Yeah, probably not going to completely abandon the LJ just yet. Facebook is cool and all, but it's waaaay too connected and open. Especially to people I work with. My livejournal shall stay nice and cozy with friends and loved ones. And ronsrants. Don't even know how he ended up on here... Whatevs.

Drove home drunk tonight. It was amusing. Oh, don't worry. Obeyed every traffic light, watched my speed limit, keep my driving smooth and straight. I am always the careful drunk. The lines on the road seemed sharper, the headlights of the few other cars were brighter, the road itself surreal in clarity. Kind of like I had a niche I had just ( Read more... )

Maybe it's bad sleep habits.
Maybe it's the low-grade, background stress has been slightly more elevated lately (mostly money issues).
Maybe I'm just standing wrong at work.

But I feel like a dried, twisted piece of beef jerky. Ugh.

Just so you know, outside of fretting over unemployment, life right now is BOOOOOOOOORING. We're without direction, beyond work-searching. Everything is put on hold for that one detail. I'd taken up riding to work after I stopped working, to keep up the exercise. About an hour of riding over hilly terrain forces the sweat out of you, even if ( Read more... )

Beach trip went pretty well, aside from my getting sick the first night there and staying pretty ick from then until, oh, this morning. The fates lean against me having good rest or fun unmolested. Still, it was a good trip, and generally very relaxing. Fairly mellow and stable throughout the week, too. Not bad ( Read more... )

I've readjusted my diet. That may probably have been a major factor, since I had tried a rather sudden switch from bad habits to good ones, and the shift probably threw me good. I'm also exercising, and have been refusing rides to work, biking in instead. After yet again even more talking, I've been pretty good since last update. I still feel ( Read more... )

This post is going to be fairly meta. My apologies. There's a lot going on with me right now. Some of it I said I wouldn't talk about on here. Just wanted to say that I'm on a roller coaster, not even sure if I am going up or down at the moment. I think, at this moment, I am in a much better grasp of things than in the last month. There are ( Read more... )

I recall my early 20's being a time of intense emotion. Joy, anger, lust, boredom, (misplaced) romance and loneliness. Certainly not on par with the rollicking times I have now (that's sarcasm, folks). But my apparent recollection of those years as being bright and colored with feelings and experiences, I wonder if it is my age, my experience, ( Read more... )

I haven't posted much lately, I admit. I have been thinking of things to say, but usually I get a paragraph in, and suddenly I feel like I shouldn't say that, and cancel the post. Maybe I'm losing interest? Maybe it's not entertaining anymore? Well, in case I'm still holding a following of Bill-readers, here's an update ( Read more... )

Do people still do internet dating anymore? Or am I seeing less of it because it's an age-group sort of thing, sort of like criminal profiling? "White male, 18-24, wearing a baseball cap and his heart on his sleeve." I read somewheres (yes, plural) that the #1 situation in which lovers and mates meet is at work. Oh, there's drama at work, for ( Read more... )
