Ok, so I feel like that person that as soon as they start dating someone new is suddenly hanging out with their ex whom they haven't talked to in months. Whatever. So I have a new blog. But what I want to say tonight fits better with this one. In fact, it even fits with the metaphor that I just came up with on a whim. I heard this song on my ( Read more... )

I have a new blog at anotherworldcitizen.wordpress.com if you are interested. I don't really post to this one much anymore. I think I'll keep it for lyrics posts and memes and such, but the other one is going to be more spiritual and personal stuff. Check it out if that interests you. It only really has one post now.

I'm going to try to reconnect to LJ. Whenever I stop reading for a few days I always feel overwhelmed to come back. Like I missed so much I can never catch up and people (who probably don't even realize I'm lurking) will never forgive me for not showing my interest through my usual deluge of comments.

My Mom, who rocks, has ( Read more... )

So for those of you that do not know, the road trip fell through. Blythe never got her license. But I will not be thwarted so easily. Upon visiting DC in May I noticed banners for "Travel the US with Amtrak" and recalling them, I checked out the website. Turns out the US has railpasses much like Europe. While a 30-day unlimited pass is much ( Read more... )

Guilt What is yours? Explain yourself Culinary: Ice Cream
I eat way too much of it. I'd probably be 20 pounds lighter if this food didn't exist
Literary: Children's Lit I like to read Louis Sachar, or the Narnia series, or HP to cut looseAudiovisual: Desperate Housewives What can I say? I was a skeptic but now I just can't wait until next ( Read more... )

What do you do when you are overwhelmed with sadness? Do you have tricks to beat it or do you just let it wash over you? Does it depend on your energy level at the time? Sadness is powerful, and can be good, but it can be immobilizing. Thoughts?

My husband likes to watch the cooking shows, the building shows ( Read more... )
