Dear 2009,

we had a few laughs, we had some good times. I accomplished almost every resolution I made for you. All in all, you were a little too rough on me, but you taught me a lot.

On the one hand, you could be pretty cruel. You stressed me out almost non-stop. You pitted me against an adversary at work, cheated me out of Valentine' ( Read more... )

Remind me next year to stop taking on Halloween projects, and to have my costume ready like MONTHS beforehand. (And to not do a buddy costume again.) Even on my "week's vacation", I am totally stressing the *&^# out ( Read more... )

Whoah. WHERE did my STS go? After so many slipshod dates I finally managed to brandish a whole new form of Slamming That Shit - one I call "I'm Really, Really Hot" - Yet in the course of two days I've gone from Ching-a-Linging with Missy, to Mending My Broken Heart with Al ( Read more... )

Walking down Santa Monica Blvd., hands in my pockets, the gay scene is hopping - surprisingly so for a Monday night - boys checking me out left and right... It should lift my spirits, but I'm mostly over my need for validation. No, I'm walking back from a slightly awkward date at Starbucks. It's as good of a time as any to let the dark thoughts ( Read more... )

Walls? I've put up walls..? Like that's an entirely bad thing. How ironic too, to hear that from Mr. Fort Knox himself ( Read more... )

I am sensitive. I am fearful of certain things. I hurt and my heart is crushable. I am also funny and sharp. I have a sensible head on my shoulders. I have a dry wit. I am a scorpio, which I am increasingly more proud of every day. I am prone to introversion, but I have made great steps at overcoming my inhibitions. I am probably tougher in my core ( Read more... )

Most of my life I can remember struggling with self-confidence. I don't know if it's a born-in trait married to my introversion, or simply the result of a string of things from my childhood. Whatever the case, in my adulthood it's been an annoyingly reoccurring issue ( Read more... )

It's always very comforting to you know when you're not the only one who feels a certain way. There is emotional strength in numbers, and considering how many people are afraid of dentists... it's safe to say my phobia of toothtalk is not pulled from left field. In fact, there are so many individuals who suffer PTS from their orthodontic visits ( Read more... )

ERIC!This is your Palm Springs post-it note, reminding you to chill-the-fuck-out ( Read more... )

I've been told before (mainly by Tyler) that I have this paranoia that the world is against me. While I am not here to further my global conspiracy theories, I can't help but acknowledge that when it rains, it pours... Some things I seem to have terrible luck with. My computer, for instance. When it's actually working, I have internet problems. If ( Read more... )
