Classes have started back, and this school year seems as if it is going to be odd. I've been taking notice of social patterns, and it seems that there are a lot more cliques, and a lot less general friendliness with the new crop of students than there was in my previous years. Also, there is a trend that I'm trying to shatter that I...

Congradulations for taking the xtra effort! The problem is that quite often youll find their eyes glazing over instead of yours....zzzzzzzzz.
You wont know if theres a treasure of conversation waitng to be released untill youve pryed a little.


Last night I had one of the most clear moments of realization that I have had in a while. I've been reading all kinds of philosophy and books on spiritual guidance, feeling as if I have been learning a lot of good things from them, and yet I still find myself feeling bad about the same things I did before I read them. I felt...

thanks! i think i look silly, but i honestly can say i make some of those faces often
School is starting back and so is my neurotic dread of it. I've met some nice people, but for the most part the sight of them all over campus fills me with a sick sort of unpleasantness. There is still so much suffering in me, still so much that I have yet to accept, still so much that I want to be different. All of...

Hi! I noticed your comments under BREE's journal and thought you might be interested in this article- Using GOOGLES search engine > US religious fanatics driving Bush's Middle East policy by George Monbiot < [he's a highly regarded reporter/writer.] And something that will NEVER get reported in mainstream media!
Read your journal and realised how fortunate I am! You have so much baggage for one so young! Wishing the best!


It's raining a lot today. I'm so psyched that the weekend is almost here, and I'm about to get paid. I have a whole weekend of geeking the fuck out to look forward to with my friends. Today I have an appointment with my therapist. Depending on how I feel when it is all said and done, I think this will be my last visit...

Thanks for the newswire article submission. However, I've decided not to run it for two reasons. First, there's a topic about it that's already being discussed on the boards, and as you probably know we usually scan the boards before posting articles to make sure that they aren't duplicating existing topics. Second, the general format for a newswire posts incorporates opinion and fact, we generally try to stay away from strictly opinion-based pieces. However, thanks for taking the time to write it, and I look forward to reading more submissions from you in the future.

Thanks for the info, I will have to check that out!

Last night I came up with some of the greatest comic book villains I have ever written while thinking up ideas for my next Mutants and Masterminds game. I've found I get a lot more joy out of gamemastering roleplaying games for my friends than I used to now, and I think this in part has to do with my approaching the process with a...

thankyou !

the_alchemist:
Thank you for your insight.

I see my therapist today and I'm not really sure what to tell her. I haven't really been up and I haven't really been down. I've been somewhat complacent I suppose. There is one issue that is starting to creep up on me though. I think I am afraid of losing my identity. All of the practices that I have been doing to help keep...

Today at work really haunting images started coming into my head as I typed. The first one was because my hands were going so fast that I imagined they might keep going after the rest of my body had died off. Everything in these visions was dark, with flickering light as if from a monitor, and dreamlike. I've been wanting to write a story about...

...thank you.

Today my search for inner peace and enlightenment ceased, at least for a little while. I just let go. For the longest time I've been struggling against who I am, while trying to be something better. Finally I realized how silly it is to try and be different from what you are. No matter how much a person might change, in the present moment they...
