Lamentation Explanation
There was some question regarding my statement in the last entry that I felt I couldn’t date someone outside of my race. I should have known better than to throw out that question so flippantly b...
Damages
I wrote recently on another blog about how I discovered I was part of this group of friends that I didn’t realize I had. Literally, the next day, I had a rude awakening regarding my friendship wi...
The Die Is Cast
Someone recently asked me why I don’t get along with my mother. The answer is simple, but the reasons behind the answer are extremely complicated. The reason I know it’s both is because I was rec...
No One
Today was the funeral. My mother sang, my stepfather gave the eulogy and my grandfather was the pastor of the ceremony. I think that might be why I have such a strange perspective on death. I’ve ...
Familial Framework
Everything all around me is going pretty terribly right now… and I couldn’t feel better. I know that sounds really bad but I feel good to have a grip on everything right now. The death of my gran...
Mirror, Mirror
In the previous weeks, I’ve been put on a collision course with myself. Some of us will never see the light. We have our antlers locked in battle with something that forces our gaze anywhere but ...
The Cold, Hard Facts
I’ve been really mouthy lately. Mouthier than usual. Especially on the internet. I just can’t stand idiocy any longer. My friend posted an article about the LGBT high school in Atlanta which fea...
"Friends"
“Type entry here…“ Wow, thanks for giving me something to aspire to. What am I supposed to say? I’ll have no rest. I have just 48 hours to get my application to France finished and I can’t seem t...
Let's do the 2015 survey because I'm a procrastinator...
1: What did you do in 2015 that you’d never done before? I graduated from university and found myself in the post-college wasteland. 2: Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you mak...
Raging Waters
I kid you not, the 26th of December, my depression lifted, my illness left and I immediately turned into that meme of Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music spinning on the mountains. It was nice,...
Right For Me
I know I haven’t been writing that often, but it’s honestly because I’m depressed and I hate depressed writing. There’s a defeatist bleakness that permeates any writing that I do and it isn’t wha...
What You Think Of Me
Do you ever just enter this phase where you think everything is just incredibly stupid? I’ve been told that I have a reputation for being elitist and snobby, which I don’t necessarily think is ac...
Echoes of My Father
So much has happened and I’ve wanted to write but my computer had to get shipped off to Texas for repairs. I’ve been sick, done scene work, been asked to audition for a Tennessee Williams product...
PS, I Love You
I don’t know what I’m writing about. I have been sick for days. I kept it together enough to work over the weekend, but I’ve totally collapsed when it was time to return to school. Whatever, my c...
Versions of Violence
Being friends with straight guys means that from time to time, things get uncomfortable. As with any friends you make, there are going to be times when they say something offensive and you have t...
Milanos Aren't Enough
I might type this really poorly because I’m typing it in my class, and I sit next to this hot Persian guy with a huge package in his bicycle shorts, and he constantly plays with it, so I’m always...
So this survey seemed fun, but every question was depressing
What part of pop culture do you wish would just go away? Well, “go away” is a bit strong, but I wish reality television were shelved as a concept for a little while. Back when it was first starti...
Legacy
I suppose I didn’t explain myself very well in my last entry. I was overcome by my rant on privacy that I never actually got to balance out exactly what I was trying to say had happened. But I ha...
Bitter On the Vine
I know it’s not really clear from how I write, usually I zoom in on a specific topic and mention only the specifics (or talk around the specifics), but I’ve made a lot of changes lately. However,...
the Super Moon
Things weren’t easy for a while. In fact, they were as hard as they’d ever been in my life. However, I’ve gotten through to the other side. I stuck with my job and have now landed a better one, t...
Get Stupid
This week I kind of went outside myself and tried to observe my daily life from another’s point-of-view, mainly because someone remarked at how busy I seem to be. I realized that that is true. Th...
American Baby
You know, I came back here for many reasons. One of them was because of my family, but the other was because of the friends that I had here. However, as I have learned again and again, those rela...
Mine
Since I started back to the school I last attended three years ago, I’ve seen quite a few professors I knew, and occasionally a few students. Well, really only one student. She went to Paris with...
Thwomp Trap
You know, I’m pretty patient. I give people a lot of latitude when it comes to situations, but if someone does something so ridiculous and egregious, I find it nearly impossible to forgive. Sunda...
She's Not Me
In order to understand this entry, it will be helpful if you have read Pictures for Lovers of only because I’m going to be referencing people and events that I mentioned in that entry. Furthermor...
