A Brand New Day....Coming Tomorrow

Entries in this blog

Flirting

So I've been wanting to write an entry about this since Valentine's day, but I kept getting distracted with other things. If you happened to read my pre-Valentine's day blog, "A dozen long-stem Artichokes", you'll know that my plans for Valentine's day included hitting a gay club in a nearby city. So I did. It was fun, I'd been to this particular one, one other time, and there were definitely alot more people there this 2nd time.   So I walked in and started hanging around by the bar. So

My Nose Knows

So I was in the shower the other day when all of a sudden my nose started bleeding. Which really isn't a big deal. Ever since I was a young child I've had nosebleeds when sick. So I mean it doesn't really phase me at all. I hate it because it's messy and gross, but it doesn't upset me at all. Anyway it's been better the last few years and as I said I almost never get them unless I'm sick. And when I do it usually does happen randomly in the shower. I guess it's the heat and humidity, I do

One Less Thing To Worry About

So I get to work today and notice that a women I work with, Pam, isn't there. Well I didn't think that was very odd because the last time I worked (on Tuesday, Wednesday was my day off) she was sick. So my boss is there so I greet him and say "So Pam's still sick huh?" and he looks flustered for a second and then responds: "No, I had to let her go. She kept giving Patrick a hard time about being gay.", then he added "but that wasn't the only reason anyway."   So a little background. Patric

A Stronger PrescriptionForTheseRoseColouredGlasses

So I really am an optimist. I mean I pretty much knew that anyway but I suddenly realized how definite it was the other day. See I've been eating alot of grits lately! I love grits! I'm on quite a grit kick. Anyway this is great except I only had three glass bowls, So I pretty much had to wash them often by hand to keep from running out. Which isn't so bad really, I mean I don't mind washing dishes that much; in fact it's one of my favourite "mindless tasks", but still it does get old ya k

"Sometimes I Wish For A Mistake"

"I always thought I'd be a mom Sometimes I wish for a mistake The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get You seem like you'd be a good dad   Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life How'd I get so faithful to my freedom? A selfish kind of life When all I ever wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life "   ~A Simple Kind of Life by No Doubt   For someone who's so basically completely unconventional and who prides himself on his individuality

A Dozen Long Stem Artichokes

I don't get flowers. I mean obviously I don't get flowers since A) I'm not in a relationship and B ) even if I were I don't think guys recieve them that often. However, by "get" I didn't mean "recieve"; I actually meant "understand". I don't understand flowers. Oh, I get that society has attached a special significance to their reception from that special someone, and as such I would be thoroughly delighted to recieve flowers from a boyfriend. Yet, all of the pleasure would be derived from

Language Overload

Well my first Latin test is tomorrow. I'm really rather concerned about it. Mostly because I don't think I'm that ready for it AND because now I feel like I'm going to disappoint my professor. But it'll work out, I'm going to study a little bit more before bed and hopefully it'll be enough. On the bright side he's allowing us to use our Latin dictionaries for the test. Which is awesome because, truth be told, I never bothered to learn my noun endings (something I should have done at the b

Thank You

I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who reads my blog and offers support and advice, to all the great people I've met in Live Chat, to everyone I so enjoy interacting with on the message boards, and in general to the entire GA community, be they actively vocal or a silent reader. This is a great place and I've met so many amazing people here. I could never thank everyone enough for the kindess, support, and good times you've all given me, nor could I say enough in praise of Myr and GACs

February

"February made me shiver with every paper I delivered, bad news on the door step, I couldn't take one more step"   Well it's here. The month I literally dread all year. I'll just go ahead and say it now; February sucks! ALOT! I'll explain.   Two Februarys ago it was pretty much the worst time of my life (thus far). Why? Well tough to say. I know in general I was feeling extremely lonely and pathetic, but there probably wasn't much of a tangible reason. Of course that's what makes it

Semi-Charmed Kinda Life

I think one of the main reasons I like doing stuff for myself, and all around being independent, is because growing up people always took care of everything for me. Don't get me wrong it was absolutely great, and I DID try to watch and learn for myself, but when it came down to it most of the time all I had to do was smile and say "please" and "thank you".   See as I've mentioned in previous entries. I grew up an only child with my mom and grandparents. Well everyone knows how grandparents

Monogamy Does Exist Right?

So today sucked!   Let's see where to begin? Well first off I text messaged, then eventually called and old (very dear) friend of mine, Claire. I could write pages on end about the complicated, but awesome sorta past we've had, but to get to the subject at hand; she broke up with her girlfriend, Mary. They'd been dating about two years now too. And actually they were one of those examples of "a happy gay couple I knew in real life". I dunno after hearing all about it, I guess it's for the

I Had to have Another Hit

I was trembling.   I'd carefully avoided it all day, but now the withdrawal was getting stronger. My nerves were shot. I couldn't stop pacing. Thinking back I realized that I couldn't pinpoint the exact time the addiction started. At first it was something I only did occasionally. Maybe as a way to celebrate, or after a stressful day. Then I gradually began to need a fix everyday. I'd promised myself those days were behind me now. I'd even told everyone that, that part my history was

