I wish more people still used LJ.  I like the format, and nobody is filling the void that this thing does ( Read more... )

While not tremendously impressive to most of you, I'm sure, I am proud to announce that I read and completed 12 books this year, not counting some miscellaneous short stuff.  I've had more productive reading years, but I've also had much less productive reading years.  I'll take it.  Short reviews follow.

1.  Ender's GameDecent science fiction.  I ( Read more... )

In the space of a few months, one of my closest friends over the last ten years and one of my all-time favorite musicians both came out as transgendered.  It's strange that they'd happen so closely to one another, but it's been a good thing.  It helps a little bit in my understanding of each case to have another to compare it to.  As a punk and a ( Read more... )

I have no way to contact you Matt Guiggey, so I'm posting in the medium that seems to get through to you.  I had no idea my dead and stagnant livejournal was a blip on google's radar.  However, I do take it seriously, so I deleted the earlier post, as per your request, but I wanted to clarify that post a little bit.  It was never intended to be ( Read more... )

I still devote a lot of time and energy into obsessing about my childhood.  It was slanted:  My home life was amazing with zero trauma, but my social-life was a vacuum.  There may have been no singular moments of serious trauma, like far too many people have had to carry around with them, but there was a slow steady crushing like somebody stacking ( Read more... )

 I was unaware that my girlfriend checked my LiveJournal for updates, but today she asked me why I don't post anymore.  It hadn't occurred to me that I'd ever actually stopped.  On the contrary, it's just been a long time since I've had something to say that I felt needed saying.  Or perhaps more accurately, it's been a long time since I've had ( Read more... )

2010: THE RECAP!

January:

I rode my bike in the snow. Had some combination of failed and successful one-night stands.

February:

I didn't celebrate valentines day.

March:

I have no recollection of this.

April:

I remembered not to believe anything I read on the internet for one full day. Dated a girl with a cat.

May:

I got in trouble for taking a coupon ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a while. The longer I go without posting, the harder it gets to do so. I've written on that subject before. Essentially, it becomes daunting. If I neglect to post about hugely important events of my life, it seems silly to write about the little things. Sometimes the small things don't even make sense without pages of ( Read more... )

I just realized that when I go to Rivers Cuomo's facebook page, there is a spot where our mutual friends are listed. I have mutual friends with Rivers Fucking Cuomo. That is so fucked up.
