I spent the day with Steven yesterday. We talked about going to MegaCon, but finances were an issue and so did dinner and a movie. We ended up at Red Lobster and then got tickets to see Sweeney Todd. It was playing at the dollar cinema. I have made a big deal about paying for some portion of our dates and he let me buy the movie tickets. It ( Read more... )

In the early hours of Monday morning, I decided I could no longer take it. John was treating just well enough to get what he wanted from me. He had this habit of really making an effort to show his supposed caring side to reel me back in, but would start treating me poorly when he felt secure. It all pointed to him just taking advantage of my ( Read more... )

I rarely log in here because I'm so hooked on MySpace. I blog there about my relationship woes and the joys of my daily life. I have fewer readers here, so I can be a bit more frank about some things. In theory anyway. So, I will have been in Orlando for a year at the beginning of May. This also means a year for John and I. We've gone through ( Read more... )

Due to financial issues, I have decided not to go to D*C this year. Everybody who knows me fairly well knows how bummed I am about this. I even attempted to put an eye out while giving myself a haircut (that's not in the budget either). Anyway, I have a paid membership that I am not going to use. If anybody plans on going, but has not purchased ( Read more... )

Have you ever noticed how people often forget birthdays and wedding anniversaries, but spend days dreading the anniversary of a tragedy in their lives? If it happens to be a national tragedy, then it is all over the news for us to relive. If it is more personal, then it lives in your dreams and haunts your lucid thoughts. It is almost as bad, if ( Read more... )

In recent days, I have commented to my friends and family that I have little free time and feel like I am somehow physically and mentally depleted. Boy was I right! I very recently resolved to try and have a healthier diet, because part of my problem is all the less than nutritious fare I consume on the run. Well, I guess I was a bit late. I ( Read more... )

As the saying goes, "When life hands you lemons...", I was right about the fact that things would improve. I am working through a temp agency for meager wages, but this is because I don't want to commit to a better job until I move. That's right! I am moving to Orlando at the end of April to finish up my degree at UCF. My dad owns half of a ( Read more... )

My life right now is somewhere between complete disaster and fabulous. I was fired about a week ago from my job at the 4th largest bank in the nation. Wahoo! I am trying so very hard to remain positive about things and to resist the temptation to just down every pill in my medicine cabinet. I know that things will get better. I just have to be ( Read more... )

This Sunday I actually attended church. Stop the presses! I work in the nursery of a Unitarian Universalist church every Sunday. This Sunday was a rare one. We had no children in attendance. Apparently, the visiting minister prompted many members to stay home. He was a former pastor who evidently was forced to resign because his views did ( Read more... )

Yes, it is a song, but it is also a sadness that sneaks up on you. New Orleans was one of the few places that has left it's stamp on my soul. I love my life here in Florida, but every so often I get a small reminder of the unique place I once called home. The entire summer has gone by and I have not, for the first time in 9 years, enjoyed the ( Read more... )
