I have more than a little bit of a savior complex. I've known this about my self for quite a while. It shows in so many aspects of my life. My friends. My work. My relationships. Especially my relationships. I don't know why or where it comes from. Maybe I'm just naturally compassionate and empathetic. Maybe it's because I was raised ( Read more... )

Nope, wrong again. It really was as bad as I thought it was. Or is. Whatever.

Fuck it.

Yeah, okay. So maybe it wasn't really as bad as I thought it was after all.

It's been forever since I've been to a club. I need to dance. I need to get out and do something about that very soon.

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, the new BBC series (being aired here on BBC America) Jekyll is brilliant!! And I do not say this lightly. If you haven't seen it yet, you must. It is so well done, on every level that my mind is boggling. BBC America shows it on Saturdays, and is in fact running a marathon of the first 5 episodes today ( Read more... )

I am practically back to full health. For those who haven't been in close touch, it took me a couple of months to recover from the mono I got in February, but I got back to feeling myself in May.
