The million dollar date has been had, and lo, it hath failed. As I said on Twitter: To recap, I didn’t like him but I’m kind of annoyed that he didn’t like me. I did wear a piece of arugula on my boob for part of the date, until he pointed it out, so maybe [...]
I had a great day with Lieu today, and that’s the problem. All the time I spend with him is good for me because I love him; I get to be near him, and smell him, and hug him hello. And in a way, I get to relax; I’m the quietest version of myself with [...]
(via Crime and Federalism) I’ve talked a little bit here before about my experiences with crime–most notably here, where the story of The Pervertrater is told, and here, where I discuss the events surrounding the shooting. What I haven’t talked much about is how I feeeeeel about crime, and how I feel is this: angry. I used [...]
To recap, Lieu broke up with me, but subsequently received some bad news that caused me to suspend my plan to not see him again as long as he is refusing to put out. Since then, we’ve been talking almost every day and seeing each other once a week or so. Suddenly, he is all [...]

The air is humid and smells slightly of beer, and the music is too loud. Everyone is white. This is the combination that screams LEISURE to the [...]
Last week, my sister went for a hike up a mountain near Ojai, California. She went by herself. Mind you, this is a very independent, 33-year-old woman who lives by herself in a rough area of a major city. She walks her dog there, goes out to eat and walks herself home, etc. She’s traveled [...]
Big news this week, besides the fact that I am dying of bronchitis, is that I’ve been accepted into an accelerated bachelor’s degree completion program in Philadelphia, starting in January. I’ll still be living in DC, but commuting to Philly every Friday night and attending class from 8-5 on Saturdays. A good friend of mine [...]
I have (very) part-time custody of a big, neurotic, snuggly brown dog. I also have a cold. Both the dog and the cold are staying with me this week, disrupting my insular, mostly selfish life. I can’t pamper myself as I would like to, because I have deadlines at work and no backyard and the [...]
