The earth is turning its back to the sun in the southeastern US.

So here it comes... friday is the big day. I am going back to Carolina to spend the day with my Mom and Gran. Came up this past weekend for a joint birthday celebration for my aunt and I. It was a good time, not nearly as traumatic as I expected. Actually had a real talk with my girl cousin, and engaged in a genuine way with her kids. I'm ( Read more... )

I am coming back!! I'm coming to portland, to see my friends there and get to know that city, then I will go my favorite city of all time, san francisco, then to A-town, to get my belongings and my little car and to see M and have mini-adventures, visit my family briefly, especially my gran, and then to get ready for the next adventure!! I can't ( Read more... )

I am so over the real world. Antioch did not equip me to deal with this. It made it harder. I forgot how homophobic people are. And how little people step up to be allies. I'm so over it. I want to insulate myself in a little queer radical bubble. I know I'm crazy and working on it, but I will not deal with people's bull shit. Maybe it's time ( Read more... )

I'll put grad school off, for a year, forever- Ill just live. I think I will be alone forever, or I could just pick. Or I shouldn't want any of that mess to build my life around anyway.

I saw an eagle ray yesterday- dark blue, white spots,3 or 4 feet wide. I swam above it for a while. It was the most amazing thing I have seen in the ocean yet!

Supposing "supposed to" is true, what can happen if you miss a supposed to? What does it mean to brave the possibility of making the wrong life decision? If I choose to forego the chance of being with the person I am supposed to be with, what can happen? My heart is my own. My direction is my own ( Read more... )

Yah for the last year of my 20s. It has been real good. Solid. People have been so kind, I'm in awe. A brownie with candles and the song as we were wrapping up harvest, a trip to the beach (one I've never been to), dumpstered bread, dinner made by these wonderful people- handmade raviolis, some of the sweetest pineapple ever, swam with sea ( Read more... )
