• A Corrosive Fairytale

  March 30, 2013

  In a Grimm turn of events, both of my crazy friends have managed to leave our friend circle in a blaze of glory. Ironically enough, they lit each others' fuses... Once upon a time, there was a girl who had a rougher childhood than most of us and a boy who had a rougher adulthood…

• WHAM!

  March 29, 2013

  It's that small moment of clarity that always hits you unexpectantly that I've been waiting for. The first one came 9 years ago when we dated the first time. I knew it was time to end it 11 months in, when it began storming and he wouldn't go dance in the rain with me. Since…

• You just DON’T know…

  August 5, 2012

  "You just know." This is one of those lines that seems absolutely absurd to me. Call me jaded. CAll me a cynic. I just don't believe in it.. I am one of those lucky few right brainers who was also blessed with the maddening gift of analysis. On most days, this skill serves me well.…

• Ignorance is someone else’s pain-in-the-ass

  April 5, 2012

  "TF shared a link!" I stumble across, while browsing down my ex's wall after replying to his invite to see his new band tonight downtown. Interestingly enough, this shared link happens to bear the same name as our old band...a name I came up with, by the way. I anxiously click on the li...

• When There Are No More Shoes to Fall…

  October 21, 2011

  I just spent the last hour looking over my past entries, having been recently reminded that I still have this diary, and realized that, unfortunately, I tend to write when I'm hurting. And only then. I'd like to find more words for good times. I'll make it a goal. But for now, I mu...

• How the burlesque show WASN’T

  March 25, 2010

  Had a fabulous girl's night planned to go see a burlesque show down the road. I was super excited. Picked out my outfit last night so I wouldn't have to waste a ton of time after work happy hour. Confirmed with everyone what plans were. Here was the result: Friend one: 1:30pm this after...

• This Black Hole

  March 22, 2010

  Why is it that I can't spend more than an hour by myself without freaking out? I am an introvert by nature, in the direct meaning of the word...meaning I draw my energy from internal sources and tend to be drained by crowds. That said, I am also a very social person. I am an…

• On the Road Again…

  March 19, 2010

  Somewhere between the monotonous miles of Mississippi and the hectic highways of Houston, it clicked. I found a moment of calm that lasted for more than 3 seconds and I feel more stable and more secure. It could have been a number of things but it's likely a combination of them all...

• Thou Shalt Not Spill

  March 11, 2010

  Love, and other such related terms, is a liquid. I've decided this after studying matter with my 3rd graders. Liquids take the shape of what they're in....and spill all over the place when taken out of said container. I am spilling. But I will not be sad this week. I will not be broken. I…
