I feel about as articulate as a caveman tonight. My mental environment is clouded. I’m having a hard time coping now that I lack the clear but hectic path that school provided, paved with hard deadlines. There are now no clear obligations, just overwhelming options. The presence of Merle is a confounding factor. She was almost indifferent on Sunday, the effect of two months apart. Tonight she announced that she doesn’t want to leave. She strokes my ego in unusually satisfying ways. I’ve missed having a woman around. She infuriates me. Maybe I’m too kind and affectionate. She has reattached. We’re doing lots of stuff. I am pure evil.

I see you have a love/hate relationship with this girl. Kinda like I do with my laptop. Heh. Notice I put up a bug photo today?

Oh my. Y’all have your claws in one another again. I say if you feel the same way which you did/have been/do (?) after she’s left, do it while you two are apart and there’s some distance, and while you can. You’re too good to be in such a flawed relationship, and whatever Merle thinks right now, there’s probably someone better suited to her, too (not to hurt your ego, I trust you know what I mean). There I go again, spouting off my big mouth my with my big damn advice. Take it or leave it, like I said before.
As for my situation, I’m a recovering alcoholic and I relapsed this weekend. It wasn’t pretty, and I’m quite shaken right now. I don’t talk about it explicitly at my blog b/c there are a few people (in my real life, from work) who read and don’t know I’m in recovery. I need to get a new Xanga, b/c it’s very important for me to talk about and the biggest thing in my life. On the other hand, it may bore eevryone to tears so maybe it’s better this way. Thanks for asking.

That is one of my favorite quotes. I change the quotes from time to time and haven’t had this one up there for awhile. I found it on a small frame and it is what motivated me to quit my very challenging and somewhat unsatisfying job 7 months ago.
Here’s one from him from an Irish wit and humor book…”Tis an old maxim in the schools that flattery’s the food of fools yet now and then your men of with will condescend to take a bit.” I still like the other one better.

Oops, that was, “your men of wit”, not “your men of with”

Luckily, I have a caveman fetish.
And it’s ok if buying things does’nt make you feel better; it’s more of a female thing, I guess.

having an abundance of options can be both incredibly liberating and simultaneously frightening. be comforted in the fact that you probably will not irreparably screw up your life with any one choice that you make. things usually have a way of working out.
