About Me

ENFP * * * "Je ne suis de l'Ã©cole du rien, ni dans le roman, ni dans le drame; je suis au contraire pour la passion, pour ce qui agit et ce qui Ã©meut." * * * "I shall forget you presently, my dear, So make the most of this, your little day, Your little month, your little half a year, Ere I forget, or die, or move away, And we are done forever; by and by I shall forget you, as I said, by now, If you entreat me with your lovliest lie I will protest you with my favourite vow. I would indeed that love were longer-lived, And oaths were not so brittle as they are, But so it is, and nature has contrived To struggle on without a break thus far,-- Whether or not we find what we are seeking Is idle, biologically speaking." * * * I am a mess, I'm on a mission.

My Blog

Don't judge me before 10 am.

Eight forty five in the morning, on a train bound for Seattle. The woman at the ticketing booth asked me if I was having a good morning and then seemed off-put by my response of "no..." Why do people ...

Things that run...

Disheveled.

My hair's a mess, I'm hungry; (I have, however, had my coffee.) I haven't paid my bills in weeks, I need to wash my face, my produce has wilted, my bed is unmade, my laundry undone, the curtains have ...

Tu es beau, tu sais?

Breakin' up is hard to do.

I broke up with the Alibi Room. We're still sleeping together, but keeping it casual. You know, no commitments. My roommate told me I'm a commitment-phobe. I was writhing around on the floor by her be...

Existential Vaccuum

What is it about Sunday that simultaneously inspires and sucks the life out of a day? R. and I have coined a term: (or would "coin" a "term" if that phrase had any relevant meaning...) The Sunday Void...

Breakfast with N.

I decided this morning that if one cannot have a successful breakfast with a love-interest, the relationship is doomed. That is to say, dinner is easy. You're drinking wine or whiskey, its usually a b...

Dreams of Gael.

Today was another lazy day off...which tends to be the case when I only have one free day a week and my social calendar takes up all my night hours. This weekend was hilarious and included getting dra...

'Tis the night before christmas and I'm at Cara's house...eating Delice de Bourgogne and drinking mulled wine. And Ouzo. And rum. Three cute little cups all in a row. Drowning holiday sorrows, if you ...
