I slept with a woman last night...

Two blog entries in the same month? No way! But this one is short.   Ever have one of those nights where you're laying in bed at 1:30 watching CSI and it's a creepy part when someone starts tapping on your window? So you pause the show thinking it was just your mind, but the tapping happens again. Then you can't turn the light on so you throw clothes on and open the door to pitch black and all you see is someone standing there crying. No? Well it happened to me...   Turns out it was my gener

Awake, pt. 5

As usual it's close to 02:30 while I'm starting this entry.   The surgery went well, I suppose as the meeting with the surgeon it's till next week. Pain medication lasted a few days meaning I still have lots if I need them in the future.   I've started to teach myself Spanish (Latin American). I subscribed to Rosetta Stone and have finished two units so far. I like their immersion process as it is similar to the language training (North Vietnamese) I had in the Air Force back in the late Six

My Winter

If I can just make it through winter I'll be fine. Winters are always the hardest for me. I know it doesn't seem like I've had a particularly difficult winter based on my recent blog posts, and indeed I really haven't, but nevertheless, winters are the toughest. Februarys especially are tough. I'm usually still riding on my fall energy until February. After February things start to come back to life. But in February...well I'm done. No more energy, harder to keep perspective, harder to ke

and my wasted heart will love you until...

Sorry, guys, I'm on sappy love movie number two of the day, and that's not counting Fanboys we saw earlier, too, which, by the way, was pretty good, if anyone was curious.   So, I have a question for you...   My daughter came home from school today all upset because... Well, at her school, the kids can buy these candy gram things to send to their friends. She got two from her friends and didn't really like the candy it came with, so she gave the candies to two of her classmates. Now, as I u

Yes, I'm alive.

No, I'm not well. I'm sick. I hack up solid mucus for the most part. This is after sleeping mind you, which I will be doing in about 10 minutes after this is posted and I cackle at people.   I still have no job. I'm looking but it's hard when your ankles swell in the f**king heat. So I'm broke.   I'm selling stories. One shots. Want the details, PM or -E-mail me. I'll tell you what's the what.   I hate Yuma. I want to kill my aunt. I want to go on a homicide spree because of all the stupid

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

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.

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.

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

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
