It doesnt have to be make-believe. Entries by tag: friends. September 27th, 13:50. Emancipator - Hill Sighed. It's hard not to feel like a little bit of a drama queen for saying "I feel better" - it's not like I've been nonfunctional. Life has been fine, what with work and hanging out with friends, and even enjoying myself here and there. There's just been a cyclically encroaching-and-receding-and-reencroachi. Or me getting better at accepting things, or what. But I'll take it. End of aside.) My gut ...

It doesnt have to be make-believe. Entries by tag: moments. On the relative distances of apples and trees. January 13th, 21:49. This morning, I got a Facebook message from my mother:. Hi Ambrosia, Facebook now lets people choose a legacy contact to manage their account if something happens to them. Since you know me well and I trust you, I chose you. Please let me know if you want to talk about this.". Not thinking much of it, I responded with "We can if you want, but it seems pretty straightforward.".

It doesnt have to be make-believe. Entries by tag: birthday. The annual birthday update. July 15th, 2015. I always call my mom - that lady's super-cool! Happy birthday to me! I was going to post a video I found a while back, a parody of Taylor Swift's "22" for my current age: "Uh-oh, hey! I don't know about you, but I'm feeling thirty-two/Read Fifty Shades of Grey and kinda liked it too! It's been a good year, I think. I've made a number of social connections (and lost some as well, all of which were...

It doesnt have to be make-believe. Entries by tag: travel. Recipe: Swedish Meatballs a la Petra. August 30th, 12:07. When Brian and I went to Sweden to visit our dear friend Petra not long ago, we joked that we should go to IKEA and have meatballs just to be able to say we'd actually had Swedish meatballs in Sweden. Much to our surprise, Petra expressed almost violent disgust - "Those are fake meatballs! Note that a lot of the proportions are approximate - feel free to experiment! Not vegan, gluten-free,...

It doesnt have to be make-believe. Entries by tag: changes. The blog post I've been meaning to write. September 16th, 9:03. Hamilton - Wait For It (c/o KROZ). It's been a weird couple of months. Some weeks ago, a Facebook acquaintance pointed me at the connection between panic attacks and hypoglycemia. Short version, adrenaline is a sort of ugly hack (. As an aside, I was recently laughing in rueful recognition at. Originally posted at http:/ missroserose.dreamwidth.org/92665. July 25th, 12:55. Has shed ...

It doesnt have to be make-believe. Entries by tag: philosophy. August 1st, 2015. Some years ago, I was in a production of King Island Christmas. A somewhat idealized yet genuinely touching musical telling of a crisis that happened to a rural Alaskan island in the 1950s, and how the community overcame it. Its occurred to me before, often, that our (referring to Western, mostly white culture) attitude toward disconnections - breakups/divorces, rejections, firings/layoffs, deaths - is somewhat incomplete.

Alaska adventures, and pictures, and interstitial spaces - Paper Rose

It doesnt have to be make-believe. Alaska adventures, and pictures, and interstitial spaces. July 27th, 2015. While colorful hair is not unknown here, its somewhat rarer than it is in Chicago, and I thus get rather more comments when Im out and about. The other day, I heard a little girl in a shopping cart squeal She has pink hair! I nodded and agreed, yes, violet hair was quite common. When I told my acquaintances that I was going to Alaska for a visit, I received numerous exhortations to post lots of p...

It doesnt have to be make-believe. Entries by tag: books. Book Review: The Thirteenth Tale, by Diane Setterfield. August 17th, 10:57. Sometimes you come across a particular book that's exactly what you need to read at exactly the right time. And sometimes, you read a book and think, "Man, I wish I'd read this five years ago.". This is clearly a book written for book lovers, especially lovers of the sort of gothic English fiction that's become classic in the past century ( Jane Eyre. The Woman In White.

It doesnt have to be make-believe. Entries by tag: massage therapy. Business, busy-ness, and balance. January 28th, 10:44. My life looks very different now as compared to a year ago. And I put two and two together, took a deep breath, and almost broke down crying. Despite my dislike of the "high-tech disruptive food of the future! Notwithstanding. ("It tastes like watery oats and sadness! And I couldn't disagree. So perhaps I'll see if she wants to do another trade or two in the future. December 2nd, 2015.
