Today I listened to an interview of M that one of his friends conducted. Ostensibly, the interview was supposed to be about his Mormon upbringing. But it wasn't that, really. It was more of a stroll down memory lane. Turns out we had pretty similar experiences, and that brought back a lot of memories about my own childhood ( Read more... )

I fell off the LJ planet for, like, 6 months. So long, in fact, that I forgot my username ( Read more... )

I am tired today. I was tired yesterday, too, but I had a pumpkin spice latte in the morning so was able to get through the day. This morning, no coffee. I am thinking if I am to cut out coffee, I need to add in exercise. Why cut out coffee, you ask?

I accepted a position this morning as Assistant Director of Development for this school. Only after I turned down a previously accepted offer as Director of Development for this organization. That call was a bit awkward, but I am happy with my decision. It not only means more money and more vacation time (7 WEEKS!), it means I'll gain valuable ( Read more... )

I have a job interview and every time I begin a new job search the same questions come up in my head and make me a nervous wreck ( Read more... )

I see P on AIM every so often and I rarely resist the urge to type a note. It goes nowhere, really, and the banalities we share frustrate me to a point where I try and goad him into an arguement or pissing contest or both. Out of sheer frustration, I think. Some anger, too, probably. The range and exact pattern of emotions I go through in two ( Read more... )

The following are a series of e-mails exchanged between myself and my friend Carlos in the wee hours of the morning. As originally seen on MySpace (though this blog will not be posted there).

Carlos:

Myspace pals and/or buddies,

Hi. First of all, I just want to say to those of you that I do not contact (rather, post comments or send messages to) ( Read more... )
