Shit
I just had one of those screwups that I know I'll feel horrible about for years to come. It was not a simple mistake, or one of those that "just happens", or even an accident. It was the result of doing something I thought was harmless fun, something that comes from me trying to provoke an eyeroll or similar lightheartedly annoyed reaction, but it ( Read more... ) -
Call you maybe
As long as I can remember, I've always been terrified of making phone calls. Whether it's to a close friend, or to my credit card company, or even to my parents, the act of dialing always sends my heart rate up. My stomach goes into knots, and I'm often left in a cold sweat. Sometimes when I want or need to talk to someone, it can be days until I ( Read more... ) -
The Modern Age
What is chemistry? Chemistry is when neither of you have the urge to take out your smartphones, even just to check the time.

Toot
So this may be TMI, but one of the worst situations to be in is to be in the middle of a conversation with someone of the opposite sex -- perhaps it's a date, perhaps you're just meeting up for coffee, or maybe you two are in a car driving someplace; in any case it's just you and that person -- and... you have to fart. Not just a little thing that ( Read more... ) -
Decoding LJ
Someday, I want to have a conversation with each and every one of you in a cozy café someplace, if only to find out the meaning behind every one of your cryptic but beautifully written LJ posts. I'll share my secrets if you share yours.

I am my work
For most of this year, I've been pulling 10-12hour workdays. To my friends who've asked, I've given several reasons for this: my overall workload's gone up, I've gotten higher visibility tasks (read: the CEO and her staff see my work) that demands more time & care, my coworker got fired (not that he was helping much) and hasn't been replaced yet, ( Read more... ) -
Roller Coaster
Have you ever been in a happy funk? I don't know how else to explain it. Overall, I'm content, if not happy. There are things going right with my life, and there are issues, but no more or less than anyone else. I'm still my sarcastic self, I'm still smiling from the events of 17 days ago, work has become less crazy AND I'm being recognized for the ( Read more... ) -
The key
I've realized that the person who makes me laugh the most is myself. If I ever find a woman who makes me laugh as much, I'm marrying her instantly. -
♫♪
I've always been drawn towards instrumental music more than pop or rock songs or whatever's currently popular. It's what I listen to at work, or when I'm reading a book, or I'm feeling moody. There's something inherently more timeless about voices through the strings of a violin, or more impactful about emotions conveyed through a piano. Top 40 ( Read more... ) -
Oversharing
A habit of mine that I've become acutely aware of in recent years is my propensity to overshare. Whether it's a phone conversation, or email, or here on this blog, if left unchecked, I have this tendency to ramble on and on and talk about every and any little detail about my life. Stuff that no one else reveals about themselves, not because you ( Read more... )
