back from the dead
I've been working like it's basically my job lately, and as a result have all but disappeared from any form of social interaction. I wish I could promise it would change soon... but I never really know these days. Also, I always get kind of antisocial in the winter - doing anything beyond what is required of me in a practical sense just seems like ( Read more... ) -
insomniac
It's a sign that it's going to be a bad day when I can't get to sleep until 6:45 a.m. and wake up at 9:30. -
ego-tripping
This made my day. How much of an ego do you have to have to title your autobiography this?
Luckily, I think the title of my planned autobiography, "Like Jesus, But More So," still has it beat. -
Q&A
Would you tell a co-worker you had corresponded with via e-mail, but had never met, about your "huge ovarian cyst"?
ETA: I am NOT the one with the ovarian cyst in this scenario, obviously! -
on the 'bitter' remarks
This is a chat I had earlier. My mom, for whatever reason, thought they were good talking points and made me promise to talk about it. I'm sure all these points have been made before, but I can't break a promise to my mom! So here ( Read more... ) -
In over my head
The insufferable beast next door has been barking for 5 hours non-stop. Yes, really.
I get to complain because my dog has never barked. We are a superior sort of family. -

gloriously imperfect
When I am talking with my friends about relationships and stuff, I tend to adopt a jokey "Oh, aren't relationships horrible, I am old and married" sort of thing because it just seems like the thing to do. Nobody really wants to hear about how great it is being married and how they should just get married already. Plus, it really isn't - by which ( Read more... ) -
head rush
I have a head cold right now, so I am generally achey, phlegm-y and irritable. I am the worst patient when it comes to things like this. If I cut myself and am bleeding all over the place, I am fairly stoic, but a minor, ongoing inconvenience? I turn into a snarling bitch after about twelve hours. -
scent of a woman
Boston and Utah were just the breath of fresh air I needed. My only regret is that I had so many familial obligations (99 year old godmother takes priority over everyone, always) that I didn't have enough time to spend with my friends. Still, though, I feel refreshed, and I got a new coffee table, bedding, and an Ipod speaker system along the way ( Read more... )
