I think the number one thing wrong with me is that I have absolutely no real self confidence. I do have to qualify that as no "real" self confidence, because I can fake it in the right circumstances. It's pretty much a given that I won't go anywhere without friends, because with them, I can feed off of their energy and act much cooler than I really ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure I'm incapable of actually writing if I'm in a good mood. I've sat down like ten times in the past few months, ready to type out a thousand words or so about how awesome life is, but it usually ends up being a paragraph or so that gets so boring I just delete it and tweet something stupid instead. I guess if any of you follow me in ( Read more... )

I've been trying to write a new blog for close to a month now, but never really found much motivation to do so.  Looking back at the lack of interest in the last post kind of made me hesitant to bother, yet again, despite a handful of people specifically telling me that they read every post and enjoy my writing (and I thank you for that).  I guess ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think my iPod is trying to tell me something.  I couldn't count how many times I've heard the same song multiple days in a row, even though I'm shuffling through a shade over 10,000 songs.  When I keep hearing the same song, I usually tend to take notice of the song and try to see if it applies to life in some way.  A few weeks ago, on ( Read more... )

Ironic, I am sitting down to write my blog that I promised would be about how frustrated I am on the one night that I am, for reasons unknown, not feeling particularly frustrated.  I guess being in the middle of a 3 day weekend (also ironically on a Tuesday), helps relieve the stress a bit.  Still, I know that this frustration lies within me, so ( Read more... )

So lying in bed just now, not being able to sleep, for some reason, random thoughts started running through my mind. I think it was the precursor to dreams, as my mind was ready to fall asleep, but my body needed more time. I tend to have crazy visuals just before I actually fall asleep, and if anything interrupts, I realize that I've been awake ( Read more... )

Tonight in my training class, we did this kind of game where we answered three questions about ourselves, and put each answer on a separate post-it and put them on the wall. Then we each drew one off the wall and read it and everyone tried to guess who wrote it. It was the kind of party game that I think would be great while drinking (and I'm sure ( Read more... )

So I keep trying to write a blog based on stuff that's been happening in my life, but it all ends up sounding super boring.  It's just a list of stuff that anyone who would read this would already know. In short, just the topics I've been writing and deleting: My birthday was awesome, I got a sweet new job, and every time I get a chance to do ( Read more... )

I think the turtles were reading my blog. I swear, since the day after I mentioned seeing turtles every time I drive to work, I haven't seen a single turtle on the road. That's an observation, I guess. You know, really, all of my blogs are observational in some form, so constantly titling them as being “observations” is really no more ( Read more... )

I have been randomly scribbling down notes, as I was doing before, but this time I actually remembered my notes, so I have a clearer idea of what I was thinking. Here are a few more observations I've made, mostly just stream-of-consciousness rambling, so it probably won't be structured as well as my blogs usually are ( Read more... )
