Happy Birthday to Me! YAY! Even though it's a dumb birthday (as in, nothing good to do in this country... HELLO CANANDA!), it really got me thinking about life in general. If sappy stuff isn't your cup of tea, I'd suggest you stop reading now!

First, a recap of the awesomeness that was my birthday. Yes, I know it lasted about a billion (or, well, ( Read more... )

I was doing so well there with the normal updating... and then I wasn't. Oops!! Anyway, today was just one of those days, so I felt like getting some stuff off my chest. It's a little random, bear with me.

*Aside from today being frustrating, life is really very good. My friends are wonderful as usual... I do feel really bad that I haven't been ( Read more... )

So I was reading my lit book today and came across this quote that describes the kinds of attachments (family/romantic/friendships) people make:

"We choose someone who seems to cope with the world better than we do. Knowing such a person is 'there for us,' in case of emergency, helps us feel safe and secure. The need strikes especially hard when ( Read more... )

There's that saying that goes, "It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all." Well, I think it's BULLSHIT! No, I don't mean that the absence of love is somehow better than love. I really just don't think you can ever "have loved and lost ( Read more... )

I know I'm not the first to discover it, and I'm sure I won't be the last, but I felt like I needed to discuss my newest epiphany. Okay, maybe "epiphany" is a strong word, but still. I'm here to talk about the infamous livejournal paradox ( Read more... )

Time and time again, I am reminded how amazing my friends are. Really, I think friendship is the greatest thing in the world. It's always changing, it's always different, and it's NEVER boring. Every once and awhile, like tonight, I just have to sit and think about how much I love my friends and the part they play in my life ( Read more... )

If you asked me today what I'm going to be when I grow up (because really, I still feel like a little kid most of the time), I'll most likely tell you that I'm going to be a social worker, that I'll be working in some kind of service agency, or maybe I'll be a Rabbi or an educator or something. But if you asked me today what I WANT to do when I ( Read more... )

Obviously, I did not do a very good job of explaining myself last time, so let me try again... here's the abridged version ( Read more... )

Have you ever noticed that just one person, with just one comment, can change your mood completely? And of course, it's usually for the worse. We all have someone like that... in fact, we usually have lots of someones like that. Unfortunately, the hardest part about it is that you can't get mad at them. Why? Because they're your parents, your ( Read more... )

Once again, it's been quite some time since I've written in this. And again, still not sure if I'm going to go back to the regular update thing, but I felt like I needed to write (or post, at least) today ( Read more... )
