After work Tuesday I high-tailed my ass to the pottery store to pick up the mug I’d made last time – fucking precious as evidenced by the pics below – and to do some more creating. Yesterday’s project was salt and pepper shakers and quite honestly I impressed myself with how great they turned out. [...]

I never sign in to myspace. Never. I have no reason to. I don’t use it, I have no reason to. But this morning I happened to randomly click on the link, and regretted it shortly after. I saw that I had a new alert and fully expected to see a friend request from some [...]

Is this for-fucking-real? I feel like my life is an episode of punk’d. And not one of those episodes where you laugh your ass off and think Ashton is brilliant, but rather one where you sit back and watch the train wreck, but compose that letter beginning Dear Mr. Kutcher, in your head begging him [...]

I drank a big glass of wine from one of the wine glasses Will gave me for my birthday before talking to Cutie McBarista, and another while talking to him. I smoked 2 cigarettes during our phone conversation. And after telling him why I was so upset, and getting the opposite reaction from the one [...]

This time, however, it wasn’t by a boy. I wish it had been a boy as I sit here trying to compose my thoughts and figure out how I feel. I’ve gone through a huge range of emotions in the past 3 hours since hearing it, and now this glass of wine just may help [...]

Or so it seems, anyway.
Tonight it became completely clear to me that what I need is a job. Before it was 99.9% about the money; now it is more about the stability, structure and something worthwhile to fill my empty space/time. Yeah, I still need the money, but after this weekend, and then today, it [...]

After a particularly grueling weekend filled with panic attacks left and right I was ready for today – brunch with my dear friend Becky. I needed her counseling on the things I’ve been going through, and knew she’d be able to offer me some good advice and insight. And she delivered. I made it through [...]

Ok, so I used to be a daily pot smoker. For like the past 4 years with only short breaks here and there. And by “used to be” I mean up until about 3 weeks ago when I had my first panic attack. I attributed the attack to the smoking, since I’d been high at [...]

The anxiety has lessened since getting the car fixed, and thank something lovely for my little sis for helping out on this one, so I didn’t understand why I started having trouble breathing and swallowing as I was driving to Bart’s house yesterday afternoon. I tried to breathe through it, tried convincing myself that it [...]

I took the train in today so that I could get some de-stress time in with Jen after a horrible Monday night. As I sat there in my seat minding my own business I felt all kinds of eyes on me…the old man to the left who kept looking at me and smiling to himself, [...]

I lied there in his big black arms, smelling his clean all around me and enjoying it. It was a low-key kinda night and it felt good just lying there with him. I liked the softness of his skin, and really I just like being adored for the most part. My bad. Well I like [...]

Last weekend while I was getting ridiculously drunk at Will’s house his boyfriend said that he’d eaten by himself for the first time. I was pretty proud of myself for doing the solo movie thing for the first time, but aside from the one time I’d studied through lunch by myself I’d never eaten alone. [...]
