Right. I actually do know why that song is stuck in my head. we descend so easily/and give it up for short-term memory/fight your nature if you can/and hope for heaven where we land This is about taking an action that is comfortable and indulgent instead of doing what’s (more than likely) best. This is […]

Now that I painstakingly listened to a few blurry lyrics over and over to get them perfect for that last post, I am reminded that it really drives me nuts when artists don’t post their lyrics on their websites. Yeah, I know there are a ton of lyrics databases out there, but they’re almost always […]

Cuddle Guy, if you’re out there… you can kiss my hand any time you like. 🙂

It’s been a little too long since I’ve posted, so I’m going to attempt to sum up the last couple of weeks in brief(ish) impressions. — Was at Valley Fair in the food court. Watched a couple of teenage girls eat what looked like McSushi. Listened in on the chat about how one girl’s ex […]

I have to share this snippet of an IM conversation I just had: Friend: how are you doing? Bonkskeeper: pretty well, thanks! Bonkskeeper: went tango-ing last night and it was fun Friend: it’s fun to watch Tango…looks scarey to do Bonkskeeper: it’s not really scary… unless your leader really sucks Bonkskeeper: and even beginners generally […]

I was going to write about how I feel about something horrible happening to my best friend. But it’s not about me. Bear, you know I love you, and that I’m here in whatever way you need me. Currently, “here” is work. I was going to bitch about work. Instead I am going to spend […]

Nowhere near enough. So tonight I hopped on TurboTax to see how bad the slaughter was going to be. …drumroll please… […]

Tonight a circle was closed. And it was a Good Thing TM. ;P To be honest, it’s less of a circle, and more like a swing-out. Do it forward the first time, and then finish by reversing it. Safe-Dancing-Guy and I talked. It was a version of the first time we went out together in […]

…how much I love dancing?????? I had such a good time tonight. I’m pleasantly tired, and expect I’ll get some good sleep. I also have a fantastic baguette sandwich (ham and brie — sooooo healthy ;P) from this new French restaurant that just opened near where I teach. Oh simple pleasures 🙂

Ok. So I’m not exactly drunk. But I’m at least tipsy enough to have to concentrate a bit on typing. I am empty. Yes, it’s partially (mostly) because I’ve stopped dating safe-dancing-guy and I’m already noticing a hole in my life. But also it’s that we had a Thursday Debauch tonight. With people that are […]
