When M and I started dating (so many years ago), I learned very quickly that a huge part of his life consisted of all things technology. That's not to say that he's just your average geeky mac fanboy, although that's certainly an aspect of his personality; he just has an inherent sense for how things work and, more importantly, how things will ( Read more... )

I am in an incredibly negative place right now, but at least I am aware. I'm pretending that it is a good thing that I am aware, but who knows ( Read more... )

I stayed home today. I have a sore throat and a throbbing headache and rest seemed necessary when the alarm went off at 5:45am. Made the requisite phone calls and reassurances. Work will be done, by and by, but rest seems important at the moment ( Read more... )

One of my shoulders really hurts. I guess it's tired of holding everything up ( Read more... )

1. My new thing for 2008: Week Two took place on Sunday. I auditioned for the Vagina Monologues. Unlike almost all of the other women auditioning, I did not read the monologue about dildos. Sixty-five women tried out for only fifteen parts. I did well, and made people laugh and smile, but I was not cast. I'm trying to decide if I will be bitter or ( Read more... )

I've been going through something, but I'm not quite sure what. Perhaps there is something about being 26 that suits me, or perhaps I'm just coming into myself, but I've been living my life with some force lately. Whatever it is, I like my new-found drive and confidence ( Read more... )
