So I've worked something like 39 hours on top of fifteen units of school the last couple of weeks, and the result is of course my being intensely over-stressed. And to make matters worse, every night I get home my feet are in such intense pain that walking on the hardwood floor is litterally like stepping on broken shards of glass. The problem ( Read more... )

Went to Point Reyes Station today with Chris and Maguire. My epiphany was that the concept of one's "home-town" should really be associated with the place a person naturally associates with their happiest memories, thus Point Reyes Sta. represents a time of my life where I underwent my most positive transition into the person I want to be. Wow, ( Read more... )

and yet there is absolutely nothing that happened today that should make me feel bad on any level. I woke up after staying up with Laura and Heather till 4:30am and went over to my brother's house to hang with my nephew -- we went for a phenominal walk at Lake Lagunitas, and then I met Heather and Laura on 4th St to take Fiona trick-or-treating.

There is nothing nothing nothing better than pumpkin curry.

It really should not be this difficult getting over someone -- the universe should set some sort of limit on the amount if time and mental energy spent on any one person and then cut the friggin cord. The major benefit of breaking up with what's-his-face is that my friendships have improved ten-fold and I, as a result, feel like a more desirable ( Read more... )

I don't think I've ever had so many nightmares in one night. I've been sleeping so badly lately, but my subconscious was truly cruel last night -- those were awful beyond anything I've experienced before. Why???

Last night I had a slumber party with Laura Brink and Heather. It was painfully fun (I say painfully because I got a headache from laughing so hard). We sang karaoke (Heather's rendition of "play that funky music white boy" took the proverbial cake), ate more junk food than I'd have thought possible, and sat in the hot tub talking about sex for a ( Read more... )

I love my sister-in-law so much sometimes that it's frankly ridiculous. I mean, we do share depths of adoration for the miracle that is my nephew (you would not believe the stuff he's doing now!!!), but it feels like we have this bizarre understanding of each other that transcends the typical dynamic between in-laws. I think it's because she is ( Read more... )

Being alone in an empty house is about the last thing in the world that I want to do right now, but here I am. When will I get over that fear? It's silly ( Read more... )
