What a difference a year makes

You know, I would write more blog posts if I actually sat at my computer more. So anyway. It’s Thanksgiving, and I have a lot to be thankful for, so I’m going to go over it. The funny thing is, I can’t help but cringe a bit when I read last years Thanksgiving post, what [...]

So, right, about that.

This blog seems a bit neglected. Why bother writing long rambly paragraphs when I could simply update my relationship status on facebook or write short pithy 140-character updates? Man, blogs are so 2007. And yet, sometimes it’s fun to write long rambly paragraphs, and so I figure I’ll give that a try now. As I [...]

Dating is weird.

So, previous to my last relationship, I was kind of … committed to being single. Other than a few short relationships every few years, I’d been essentially single since I was 20. I’ve also generally been involved in a community that often goes by different standards than the general population. The result of this is [...]

Last Day

its my last day of mourning in public, so I figured I’d go out with a bang. Or as much of a bang as one can when typing on an iPhone, which is not the most efficient blogging platform. I think what I miss the most, aside from Nick himself, is the sense of companionship. [...]

January 24th

January 24th’ll be 3 months single. So, lots has changed since then. I’ve been in my new apartment for more than 2 months now. I’ve gotten quite settled into my job. I’ve made some ridiculously fun new friends. I’ve embarked on some fun adventures, both solo and with other people. I’ve taken lots of photos, [...]

Thanks.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the super amazing people in my life. This has been a ridiculously hard week for me, pretty much all of my energy has been going to Staying Sane At Work, so by the time I get home… yeah, I’m done. The wonderful outpouring of support [...]

I’m still not ready to talk

Or at least, not ready for any sort of back-and-forth conversation, but I am perfectly capable of rambling. So ramble I will. If you haven’t been following along, Nick broke up with me on Sunday. I am not a fan of this move and am instead completely devastated. The timing is definitely pretty shitty (learning [...]

No Actual Fathers Were Mentioned In This Father’s Day Post

Okay, okay, I know this doesn’t count. But Nick has been a supremely awesome co-dog-parent with me for the last two years, and he deserves some props for that. There is no Puppy-Parent-Day, and so I’m co-opting Father’s Day a little. As you can see, she clearly worships him. And he’s pretty fond of her [...]

Shark Wakeup Service!

I have this awesome shark towel, courtesy of the Marmot for Christmas last year. I can’t find a picture of it, but imagine a hooded towel, like what people often make for babies. Now imagine it adult-sized. Now put a shark fin and eyes and teeth on it. Voila. Shark towel. I love it, because [...]

Pillow

Justice makes an excellent pillow.
