I had a well needed epiphany. I'm not sure what sparked it, perhaps the shattering of my subjectivity (sorry for the shamelessly pendantic inside joke), perhaps not. For far too long I've devoted my anxieties to things beyond the boundaries of my control. "Why can't my ex and I have a friendship?" Or, Why can't a like a guy who seems such an ( Read more... )

Ok, so I waited too long to post this with any clarity. But since clarity isn't often an attribute of LJ posts, I'll continue in the spirit of the medium. I had a lot of fun on Friday, drinks at a mexican place, and then even more drinks. And then I got followed into the bathroom (a single-person bathroom, mind) by a fellow I sort of know. And ( Read more... )

Today was sexual assault day. I'll have to elaborate later, but this might make me update. :P

I've been convinced to update this thing with something more substantial. But I'm still laughing at the results of this quiz.

What a day. I went to the Emory (gay) Valentine's Ball. Thus begins the national "we hate being single" day of ironic celebration. Things happened. I met a smart, cute, British (!!) guy who talked about politics with me for over an hour. Common sense dictates that I should've gotten his number, but I didn't. Apparently, I lack common sense.

I'm drinking vodka and listening to Sarah Mclachlan. While doing any one of these things probably won't send me into paroxysms of melancholy, I've become rather certain that doing both of them will. I could begin to pose the usual existential hum-drum of "What do I really, really want?" or "What is it that will alleviate X or Y, bringing me Z?" ( Read more... )

I saw "M". We ran across each other on campus. It was a fairly narrow avenue: there was nowhere for either of us to run. He smiled and waived at me. He had to do that. Cynicism welled up within me...how could he smile at me? How could he grin it me after the torturous severance of our short-lived relationship? For all of my supposed eloquence ( Read more... )

It does feel like a long damn weekend. It has been fair, I suppose. I went to a cabaret show at Metro on Friday. The club was rather quiet, but I saw a few familiar faces and didn't have a bad time of it. Saturday was fairly hum-drum, though I did allow myself one more episode of my new favorite dead TV series: Freaks and Geeks ( Read more... )

As usual, it's going to take me a while to get where I want to go with this, but bear with me. I have an uncle (50) who has all but ruined himself with drugs & alcohol. He's considered an absolute disgrace by the rest of the family and he has lived with my grandparents for the past three years ( Read more... )

Ok, so back to the whole dating mess. I'm going to use some pseudonyms here, not only to seem extra cool and such, but also to protect the people in question (even though they may piss me off). As a point of general reference for those lost, Facebook is an online college connectivity site that links students in a variety of ways, from class ( Read more... )
