So today I was all gung ho about going into work, excited about seeing some new little kids (being a sub in a headstart site means meeting hundreds of kids around the county, all infallibly cute) and working in northampton today, which I love!  But there was only one actual teacher (who by the by is incompetent and unskilled and whiney and ( Read more... )

So I am facing homelessness, and my parents chose this time to tell me that they don't want a relationship with me if I disagree with them about abandoning my grandmother, and...I am facing homelessness.  Actually don't know where to go ( Read more... )

So I read this article in Al Jazeera about how there is biological proof of morality and empathy, or kindness, in not only humans but many animals.  The argument is based in the idea that insofar as we need each other in order to survive on one level or another, empathy and kindness are naturally conducive to our longevity (Darwin even gets a word ( Read more... )

Also, Al Jazeera did an investigation into Chaplin's life recently.....who knew.  http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2012/02/20122177522841929.html

Gr.  I was complaining to Liza last night while drunk that it doesn't matter how drunk I get or how late I stay up, invariably I wake up at six and there's nothing I can do about it.  Proved myself right by drinking righteously, going to bed way too late, and kicking off all of my blankets and walking straight for the shower at six am before my ( Read more... )

Funny how things change.  Now I feel sick, and my day suddenly sucks.  What is with this week?  I literally got a virus on Sunday, recovered on Tuesday, and now I am sick with something all over again?  I was working at the preschool this morning and feeling myself getting worse and worse, and I started shuttering with revulsion every time a kid ( Read more... )

Liza moved in last night!  I thought I would be a little territorial or something, but oh my god, just one night was heavenly enough to put a stop in all of my petty neurosis.  She's really just great.  AND she's dating another of my best friends, and both presently know my housemate, which means we all be friends ( Read more... )

I just realized that for the first time in months I have enough expendable income to take some sort of roadtrip, on some days off, and go see friends!  What an awesome realization!  I'm all a titter.  I'll probably head down to Annapolis but ALSO New York is housing a great deal of acquaintances...hm hm hm.  Feeling good ( Read more... )

I deactivated my facebook account, and am supplementing computer time I spend on my google reader (which is awesome) until I adjust a little better.  I haven't been without facebook since the month before my freshman year, and I'm pretty excited ( Read more... )

Also Anna moved to Costa Rica for a little while which means that I, for the first time in six months, can be by myself again, no excuses at all!  I have my own apartment, and my own space, and it feels so good!  I love her and am so glad that she is off on her adventures, and of course loved being able to spend time with her, but man alive I am 24 ( Read more... )
