Yay California, where I could now go and get married to a woman of my dreams, and live by the ocean. If I decide to be with a woman again someday ( Read more... )

My Friday was busy. I got out of school at 3:45ish, ran home to pick up baby stuff (for my very small visitor that is coming to hang out next week), made it south to Richmond and to Doc's new office by 5:15. An hour's worth of appointment later we had talked about setting boundaries with my mother (which I've been attempting to do for, oh, about 12 ( Read more... )

Ripped and downloaded music last night and relived many years of my life. It’s amazing how strong my feelings connected to music are, I have wrapped my whole life up in it ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm single, have been for a while now, I'm back out and looking, and the first question i felt the need to ask myself is, what am I looking for? So i started a list ( Read more... )

That special ed is not like any of ( Read more... )

Apparently Kevin had a major melt down including crying and calling my name. I think he’s sick too and that’s why he’s so not himself these days, but geez, he’s just not a cryer, and the fact that he wanted me of ( Read more... )

I haven't written anything real in here in ages. Which not only makes me come across as quite boring and flat, but it also means I don't put any real emotion into in and don't get any real advice/emotion out. Hence there's not much of a point, and I quit posting. So this time I'm pasting a little bit of my recent self analysis to see what y'all ( Read more... )

I gave myself a little talk this morning and decided if I'm going to clean out, I'm going to CLEAN OUT. My solution: to stand in the room being cleaned out, and if something does not belong in that room, to hurl it out the door and declare "you can't live in here anymore!". Then when the room is totally cleaned out, I wade through the ocean of ( Read more... )
