~Octopussy~ ⋅ 40
Just an American living Bangkok and writing about all the inappropriate things that I somehow get roped into joining... I've been writing in blogs since 1999, so I'm fairly inconsistent. Sometimes I write a lot, sometimes I have nothing to say for months at a time, but I'm never gone, so just be patient and something new will come around.
The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time

A Deeper Love in Things That I'm Grateful For
I read recently about the questionnaire compiled by a psychologist to help people determine compatibility in romantic relationships, and so I figured that since there are so many nonsense surveys...
I don’t want to say I turned over a new leaf, which would not be accurate because I went to another one of those insane sex parties, but I’ve become much more selective about who I socialize with...
Last night was random in ways I wasn’t sure I was prepared for… I had decided I was going to have a nutty night out because I spent nearly all of November in a holding pattern. I’d finished week ...
Hebdomadal in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write
Well, I got through my first week. I say “got through” but in reality it was fine. Yes, every class there was some problem, usually with the technology or some other thing that nobody in leadersh...
Neon in The Song Remembers When
I was very depressed when I was young. I experienced way too much death too quickly and it was overwhelming me, emotionally, and honestly, looking back, I don’t think I really ever stabilized. On...
Kiss in Things That I'm Grateful For
So the day finally arrived. He’s been talking about it since we first met about 2 years ago, back when producing his series was just a dream for him. Ark was always telling me he wanted me to do ...
Now What in Things That I'm Grateful For
So I’m sitting alone in my office for the second day in a row now at a complete and utter loss. I’m not so naive as to not realize that I have a giant office, even if I have to share, my half of ...
Last night, I went to the 8th anniversary of Luka, a super trendy restaurant in the fancy part of town. The owner invited me and I was very surprised Bane didn’t show up. Bane has been vying for ...
I know it’s been a while considering I was in a good rhythm for a while, but I did something that had huge consequences and I did not really think about it in advance which caused me to spend alm...
What has been the highlight of this past week? Last night I was on a date and it was incredibly boring, he was gorgeous but had the personality of a rice square. When he finally left, the guys at...
Worship God in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write
The other night Bane took me to see a live music show. I was a little hesitant for two reasons. The first being that I’m very picky about live music, and Bane’s taste in music wasn’t exactly in l...
I Deserve It in The Song Remembers When
When Music first came out, I remember my blood going cold when I first heard this song. In the context of the album, it comes after three absolutely brain-melting electronica songs, over-produced...
Idle Vengeance in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write
So I was out last night to go to an event, more on that in a minute, and stopped to eat KFC… because I have weird cravings for mashed potatoes… when I looked out the window and saw Ark smiling ba...
I chatted with my mother and Chuckie this morning. I called because I had been asking her to send my bank card to me, as well as my Halloween costume. As I expected, she’s been procrastinating it...
Dodgeball in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write
I did something rather surprising the other day. In fact, I can’t think of another point in my life where I’ve ever made that choice. At the time, it didn’t seem that momentous, but in hindsight,...
Nothing More in The Song Remembers When
I used to post so many music entries, but I’ve pretty much stopped listening to music entirely. I think it’s actually something I saw coming. I remember growing up, my grandmother never listened ...
As I was reading Charlize Theron’s comments about aging and getting older, I had a sudden realization about my friendship with Bane. Most of it came to light after reading an entry of mine from 2...
I was cleaning out my computer and I found all my back entries dating back to 2003 up until shortly before I started here. I spent the last few days going back and reading entries at random, and ...
Dream Some in Things That I'm Grateful For
My former professor, a great friend and mentor, sent me a message a few mornings ago. She told me that she had had a dream about me. I must be honest, I don’t receive messages like that very ofte...
Richard does nothing but send me 10+ Instagram Reels videos a day. It drives me absolutely nuts. I mean, I adore him (I’m glad we’re not close in proximity any longer because we’ve definitely div...
I was out with Bane the other night. I’d somehow gotten tricked into going out when I really didn’t want to. He had a friend visiting from Bali (I’m still not completely sure how they knew each o...
I am finally back at work. We had a six day weekend… that’s right. Read that again. I was off from Friday to Wednesday. I know for some of you that is a dream come true, however I felt like I was...
It’s been such a weird month. I looked around at everything happening and thought to myself, something has to be in retrograde like Mercury or Venus or the 5th House or whatever this stuff means…...
I just finished a corporate gig teaching English at an import company here in Bangkok. I’m sitting at this incredibly fancy restaurant, having an overpriced drink and just wondering about things....
Frankie invited me to his show a few weeks ago. Usually I try to stay out of the ballroom scene here because I feel it really isn’t my scene, but Frankie was going to DJ for the first time, so I ...
