I didn't remember writing in Livejournal after moving to Portland.  I thought for sure that'd stopped before the move.  I guess there was a fair amount of overlap.

It's so strange seeing all these ideas in these old posts.  I recognize them in my head now, they're not all that different, just... smaller.  More chaotic.  Like looking at a tiny ( Read more... )

 If I were an atom, I would not recognize my entire amino acid.  I would hold on to a few electrons per my charge, and stick around to complete the molecule.  I would not know what rules the molecule followed, what it thought, produced, or that it was even a whole thing that was more than the sum of its parts - an amino acid.  I am holding on to my ( Read more... )

So I'd like to start an open discussion about polyamory, or open relationships in general.  For anyone who reads this and is somehow not aware, my girlfriend Mia and I are in a polyamorous relationship.  To clarify, polyamory is to 'open relationship' as square is to rectangle.  It doesn't mean we just go fuck other people, we're not 'swingers'.  ( Read more... )

It's true, I do.  What I mean is... I don't feel like I'm on vacation, or I'm just visiting.  I feel like I live here now - and I keep accidentally typing 'love' in place of 'live', which is not inappropriate.  It's a really cool city.  I feel very safe here, very comfortable - much like I felt right at home my first time on UNL campus when I ( Read more... )

So the move has begun, and I'm now sitting on the deck at my aunt and uncle's house in Glenwood Springs, CO, everything I own is in my car, and I'm homeless!  Woo ( Read more... )

What the hell ever happened to the straight up healing power of rock 'n' roll?  That's what's wrong with bands today.  They all whine about bullshit.  Back in the day, you had real bands making songs about how EVERY fucking problem in the world could be solved with rock.  It's like they genuinely believed that we should just mount Humvee's with ( Read more... )
