I love everything about this articleI've been reflecting on why it's been so difficult for me to romantically connect with people over the years. I don't have a good elevator speech, so bars and big gatherings usually aren't the best mediums for me to express myself (the awkwardness is _part_ of my charm!). The Reaction Formation is a terrible ( Read more... )

It's been over a year since I started experiencing the weird symptoms. First was the dizziness and heart palpitations. In late February, the right-sided headache started, following shortly by the right-sided eye pressure, right hand and right food tingling/weakness.

I decided a few days ago to start writing more. Yes, I know I say that every year, but my current options for blogging are overwhelming. Lately I've been posting mini-updates to Facebook, which I am growing increasingly less fond of by the day.

After a quick breakfast at Starbucks in Half Moon Bay, I continued north towards San Francisco. I took a short break to take photos at Ocean Beach and ended up at the Cliff House and Sutro ( Read more... )

I eventually exhausted myself worrying about animals in the campground enough to fall asleep but was abruptly awakened by car doors slamming by my neighbors getting an early start to the day. I did the morning thing and was on the road early because the campground had no showers. The fog looming over the mountains with the sun occasionally breaking ( Read more... )

As I do every morning, I awoke around 7am. There was a brief moment reminiscent of RIT weekends where I had forgotten where I had gone to sleep, sans the dehydration.  A strange sound permeated the tent that I was not used to hearing so early: silence. I laid in my cocoon of blankets and sleeping bag for a few moments, preparing myself for the day ( Read more... )

Today marked the first day of a 2-week, multi-city, off-season adventure. I originally had planned on attending a cruise with Phil in the Caribbean, however for many reasons, the trip did not pan out. This left me with a week of scheduled vacation time to burn. It could not have come at a better time, as I was beginning to burn out at work and San ( Read more... )
