emotional
My period started tonight, my friend is having her second miscarriage in six months, my other friend's dog was shot by a sheriff yesterday, I watched a heartbreakingly sweet video about a girl with a prosthetic leg receiving an American Girl doll with a prosthetic leg, and then I watched a video with kids telling about baby Jesus (which was ( Read more... ) -
confessions
I don't really like bacon that much, and I don't really "get" dance as an art. -
kitttttttieeeeeeee
My poor husband has been listening to me whine about wanting a cat for almost three years now. Seriously, I'm annoying. We agreed it would not be a good idea to get another cat after my sweet kitty died, because 1) we were too busy to break in a new pet 2) kitties are not good for babies. But I have never in my life been this long without a cat. My ( Read more... ) -
Girly
I heard about Birchbox last fall, so when I got a Visa gift card last month, I knew I was going to give it a try. It's only $10/month, and it is available on a month-by-month basis as well as a yearly subscription.
I got my first box today. I'm freaking out!

loss and moving on?
I received a message in my school email inbox this morning informing me that I had too many messages. I need to delete some data before Friday, November 18th to avoid my email account being inoperable. The librarian was talking about a similar email, so I'm guessing it was a mass email sent out to everyone or pretty close to everyone ( Read more... ) -
meandering
the dark parts of my heart are restless for words. beautiful, bittersweet, wonder-filled words. there is an urgency to sink in, quickly and completely lost, then seek the way back out. there is an alternate universe and i can see the seams which keep it from me. -
Readers: Help!
Has anyone ever read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami? I am involved with a small book-club (five or six of us in all), and we recently elected this one to read. I think I may be the only one who finished it, and probably the only one who enjoyed it.
I want to hear the opinions of anyone who has read it. Did you love it? Hate it? Meh? Why did ( Read more... ) -
Miscellaneous items about myself (an ongoing list)
1. I do not like to talk on the phone. I especially don't like to remain on the phone when we have literally nothing to say.* Holding the hot phone near my head listening to silence while thinking about everything else I could be doing makes my blood pressure rise exponentially. I also find it annoying when someone calls me on the way to ( Read more... ) -
entry numero uno
I have strange, vivid, wacko dreams. Sometimes I write fragments of stories or poetry. Often I just need to pour my thoughts into words and keep them safely contained within the confines of LiveJournal.
This is a fresh start for me here. Maybe you will join me.
