Day by Day

I was restless at work, and wandering through my bookmarks. Saw this, and remembered the DM had emailed about possibly opening the old place back up, and figured I'd swing through and see what was going on. Lo and behold.... OD is back. It's been damn near a decade since I've written here, and......

I'm introverted, and highly sensitive. I've totally accepted both of these aspects of myself, but at the same time, they make me - uncomfortable. I'm trying to become more self-confident, too. Trying to feel more secure in who I am - every aspect of who I am, not just the ones that I think that&h...

OD Tracker Survey. Thank you for deciding to do this. This is an experiment to track a survey around OD. The reason I am doing this is simple. I thought it might be interesting to see for myself how far a survey could go round this site from this humble entry. It'll also be interesting…

So, I don't write that often, right? And I'm crazy about checking my notes, right? I noticed the unsigned note on my last entry that just said 'Awesome'. I noticed it especially since it was unsigned, and it was the last note. And cuz, you know, it kinda implied my crazy insane ass dreams (or&hel...

I've been having some of the most amazing, intense, vividly alive dreams ever for the last week or so. While it's always nice to have a fabulous bit of entertainment while asleep, a major downside is that - I don't really get a chance TO sleep. I slept for *thinks* 15ish hours on Saturday, and&he...

Being Clear About Desires Getting What We Want The best way to get what we want from life is to first know what we want. If we haven’t taken the time to really understand and identify what would truly make us happy, we won’t be able to ask for it from those around us or…

 I've been smiling and humming all day long to this song. It's infectious, and joyful, and it's a damn commercial. I *heart* learning. And it's infinitely adaptable to ANY situation. Try it. Next time something pisses you off, sing about it to this tune. Include the Boom De Yada's. It rocks.

I struggle with failing. With messing up, with not being 'right', or 'enough', or 'perfect'. I almost hate adding perfect there, because - I know I'm not perfect, and I don't really expect myself to be - but I'm horrified at the thought of letting others down.... Disappointment is my emotional Kr...

I don't think I look bad, really. A little frumpy sometimes, poor as a church-mouse other times, but I don't look BAD. I - I think that I manage my wardrobe in such a way that despite the fact that 70% of my clothes are well over 5 years old, I don't LOOK that bad.…

The awareness just hit me that I don't just collect books for myself. It's a very, interesting place, the inside of my head is, and I feel like I'm building a personal library. It's really not about the books - it's about the knowledge. I'm hoardingbits of pieces of knowledge - some random, some ...
