Girlfriend, Roommate, Boarder, or Squatter?

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Well then, let’s get to the topic at hand. There are perhaps no “right” words to write about what the last three months have brought to both of our lives. With or without meaning to, my boyfriend and I both placed expectations upon what living together would be- me, naïvely but in good faith, and he, apparently [...]

Five Years

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Nothing- Neither the Sublime, Nor the Harrowing- is Permanent

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Sometimes, the reminder you need is subtlety waiting at the end of the block in that boarded up storefront you’ve passed by for six years… It has not escaped my notice that I still have not written about moving in with my boyfriend; about the move itself, the changes that living together has brought (or not [...]

Catching My Breath

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Yesterday afternoon, I realized I had put on and was wearing my underwear inside out…for the second time this week. To say I’m a bit distracted, a bit stressed, even a bit overwhelmed might come close to describing the tornado of activity and change I’ve experienced in the past two months. Might. Packing, packing, and more packing of [...]

Monday, May 16th, 2011

This week, I’m going to Vegas (!!!!!), and I will undoubtedly be checking a bag. Not because I am bringing no fewer than eight pairs of shoes- final number TBD, not because I can’t edit the dresses selected for day and night outings, and not because I’m lazy (although I am unmotivated in general) and am just throwing [...]

Aloft

You know, depression is a funny thing. Not funny “Ha Ha,” of course. No. Funny in the sense that it can possess you so completely that you forget where you end and it begins. You lose track of yourself in a way one would never think possible. You are depression. And then, you try a [...]

Where I Am

Monday, October 4th, 2010

I’ve been a bad little blogger lately. I haven’t been writing, reading, or commenting. I’ve watched my Google Reader run amok and have simply sat by. I’ve fallen terribly behind. I’ve been a bad friend lately too. I haven’t been making plans, haven’t been emailing or calling, even texting. I’ve gone quiet without warning or [...]
