Ugh...
It's been one of those days,,,they seem to happen more and more frequently the older I get. Those days when I just feel SO behind the curve, and it almost feels like I'm an outcast from the human race or something. This is NOT where I thought my life would be at this point, and it's supremely frustrating. It also stresses me out, because a short ( Read more... ) -
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I just finished reading “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” for the first time. I know, I’m behind the curve, haha. I’ve wanted to read it for a while, because several of my friends have quotes from it on their facebook profiles, but it took the movie coming out to get me to actually read it (so I could decide whether or not to see the movie). Anyway ( Read more... ) -
Bad Habits, Stagnation, and Cravings
Lately I've been noticing some bad habits that I have. The biggest of which, right now, is that I am really bad at being proactive, even when I'm highly motivated. For example: Marcus and I have been talking about getting a dog since fairly early on in our relationship. In our apartment, it wasn't really feasible, but when we moved into the ( Read more... ) -

Last month seems so long ago I can barely remember what it was like. But at least I'm starting to settle into this new routine (finally ( Read more... ) -

Quick Note
Hello, LJ world! Just wanted to drop a quick note to say I haven't forgotten about you. I'm getting close to having another Book List post (I've been trying to make this book last for a while, but I'm almost to the end, sadly), so I should be back within the next week or so. For now, though, I just wanted to shamelessly plug my new blog, which ( Read more... ) -
Book List
4. The Summer Tree (The Fionavar Tapestry: Book One) by Guy Gavriel Kay
This was another read inspired by araken's Book List entries. He's mentioned Kay several times, and since I've realized over the years that our taste in fantasy novels is fairly similar, his Book List is a go-to spot for me to find new authors! That being said, I was hesitant to ( Read more... ) -
On Themes
I've been realizing lately that the past few years seem to have each had a theme for me. 2008 was a dark year - theme: blahness. 2009 was a year of loss. 2010 was a year of self-affirmation, self-discovery, and newfound sense of self. And 2011, so far at least, seems to be a year of forgiveness ( Read more... ) -
