Internalized Rage Is.... Dangerous?
My roommate Matt had loud bed-banging-moaning-sex with his girlfriend while I was on the phone with my mother. Of course he didn't know that... but I don't think there is a more effective way to kill a conversation when you're trying to concentrate on what you're saying while your roommate is loudly broadcasting his sexy time to the world.

Unpleasant News
I have been dealing with a mandibular bone infection for the past five years. It's been a long tough road for everyone, especially my family members who have had to deal with my grumpy butt from time to time. Recently, I have been feeling a bit more positive about the situation since I visited a doctor at the Stanford Medical Center who really made ( Read more... ) -
Living with Friends
I have always said that living with friends is a bad idea and for the most part I avoided it while I was in school... until 6 months ago ( Read more... ) -
On Death and Dying
I received news a few days ago that my cousin Stephen passed away suddenly. He was barely a year older than me and had been struggling with medical issues for a few years. He almost died two years ago when his heart stopped and the doctors couldn't figure out why. Nonetheless it was a shock for my family to hear that he had died ( Read more... ) -
Job References? Whaaat?
Since I have now graduated from college I've been on the hunt for a job. And at this point I'm not that picky. I'm really looking for a job where I can earn money and preferably save some in order to keep living in Davis. I don't want to move home. No. Not happening.
For a time I used to have two part time jobs to pay the rent. I was an office ( Read more... ) -
Hello...Blog-o-sphere?

So much that I think it's pointless to recap everything so I'll cover the major points:- I have graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts in English. (And you thought it would never happen :P).

Men n' Stuff
MEN.
They are a curious species... and I don't think I can ever say that I will understand them. I could enter into ultra-feminist mode and say that they are annoying, dumb and useless. BUT I wouldn't be telling the truth. I actually admire men. Speaking in enormous generalities, as a gender, men can see things for what they really are. As a woman ( Read more... ) -
Forgiveness-- is it always divine?
As the saying goes: "To err is human and to forgive is divine."
Now I don't think I'm super-human or derive my origins from Mount Olympus (although Zeus was a horny bastard)... but I think is possible for most us humans to forgive past wrongs. Initially we are dragged down by the temptation to 'get even' or to hold a grudge. It's much easier to ( Read more... ) -
My knowledge of LOVE and other mushy stuff
I have been compiling what I know about this thing we call LOVE. Here's what I know:
It can be the light, fairy-tail feeling which accompanies the on-set of interest and infatuation with the other person. But reality sets in and you start to notice the issues and/or difficulties. This isn't always a bad thing. When a relationship is on solid ground ( Read more... ) -
ARG!
So after that long post about the end of my relationship I believed that I let out a huge portion of my feelings concerning the situation. I have felt like I have been in a good head-space for the past two weeks. Yes, I do deal with the occasional moment of sadness and hurt but I let it pass and I strive to move on to the next moment. I fully ( Read more... )
