I got into the graduate school I applied to.  Do I want to go?

I'm leaving for the Philippines in one week.  I'll be gone for three months.

I have a boy in my life who I really, really like.  Do I let him go?

 Tonight I went to Walgreens to go get my passport photo taken.  I went into the photo department and the person working was clearly not all that jazzed to be part of the Walgreens team, but was super nice to me.  I don't know to explain how she could be down on her job but friendly, but I feel like I do it all the time.

My bookstore retail life ( Read more... )

I'm essentially fucked right now.  I'm quitting my job in four weeks and don't have anything lined up afterwards, even though I am searching.  I know that I want to be in graduate school studying children's literature by the time I turn 26, but for the year and a half until that happens?  I don't know ( Read more... )

I am grateful for the worries I have.  I am worried about how people will fare with social situations.  I am worried about what will happen if I continue seeing two guys at once.  I am worried how a friend of mine will deal with his alcoholism.  I am worried about how I will get a new job after I quit my current one.  I am worried about moving.  I ( Read more... )

I'll accept it--I'm a book snob. I'm pretty accepting, even though I will be weirded out that you read Po Bronson or are way into spirituality books (outside of the Tao of Pooh, although if you're reading the Tao De Ching that's cool). There are a few definite no's. For instance, if you are a fan of Doreen Virtue, or if you like Milan Kundera' ( Read more... )

A guy came into the bookstore today who was blond and not too tall, and who was wearing glasses and a beanie. I think I started hyperventilating, because there he was, asking about children's books because he needed to purchase some for an anonymous Christmas gift to a nine-year-old boy. I think this was the first time ever I've been happy to be ( Read more... )

I had a strange, vivid dream last night. I was walking through some forest-type area when I came across a huge snake with tiny feet, much like you would imagine a snake would look before they evolved to what they are now. Its head was huge, its nostrils flaring, and it was still. It was in the middle of my path, and instead of jumping over it, I ( Read more... )

I'm starting to notice patterns, at least with men. I think they will fix everything, set things up and take care of me, and make me feel happy, not sad. I would be building a man up to be my entire world ( Read more... )

 I met a man about one week ago, and ever since, my head has been swirling with crazy thoughts.  What about this, and that?  Distance versus gain, silly nothings and quiet blushing.  The feeling of hair in hands, the feeling of actual hands, the shape of fingers.  Words enunciated and whispered, moments in loud settings, the word goodbye.  I've ( Read more... )

Since I'm really fabulous like this, I must say this guy has the hottest silhouette I've seen in a while, as I am a silhouette aficionado.  This usually means I fall in love with people from the back, and am instantly horrified when I see the front. http
