I is scared. I is unhappy. I needs to do something. I say fuck grammar in its face!
I hooped for the first time in...oh, I dunno, months? :( I have fallen so behind myself in a dreadful plateau. :(((((

Excerpts of Letters
I have a long distance lover again so, naturally, now I have the desire and inspiration to write. I'm so predictable. I'm the opposite of Scott-- he was joking about how he only really writes when there isn't a woman around, so that, after six months of self-reflective absence, the first entry in his journal often begins in some permutation of "So ( Read more... ) -

For the none of you on this LJ who have watched House on a regular basis, a recurring muted joke on the show was the suggestion that a patient has Lupus, which, apparently, is an umbrella name for a series of auto-immune diseases that can affect almost everything on your body. They must have suggested that disease about twenty times in the series ( Read more... ) -

The good news is a couple hours after the last desperate post I made, I spoke to my great-grandmother and she calmed me down. "Please, honey, forgive your mother, she's extremely nervous and is just trying to take care of me and hold the home together; and really, she had to go work at the church, you know how God comes before all; and I know very ( Read more... ) -

Coming home from work has it's many relaxing pleasures, including spending time to hoop, communing with my neighbors, playing fetch with my cat, and having sex with my husband.
I think something that easily tops all except one of those (for about five minutes, anyways), is getting on LJ and seeing the pixelated evidence of the most wonderful people ( Read more... ) -
Insomnia
My husband is sleeping blissfully in our bed while I commune with the computer screen. I look over my shoulder every now and then to glance at him. I love watching him sleep--I think he's the only person I know who sleeps with a nearly perpetual smile on his face, though right now his mouth is parted ever so slightly and he's grinding his teeth. He ( Read more... ) -

A couple days ago I woke up to the realization that I've been battling a mild depression since Fuente. I greeted the day noticing the all-too-familiar symptoms -- random insomnia, fatigue throughout the day, disinterest in work, and a general negative outlook when in reality nothing is wrong. Even Shoghi, with his infinite good cheer and ( Read more... ) -
And death circles closer still...
Apparently, my biological grandfather is dying of prostate cancer. My mother wants to go to Guatemala to pay her respects and say final words to him so in post-pater-death she won't suffocate with guilt. My mother and her father are not close by any means. He is a lecherous womanizer with many children from many women who did little to support my ( Read more... )
