beauty is…

beauty is…

laughing with friends
eating chicken wings (and turkey legs) without caring
playing with your hair
lounging in sweatpants
dancing in your underwear
sharing cupcakes
quick smiles
taking silly/awkward pictures of yourself

There are women out there who feel that they need certain clothes or to wear make up to be pretty.  Yes, I do wear make up (less now) and I do [...]

big choices….

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I’m still sick.  … I’m not happy about it.  … I’m about five coughs away from calling up my old Chinese roommate and asking her for some dynasty approved cure… Seriously. I’m done with this.
ANYWAY….
I’ve had a lot to think about lately — more so than my despise for this virus running a muck through [...]

Barnyards, Barricades, and Balkans

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

So it’s the 4th Tuesday of the month… and normally I’d be at the studio by now for band practice. However, I’m obviously not there. The flu is stupid.
Missing band practice generally isn’t a big deal.  We meet twice a month and we realize that life happens.  But we’ve got a show next [...]

I wouldn’t mind…. : unemployed ponderings

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

So, in my lack of employment, I tend to find myself thinking about jobs and careers — oddly enough.
What sort of job do I want? Am I willing to do, just to pay the bills?  Do I want a job that could lead to a career, or just something for now?  Do I only want [...]

a frightening reality: I don’t want to leave.

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

I’ve gotten myself into a situation.
I don’t regret leaving my job at all.  It wasn’t a healthy situation for me, and I’d been having issues for a year before I finally quit.
However.  As it comes to it now… I may have to leave Chicago.
It’s so close to being reality, that I’m fighting back tears.  Chicago [...]

20SB vlog day!

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Okay.  So the 20SB vlog day is almost over. Almost.
This should really be posted on Fledgling Adult, but since that’s not ready yet… it’s going here.
Anyway.  Here goes…

This was created using FlipStudio on my DSi.
+500 awesome points to me.

the missing peace*

Continuing with the relationship thing…  I’ve come to a few conclusions.
I’m perfectly OK being single.
Being in a relationship does not change my self worth.  It does not necessarily make me a better person.  And it won’t necessarily make me a happier person either.  Some people can live an amazing part of their adult lives on [...]

just so you know, there are some awesome women here…

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Over the past few days I’ve spent a lot of time offline writing.  A lot of time writing inevitably means a lot of time thinking, a lot of time stuck in my own head.
So of course the boy and that situation, and basically all of the relationships and encounters and mess from the last 11 [...]

at a standstill, with myself.

Monday, August 10th, 2009

As much as don’t want to take away from Rachel’s guest post… I was going through my reader, and noticed this post from my friend Mawls.
“I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do.”
That’s sort of how I feel right now.  I mean, I’m not necessarily stressed about life.  I’m just not sure what the next [...]

we need a moment of your time…

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Today I’m posting this message, a very important message, for my friend Rachel. We’re spreading the word and we need your help too.
This is the most important post I have ever written.
I am asking for your help.
I need the help of my regulars, my lurkers, my scanners, my haters.
I need you to help me [...]
