Nothing more political than the personal.

About Me

I'm quiet. I'm loud. My favorite times are when i'm alone. I'm an avid reader as well as a writer. Ideally I would like to use my writing for work and travel at the same time. I'm cynical and maybe a little too trusting. I love vodka martinis. I love to go dancing. Darts, pool, yes. Air hockey! Dressing up is fun-I clean up pretty well. I'm very obsessive compulsive. I have two major pet peeves, including people who are indecisive, and people who don't speak correctly. I'm very laid back and easy to get along with. I like for things to just happen. I have problems with commitments. I'm sarcastic and witty. I like to go on road trips. Girls. Guys. Trying new things. Meeting new people. I can eat a large pizza by myself in one sitting. I love candy. I'm very open, and more times than not it causes trouble. I like cold weather: sitting by the fireplace, hot chocolate, snowball fights. I like watching thunderstorms. Did I mention that I wait until the gas light comes on to fill up? Mostly, though, I don't really know a thing about myself.

Shitloads of Money

Okay, so it's tax time again. Last year I worked roughly six months, and I pretty much broke even. Almost. So when I received my tax papers this year, I became increasingly nervous about filing becaus...

Jailhouse Rock

 Who really enjoys dating? Sigh. I find myself scrutinizing every male or female I encounter, carefully remaining behind the imaginary caution tape i've hung in my mind. Dating a man is like owni...

Once Bitten, Twice Shy (part 1, working on it still)

It's bad when your boss pulls you into his office and asks if everything is okay. It's really bad when he tells you that you come off as condescending, and as an aloof bitch. Although my boss says tha...

Baby (Causing) Fever

(This story takes place at my work, as i'm sitting at my desk) I watched it crawl toward me as the acid in my stomach began balling up and growing into one large mass. The rotten Baby was inching it...

Real Life

First, I really wanted to put something other than 'sad' in my current mood area. But I'll tell you, sad it is a pretty good word right now. I can't really think of any better. I want to cry. I just ...

Simplicity

Something comes over me (a feeling maybe? An idea?) as I uncork my second bottle of white zinfandel tonight. This life I lead, this incongruous arrangement that I never saw in any card reading or horo...

My hell

This week is supposed to be a very easy one. I work a total of 2 1/2 days, and only one doctor is on staff. Today I was given the morning off, and was to report to work around 1 this afternoon. Excite...

Can't get you out of my head

I'm having a bad obsessive compulsive day. For starters, I got to work today and realized to my horror I had forgotten my pen. I know the office is full of pens, but it's not MY pen. MY pen has not b...

Line for the above average only

Have you ever broken up with someone only to have them come back at you with: "you will never find someone like me again?" Except secretly you're happy about that? Kinda reminds me of the grocery stor...
