Day Three - My Favorite Television Program
EPIC FAIL: I got out of order. Whoops.
One of the things that strikes me when I consider this category is how often I say that I don't watch much TV, but really I watch way more than I think. I need to work on that, I suppose. There are so many other things to do when you're not tied to a stupid screen!
My favorite show is no longer on the air: ( Read more... ) -
Day Four - My Favorite Book
I missed a few days, so I'm catching up. I've been busy, but in a very good way and I'm very happy. Just thought I'd note that, for some reason.
Anyway, this particular topic reminds me that I haven't been reading as much as I really should be. Not for the past several years, actually, which would be a bit shocking if you knew me as a kid. I was ( Read more... ) -
Day Two - My Favorite Movie
Like my favorite song, this is a tough decision. I like a lot of different kinds of movies, for different reasons, and in different times. But also like my favorite song, there's an archetypal movie: Cinderella. I love the Disney version. I tend to like movies based on that basic theme: girl has hard luck, girl works her ass off, girl gets rewarded ( Read more... ) -
Day One - My Favorite Song
It's not so easy to pick a favorite song, because it changes just about every day (or more frequently). Instead, it's probably a safer bet to write about a song or two that I always love. These don't often get elevated to "favorite" status, but they're examples of archetypal songs. Almost every song I favorite has something in common with these. As ( Read more... ) -

Apologies to Jewel
I know I've written a few cranky posts about Jewel on here. I was just being honest. I'm not entirely sorry for that, but I do feel like an apology of sorts is warranted. You know, in the event that she has ever read anything that I wrote before and/or reads this now. It's probably more of a karmic thing. I understand that plans change and you ( Read more... ) -
Generally speaking
I haven't written recently. Life's been a little tough.
The big event is that my boyfriend and I are no longer together. We made it 8 months...well, technically, it's almost 9 now. I can't bring myself to actually make the phone call. He's never present around me. He'd be physically there, but still seemed distant. When I asked him about it, he ( Read more... ) -
I wish I knew
My boyfriend and I have spent the past two weeks in the negotiations phase. That's what I call the time where you're just not sure if you're going to commit or quit. The thing is, I want to be in a successful relationship. I really do. I want to be a wife and a mother and be something at least approaching happy ( Read more... )
