Thanks to my sister, I now have tickets to see Miley Cyrus in concert in March--so excited! At one point, I never thought I would care about her, but lately, don't laugh, I've been a little obsessed with her. She has an amazing voice, and I actually like her songs and many of the views she's shared publicly. And the incessant slut shaming after the ( Read more... )

Hello, Friends! I wonder who is out there in LJ land these days. I still read my friends list, though posts have dwindled significantly, and I haven't updated in pretty much forever. It is hard to find time to blog these days, when the one or two liners of facebook are so easily accessible. But I do miss it, and I miss reading the thoughts and ( Read more... )

It's been so long since I've updated my livejournal, that I just realized I've neglected to mention a huge life event of the last 7ish months. I fell in love! OK Cupid served me well again by introducing me to Graeme. He's a wonderful, passionate man, and we get along fabulously. We even live together now, and so far things are going great. Here is ( Read more... )

Hello livejournal! I still exist, I'm nearly finished with my master of social work degree, and I just went to Africa. Life is good! I finished almost all of my degree requirements and graduated on July 1, and then hopped a plane to South Africa and Namibia for my final elective requirement. All I have left is to write a few reflection papers, and ( Read more... )

I'm slowly adjusting to my new home and my new single status. Sometimes, I feel pretty good. I have almost everything unpacked, and have put up decorations in my room. The space feels very "me" now, and I love having having my own space and bed again. Perhaps I'm weird in this matter, since I more often hear people talk about how they hate sleeping ( Read more... )

I'm preparing to move in a week, and while packing and transporting heavy boxes and furniture is never a fun task, I am excited about my new place and new roommate. I love sharing old houses with one or more roommates, so it's nice to return to that kind of living arrangement ( Read more... )

Happy 4th to everyone who celebrates it! Ben and I went to a barbecue at my parents that was really nice, and now I'm settling into an overnight shift at work. No fireworks for me this year, but I don't really mind. Work has been rather chaotic so far tonight, though--a crisis happened today with one of the clients. Thankfully it didn't happen on ( Read more... )

Happy Pride! I figured that since I'm finally done with classes and I'm home from Pride festivities, I can finally sit down and post to my poor, neglected journal ( Read more... )

I spent the past 5 days immersed in Creating Change, the annual LGBTQ conference put on by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. I have a lot to process, and I'm afraid if I don't write it down right away, I might forget it like a dream upon waking. Writing also usually helps me process stuff, so I'm going to attempt to explore and describe my ( Read more... )

I'm 28 now. Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday on Facebook, Livejournal, in person, etc. I had a small and lovely gathering of people over on Saturday to do a "Host a Mystery" game, which was lots of fun. I was kind of disappointed that a couple of people didn't show up, but we made it work and I really enjoyed spending time with the ( Read more... )
