Sometimes I'll think of a pretty melody and even though I don't like it, I play it anyway. I don't like it but I'm proud of it so I play it anyway. They're the best played melodies but only because I don't really care for them. I couldn't play a melody pretty if I didn't really hate it for being so damn pretty.

If you ever doubt the size of the gay community, then consider at least one third of your friends and family in the closet ( Read more... )

For a time, I was very content. I was too content for my own good. Then, I decided that I deserved a little more of everything. I have a lot more of everything but all I want to write about is my discontent ( Read more... )

I realized recently that I read slowly for a reason... An old woman at a DePaul hosted workshop explained to me that she was up until 3 A.M. doing her homework because she's a "perfectionist." At first I thought, 'no, because you're dumb.' She is the same woman that I have been hired to assist in the computer lab for a week because she literally ( Read more... )

Today, the uniquely attractive nurse boy came in to Caribou to study but this time he was in his street clothes instead of scrubs. I hate to admit that he may have been wearing a shirt with a flashy logo of the Hollister co. fame but I'm not really sure because my brain tends to block out painful memories of yore. I try to make eye contact ( Read more... )

I'm still going to drink milk, though, until I find enough foods to substitute it. I haven't eat gluten in two days. Words could not describe my change in energy ( Read more... )

He also happens to teach acoustics relating to cognitive science and is in fact a rare expert and entrepreneur of his field with countless awards and honors. He speaks English, Greek and French and you have been set up on a blind ( Read more... )

Recently, my genuineness was questioned. Turns out it that I am quite insincere most of the time. I really only like to be around certain kinds of people at certain times. I actually prefer to be by myself. I'm finding more and more that this is the case at all times of the day. I actually don't like to drink, I don't like staying up and I don't ( Read more... )
