Bohemia.
I have a few personal rules, the greatest of which is this: Decide who you are, then become it. It's a really simple statement with large implications. I've said this to people and seen the confused look on their faces. But who you are affects what you do, how you interact, and what the world becomes. I truly believe it. And I'm really good at ( Read more... ) -
yeah, it's a spewing, violent, angry post - this time about work.
I have been a freelancer for about 8 years now. I have been the president, CEO, accountant, creative director, and janitor of my own business ( Read more... ) -
I've been gaming again.
Not LARPing. Table topping. I'm beta testing a game that Chris is revising from an old system he's had, and we're testing it and coming up with better and improved ways to game that bring authenticity into the realm of gaming. It's something we've done for years, and it's also something that makes the game stakes higher, because you get emotionally ( Read more... ) -
Looking back. And now forward
It's funny how looking at what I posted a month ago totally doesn't seem relevant. Chris was able to fix our dryer. So that problem was solved. The bills are still there, but I suppose that they always will be ( Read more... ) -
Trimming the Fat
We have had a ton of bills hit us like a ton of bricks, and it's just not getting better. I'm trying to make headway, but it seems like every time I dream of getting ahead we only get further behind ( Read more... ) -
Good Grief. RIP Em.
My best friend from high school (the ONLY girl worth being friends with at that time) died this morning of a drug overdose. She had a crappy husband, and he had a drug and alcohol problem. I'm not the only one thinking that he made her overdose. THAT and a post from him on her facebook page where he threatened to beat people up - in typical "I'm ( Read more... ) -
Aaack...and other things.
Toured Aria's magnet school. No, it's not the good one. Why? Because I'm not apparently savvy or insane enough to camp out to get her into the good school. I would have happily choked other soccer moms in order to get her into it, but waiting in line...well, let's just say that that wasn't even ABLE to happen because the good city of Chattanooga ( Read more... ) -
Midnight Monologue
I've lost two of my best friends in one year. One to death, and the other to...well, I'm still not sure. It's sad. It's pointless, and sometimes in the dead of night it's painfully obvious that I don't have anyone to talk to ( Read more... ) -
Awkward, Fat Troubles, and the Disney Weekend.
let's see...today has been a day of inappropriate thoughts. Not just the sexy ones either. I'm talkin' the ones that make me cringe after I say them. Some days are just like that ( Read more... ) -
Great Googley Moogley What A Week
I've had a rough week. Went through God knows how many tornado warnings (three? five? I've lost count.) I feel so fortunate to have power, internet, cable...so many around here do not. We were literally less than .25 miles from Hamilton Place when THE cloud was funneling over. There was hail and debris in the cloud, and I've never seen anything ( Read more... )
