I've got issues, and some of those issues have problems.

About Me

"Everyday" - Toby Lightman
Everyday is a struggle between what I wanna say
And what I should keep to myself
And the words that manage to leave my lips
Don't hurt me, but they hurt everyone else
So I find myself in need of a pause
I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me
But I'll see better when the smoke clears
When the smoke clears inside my head
And I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said
And all that remains is me and who I am at the end of the day
And this happens everyday
Everyday is a battle between what I wanna know
And what I don't wanna figure out
And everything in between in these thoughts of mine
That you know I can't live with out
So I find myself in need of a pause
I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me
But I'll see better when the smoke clears
When the smoke clears inside my head
And I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said
And all that remains is me and who I am at the end of the day
And this happens everyday

My Interests

Almost everything. Almost.

I'd like to meet:

New people, to replace the ones in my life I've erased from memory.

Cute Hot Layouts From WHATEVERLIFE.COM!

Music:

CARBON LEAF! Also... Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Fiona Apple, Veruca Salt, Tom Petty, Cake, Disturbed, and many other musicians/groups spanning many genres

Movies:

The Life of David Gale, Children of Men, Maria Full of Grace, Real Women Have Curves, the list goes on...

Television:

One Tree Hill is the only show I find myself watching religiously, which isn't something I should probably admit in public. I can go weeks without turning on the TV though.

Books:

I love memoirs/autobiographies. I have a huge collection. Most recently, "I Am Not Myself These Days" was fantastic, as was "Bitter is the New Black." Genius. Updated to add "Possible Side Effects" and "Bright Lights, Big Ass" to the list of favorites. I am seriously going to go broke buying these books. Someday I'm going to have to stop reading and start writing again.

Heroes:

Anyone who stands up for what they believe in.

My Blog

This is a good night.

I'm starting to get over my terrible reaction to the nasty fumes coming from my new carpet. I showered, left the house, came back, and cracked open a cheerleader beer. I spent most of the day cleaning...

Back. Off.

I am absolutely sick and tired of living my life for other people, and of ANSWERING to other people.  For some reason, multiple people in my life ask questions about things that are absolutely no...

Major Improvement

You may have noticed my ridiculously upbeat status changes lately.  I've noticed them too. It occurred to me while cleaning house today... Lexapro has officially saved my life. A few weeks a...

Shocking announcement

I officially hate snow. Yes, stop gasping.  Mrs. Alaska herself, Karli (Kay) Woltering, is formally announcing her hatred of frozen precipitate. It has been snowing for over 24 hours now, non-sto...

Good times...

Tonight was the first "great night" I've had in a very long time, and I'm really lucky to have such great people in my life. I've come to an interesting bend in the road, where I've had to make some h...

So Im kind of freaking out...

I think I have to put my dog to sleep, and I'm just having a crisis in general.  I seem to have total and complete nervous breakdowns every year and a half or so, and apparently, I was due. ...

Ahhh.... I’ll miss this

Mik took me out on a date tonight. We went ice skating, then out to dinner.  It was a very calm, sweet, pleasant evening. Until we got our fortune cookies. "What kind of zen shit is this?"  ...

Jealousy...

...is so unflattering.  However, it makes me smile to know that my life is going so well that others feel the need to attempt to screw it up. Some people are nothing but a speed bump on the ...

Check me out!

A year ago today I was wheeled into the operating room weighing a ridiculous 265 lbs. After 11 years of being extremely overweight and working (unsuccessfully) with a doctor on diet and exercie progra...
