Luis and the new blanket

In: Connections, Contemplation

I met Luis in 1997.I felt his eyes on me as I shelved the History section in Borders. The conversation began easily. The immediate attraction lead to a quick roll in the sack. He liked my ass and my long, long hair. I loved his eyes and his wicked, mischievous smile. We smoked pot, and [...]

A long time ago in a South Florida, far far away, I went by the name “Q”. I was a regular in a few select chatrooms on AOL via accounts that were….uhm… borrowed. Throughout those years I met a lot of amazing people, did a lot of drugs, and laughed hard enough to make me [...]

How do you feel about your family? Not just sections of them, but all of them. Do they make you feel loved? Are they there for you? Do they celebrate your accomplishments? Are you in love with the idea of family more than the people themselves? Do they live up to your expectations? Do they [...]

After thought and consideration, I’ve decided that this site needs some honesty. I started blogging to find my own voice and I swim in the darker corners of myself in order to understand my own inner workings. If that elucidates a response from strangers and the known participants in my life - then that’s just [...]

I am sick. I brought back some mutant bug from Colorado and I feel like dried poop. The trip brought to light some of the less than wonderful aspects of my family, but it felt good to see them. I think more than anything I realize that we are not the unit we used to [...]

Finally spoke with Alexis last night. It doesn’t matter what kind of a mood I am in (I was in a great mood because I got an A on my midterm in N. Ren), she makes me happier. My sister is gleeful. That’s really the only way I can describe it. She’s gleefully stubborn. When [...]

I would love to take Bioshphere but it’s a Monday/Wednesday class and my Editing class is on that Wednesday. The Geosphere will be Tuesday/Thursday. I don’t know what the last class will be, but [...]

Lessons Learned

In: Connections, Contemplation, Links

This weekend taught me a few things about relationships, what makes me happy, and the idea of forgiveness. Our plans to see a movie with Frankie fell away because of a miscommunication between D and I. I wanted to spare Frankie the post-fight tension. Do you know what is really amazing? I don’t really know [...]

Via lines and wires

In: Connections, Happiness

I love ending my school-week with my Fiction workshop. It makes Monday’s bullshit less brutal. I’ve noticed that there’s a self-congradulatory nature to certain classmates, which is then reinforced by the professor. The interesting ones are the ones who are learning to write. They make my time go faster and I feel more productive.
I [...]
