The Path to Independence

2008-06-17T02:25:33Z

I find it difficult to try to explain to my parents the reasons behind my decision not to apply to graduate school next year. My plan has always been to continue my education after university. In more recent years I planned to do bedside nursing ...

On Marriage and Labels

2008-06-07T02:05:32Z

I have known for a long time now that I am not a fan of labels. In every relationship that has mattered to me (and I really only consider there being two, my high school 'sweetheart' and the boy), I have always disliked using the terms 'boyfriend'...

This morning I was reading a quote from Emily Gould on her experiences in the blog world and difficulties establishing boundaries. The thing that struck me most was that I used to be like that. When I was in high school, blogging (but we called i...

Denial

2008-05-19T20:05:47Z

I need to stop denying that SF and I are anything more than friends. Because we are everything more than just friends. The problem is, once I accept that we are more than friends, that he means more to me than just the possibility of hanging out ...

Leap of faith

2008-05-04T14:41:09Z

I am not quite conscious of my fear of being vulnerable to pain. I have this self-image of being strong and having an ability to leap head-first into relationships without fear but lately I have begun to doubt this idea. I caught up with my good...

Unpacking...

2008-05-02T04:14:06Z

And yes, I am moving back in with my parents. I am one of those college kids. Before and after: I enjoy the feeling of a clean room. I doubt you can see from these photos... but I got rid of a lot of stuff. I was a pack rat as a teenager. I hun...

Bummer

2008-04-28T04:29:03Z

I have spent nearly every waking moment of the past 3 weeks with SF, trying to cram in as many hours of hang time with him before he left for Europe... which he did today. And I'm trying not to be all Debbie Downer about it because we both knew it...

Awkward!

2008-04-23T15:15:20Z

So, I met SF through his ex. As in, while they were still dating, and while I was still with the boy, and things were good between all of us. I thoroughly enjoyed their company as a couple. They were great together. It was funny because the other...

QotD: Here's the Skinny...

2008-04-21T00:43:52Z

Have you ever been skinny dipping? Yes. My first time was two years ago when I went camping with my friends from high school... this was when I first discovered the glorious feeling of swimming naked. My most memorable time was skinny dipping ...

Relaxing

2008-04-19T21:01:49Z

I have been spending time with SF. And he is amazing in bed and I can't get enough of him, either in bed or just hanging out with him. I hope I am not jinxing things by writing about it in here. But I can't help it. We did it 4 times yesterday a...
