Dear Officer Dorner ( Read more... )

One thing I have never been good at: the waiting game. I cannot stand sitting around with nothing to do except wait for someone to get back to me. An hour at the doctor's office or a few days for test results doesn't bother me at all. But weeks or months of not knowing quickly becomes frustrating. I am also not very good with rejection by ( Read more... )

I have been asked to update this thing again. As always, I'd rather see you than get a gift.The list is in no particular order of preference. I'm more into borosilicate glass at the moment, but that may always change, as I'm a fickle little glass lover. Philosophically, I'm currently really into Nietzsche commentaries, but, again, that may ( Read more... )

Reading Heidegger's Being and Time, I came across this:
The tendency of Being-with-one-another concerns itself as such with averageness, which is an existential characteristic of the "they." ... This care of averageness reveals in turn an essential tendency of Dasein which we call the "leveling down" of all possibilities of Being.Basically, I think ( Read more... )

I want a relationship of equals; individuals who strive together and apart for their individual and common goals. I don't want one person's will subsumed by the other. I don't want one person's goals put on hold, or given up, to suit the other's. I don't want either person to give up who they are for love of the other ( Read more... )

So, my really wonderful Oregon honey ended up next to a coffee maker (because I didn't know better) and got crystallized. I was following instructions on how to fix it so that I could use some. Since it takes the same amount of time to fix one or two bottles, I decided to go ahead and fix both at the same time ( Read more... )

I'm really looking forward to my birthday party ( Read more... )

This has been bothering me, and I don't know how to approach the topic in person, so I'm just going to do it here ( Read more... )

I have been trying to find a way to write this entry without hurting anyone. It is very difficult. My goal is always to leave my journal open, and to write about whatever I want to write about, and not care what people think. That's the whole reason I created it: it gives me a way to be completely honest about the way I'm feeling at any given ( Read more... )
