I'm not going to lie, I've been having a tough time lately.  I'm having a great year; I love my friends; school is tough, but I love what I'm going to do when I'm done.  There's just stupid trivial stuff that I still struggle w/ on a regular basis.  Feeling down about myself is still a big issue, and it's mostly because of the way I look.  I've ( Read more... )

Every time I'm pulled back to this site, for one reason or another, I say "Wow, it's been forever.  I swear, I'm going to try to keep it up this time," but I never do.  And every time I read my past journals, I think I sound like a self-centered, immature dipshit.  So, I'll just let this be what it is: something I barely ever check/update, but ( Read more... )

I was IMed tonight by a guy I used to talk to in a chat room about...6 years ago.  It definitely took me down memory lane.  So, then I started looking through old LJ entries to remember when I last heard from another guy I used to talk to in the same chat room.  Some - or most - of them are so embarrassing.  I started this thing when I was 17, so I ( Read more... )

Well, Maggie, our little Cocker Spaniel, hurt herself yesterday, probably something in her back, and her back legs aren't working.  My dad and I were playing around w/ her, and then she was in the front hallway, and she looked like she was going to sit down, and maybe tried to reach her head around to scratch her butt, and she yelped like I've ( Read more... )

Yesterday, after having a dream about this nerdy guy I'd fallen for kissing me (badly), I woke up w/ such a desire to be kissed and hugged.  I think I even went back to sleep to try to dream, or did dream, about trying to teach him how to kiss better.  I'm obviously admitting to my patheticness.  Oh, well.  I own the fact that I have no sex life...

I'm really not saying this to get reactions like "Oooh, I'll help you out w/ that, baby," but I'm really craving some human touch right now.  And I'm not talking about a hug from my mom, but I don't necessarily mean it in a sexual way, either...although that might not be so bad ( Read more... )

Not really, but I worked Fri, Sat, and Sun.  It's the first time I've worked three days in a row in a looong time, but it went well.

I think the Old West End Festival was pretty successful.  We were in a tent behind the Glass Pavilion, so we were outside all day on Sat. and Sun.  It was pretty darn hot, but some of those kiddies really made it worth ( Read more... )

Well, we had to put my dog down this morning.  She seemed very sore yesterday b/c I think my mom had forgotten to give he her baby aspirin for a day or two, but she's been like that before, so I was hoping she'd get better.  She ate and was able to walk around a bit, but when she finally went outside, she sat down in the snow and couldn't seem to ( Read more... )

...at myself, b/c i think i threw away my "History of Rock" notes in an exuberant cleansing of all things reminding me of all the hard work i'd just completed after my last ever round of college finals.  i'm realizing this as i'm watching a special on rockabilly, which we covered in History of Rock ( Read more... )

i haven't been on this site in FOREVER...
