Another step
Friday, John and i went and walked the dogs around the woods again. Can't go there again until i get some more frontline. I found 4 ticks on bella and one on Bae. But we can try the park or somewhere else.
Today, i did a little mile walk around the building at work.
I walked with MapMyWalk! Distance: 1.15mi, time: 24:44, pace: 21:29min/mi, speed: 2. ( Read more... ) -
the way things should be
"You're not supposed to hit a guy with glasses." I say, mostly joking. She only meant to tap my arm, but stumbled and fell into me, hard. I will have a bruise in the morning. Fortunately, I don't think I'm sober enough to remember how it got there in the morning. I open the door to the fridge and pull out a bottle of beer, opening it with the ( Read more... ) -

Why is it that people on these things are always looking for "someone who doesn't play games" and describe themselves as "laid back" or "easy going"? I mean, really? Is that really a quality EVERYONE wants AND possesses? I want to know if someone is going to be feisty and playful and a control freak - if they're going to want to put a fucking trash ( Read more... ) -

The blond is back, pressing another rocks glass into my hand, tracing her fingers up my arm. I take more big gulps. My head gets a little fuzzier, my emotions numb. My stomach starts to unclench, my blood flows again. The blond takes my hand and leads me to some vacated chairs. As we walk past, the hostess catches my eye and smiles, giving me a ( Read more... ) -

Across the party, I watch them. He gently, subtly, tugs on his earlobe. She pulls all her long red hair away from her left ear, draping it over her right shoulder. He leans in and whispers something to her. I don't know what. No one does. They are sharing a secret. We used to share secrets, she and I. Whatever he tells her, it makes her smile. And ( Read more... ) -
i'd just like ta say....
i went to a wine tasting tonight. Really, honestly, mostly i could give a crap about wine. I know a few brands/types and am actually fairly decent with pairing wines and foods, but I don't care what kind of grapes or aging or barrels went into the actual process. It's more like *takes sip* "this is a white wine, but it is surprisingly tart and dry ( Read more... ) -
editing
It's egotistical, maybe, but I really like going back through things I wrote and re-reading them. I realized I really need to properly archive some of my writing. I also realized that I have very few "polished" and finished pieces. There comes a point where the editing is very fine-tuned and it's not as obvious where changes need to be made - ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Here it is, another Saturday where I haven't even gotten out of my pajamas. Just lounging on the futon, watching DVDs from Netflix alone. Apparently I got all my socializing out yesterday. It's awfully late in the day to decide that it's lame and want to do something - yet I do. Oh well ( Read more... ) -
The fire department is on their way.
Holy geez, why am I such a psychopath who never considers the consequences of her well-intentioned yet ridiculous actions? -
