Wind Blew
It's difficult for me to see how attached to possibility I became in less than a week of not really knowing Wind. Last night sealed the non-deal. I had become tired of my own shenannigans around his lack of response so I wrote a text (he specified text as a good method at one point) asking if we were on the same page and how I also understand ( Read more... ) -
Not Important. Except it is.
I made a connection with a guy I'll call Wind on Saturday. It started out really nice and easy, very direct. We emailed a few times and now I fear I've scared him off. I believe I'm being illogical about this. I emailed him Sunday evening, and it's Tuesday mid-day. But I'm worried about it to the extent that I'm finding it difficult to get ( Read more... ) -
Gettin' Shit Done
It's a real fucking challenge. I've struggled with this most of my life and have only recently be given the impression that not everyone has this experience. (This is where I insert one of those internet meme faces that is surprised like it just saw a squirrel quoting Plato to an octopus.)
This is what I know about when it's hard to get shit done:- ( Read more... )

Into The Bag
When I was quite young, I had that idea that people talk about kids having: it can't happen to me. I remember the day I lost that illusion. I was probably 6. Dad had taken me to gymnastics practice and while I waited with him for my class to be called, we did what me and my dad did: I did a handstand on his feet, he grabbed mine and then he ( Read more... ) -
Slide By Sliders
Eating on the road is an indelicate business not for the faint of tum. Knowing this, before we left I ate a lot of salads, foreseeing the fact that it would be some time before seeing good old rabbit food again. Yesterday put that foresight to the test.
The first eatery out of the hotel was McDonalds owned. I had a quesadilla which was so bad I ( Read more... ) -
Loam
I was in first grade (about 7 for you German folk, but I was old for my grade) and for whatever reason we had some presentation on loam. Yeah, dirt. I dunno... they seemed to think that for country kids this was a good plan and in fact, I still remember loam to this day. Obviously. Well, I remember that after the presentation we were to go back ( Read more... ) -
Cultural Call on Ettiquette
A man is asking on a social site why he can't find a woman to play with. He and I don't know each other but we have mutual friends which is how I got to his post. I respond in depth about reasons I would find not to play with him based on reading his question. Hopefully I've been tactful but how tactfully can one say "I tend not to go with ( Read more... ) -
I Has The Guilt
How does one support her relationship while doing something that the other person feels negatively about? How does one support herself with positive feelings, while remaining concerned and supportive of her partner in such a situation? -
Just Complaining
I'm waiting for a feeling of normalcy to return to me. In some ways my home feels foreign to me, like someplace I used to feel right. I think the cold has something to do with that. I don't want to live with cold at all. I don't feel I can take up my whole space in the cold. To that end, Clover helped me fix up the swamp cooler yesterday, and ( Read more... )
