    Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 9 - Aug. 15)

    By wildone

    Greetings my little chickadees.   Let's get everyone to shout out a chickadee call. Chick a dee dee dee   No, sadly I'm not drunk. Just a name I occasionally call people. Why, i don't know  How about yourself, what is a name you call a group of friends that you know? Mates, pals, gals, ladies, men, boys. girls. Please don't light up the Moderation Teams PM and Alert system by using that British term for a finch, as it is not allowed on GA. Why you ask. There are certain words that Goog

Alright... since it seems to be an issue

So, it seems that people want to minimize my bad experience. So now I'm just going to tell everyone what it was all about. Here's how it was. A couple of years ago I was really into this guy. He was a lot older than me. It was the summer after my dad died, so I was seeking older men. Here's the thing. He'd been raped repeatedly when he was a teen. Thus, he was scared. So basically, I got a total mind f**k from hell, and that's why I have serious issues where "closet cases" are concerned. I got h

Hosted Status: Quite a Journey

I'm kind of a rebel. Seems like I often end up fighting against "the system," and I usually end up mouthing off and getting myself in trouble. I've done that plenty of times here at GA, and gotten myself in lots of trouble. Even got some warning bars along the way. Of course, for someone like me, that was almost a badge of honor. At least it used to be.   I was gone from GA for quite awhile. Almost 2 years. I pretty much bailed during the "days of Kitty," and I really hadn't planned t

Around Red Bank... My hand at photography

Hey everyone Today before work I took some pictures of the town I love, Red Bank NJ. It's a nice town filled with lots of open space, neat little shops, a Starbucks and the like. While I was taking pictures, I was listening to a song that I've come to fall in love with "Asleep - The Smiths" and I personally think it goes well with the photos I took. So if you want, take a look at the photos and listen to the song while doing so. If you wanna leave some comments, feel free to here or on the act

Whats Up... Class starts again next week and it looks like I'm going to end the off time with a whimper rather than a bang. That's okay though, I got a lot done over the break. Not writing wise, but I guess I sorted some personal shit out, ran into some more, and got that dealt with.   Crap I still need to buy books, and update the FAFSA... :wacko: Totally out of left field...   A cheap little prepaid TMobil phone was left at the station last week. No one has claimed it, or even asked ab

Finally!

Well, I have good news x3. I have a job now! I start on Tuesday. I have a new phone, and I've already taught myself how to text in very little time. I am going to be checking into some college classes on Saturday.

Stupid Valentine's Day

If someone were to prophesize to me that 'In five years, you'll be with the love of your live, living happily ever after', I'd be enjoying my life the way it is now.   I'm single, have my dog, have my house, and am secure in my job. My relatives live far enough away that I'm not bogged down by the family drama, yet we can get on the phone at any time to reconnect. I have friends to do stuff with when I need company, but no one to smother me when I want to do my things (rollerblading, biking,

Awake, pt. 4

It's 02:30 now and, of course, I'm awake. It's a given, although last night I slept clear through. So the sleeplessness, like the depression, comes and goes. (I wonder if there's a link; well, of course, there's a link. That's already been established by the shrink. Only, I'm not depressed right now.)   Why am I awake right now? Because I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm wound up from nervousness because I have to be at the outpatient surgery clinic at 10:30 in the morning for the arthroscopy of

Higher, I Want To Go Higher...

Todays adventure, in the world of Michael...       "Higher, Mr. Michael, Higher!" J said in between pushes.   "Okay, but tell me to stop if you go too high alright buddy?"   "I want to go all the way above that tree!" He said pointing to the old big tree shading him from the sun.   "That's too high! You might fall off and land in the tree!" I said with a chuckle   "Stop too high!" he screamed, when I started to push him with two hands instead of just one because my arm was getting so

Life is worth an entry

It's been a while

Well, Long story short, my holiday break from GA was extended up to February due to Chinese New Years and cold in the middle of January.   I have missed you guys immensely .   News from me:   -Still unemployed, now along with 3 million other happy souls, hurray!!!   -Still going to grad school, had to reduce courseload due to money conservation, but I will finish this year even under a tight budget.   -Dating again, Staunch liberal democrat and MIT computer undergrad. I don't know why

Wow! What a pleasant coincidence!

