Depth of My Sorrow

As a writer I carry my words in my pocket like some sort of mystic. They are easily accessible, allowing me to draw on my powers in times of need. But these past two weeks, my powers have been useless. In times where I need my amulets the most, I am left with two rather [...]

if ye dare

i just watched the blasted pirate movie and i mostly loved the whole thing. that last battle scene got a little long and i think i might have napped for a moment. despite that, i think i’ve developed a new pirate fetish. aye matey! who’s gonna be my first mate?

animal treasures

i would just like to announce that Animal Treasures is now my second favorite girl scout cookie after the think mints. peanut butter patties could not be reached for comment, sources close to the cookie say it’s in a room quietly weeping over this sudden dethronement.

jarred

sometimes you learn something that totally jars out of place, and suddenly you’re floating 10 feet above your head and just starring off in wonder. today i learned that the outlaw was married (you have to read through the comments to get the full scoop). i am stunned. and suddenly so thankful that things turned [...]

group

i went to my first writer’s group meeting today. it fucking rocked, and on so many levels. i mean we got together and talked a little about books and what not. then we talked about the stories two of us had written. and i just loved it. even though they are pointing out problems with [...]

another convert

on the way to lunch this afternoon jess told me that “Come Feel Me Tremble” was her new favorite CD to workout to. she said she just loved every single song on the disc. and it was everything i could do not to scoop her up and squish i was so happy.

the snuffleupagus

my body tossed up the white-flag sometime around 9:30 last night, and i think together we died some sort of tiny death. i had a headache, a stomachache, and the knife in the back was still throbbing quite noticeably. but then i woke up this morning, after sleeping like a rock from 10-7:30 this morning. [...]

new guy update

maria just stopped by to tell me that she had a very pleasant run-in with “the nearly 7-foot new guy.” of course, i have yet to lay eyes on him. but maria tells me he’s rather nice. of course, everyone has to report to me whenever they spot the new guy.

a case of the februaries

february started out bad with the double-whammy of psycho-co-worker calling followed by the wretched ignoring at the art opening, and now it’s going out even worse with day after day of badness. my face has forgotten how to smile, and i’ve lost all any sense of gratefulness i had. my back is tied in knots, [...]

where i fumble for words

my co-worker who lost her baby after carrying for five months, was back at work today. we had a meeting where she laughed with the rest of us. as we were standing in the hall afterwards, she leaned over to me and jess and said quietly, “thank you for the flowers.” “you’re welcome,” i said. [...]

cookie day

today is girl scout cookie day. there’s a box of thin mints sitting here with my name on it. tonight i have big plans of going home and crying my eyes out over my apparent worthlessness as a human being and then eating some cookies. hopefully tomorrow is a much better day.
