It's odd feeling proud to be American. Over the past few years I've visited several countries overseas and would feel an urge to say I'm Canadian rather than admit I lived in the states. The disappointment from foreigners was a palpable force.

I was in Prague when a Switzerland election was occuring. I knew this because there was a couple from ( Read more... )

So I keep posting and deleting. I'm not fond of drama, and I'm not the type of person to really talk about how I feel. But honestly, kind of hurts to be told that to save someone a bit of discomfort (which he didn't feel and apparently I don't rate enough to have asked him) I was pointedly not invited to a place I thought I had friends.  I suppose ( Read more... )

So exactly how many times should I need to go to the person in the cubicle next to me and say "Remember how we discussed how much I *hate* your music...?" before I get to tear her speakers out of her computer?

There are some aspects of my life that I feel very lucky about right now. I have wonderful friends. Larry has been really great through all of my flakiness and stuff (break ups being as hard as they are, I'm grateful he's not making it more difficult). One of the people I keep in touch with in Philly has offered up his support in ways I never would ( Read more... )

So one of the first things I do when I come into work is build a playlist to listen to while I get to work. Today it started out with:

I miss you - Incubus, Almost Easy - Avenged Sevenfold , Pets - Porno for Pyros, You’re Gonna go Far - The Offspring,  Du Hast - Rammstein , Drive - Assemblage 23, Coming Undone - Korn, Hurt - Johnny Cash, Happiness ( Read more... )

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't said anything about what's going on with Larry and I in any public manner. I thought about it, and I'm still not going to do that ( Read more... )

I love my friends... this does not mean I will allow them to perform  surgery on my  hand. :P Thinking about taking some type of artsy class with a few Logical Leesas, Jooolies and Darkkris'. I like pretending that I can do art stuff.

I need more stuff to read... what are you reading that is good?

I posted this years ago, was during the Lord of the Rings craze and some people posted very secret diaries for some of the characters... I decided to do my own take.

I'm also somewhat tempted to do the V.secret diaries of some of my friends... in a loving way! of course.

Recently I've been communicating with someone I knew back in Philly. We didn't part on the best of terms and for a long time I would have sworn that we would never be friends again. He's turned into a really great guy, married with two children. It makes me wonder about some of the other people I used to hang out with ALL the time.

There was a ( Read more... )

Next to find a frooffy pink sweater to put on him... I DID warn him to stop the baby stuff.
