Fitting, that my mother has driven me to journal once more ( Read more... )

I don't know how to explain my relationship with my mother. It seems like, no matter how awful your upbringing was, she's still your mom, and speaking poorly of her earns you looks of disgust. Or skeptical smirks. There's really not a way to say anything without feeling judged. Unless you have physical scars, it really "wasn't that bad ( Read more... )

I've been wanting to get back into journaling on here for a bit, but I keep stalling. Stuff has changed around here, my life is damn near unrecognizable from a year ago. It's all exciting and wonderful, but I still hesitate from putting it all on here. For one, it's a pretty damn big story, and I get a little overwhelmed by it every time I go to ( Read more... )

I like puzzles. Regular puzzles, word puzzles, sudoku a little...my favorite, by far though, are logic problem puzzles. Those ones that give you five names, five occupations and five high schools (or whatever) and a blank graph to fill in, and you have to match the person to the job to the school with the clues they give you. They never give you ( Read more... )

My friend Chad gave me a mix cd about a week ago, and I've been pretty much smiling about it ever since. Every single song on it was new to me, and they were all wonderful. I can't even explain how damn happy I've been, but most people would probably think it's out of proportion for a simple mix cd. There has been lots of random "Oh, that's so damn ( Read more... )

- Flurries today. I haven't looked outside lately, but I doubt any of it has stuck. Wouldn't know it from the whining at work, though. Why is everyone so surprised? Tomorrow is December. It's time. It's also time for me to find my gloves. And figure out how I'm going to negotiate my stairs once they're covered in ice. I'm anticipating sliding down ( Read more... )

I'm on a pretty red music kick right now. I don't know what's up, but I just keep listening to songs so violent with emotion that it makes me want to claw my skin off. I'm spamming Facebook pretty mercilessly, in an attempt to do...something. I can't make the music itself, but I can share it, and hopefully it'll hit someone else with the same force ( Read more... )

I was worried I wasn't going to see the new Harry Potter movie at midnight on Thursday. Not really a life threatening problem, but I really love opening night crowds. It's the only time that people making noise in the theater doesn't bother the crap out of me, because they tend to be making happy noises. There's this energy and excitement that's ( Read more... )

You know what, Wham!? THIS is exactly why I don't wake you up before I go-go. Because you try to talk me into staying home instead. I don't care if it's warm in bed, I wanna fucking go out!
