Three weeks ( Read more... )

It's been four months, just about. And five weeks since we last spoke. Time slips by in the same way it always does for ex-boyfriends once that final thread of connectivity is cut. Three and a half years were rendered null and void within the two months leading up to the five weeks. That's a lot of math there, all the numbers and days and formulas ( Read more... )

This is from MySpace, where I posted it the same night it happened. I was angry, ya'll. I am still angry, but also hurting all over as well. My boss sent me home a bit early today, because she said she could tell just looking at me that I was definitely none too comfortable. I feel stiff, and awkward and just... achy. It sucks. This whole situation ( Read more... )

Florida was great. Hot and humid, but still pretty great. We saw alligators and manatees in their natural habitat, and to city folk like us, that's akin to some sort of religious experience. We took lots of photos, which I posted on my Facebook last night (if you have Facebook, look me up & friend me: Denise Barkauskas ( Read more... )

FACT: I'm pretty lazy sometimes. Especially with Livejournal, it seems. So I wrote this hours & hours ago on MySpace, and then decided to copy & paste it here so all you (big losers) who don't have MySpace can still read & enjoy the document of my blatant stupidity. Don't lie, you know how much you wanted to read this ( Read more... )

I went to the Phillies games yesterday afternoon with my (now former) boss and another one of my friends from LP Starbucks. The Phillies lost, those poor bastards, but what else can you expect from a Philadelphia team? Get in the playoffs and then inevitably choke. But it was fun, I'm glad I'm still friends with all my old coworkers. I'll be ( Read more... )

In The Alchemist, there's a reason given to explain why people don't always follow their hearts and do what they believe will make them happiest... because we're afraid of disappointment, and sometimes it's easier to convince yourself of your own disinterest than to give in to your heart. Emotion is very rarely practical, and there's certainly a ( Read more... )

Britney Spears is ridiculous. Sometimes, she's so ridiculous that it honestly just pisses me off, because how can someone live in their own little world so much that they leave the house NOT WEARING PANTS? On a regular basis? Why doesn't anyone who works for her find a gentle way of suggesting some pants? Or a skirt? Anything. I do not get it, and ( Read more... )

I just copied this from a bulletin I posted on MySpace... because I'm lazy...

I finished The Deathly Hallows a few hours ago... WOW. Jason asked me "ooh are you gonna cry?" when I was telling him about the last chapter... MAYBE. The Prince's Tale certainly got me pretty close to tears. It was a really good book, and a great ending for the ( Read more... )

I think I'll see Order of the Phoenix this weekend, because I am far too tired to do so tonight. I'm also alone tonight, and Harry Potter just doesn't strike me as being much fun if you go solo on opening night. I'm re-reading The Half-Blood Prince as well, cause my dorky ass will most certainly be waiting for my copy of The Deathly Hallows July ( Read more... )
