I have realized something this week. I almost feel ashamed to admit this because I've spent the better portion of my life studing sociology and psychology, both formally and informally, in the class room and in the real world. As a woman, I occasionally get approached by men whom, I can only assume are interested in me. Rarely ever do I get ( Read more... )

I haven't written an inspired poem in probably years....which is sad. I guess The Muse stopped coming around when I got too busy for him. I stopped calling him and he stopped coming by late at night to share with me more than himself. Thusly, I can't honestly say these were the result of the Muse. Maybe when I can start truly being nocturnal again ( Read more... )

Here is an old poem I discovered. I think I will be posting more of these. This one was written 4-20(giggity)2004. Ive been writing since 4th grade-so pretty much my whole life. Good, I claim it not to be. Mine, I do.

Oh, and on an unrelated note, why can y ou set your mood on LJ to "high"? Do they mean the natural one? Well there is still more than ( Read more... )

Today's been a day I just can't seem to wake up from. Last night, at midnight, I was woken up by my gums behind my last tooth being swollen and casuing me pain. I took some pain killers, and swished with mouth wash. Not a good idea. It just pissed it off, and soon the pain was spreading to my ears. I started having a panic/anxiety attack. Josh was ( Read more... )

Most people Ive read the journals of, write about events in their life, both mundane and exciting. Their journal is their story in life. Mine, is more of a complaint box. I don't have a best friend whom I can complain to, and bitch to, someone who will nod and say "Yeah, man, that sucks! I feel your pain" Josh only wants to hear complaints when its ( Read more... )

So I need to stop starting and ending my sentences with "so". I guess I dont do this much online, but I do it a lot in "real life". I guess its because I get cut off and interrupted a lot, and in the last 3 years Ive been making a concious effort to keep my thoughts on track and finish what I start. My ADD keeps my thoughts sporadic, and the pills ( Read more... )

Okay, so I ordered this awesome Garfield watch on ebay. The seller said it is gauranteed to work, it just needs a new battery. So it arrived on monday, and on tuesday I took it down to a jewler that Mom recommended in Spring to have the battery replaced. I didnt want to try to replace it myself because I might scratch the back of it, AND if it ( Read more... )

Even though I have two X chromosomes, I feel confident this advice is useful. It was inspired by an interaction between two co-workers. One of the male technicians walks into the male estimator's office. A moment later, the tech leaves and the estimator says 'Hey dude, thanks for last night'. I start to giggle a little. Now, I am positive they were ( Read more... )

Its only 8:53 and I'm ready to kill someone. TOO EARLY FOR THIS SHI.....STUFF!  In addition to the frustrating but ultimately unnecessary expedition on the Texas DMV website yesterday, trying to figure out how I can get a custom plate back on my car, Josh calls me at 6:30 and asks me to bring him his pocket knife at work. So, being the awesome and ( Read more... )

I recently purchased a bottle of pre mixed Mojito drink. I didn't notice until I got it home that its a vodka base instead of a rum base. Im not particularly fond of vodka, but I tried it. I personally didn't like it. Since it was opened, there was no way I could return it. I doubt Specs takes returns anyhow.
