The morning sun coming through my window and bouncing off my mirrored closet doors drew me out of bed far earlier than I had planned on this lazy day. I am sitting at my computer in my bathrobe and slippers, listening to the radiator hiss out its morning greetings, and thinking about how I haven't updated this thing in months. I wonder why that ( Read more... )

I didn't know there would be bats. Nor did I know that despite my rough week, I'd end the night actually feeling alright with the way of things, even hopeful in a strange, resigned kind of way. I think I was just in the need of a good jog ( Read more... )

Today when I look at my reflection, I look like my brother and my heart breaks. I see the point of his chin and the curve of his cheek. My pale blue eyes are his eyes and my lips are not mine. Even the tilt of my head betrays me and today I am not me. I am him, in mind and body ( Read more... )

Sometimes it gets me how different my life could be if you hadn’t have left. If you hadn’t have rode away in that bus, leaving me standing behind, watching you go.

Go on and vote me out of your life. It really makes no difference one way or the other. I'm seeing now how it has to be, that sometimes the symbolism is so great it's almost mindboggling. So what began as a game has become something so much more, because sometimes you can't escape yourself.

One word can sum up this year in music: disappointing. The majority of the releases I waited for fell short of my expectations, and indeed my expectations were the reason for my unhappiness. But in a pile of garbage I’ll forget about by this time next year, there were a few gems that will grace my CD collection for years to come. Not necessarily ( Read more... )

So, there seems to be a rash of people who think I resemble Ally Sheedy in "The Breakfast Club". The first time someone said that to me a few months ago, I thought nothing of it. Now that it's happened on about 5 independent occasions, I'm beginning to believe it. I guess there are worse things to look like, though, like Paul Gersky ( Read more... )

Epiphanies are beautiful things. Went to reconciliation tonight, came out a better person, maybe. I'm not one to believe in these things (re: life-altering experiences), but the Father said some things and then I contemplated them, and I'm feeling a lot better about life, the universe, and everything.
