what should i say

Does anyone else in the world stress the subject: line of an email as much as I do? I hate trying to think of a short, sometimes witty, often one-word, way to sum up an email. Personal emails, of course. … Continue reading

a bunch of rambling about the j-o-b

I’m in the pissiest mood today.  I don’t know why.  Nothing really happened to set me off, it’s just a continuation of the crap-ass mood from Wednesday.  I think the lack of sleep is catching up with me.  I can’t … Continue reading

smile!!!

I was 16 when I left home to spend a year in Brazil. I didn’t speak a word of Portuguese except banheiro (bathroom). I didn’t even know how to ask where the banheiro was, I just knew how to say … Continue reading

brilliance at its best

Today at work I commented to MB that I was going to totally fail my sociology exam this afternoon due to lack of studying.  She laughed and said “L, you just don’t give yourself enough credit.”  While I was turning … Continue reading

Remember when I had that brilliant idea to try to impress Prof Adorable with my excellent idea for a research paper? Yeah, I fucked that up. Here I am at 11:30 trying to finish Round 1, which is only the … Continue reading

I’m a slug on a stone. Really. Dr. Phil said so, so it must be true. I was listening to my DP book on tape on my afternoon drive and he said that if you go home and sit on … Continue reading

I don’t know why I think Stanley Tucci is so hot, but I do.  Something about him is so fucking sexy.  Hmmm….my crushes as of late are really starting to confuse me.  But Stan (we’re cool like that) isn’t a … Continue reading

baby blues

It’s not socially acceptable to want a baby when you are single.  It’s not socially acceptable to talk about babies when the option isn’t even there.  It’s not acceptable to talk about your worries about whether or not you’ll ever … Continue reading

sex dreams and regret

Every few months I randomly have dreams about an old friend of mine…generally they’re pretty plain and boring.  We kissed in one dream, which was weird, but other than that he’s always just made random appearances out of nowhere.  That … Continue reading

when you’re picky you go hungry

Today I was coming out of Lowe’s when I was approached by a man who definitely didn’t look impoverished.  He started his spiel of “I have been trying to find work and I don’t have any gas.  Could you…ummm…help me … Continue reading

where is the love

I want to start hiking.  Hell, I love the outdoors and I need the exercise.  Why doesn’t anyone I know want to join me?  Assholes.  How do you find people to do things like this with?  I can’t very well … Continue reading

more changes

I got up an hour earlier than normal today to start my treadmill routine.  Wouldn’t it be my luck that the fucking belt is broken.  After 3 times using the damn thing!  What the fuck is that about??  Somehow one … Continue reading

the crush is back

Ok, so the crush isn’t really over.  Given the events of last Tuesday, if you can count finding out that he has a child as an event, I thought I’d be over it.  But seeing Prof Adorable on Thursday brought … Continue reading

Her name was Karen, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forget her no matter how hard I try. I was a girl of 12, a 6th grader, only months into my new life as a woman, … Continue reading

the quick train out of crushville

I’m very sad to report tonight that the crush is no longer.  Of course this is not because Prof Adorable is no longer adorable or because I’ve found a new and more exciting crush to occupy my time in singletown, … Continue reading

good times

I broke down last night and sent Prof Adorable an email.  It was partially an excuse to establish contact and partially a legitimate question about an assignment.  I’m guessing (ha) it was more an excuse to establish contact than anything.  … Continue reading

keep on dreaming

I decided to quit smoking today.  Cigarettes, that is, since I already stopped the weed smoking (minus the Labor Day weekend hiatus from being a quitter).  I was growing tired of the smell, the desire, everything about the damn cigarettes.  … Continue reading
