You know, it never fails. I've been talking about leaving Chicago for a while now, and it's just funny how life can work out ( Read more... )

I've decided to return to this journal and see if anything comes of it. I have lots of updates to make, but I also have to start somewhere ( Read more... )

The good thing about being me is that I get repeated examples handed to me, reminding me why certain things are bad for me.

I can't count the number of times I've been told that the name Brian is bad for me.  I have a few friends with that name, and they're great people.  But without fail, every single person named Brian who is a potential romantic ( Read more... )

I almost want to say that was the year that was wasted, but it would be such a lie.  Many good things happened in 2010.  Emotionally, I was somewhat slightly above "basketcase" but since most of my friends are there, too, it doesn't make much difference.

A whole year - it took me an entire year to get over Robbie.  I got him out of my system by ( Read more... )

This is going to be a short post, mainly because I need to get my ass out of the house.

I feel better than I did last month.  Most of that was because of the amazingly terrible cold I had - nothing like flying home for the holidays with a head cold, let me tell you.  I really wanted to kill myself.

I actually have no interest in talking about the new ( Read more... )

Something is amiss...  Either I've defied the laws of biology and sustained an over-30 growth spurt or everyone is lying about their height recently.  Of course, I could have been mis-measured in the past, but I've only gotten measured in doctor's offices and they tend not to fuck that up.  Anyway, I met one guy a few weeks ago who said he was 5'9 ( Read more... )

The holidays are coming up.  Part of me wishes I weren't going home.  I really like hanging out with my family, but I've been back a LOT this year.  It's exhausting - always seems like a lot of time, money, and effort goes into this.  And I like coming home, but I don't think any of them realize that sometimes I just want to stay home by myself.  I ( Read more... )

So my extended-stay houseguest, jukebox_heroine , left yesterday afternoon.  As per the usual, we had a fucking awesome time.  Mostly we ate, which is funny because those of you who know me know that to me, food is fuel.  Sometimes a social activity, too.  But Bethe and I always seem to be on a mission to stuff ourselves to the gills.  I secretly think she was ( Read more... )

So a year ago, I had the best week of my life with Robbie in San Francisco.  I really thought going back there was gonna be the end of me - lots of memories flooding back, me spiraling down into a disaster of depression, but it turned out to be another best week of my life for different reasons.

I think I finally healed.  I had a few bad moments, ( Read more... )

Here I sit at work - I should be working, but there are a LOT of things I should be doing.  I should be having sex more often.  I should be in better shape.  I really should be further out of my financial hole than I already am.  I should be a lot nicer to people even when they don't deserve it.  But since I'm not doing any of those things, I've ( Read more... )