Funny Moments From the Last Year

So I was just in one of those reminiscent moods this evening and I got to thinking of all the funny little moments in my life over the last year or so. SO for your reading pleasure, and in the spirit of my reminiscing, I'll recount a few.   ************************************************** Setting and background: Me, Kim and a couple of other co-workers were all at work and somehow the conversation turned to underwear.   Kim: "My pants are so lose, I wish I'd worn some cuter underwear to

DIYS-ing and Classes

***so this probably won't really be very interesting to anyone, but I still wanted to post it just in the general "journal" sorta way people do, ignore it unless you've got extra time on your hands or think I'm a much better storyteller than I'm guessing I am.***   So last night I was just getting into the shower. I'd adjusted the water temp. and I pulled the stopper up on the faucet to turn on the shower stream and......the little plastic washer thing that blocks up the water and makes it go

A Boyfriend or a Playmate

So today was totally amazing!   I had work, which was pretty much uneventful. Then as I was about to leave, Amber came in for her shift. I hadn't seen her in about 3 weeks. See she basically transferred to our other location, but was filling in for someone. Well I pretty much had felt like it was all for the best, that she'd made it more or less clear she wasn't interested in being close friends anymore, and that I (and she) was better off. Then I saw her. I had a reaction which rather t

Next on the List

So it's not going perfectly, but I gotta say I think I'm doing better with my New Year's resolutions than I usually do. I resolved to:   1)Basically quit drinking except in very safe social situations. I mean I never thought I was drinking excessively, heck I think I only got drunk three times all of last year. I guess what was concerning me was that I really got to the point that I'd crave a margarita a couple of times a week, and if no one wanted to get one with me, I got to the point I'd

Old Tennis Balls

You ever just find yourself with pointless clutter that you don't know what to do with. I mean you don't need the random objects anymore (if you ever did at all), but there's nothing wrong with them so you hate to throw them away, but then they're so random you don't really have a "place" for them.   See tonight I decided I was going to thoroughly clean up my room, and ruthlessly throw away all the old junk I don't need. Then I'm going to my kitchen, and dumping all the stuff in my pantry

Round Two: I Can Do Better

So I was going to write this whiney entry complaining about all the things I couldn't do. All the things I used to know and can't remember; all the hopes I had that didn't pan out; all the skills I had that I've lost. Then I realized, What the heck am I whining about? I should just get out there and learn it/relearn it/do it.   I'm sick of making excuses, lowering my standards, and playing for sympathy. I'm sick of doing it the easy way. I'm sick of worrying. I'm sick of playing it saf

To Be In The Kitchen

So today was okay I guess. I was at work and around 11:00 I got this call from the apartment complex I was interested in, in Houston. Turns out they were doing the final bits of paper work, before they placed me on the "priority waiting list", and they had a problem with some of my information. Namely that I didn't currently clear three times the amount of rent per month. I of course politely said that 1) I was pretty sure I could afford the place on my current income because it's not that m

I Want To Get Straight

So I guess I'm turning into this huge cliche' . I've got all these plans for the new year, and how I'm going to get everything in my life straightened out and do better. First off I decided I didn't want to waste anymore of my youth. I figure if I'm not really healthy and active now, it'll just be harder when I get older (and for the record I'm not planning to even get middle aged until I'm AT LEAST 60 :king: ). So I went for a nice run around the neighborhood, and did some other random exe

In the Next Year....

So contrary to what most people seem to be saying. I really liked 2005, it was a good year for me. So anyway I really like making "resolutions", in fact I know it's silly because I could really quit doing something anytime of the year, but I always look forward to New Year's and Lent so that I have an excuse to give something up. So I think I'm going to give up chocolate and alcohol for 2006. Both with a lot of conditions though. Like I have alot of chocolate right now, and I'm going to go

I Make Little Girls Cry

So Christmas was fun. I went and visited with my mom and grandparents, then my mom and I went to see my aunt and cousin (They're still not eager to mix with my grandmother ). Boy I'd forgotten how much fun my cousin could be! We played cards for awhile, hung out, listened to music, chatted. It was really nice. I also decided I got really lucky in the family department, and within the family for some reason (and I feel a little guilty about it), my aunt, cousin, and grandmother seem to tre

Confessions of a Recovering Neurotic

So let's see the last couple of days have been really good. Yesterday at work we exchanged gifts. It was great I got this really nice box of truffles (MMMMM), a watch (which I love), a book (which I'll read sooner or later), and random other goodies, and I think everyone liked what I got them too. Anyway then after work I hung out with a friend of mine (and also gave her, her Christmas present, which she really liked), We went to Wal-Mart for awhile because she needed some stuff for a trip s

The Second Christmas Party

OK so I just got back from a Christmas party, this one hosted by (and attended by) different people from work. Anyway it was pretty fun, but not as much fun as the first one. The first one was more everyone I'm close with, and was in a familiar setting. This was with more "friendly acquaintances" and I'd actually never been to the girl's apartment before. Anyway when I got there I only knew like two people, and to make matters worse most of the guys there seemed like your typical redneck sou

I Have A Dream

So let's see, I got home from work yesterday and went straight to sleep (yeah it was like 4pm), and I slept until about midnight, then I lounged around in bed for about an hour. It was awesome, I love being in bed and not being asleep. I usually fall asleep pretty fast, and I usually stay asleep until I HAVE to get up, so it's always really nice to just chill. Anyway, all that aside, something useful actually happened too.   I had this really weird (kinda creepy) dream. It was about these
