I went to the dentist for the first time in a couple years (a whole lot of painful scraping and gum bleeding). Apparently I am more susceptible to plaque than most people my age (got the "floss daily" lecture). And I need superficial fillings (but not cavaties...prevention?)...I am assuming the dentist is being honest, because I really know ( Read more... )

The t.v. show Arrested Development is my new favorite show. The first season is on DVD. Watch it... it will bring smiles and laughter...

At my job, people bring problems to me to solve. Sometimes I know what to do and I think, "cool, I know what I am doing" (which can be kind of weird because sometimes I don't know where my solutions come from, or how I ended up actually knowing stuff....)and it feels good to be competent and understand why I was hired. Then sometimes, I have no ( Read more... )

I highly recommend the coast guard festival in Grand Haven. It was very, very fun. All these boats tie up together out on the water and you get to meet all these random people and there are water gun fights and stuff. 7 hours on a boat with not a cloud in the sky. I wish I had a boat. I got a bit sunburned though, including my scalp where I part ( Read more... )

A friend that I haven't seen or spoken to in over three years instant messaged me yesterday. We were really good friends and it is kind of sad that we lost touch for so long, but it did not feel like it was that long (she is now living in New York and will be in the Detroit area to visit in a week). Put me in a nostalgic state, hence the return ( Read more... )

I long for the days when horses and trains were the source of transportation. I finally have enough money to pay off my car/ payoff is low enough and it turns out I have a $1,000 in problems with the car. If anyone recalls that child's song "there was an old lady who swallowed a fly...." and she goes on to swallow bird or something to swallow the ( Read more... )

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYBODY ( Read more... )

I have now met two or more prostitutes, pediphiles, rapists, exhibitionists and murderers with work. Sometimes you get a creepy vibe from people, but it's scary, cuz sometimes there is no creepy vibe, and I am surprised to learn that someone has a history of disrobing in public or had stabbed a parent in their back. We also dont get much info. on ( Read more... )

My sister is now married. The wedding was mostly fun. My sister was a truely beautiful bride. The rehearsal/rehearsal dinner was one of the more awkward nights of my life since my parents haven't seen each other in almost five years and my mom had never met/seen my dad's wife. Plus my estranged relationship with my father and not having seen ( Read more... )

Work has been pretty intense lately. The misrepresentation of schizophrenia in the media really does it an injustice-- it is such a sad illness. Other illnesses people may lose control of their body (which is bad), but to lose control of your mind...and at such young ages...at least medication helps some people though, if they have enough ( Read more... )
