Purpose, Part 2.
I woke up feeling more relaxed than usual. My girls aloof at the foot of my bed. Their state of complete laziness made me realize just how much tension there has been since Alice was introduced...
The Battle of the Four Cats.
Been about four weeks since Alice adopted me. I’d say it’s her fault, but it’s not all her fault. Thing with Alice is that she is super friendly and naive. And so far, hasn’t picked up on a nu...
Sleep Anxiety.
My anxiety is pretty bad, but it’s probably worst at night. When i’m trying to fall asleep. I call it non-specific anxiety, because I’ll just be laying there, trying to clear my mind, and I’ll ...
Temporal Mechanics.
The day to day seems to go so slow. Then I look at the calendar, and I wonder where the time went. Things could have gone so much differently this year. Almost a month since I got my fourth ca...
Go the Distance.
I feel like maybe I didn’t read enough in my Open Diary days. There is so much unrest now. So much sadness when I scout to see how other writers are doing. It makes me wonder if it was there a...
On Thin Walls.
It is typically a negative phrase. I reckon I like being able to hear my neighbors. I used to prefer silence when trying to sleep. I think it shifted when an ex had to have a fan on at night f...
Classical Conditioning.
So anyway, my fourth cat is rather vocal. Alice is a stray who adopted me about two and a half weeks ago. And by vocal, I mean she meows all the time. The only way she stops meowing is if I pa...
En Español.
So anyway, a coworker commented today that I speak a lot of Spanish. I had a massive moment of reflection, as I didn’t even realize I do it. Working with hispanics, it’s a habit to speak Spanis...
Aragorn.
I love when I come across video essays that make me think and feel. For a long time, my three male heroes have been Spock, the Fonz, and Weird Al. My stock line has been that they reflect aspec...
On Cats.
About two weeks ago, Alice adopted me. I say she adopted me because she literally just walked in my apartment like she owned the place. I apparently was identified as Daddycat. FEED ME. PET M...
On Menstruating Beasts.
Just ordinary women, living out their lives. (Shout-out to trans folk dealing with same but on a different level.) Ooze? Drip? Trinkle? Definitely not a gush. I wonder if it would be easier ...
My Favorite Joke.
I generally use this joke to gauge whether someone can handle me. Because it is kind of me in a nutshell. You think its offensive, but then it turns into innocuous and silly. I have a coworker...
On Passwords.
I have noticed that in movies, guys are generally teased for writing down their passwords. Someone is trying to do something on their computer, so they say “I bet they wrote down their password....
On NaNoWriMo.
Month of November, write a 50k short novel. That’s it. Website for the uninitiated: https://nanowrimo.org/ If I’ve written on what I’ve learned from NaNoWriMo, well, whatever, I’m a few years o...
On Covid, probably Part I
Somewhere between “Kill’em all and let God sort them out” and “Quarantine forever until this goes away!” And “We can’t let our small businesses die.” And “Karen, can you wear a facemask for two s...
Toxicity.
Common logic seems to be to cut ties with those that are toxic. I get it. They are not helping your psyche, nor can you help them. So, you let them go. So I dub thee toxic. Thou art toxic. Wh...
NanoThoughts.
Ah Music. Yes, Capital M. With all my cyclic thoughts and feelings, I tend to be careful, as the last thing I want is a song stuck in my head at the end of the day. Even a song I like. I rememb...
On Happiness.
Or HA, PENIS! If you prefer. I was going to write an entry on alcoholism and depression, but as I was prewriting in my head, the preface of the types of happiness seemed to be a bit long-winded ...
Terms of Engagement.
I think I forgot the value of such a forum. Romanticizing, and then remembering how toxic the chasing of attention is, especially in a world obsessed with likes. But the virtue is there. I quiet...
1461
Holy Heh-Zeus, that’s a lot of unread bookmarks! I have so much to say, yet I’m still so scared to speak. Been utilizing my old journal. You know, pen and paper. Helps a bit, but there’s a pla...
Credibility.
Noon: Feed the child half a can of chicken noodle soup. Says she is full. 2 PM: Says she is hungry. Tell her to wait until dinner. 4 PM: Says she is hungry. Tell her to wait until dinner. 7...
Tomboy.
So, the 7 year old was complaining that someone called her a tomboy. Because she was doing “boy things”. I told her there’s no such thing as boy things or girl things. Just kid things. Boys c...
Sigh.
I didn’t want to agree with her. But, I fear we are heading towards the end-times. I’m atheist, so I’m not concerned with religious shit. Tashy has a point. Our last President was black. And...
Oh yeah.
Should probably annotate that Tashina and I got back together a week and half ago. I’m flying down to Oklahoma centering around New Year’s. Excited? Oh yes.
How do you people?
I feel like I’m still five years old again. I “outgrew” being shy, but only in the sense I risk shooting my mouth off. Saying something that embarrasses me. I don’t think I’ll ever figure out soc...
