It's hot and humid here in the midwest. It's f**king miserable. I hate summers here. Summers where you can't go outside for more than five minutes without getting drenched in sweat. Summers where the air-conditioner never stops running, and the electric bill shows it. Summers where the sprinklers can't keep the lawn wet one week, then torrential thunderstorms threaten to wash everything away the next. Give me snow, I can handle that, but not this shit. It makes me feel depressed and beate
Well tomorrow, well I guess today... I start a new job. I can't sleep. I am very excited, but also very nervous. I can't sleep, which sucks, because I do not want to be yawning all day at the new job.
I have wanted this job for a long time, and I am so happy that I got it. I will be working for the same company ( a retail company) but I will be moving to the store on the other side of town. I have worked for 2 years on the floor stocking shelfs and assisting customers, and now I will be wor
It has been quiet in here.
I suppose that is majorly my fault. I could say nothing has been happening, but that is a lie. A lot of things have happened in the 8 weeks since I have written anything round here... The spring semester came to a close, I only managed a 3.15 GPA for the entire semester, so I dunno what to think about it, good on one hand but meh I could do better. I should do better. Doing so wouldn't take much more effort on my part.
Im a year away from transfering to the Uni
Symbolic no? Black and White... odd and even... that's what it's been like for me lately.
Yesterday I was happy as a clam, planning on taking a vacation with Matt, making plans to goto a gay prom with him, and best of all spend some time with him. He's been kinda down, and we decided that taking some time and sleeping over and such would be good not only for him, but for us.
Then my mom comes into the picture, the she-devil of a bitch. She calls me three times in a row, and she knows whe
:Aside: It just occurred to me I forgot to forsake buying books during this year's Lenten season. Oh well, next year.:/Aside:
Sometimes life just comes together.
I was in college. My friend and I were walking on the footpath to the library, her doing most of the talking while I half listened/half boy watched. I was 21 a the time; that was what i did. And a good job too, since I noticed before she did a drop dead gorgeous blond surfer guy, short too, walking towards us in the opposite dir
Twice something like this has happened, and I'm really starting to wonder when recycling started to require this much organization by the masses. The first time I went with Rich and the kids, and we probably had about seven trash bags full of cans and bottles and there was some crazy line of people waiting to use the self-service machines. Additionally, there is a guy working there who will weigh large amounts of stuff that you separate into big trash cans. Well the first time, we used the machi
I got a call from a friend of mine today saying that there's gonna be a gay prom next Friday and that I (and Matt lol) were invited. He's gonna be hosting it as Lady Eve (one of the Drag Queens I work with lol) and it should be fun. Last prom I went to was 5 years ago at my High School, and Matt never went to one, so I'm gonna convince him to go with me
Also in a month, me and Matt will be taking our first vacation by ourselves probably to NYC or Ocean City, NJ. It should be fun and excitin
Just under thirty hours ago my grandfather passed away. It was shocking. He'd been ill for the past month but his condition seemed stabilized.
To explain the significance of this event let me clarify that my grandfather has always been my primary male, parental figure. We've always been very close and gotten along really well. I just can't begin to explain the shock and incomprehension that I am experiencing as I realize that I'll never hear his voice again. I've never lost a close fa
Catchy little title for not having written one for awhile.
Not that long ago, I found out someone was going to be in the area for a day at Hershey Park. I sent an email to see if he'd like to meet up since I only live about an hour and a half away from the park.
The day started out a little cool and rainy. Fortunately, it quite just before the park opened for the day. And just to make sure I was easily identified, I wore my yellow Talon T-shirt, the same one I took a picture of and use f
I became the mother of a freshman in high school. HOLY f**kING SHIT.
Also, she invited a boy over today. Seriously.
I'm plotting against her in a cute way, and I'm actually really excited. Have to wait till Sunday for the payoff though, and I'm not so good at the waiting thing.
Once upon a time...
I told this guy at work, Daniel, that I write gay romance and that I think he's adorable and I'd love to write him someday. He told me he writes poetry. I gave him the link to my site.
As I am writing this I am sitting in my lit class. My Professor, who likes to be called "Lewis" is talking about romanticism. I've been playing Chess for quite a while and keep using the 'undo' ability because I keep losing. It isn't that I don't respect what he is saying, but it is so methodical. He has gray hair and I'd clock him in his mid 50's, maybe early 60's. He screams literature. Powdery white hair, gravelly, lecture voice. The guy oozes the love for word, poetry and cracked out play wr
Lets get the hell out of the world politics and just focus on us. It's not like we have any credibility left after the Bush Administration, so why bother trying to make the world a better place? I mean for god sakes, what gives us the right to meddle in the affairs of other countries? Is it because we have a stable governemnt elected by the people? Well, la de frackin da. We have NO right what so ever to get involved in another country unless we are asked to. That's basic civility.

She told me I couldn't take a shower this morning because I was just going to go out in the sun get all sweaty, come home and shower again... And then proceed to tell me that I'm wasting all of her mom's money, when she's the one sleeping with the a/c on all night long...
Way to make me feel like shit...
So Fine I say I'll go shower at my own house, but no that won't work for you either...
I don't mind spending all my time with you because I know you're only here for a week.
I don'
First off, since I publicly dragged it all out here, or at least my side of it, my feelings anyway, there were never 'sides', I want to say that I'm sorry I did that. It was probably unfair in some ways and it should have been between you and me... I just didn't know what else to do. I had to get it out there, out from inside me, and I don't know if it helped, but I certainly am much happier now. Anyway, when I see you, I'll probably call you an asshole and then hug you and never let go, so fair
and now as I understand it....
41 this year...bleh. You'd think by now I'd be used to the fact that I'm in my 40s.
I'm getting more self conscious about the way I dress. I mean, it's not like I wear A&F or American Eagle or such. But I L. U. V. love Banana Republic
Here's the first section of the first chapter of the story I've been working on.......in Greek.
"Μπαμπά, πρέπει να ακούσετε αυτό;" griped Ι, για την επίτευξη του Ipod πριν έκανε ένα δυνατό κτύπημα στο χέρι μου. Άφησα ένα δυνατό αναστεναγμό και διασχίζεται χέρια μου, με τον τρόπο με τον ερεθισμένο μου είχε περάσει ολόκληρη τη μέρα.

I listen to Happy Hardcore, a genre of Techno that my friends cheerfully refer to as crack music. I finally ripped a couple old CDs of the stuff from high school onto my iPod this week, so I had absolutely no problem staying awake all night at work. My coworkers think I'm crazy, since a side effect of Happy Hardcore is that I grin maniacally and occasionally make movements into dancing.
I've forgotten how exhausting it is to be a full adult. It feels like I never have a chance to catch my b
I've been a little quiet recently, basically just recovering for the collection process which took longer than originally expected by almost a week. So, to make sure I had an adequate recovery time, the rest of my schedule got bumped so instead of having gone in June 3, I am now going in tomorrow, June 10 to start the week of heavy chemo and then a week from today, I'll get the transplant (ie, the cells that were collected from me will be reintroduced).
It will take a while for them to sett
It seems lately that everyone I know both on GA and IRL is just going nuts!
Seriously... just listen to me and CHILL!
Take some deep breaths... do some yoga... drink some tea... just do something... cus it's annoying me!

Just loved this story and so frigging true to life…
The wrought iron decoration on late 19th Century Sydney Terraced Houses is a good example of filigree.
