Oyeme

Maybe I’ve doomed myself to this adrift uncertainty that has taken hold in the last few days; I was already feeling a bit off, and then I went archives surfing for old pictures while simultaneously listening to some of the most powerfully evocative music in my multi-gig collection. The result? I’m drowning in a sea …

Welcome To Limbo!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life, it’s indisputably that I don’t really cope well with being in limbo. The in-between moments are where life is lived, but no matter how much I tell myself this, I nevertheless feel itchy and restless in the in-between bits. Even with my greatly increased maturity-inspired patience, …

Happy new year!

I don’t really believe in making new year’s resolutions, but for all practical purposes, my list of things to do in 2012 is working as a list of resolutions… and I’m okay with that. So here we go — subject to revision as the year progresses: Rock climbing — give ‘er a whirl!Groupon secured!  Figure …

Two songs for the day

Actually, here’s yesterday’s song of the day — a standby favorite from one of my favorite people in the whole wide world … but that I can’t listen to very often, as it completely rips me apart. But, yesterday was that sort of day. Thanks, Tim! And, today’s song of the day, as suggested by …

Trend spotting

Looking for trends in my behavior? I feel like it’s one of the more useful tools in my self-care arsenal. Those trends aren’t always comfortable to recognize or fun to embrace, but the net result is usually pretty helpful. Project Liz is progressing well, I think. While walking last night, though, I was spending a …

Found time!

I had a tutoring appointment this morning, but she overslept and didn’t show, so I find myself now with a bit of found time and thought I’d use a teeny bit of it engaging in some blogging. A few highlights from Project Liz: A couple of days ago, I bought my first-ever pedometer, and yesterday …

Project Liz

I talked elsewhere, in very vague terms, about Project Liz, but I’m feeling the need to talk about this some more … or maybe, given my overwhelming nausea in just thinking about posting this in a forum where someone else might actually READ it, perhaps I’m just feeling the need to write about it. I’m not sure. …

Bon anniversaire

Happy birthday to my ex-bff. It is so painful, still. I remain steadfast in my unwillingness to reopen that chapter of my life… because I know it would end in abrupt disconnection and deep, deep hurt, once again. Still, it hurts, and it sucks, and I miss having someone who knows me so well. Bon …

We’ll call this “healing.”

I dug this out of my e-mail archives today. It felt like it might need a more public airing than the original BCC to Derik. Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010, 2:23 a.m.I just got home from my whirlwind trip to DC. It was a loooong ass drive back… I didn’t get on the road until around …

I need to write about this.

I had an amazing dream last night, an epic love story involving one of my favorite people alive (and me). Mind you, this was not the first time I’ve had an epic-love-story dream about this man, but it has been a few years since the last one. So, it was probably time for another one. …
