I think it's time to leave again.
In my first creative writing class, we started the semester with a short piece fabricated from an assigned title. Pete handed them out in little envelopes and we all got something different. The next year I found out where all of those titles came from and I read my story, the one that came before mine. But that...

I need a tango partner.
I enjoyed myself at tango on Satruday, and frankly, it was really the only day I've enjoyed in weeks. Corporate continues to cut hours and next week I have 20. That's so few. I need a new job pronto and I'm tempted to just spend most of this week applying to places and then take next week off, go down...

I can't recall the last time I got so many unsolicited complements from strangers. This has been such a wonderful night! The last few days have been pretty sucky and I've been having a hard time getting myself motivated to do anything at all, like go to yoga, or get off the couch at all after coming home from work, or change my sheets or...

Bravo! Sounds like a great time... and it always feels good to get so many compliments on something you are trying to excel at.
107 degrees? I am sorry but that sounds like a miserable hell on earth to me.
I am soooooo Irish I cannot take that kind of heat.
nope, nope, nope

It's raining. A fine mist drifts down outside my window and I can see my breath, even in the house. As I watch the steady fall of silent rain, larger drops cascade from the eves in nonsense patterns. The black cat is cuddling with my cellphone, her little nose pressed right into the corner of it, her tail under her chin.
Winters are difficult. I...

I have been feeling rather overflowing with emotion. It has stunted my ability to participate with the world in other ways, has kept me on the couch feeling only able to absorb this semblance of reality passively. I am still. The thought of yoga is daunting, though not in the weighted way of a person who has not recently exercised. It is the prospect of...

GAH!!! Guilty as charged. 
But in my defense and plea for a more lenient sentence, you kind of fell of SG also and I thought it was because you were so engrossed in having your beau so close again.
hehe... fall down go boom. hehe.. I like it

I've heard of Roanoke, because of the Steve Austin/Today is the Day connection, but I haven't actually heard anything by them yet.
I think whichever song you sent was too large for YSI, because you have to log in to get it, and I don't have an account. I'm found some Myspace samples though, and I definitely dig. You may be like Ocean or Buried At Sea (broken up) if you like this kind of sludge.

I'm addicted to abc.com because i can spend hours at a time watching tv. this is a bad thing because there's a ton of stuff i should be doing, a ton of stuff i'd rather do, but i'm not. i'm just watching tv.
A few nights ago I went to see El Olio Wolof because a friend of mine plays keyboard and flute in the band. I probably would have enjoyed it regardless because she's cool, and likely I would have even bought a shirt. But, really, they were ridiculously good. I bought their cd, but was sad to learn that because Jami's only been playing with them...

Pan's Labyrinth.
Seriously. Frightening. Beautiful. Incredible.
Life is still hard. But that's what happens, right? I've been thinking about the fact that when I was younger I really wanted to teach art. Maybe I should be doing that. Maybe it's time to get an MFA. Teaching credentials. Or look for Charter Schools near by.
Lost is such a strange feeling.

Uh, thanks?
I've never done meth or any other hard substance and I'm not planning to start.
I was indeed thinking of doing books on tape, or CD depending. Thinking of teaching myself Japanese.
I actually interviewed for an art teaching position one time. I'm great at pottery but I can hardly draw at all.

Hey
Well, the japanese thing is a plan for when I have my own truck. I spose I could have asked my trainer if he wanted to learn japanese as well but that was kind of outside my thought process. Mostly I think about being lonely, and missing my cats. There will be enough going on on the road to keep my mind occupied I expect. Bringing a buncha books and a sketch pad. Right now my sketch pad appears to be the posession of some kind of unhinged obsessive person with a fascination for drawing circles. But it's just me trying to train myself to visualize something and trace on the paper what I'm attempting to visualize.

I'm trying to make money. I'm trying to put time into painting (2 hours a day) and I'm trying to find a new job. None of these things seem to be working out too well.
I have been painting, but I'm using watercolors because apparently I hate myself and it's going slowly. Really slowly. Also, my paper is warping and I don't think I can...

I would absolutely kill myself if I lost my vision. 
dr_lizardo:
Wow, glad to hear you did that.
First house fight. I don't really feel like dwelling on it, but it is bringing up some other interesting issues:
1) Where did I get my assertive and confrontational qualities? My father was the kind of shy person growing up that would wait on stoops for hours for his friends rather than knock on doors. And although my mom seems like she'd be assertive, I'm...

Well, with each of your parents having 46 total chromosomes, the total number of combinations that they can achieve via sexual reproduction is about 70 trillion, buncha different people that might pop out of your mom after 9.5 m onths, so to speak . Or maybe you're adopted.
I would have advised against moving in with a friend. I had a friend as my boss for couple of years and it pretty muck killed our friendship when I sucked at my job and eventually she had to fire me. It may work out all right though, but staking a friendship on long term close quarters compatibility is rather a gamble.
