A Life Less Ordinary

Well, I’m having my tonsils out tomorrow at 8a. I’m very nervous. They’re going to put an I.V. in my arm and I’m not sure I’m okay with that. The prospect scares the hell out of me. I don’t know why, but it does. And it doesn’t help that =EVERYONE= tells me that my throat…

Despite my best efforts, I’m not dead yet. I’ve been working my ass off this quarter (ergo few posts) while concurrently being sick with chronic tonsilitis. The result is that as soon as school gets out, I’m going to have my tonsils removed. Monday (the 19th) will mark two months of being sick. Yippee. I…

I’ve been sick since September 19 and no one can figure out why. Four doctors with 100 years of experience between them are all baffled. What the fuck? School is good. Morah is amazing. There is no way for you to understand our relationship unless you’ve had a friend like this before, and chances are,…

My apologies for taking so long to write another blog. To my surprise and delight I discovered that a number of people not only read my blog, but actually (and I quote) “need my fix!” The reason is that the Internet here at school blows. It’s really, really slow. Plus I’ve been quite busy. I…

Many interesting things have happened since I wrote that blog. My friend and I have since talked about things and we are on good terms again. I came down with tonsillitis and have begun taking Augmentin and Vioxx, so that’s fun. I am an orientation leader for freshmen here at Eastern Washington University, but none…

I realized two very important things last night. First, I’m afraid of children. My greatest fear is being a bad parent. I was at someone’s house and one of their friends came over who has a 3-year old son. While the kid was really cute, I found that I was nervous. I didn’t know how…

It’s been three days since I last blogged. The reason being that I’ve been at school. I decided that I was having so much fun hanging out with my friends when I helped my roommate move in, that I should just not go back home. And how glad I am that I didn’t stay at…

Wow. So much stuff has happened since yesterday that I’m not sure where to begin. Let’s see… I woke up yesterday feeling very alone. I plodded around the house trying to find something to do, but nothing engaging popped up. I saw Her online for the first time in about a week and felt compelled…

“I grew up in a county that contained Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard bases, so I am not foreign to the sites and sounds of war machines. But to see the Blackhawk helicopters hovering near my Soho home was disorienting. The garbage is piling up. NYC produces vast amounts of waste every…
