Tonight I had many interesting conversations.
One of which was with the colleague of the guy I have been seeing who mentioned how indecisive he was. Well, yes, obviously. She then went on to say that I could do better than that, and if he was smart he would make a decision and “ride my coattails” to the amazing things I’ll do.
(I am paraphrasing, but it was nice to hear—-especially from her, being someone I’ve...

Nervous. 650 word flash fiction piece about a boy’s first lie (but it is not written for children per their instruction).

One hell of a compliment.
The other day I reminded someone I was “little.” As in 20, not 27 - like him. As I was in a room with people ranging from 22 - 32. He said he forgot I was 20, but he stopped thinking I was little after Sanibel. I asked why? He said it in this funny tone, sexual almost. He said he would explain another time.
I got curious tonight and went ahead and asked via text.
The reply:
“I...

I feel like I won.
Now, this is silly. It was never a competition, actually. At times it felt like that, but that was about two years ago. Really it was mostly just stupid comments that hurt more than they should. But, ultimately, that seems to be what every relationship is made up of. Still—-she made it feel like one. And now I feel like I won.

At first I was rather disappointed that EagleNews would choose to publish this. However, it is an opinion piece, and thankfully protected by the 1st amendment. Do I believe in the freedom of the press? Well, absolutely. So, I do believe in protecting this author’s right to publish freely—-even if it is total rubbish. Seeley should be quite thankful for this right to have an opinion....

Reese thanked me, made comments about bureaucratic systems and how we are the first university to implement the...

Dan Brown is a shitty writer.
I stupidly joined okcupid for less than a week.
I rarely responded to anyone. I did recently respond to someone who messaged me (a very generic message, which obviously went out to multiple people), but hey, I’m a glutton for punishment. Plus the fact he was a middle school English teacher and listed Dan Brown among his favorite writers made me cringe. I wanted justification for this. Then,...

The last 24 hours have been splendid.
This time last night I was watching The Social Network. Loved it. Then, I took a hot bath complete with bubbles and salts. Upon getting out I had an IM, which resulted in over three hours of chatting via facebook and phone with someone awesome. AWESOME night of sleeping. Then Panera for lunch, and I ended up spending 9 hours with Dane past scheduled (which was awesome too ;) and I snuck a lovely...
