I absolutely positively love the sound of rain outside my window. It's as if the entire earth is getting a bath (even though I'm pretty sure it's not raining everywhere at the moment). Everything feels cool and crisp and clean. I hope it rains all weekend long, when I have the time to relax and enjoy it.

Well, that's for damn sure!

As usual, the moment the plane landed at John Wayne Int'l, I was ready to be back in Seattle.

Last night, as we were driving back to my mom's house from my aunt's house (where everyone had gathered for Xmas Eve), my younger brother asked me, "Did you have a good Xmas Eve?" My reply? "It was the same as always." He asked ( Read more... )

It's that time again, time to make the trip back to Hellifornia for the holidaze. I haven't been "home" in 18 months. I decided Spanxgiving would be the more manageable. No fucking way I'd spend Xxxmas with my FoO (Family of Origin), although, in a way, I am, since my mom will be coming to visit me then. That's a whole other blog post, though. Back ( Read more... )

When we spin in circles, we get dizzy. Does that logic apply to doing mental and emotional circles in my brain? If so, it's a wonder I'm not vomiting from motion sickness.

I think Summer may actually be over and Fall is upon us. Finally.

When I first announced my decision to move to Seattle to all my So Cal friends and family, the same question came up over and over and over again: Why would you leave the sunshine and the heat for clouds and rain and cold???

I don't know. Is "Because I like clouds and rain and cold,"  ( Read more... )

I seem to be incapable of quantifying anymore the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone. I understand the difference between saying, "I love you," to my mom vs. a lover. But what's the difference between saying, "I love you," and "I'm in love with you," when it's said to the same person?

I used to know what being "in love ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a while. And it's not because I haven't had anything to write about. Certainly not. It's more that I've had too much to write about, and have been afraid that, were I to crack open that dam, I would lose control and flood the spillway.

Anyway ...

Money, money, money. That's always good news. And I don't even live extravagantly. ( Read more... )

I'm beginning to get the feeling that most people go through their lives being lied to the majority of the time. And the reason I'm coming to this conclusion is because, after being asked a question and giving an honest answer, I am oftentimes spurned, and treated like the biggest bitch to have ever taken a breath in the history of the universe.

It's really important that you never eat corn-on-the-cob when you're drunk because you end up accidentally dripping butter all over your dog's head and then you have to rinse his ears in the bathroom sink 'cause the smell of drawn butter is making you hungry.

It's all quite horrifying.
