I look in the mirror most mornings and can't seem to figure out how my face has changed. There are still no lines there despite being 30. No wrinkles, no blotchy spots, no acne. If I wrinkle my nose I start to see a few lines just beneath my eyes but even these are faint and you have to really look for them ( Read more... )

Decided to leave this account as it is and started a new blog over on Blogger.com. Follow the link to read on!

See you later, space cowboy.

I turned the big 3-0, no longer a twenty-something. I've had a little time to reflect on life, to read over my blog and to have a few realizations. I think this year, today in fact, I will adopt the emblem of the phoenix. After reading the posts spanning years, and feeling as I do today, it's easy for me to finally draw the conclusion that I, and ( Read more... )

I don't even know where to start. For the past year my life has felt like a badly written country music song. I suppose I could just do an "end of the year" review things and try to catch everything up to speed. Problem is, it's been such a blur that I'm sure I'll leave something out.

So I've spent an entire month with Matt in Boston, doing crazy things the entire time. We went to a Wicked Faire, spent Valentine's together and will shortly celebrate three years as a couple.

The move was a hard one, with things not going at all as planned. But we're in, relaxing and things are coming together. We're too stretched for a Christmas budget, but that doesn't mean my dearest friends haven't been kind, sending me small gifts with a big impact ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm not quite that chipper, it's still early and thanks to the move, my sleep schedule is all normal. I go to bed early and get up early. Ick. I'm trying to figure out how to put myself in words, to explain the process of moving everything except memories. Starting over ( Read more... )

Packing up everything you own makes you come across some pretty bizarre stuff. I've found journals from high school and books I haven't seen since the sixth grade. As I was leafing through a journal from my senior year, I had the sudden urge to turn to the very last page and what should I find ( Read more... )

I'm staying the weekend with Autumn, with Brad on vacation this means it's a lot more like how it used to be, only not in Corunna and no Cheryl yelling randomly, with her dad rambling through and asking where the flowers is ( Read more... )

As I was riding with my dad to ritual, somehow the topic of taboos came up and he made a startling commentary on today's society. "It's taboo to have genitalia ( Read more... )
