Grad school... a far off dream

... that may forever remain so.   Its not that I couldn't do the coursework, I could. Its not that I can't complete all the prerequisites... I can. Its not that I lack the ambition to try courses actually requiring thought, or that I lack the writing ability to do a master's thesis. I excel at analysis and have no problem writing.   Its that I don't have the funds to sign the check to the school, nor is my credit history sufficient enough to merit borrowing against my soul. I would have to b

Has anyone else heard of the Enneagram test? http://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/test.php   Just about everyone in my family is seeing a counselor for one reason or another (some of them the same one on different days) and recently, they

morning

My professor of literature and the occult, Dr Heim, died this past weekend, may he rest in peace. He knows now the truth of what he spent most of his life seeking out.   In the meantime, I have a new professor, with a very different attitude about how to run the class. Dr. Heim had an awesome policy: tardy? what is that? Attendance? -bleh, people come or they don't thats their business and what matters is if they know the material come exam time... which is also their business. My new professo

ITFB, chapter one

In case you missed the prologue, it's in the last blog entry.           In The Fish Bowl Chapter One   Thanks to Jim for editing!   Breath fogged his cold hands as he attempted to warm them with his mouth and his thin cut of a nose felt numb beneath his foggy eyes. Snow fell in heavy flakes that covered the streets until they grew to the height of the sidewalks as he passed through the near-empty alleyway like a slow-moving drunk; in part because of the bulk of his bulky black snowsui

5 days and counting

I heard a song today that inspired an entire character. There was something funny and terrible about it all at the same time. Terrible, I guess because of what the songs about, but funny in the way the artist sings it. This is also one of those things I can

Campaign/Political Carreer and how I would deal with inevitable slander

As for the decision to run... I'd probably do what I'm sure plenty of politicians do and get the family together, talk with them about it, and after hearing their concerns make the decision from there. I think the only person who would hold an absolute veto in my mind is my boyfriend... maybe our son as well, but I would stilll want input from everyone.   As noble as it might sound to refuse to even acknowledge the inevitable slander... I know me well enough to know that I couldn't go on day a

Gay candidate for political office?

I have often considered the possibility of running for political office. I know that inevitably any run for office would mean my sexuality would be brought up. Today I saw this comment in response to a question "would you vote for someone who is gay" and it irked me enough that I ended up writing out the rest of this blog entry     Apparently it nowhere crossed his mind that candidate x's gayness may not be an issue by the choice of candidate x.   I happen to be gay, I have a long term rel

My Christmas

Well I had a terrific Christmas! When I woke up yesterday morning I sneaked into the livingroom and found a Christmas tree (which I already knew was there) loaded with presents! Seeing's how Sam's such a night owl I still had to wait three hours to get to open anything but I busied myself making monkey bread and playing with my computer program where you can design your own house to keep my mind off not waiting for Sam at all and ripping open all my presents. Long about 8:30 I couldn't take i
