Ok, I know it will sound strange, but I thought I might die today. Not because of having a near-death experience, but because I thought signs were pointing me that way ( Read more... )

I've felt like I've grown up so much over the last couple of years, and that I don't get these crazy sexual impulses anymore ( Read more... )

As always, my constant journal, I am your inconstant friend. Or as our Catholic friends might say, "Bless me father for I have sinned. It has been XX days since my last confession ( Read more... )

M's grandmother is sick, and so we've spent a lot of time at the hospital over the last month. She went in for a surgery to remove some intestinal cancer and it's been nothing but complications ever since.

Maybe I'm just tired of my guys getting their ( Read more... )

I don't know if you all have had years where there is just so much work to do or things to deal with in all areas of your life that you just have to reconcile yourself to having one of those years and slog through. That's how my life is right now. Stessful, although not unbearably so. And a lot of good comes with it, so I'm sure I shouldn't ( Read more... )

The Da Vinci Code: An average novelist writes a good suspense novel using a host of intriguing ideas. If you haven't yet read this, I absolutely recommend it. Not for the religiously offended, but just a bunch of valuable stuff to ponder. Made me go out and get Holy Blood, Holy Grail to figure out how true the story is ( Read more... )
