Good Luck, Babe
Well, the property is officially sold and I was very surprised when my mother deposited my share of the sale into my account. I have to be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about the whole thing...
Spectre in the Lounge
I tried to get myself organized, but it seems to be a much more difficult process than I had originally thought it would be. I mean, I have to come up with a serious life for myself now. There’...
Dissolving the Legacy
I received some news from my little brother in mid-October that surprised me. He said that he was surprised that I hadn’t been told about it, either, and so I called my mother for confirmation. ...
Final Departures
Honestly, my life stayed mostly the same for six months. I was working so much that I had almost no time for anyone or anything. Anytime I did go out, it was mostly rote and full of stupid choic...
In the Long Run
The next semester started after I had only 9 days off. I discovered just a few days ago that I was assigned an international class against my requests, which means I do not have a day off until M...
A Follow-Up Comment
I think I may have made my mother’s statements from the last entry misunderstood, she has always been like that and it wasn’t said with malice, it was said matter-of-factly. It’s just an acknowle...
Hard or Soft?
I know that erasing all of my social media was a big overreaction, and I know what it was about, too. First, there was a message from Dave. 10 years ago, Dave was one of my closest friends. He w...
Public Relations
I decided that I would participate in Pride, which is something I mostly had avoided since moving to Thailand. I’ve never really enjoyed that kind of frivolity, just too many people and other thi...
Hello Good-bye
I hadn’t been out in a very long time. I’d finally gotten the all-clear from the doctor, but I was still recovering from the surgery. The biopsy had come back negative so the month of existential...
Summer Feelings
I don’t want to say I turned over a new leaf, which would not be accurate because I went to another one of those insane sex parties, but I’ve become much more selective about who I socialize with...
Tongue Twisted
Last night was random in ways I wasn’t sure I was prepared for… I had decided I was going to have a nutty night out because I spent nearly all of November in a holding pattern. I’d finished week ...
Hebdomadal
Well, I got through my first week. I say “got through” but in reality it was fine. Yes, every class there was some problem, usually with the technology or some other thing that nobody in leadersh...
Mounting Gone Wrong
Last night, I went to the 8th anniversary of Luka, a super trendy restaurant in the fancy part of town. The owner invited me and I was very surprised Bane didn’t show up. Bane has been vying for ...
Don't Think, Just Pull the Pin
I know it’s been a while considering I was in a good rhythm for a while, but I did something that had huge consequences and I did not really think about it in advance which caused me to spend alm...
Music to Be Murdered By
What has been the highlight of this past week? Last night I was on a date and it was incredibly boring, he was gorgeous but had the personality of a rice square. When he finally left, the guys at...
Worship God
The other night Bane took me to see a live music show. I was a little hesitant for two reasons. The first being that I’m very picky about live music, and Bane’s taste in music wasn’t exactly in l...
Idle Vengeance
So I was out last night to go to an event, more on that in a minute, and stopped to eat KFC… because I have weird cravings for mashed potatoes… when I looked out the window and saw Ark smiling ba...
Renovations Complete
I chatted with my mother and Chuckie this morning. I called because I had been asking her to send my bank card to me, as well as my Halloween costume. As I expected, she’s been procrastinating it...
Dodgeball
I did something rather surprising the other day. In fact, I can’t think of another point in my life where I’ve ever made that choice. At the time, it didn’t seem that momentous, but in hindsight,...
Walk Two Moons
As I was reading Charlize Theron’s comments about aging and getting older, I had a sudden realization about my friendship with Bane. Most of it came to light after reading an entry of mine from 2...
Caught In the Net
I was cleaning out my computer and I found all my back entries dating back to 2003 up until shortly before I started here. I spent the last few days going back and reading entries at random, and ...
Mannequine Maquillé
Richard does nothing but send me 10+ Instagram Reels videos a day. It drives me absolutely nuts. I mean, I adore him (I’m glad we’re not close in proximity any longer because we’ve definitely div...
Rooms
I was out with Bane the other night. I’d somehow gotten tricked into going out when I really didn’t want to. He had a friend visiting from Bali (I’m still not completely sure how they knew each o...
Six Days Seven Nights
I am finally back at work. We had a six day weekend… that’s right. Read that again. I was off from Friday to Wednesday. I know for some of you that is a dream come true, however I felt like I was...
Karma Barbie
It’s been such a weird month. I looked around at everything happening and thought to myself, something has to be in retrograde like Mercury or Venus or the 5th House or whatever this stuff means…...
