My mind is bouncing off the walls like silly putty on crack.
But for the moment, a happy thought:

Um.... yum. I will always be an illustrator at heart, after devoting four years of my life and a lot of money to the study of it. I love doing it, and I loooooooooove looking at it. Give me a children's book over most museums...

Awesome!
Things have been better. No, we didn't talk about it... honestly, trying to get him to talk about what he did 5 minutes ago is challenging enough. But it's been better.
One way or another, I'm in love with the smart handsome goofy man much more than I thought possible. In such an easy way... this doesn't feel hard. I know hard will come, but...

God bless SG for being the forum where I can post questions like this...
Question for both the guys and the ladies: I'm in a situation where my boyfriend seems to want to masturbate to porn more than he wants to have sex with me. Now, clearly, I'm not a porn hater myself, and to some extent whatever makes him happy is fine with me....

I think that this could be a phase, but you should have an honest discussion with him. I don't think it is a good sign. Good luck!

I've actually had two really close female friends have similar situations recently. In both cases, it ended up being something internal going on with the guy. If I have any empirical evidence to offer or advice to give, I'd say this: 99.9% chance it is, in fact, *them,* not you.
It's certainly something to talk out with him, though, find out if he even knows the reasons himself why he wants/needs this. Don't let it drag on... if it's something going on in his head or life, it's probably not going to be something he'll change til he knows you're not happy.

In a fit of rage and stupidity I broke the wiper control arm off the steering column of my car this morning, while pounding on the steering wheel and screaming. Anger issues? Nah.
Stress, mostly. Too much unknown for too long. Work, love, location, life. The boy is amazing and antagonizing in turns, and the Jekyll-and-Hyde routine isn't helping much with my precarious balance on...

Played kickball on Memorial Day with a large group of friends, in a park by the sea.
(Okay, so maybe it was the park by the sea with the fantastic view of the power plant. It was still nice.)
Beer and hot dogs and friends, oh my!

Kickball rules. It needs to be an Olympic sport asap.
They were playing kickball when I went to pick up Kendrick at his after-school program yesterday and it took all my will power not to jump out in front of him and steal his kick. Oh I wanted to soooo badly. I did not, and hence am not a totally evil step-father.

Good luck lady!
I went down over the weekend to look at apartments. The property manager I called said he had 3 places to show me on Angel street. Turns out they were all in the same building... above the Liquid Lounge and the Vietnamese place. I was like "HELLS NO!" Rats ahoy!

Hope the RISD interview went well! Definitely let me know if you're headed back to Providence.
Sorry that this venue has become mostly a forum for me to spout about my love life. Sometimes you have to scream in the dark.
He's trying hard to talk me out of loving him, which I take as a bad sign. Especially since I am a fairly easily convinced girl. Everything -- EVERYTHING -- hinges on him being accepted to the National Guard. Judegment...

Love life is going better. Whiskey-fueled nights of honesty and such. Complicated, but good.
Looking for a life change, though. Salem feels old, and not in a good way. His ghosts lurk around every corner, and as I dodge exes at coffeeshop after coffeeshop, I'm starting to understand. Even small cities are small.
Bah. Spring. Aren't you over YET?

I want to move back to Providence, honestly. My ghosts have largely vacated that city, leaving just fairies and unicorns to mind the fort. Salem is lovely, but my heart belongs in PVD

And oh, shucks. *blushes* I'm not sure about sexy, but I hope I at least rate "amusing" and/or "entertaining" from time to time...
Is it possible to have a relationship that doesn't die a little at a time, ounce by ounce, moment by moment?
(Why, yes, Jen, it is. You can kill it in a gloriously blaze of momentary chaos and anger instead of the slow and steady method. Maybe you should go for the glory this time.)
I adore this man. I have ever since I first...

The difference between survival and living well is enormous.
I grew up learning how to survive, how to adapt, to make do, problem-solve. Not always, or often, even, in a gritty true "survival" way, but much more often in a "dear god, please don't make me do that" way. Since age, oh, say, 17 or so, it's mostly been in a, "dear god, please, please...