In the beginning of March I'm planning on taking a trip to Austin for a gay rights rally. I'm really looking forward to it! I've been dying to go to Austin anyway. My friends Claire (who still lives in Louisiana but is planning on moving to Austin), Mandi (Baton Rouge), and Jenn (Ohio, but visiting Mandi) are going to go with me. That ought to be a lot of fun, they'd all come to visit for New Year's and we had a ball! So the rally is on Monday and right now the tentative plan is for them to

The Century Mark

Well, it's finally here. This is my 100th blog entry officially, though I've actually deleted a few, so there have actually been more than that. I have a message for someone. I'm not going into detail or mentioning names, but when I find something distasteful, my conscience tells me to say something. People talk, and I know things. The first thing I want to say is that I think that it's rather rude to rub something in someone's face. Is it not enough to hurt someone? You think pouring salt into

Holding patterns

I hate not being sure of something. I believe this is at the heart of my ... issues lately. That being said, I usually never act on something if there is risk involved. What can I say, I'm a big pussy in that regard. Somehow, over the last several weeks, I am no longer sure of much anything at all and its bugging the hell out of me.   It started with one thing and just ballooned from there. People whose presence I took for granted are talking about moving across the country, the job I have had

Smileyface!

So I'm wasting time right now until Kevin decides to wake up. I've been basically living at his apartment, going home to shower/shave/change/grab stuff and then I pretty much come right back, and I go to class. I gotta say it's sort of funny how now that I've backed away from my social circles, everyone's paying a lot of attention to me. It's so ironic that when I actually wanted attention, I could never get anyone to give me the time of day, and now that I have Kevin, everybody wants me to p

It's a long one...

Alright so I haven’t blogged since November and I’ve really been meaning to, I just haven’t found the time. I’m going to end up rambling on and on here so feel free to skip it all   I’ll start with all the things that have been causing me to be overly stressed lately. Which in all honesty is a lot of crap and I’m probably on the verge of having an anxiety attack, but f**k it. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger I guess.   School has been alright, nothing major, but we’re nearing

It's "Me" Time

A lot has happened this week and I mean ALOT   Yes I finally finished LG chapter 6 and almost chapter 7, 6 should be out sometimes this week, and then hopefully go back to weekly chapters, if all goes according to plan.   In other news, I found out tonight for sure...   In a week I'll be on a plane...   Not going anywhere fancy, just to one of the other islands of Hawaii, of which I will spend 8 days, of basic training.   No I did not join the National Guard, or the military, or anythi

In the end only kindness matters.

Or so Jewel said in her single Hands   I believe it personally. In the end there's not much else really. Kindness is simple. Kindness is honest. Kindness trumps all else.   Kindness is more important than being right, more important than being better, more important than agreeing, more important even than love. What is love without kindness? Nothing I'd want to see.   Really I think kindness is love, and forgiveness, and mercy, and humility all rolled into one.   Kindness is comfor

Some things that drive me nuts

#1: People who do the hot and cold thing. Okay, first of all, it seems pretty stupid. I am one who often let's people know what's on my mind. I prefer to know what's going on. My imagination can run wild. It makes it hard for me to sleep and just leads to confusion, frustration, and tension. Tell me how it is. Don't try to save face and avoid the issues. I am no some naive teenager. I'm an adult who just likes to know what's up. I hate mind games.   #2: Just because I don't get along with a pa

Hope, it all comes down to hope...

So it's been an eventful week.   We got approved for our loan modification, I'm two weeks away from getting my substantial raise, one of my very best friends from work got transferred, someone gossiped to me and I acted like a total girl about it, but then I came to my senses (thank you Chris) and we're fine. There was more drama at work, and it wasn't about me, I got volunteered to do the monthly newsletter for in-store communication, and we did 'Go RED' Friday.   It's been raining for tw

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Awake, pt. 3

When I met with my therapist last week one of the things we talked about was waking up after 2 or 3 hours and not being able to get back to sleep because I couldn't turn my mind off.   She spoke of recent studies that have shown America seems to be practically alone in its obsession with getting a "full night's sleep." 8 hours of sleep in a single, continuous slog doesn't seem to be the norm. Now, I'm not troubled that it is 0400 and I'm writing this instead of lying in bed trying to get my mi

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Half an hour to breakfast

Okay, I'm on a schedule. The mood stabilizer is supposed to be taken 12 hours apart. And, no, I am not keeping a diary. I know I should, but I'm not. I'm not that kind of person.   I've written two previous entries this week. Unfortunately, one is somewhere in GAland hiding under for barren patch of memory because I clicked when I shouldn't and the other because, well, I just didn't feel like posting it, some entries are simply not meant to live.   I'm back in therapy and my counselor is for

I'M the f**ked up one here! B*tch, know your place!

. . . sorry. When I get angry I get all . . . ghetto. Sorry. And let me back up.   My friend Jonathan (the one who recently broke up with his boyfriend, moved out of his parents place and into mine and whose cousin recently died) is going a little nutty. Nutty meaning depressed. And stressed. And, well . . . let me explain something about Jonathan. Now this might not be very nice to say, but I don't count him as a friend. More someone I hang with to not be lonely. But I know he counts me as o
