The Edge of Seventeen- indie film #11 in Independent Film-2016
Now with edit I found this in my draft box from 01/05/17 (even though i saw it before 2017) and never posted it. Oh well, here ya be. Now that i think on it, i was not far off my mark to see one ...
Firecracker in Random Thoughts
This morning’s text has me wiggling in my seat, “I know i would much rather be fiddling around in your drawers than whatever it is i am actually doing.”
like kids in Random Thoughts
TMI entry: forewarning, this entry has sexual content Like kids: me (so very close to 40) and he, 47…woke in the middle of the night- his first night ever sleeping in my bed- to that lust. The in...
You know that feeling in Random Thoughts
The one where you don’t want to say goodbye and you want to adjust your plans to see that person again? I am out of town next weekend and won’t see Ian. I feel like my brain is taken up by him. I...
anxiety~paranoia~lightness in Random Thoughts
Its good to write directly after i see my therapist. As i was driving home, a few thoughts were bubbling up because today was a more emotional session. Often now, and definitely in the past, i’ve...
Manchester-By-The-Sea (#1) in Independent Film- 2017
As we sit, Ian says he is entering the land of his people (especially the accent). I seem to love the east coast men who transplanted westwards 20 years ago. I feel like i am still processing th...
the honest light in Random Thoughts
morning, the light i love the most. i don’t want unnatural light to get in the way of basking in the honest morning light. What brings you joy? Morning light brings me joy. in multiple areas i’v...
Like 9 months in in Random Thoughts
The last three times that Ian and I have scheduled dates, it’s been on snow or ice days. We’ve ended up at his place, exploring one another’s bodies and watching movies. We were talking the othe...
willingness, compassion, clarity in Random Thoughts
I am amazed at how many different, perhaps conflicting, emotions can be felt at one time. In therapy yesterday i explained how i felt in regards to my mother’s death. still calm sometimes walkin...
The Fits- indie film #10 in Independent Film-2016
I was woefully neglectful in my indie film goal. Well, not too bad. I am finally writing about the tenth film. I actually saw this one on Amazon Prime. I don’t have the energy or inclination to ...
In spirit in Random Thoughts
“Holding you close from a ridiculous distance” Some people have such a way with words… (And it’s not me this time) My mom passed suddenly last night. The interventions were not working (getting ...
vainglorious in Random Thoughts
oh. what a word. Lately when i’ve gotten some doozers from word of the day emailed to me, i’ve shared with Ian thrasonical- boastful; vainglorious (he woke the next morning and opened a book to ...
graveyard explorations in Random Thoughts
”You couldn’t drive three hours to Seattle, but here you are climbing a graveyard fence.” Sh’nownigans, revisited on a non-snow day. I don’t think i will see Ian for like 2 or 3 weeks now, becaus...
post-apocolyptic train station in Random Thoughts
the last bits of my dream are slipping away, so i will start with the end and move back. My final words as i woke, “I need to be frank with you,” (he inserts a poor pun, which i love) “The lifest...
snow day in Random Thoughts
Today is the second day in a row that every school district in the area cancelled school. I think it was unnecessary, but i haven’t seen what other parts of the city look like. Now, yesterday’s s...
last vestiges of trailer trash, re in Random Thoughts
i;ve included part of my previous entry here My sister and i have been dealing with health issues with our mom. She lives in CA with her bother and has COPD. Her health has deteriorated to the po...
we are all waiting/last vestiges of trailer trash in Random Thoughts
for the snow. Who knows if it happens. One of my favorite phrases to use for the unexplained is “its magic”… but in no way do i feel that about meteorology. It seems like the news is just trying ...
arrival- (not quite) indie film #9 in Independent Film-2016
We have arrived. In a space requiring backs of hands barely touching foreheads and lips on shoulders my feet tucked under your thigh Ian and i met downtown portland to see a matinee showing of Ar...
waiting for a sign from you in Random Thoughts
not really, though. i stayed home today from work, took a personal day. Ian and i were jokingly calling it my “leisurely naughty” day. Date day tomorrow. 2:45 tomorrow we are meeting downtown p...
please fill out this field in Random Thoughts
“Oh i do miss the old style pharmacy.” “I do believe there is one on Sandy Boulevard. If movie goes well. And then quiet corner pinball in the near future. After that perhaps a malted milk.” le s...
on the subject of in Random Thoughts
dreams, here is a weird one from last night I am with my friend Kari and her husband Cam. We are headed to her boyfriend’s house, she is very excited to introduce me to him, she is totally smitte...
dream of consent in Random Thoughts
The other night i had a (nerdy is what Jamie’s wife called it) dream about consent. It’s a little explicit and definitely funny. A guy (someone i know but wouldn’t be in this situation with) was ...
nervous vs caffeine in Random Thoughts
“All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.” JRR Tolkien I took a version of the Meyers...
getting my fill in Random Thoughts
I had ideas for a journal entry as i left therapy this morning. Ah. Here it is: sitting with it. but i already titled my entry, though as of yet there is not connection to the content. sitting...
The big take back in Random Thoughts
I just made that up, i am not sure what “the big take back” really is. I had this vague thought about an event here in Portland called the Slut Walk, basically a “transnational movement of protes...
