Discharged and back at apartment!

Just a quick note to say everything went well, and the hospital discharged me this morning and I'm back at the apartment Dan and I are using near Stanford. Still have to stay here in the "safe zone" area until around July 16th (give or take a day) and have a follow-up appointment tomorrow at the clinic at 10AM, but just feel great not being actually IN the hospital. I gotta say though - usually I'm totally crawling up the walls toward the end of my stays - this one was very pleasant and relax

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Michael Jackson

I was supposed to take a vacation to get away from the f**king heat here in the midwest (see last blog entry: Doldrums), so I did. To Cleveland. Now I know what you're thinking, not exactly a tourist mecca, and you'd be right, even though all the cute guys up there look a lot like Billy. And even though I went up there for a wedding (family thing...drank too much..puked...did it right) you may want to re-think that and make a stop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.   It's set on the wa

June 25th

First - thank you to Dan for his updates while I've been .... um.... hehe - more "out" of it.   Today has been a very full day. Physically, I'm feeling fantastic. Since I got re-admitted to the hospital last Saturday, I've gone up and down on the fever scale (my first big fever broke Monday morning, and had a 2nd spike yesterday). Today, every one of my temps has been in more of a normal range. Temps in the hospital are taken in Celsius - under 37C is totally normal, 37-38 is a low grade

It's Too Effing Hot

Yeah, and I'm working in the heat these days. Today, it was like 103 degrees and humid. It's horrible! I knew it was going to be hot, but it's only June. Maybe that means it'll be 120 next month. I have always disliked summer. Now I dislike it even more.

In Dreams...

I had an odd dream last night. Well, not so much odd, for me, as unexpected.   For some reason whenever I dream about a home, it's always my aunts house. The one I moved out of some 5 years ago now. It does not matter if the home is supposed to be my home, or someone elses home it's always that particular house.   Anyhow I dreamt1 of it again last night. In this incarnation, it was not my home, nor was it my aunts home;it was the home of a guy I was interested in. He seemed happy, content e

Awesome first two days

I love my new job, it is the best job ever. It is so much fun. I look forward to work each day, and I am a little sad that I have to wait until 5 pm to go back to work tomorrow.   Loss Prevention is the best job I have ever had. The day flies by. It is interesting, and it keeps you on your toes.   Remember, if you are not at home (well maybe even if you are) someone could always be watching.   It is interesting how you watch someone and they have absolutely no idea, they are totally obliv

Life is worth an entry

An interesting quote that sums up eternity

My 22nd Birthday is tomorrow, so I am thinking on the ideas of eternity. The quote highlights a Taoist principle of reincarnation under certain interpretations, but it also poses interesting ideas on the nature of one's existence and life. If your birth does not begin your life, then could you trace your life story back to the previous generation's action culmination in your creation. If death is not the end, then can you interpret into the future what your actions will create.   A look backwa

Doldrums

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

First day at a new job.

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

Walking on Cinder & Ash

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

Black and White

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

Technically, this is a story, which means I can go to Borders again

: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

Apparently, there is a recycling hierarchy and Happy Birthday to The Shack!

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

Gay Prom and other stuff....

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

Mourning

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

GUESS WHO I MET TODAY

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

Once upon a time... (I may have already used this title once)

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.

My kingdom by the sea

DEARLY; departed

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

Military Rant - Be Warned

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.   Now onto

Got To Draw The Line Somewhere...

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.

The Pros and Cons of Breathing...

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
