Those who know me well know that I am deeply, fervently, profoundly paranoid. When life doesn’t present me enough worries, I create my own.

Recently, I was struck by a sobering realization; I have hogged more than my share of the world’s romance.

It’s true! [...]

(Have you ever been in a doomed relationship? Have you ever been in a doomed relationship, yet convinced yourself things were peachy keen? This post from February 02, 2007 is a now-hilarious peek at top-notch denial and foreshadowing.)

Flashback: Six Things About Miss Beck

(An old Myspace post from June 9, 2006. I have few souvenirs from that era, but this evidence suggests I haven’t changed. Curses!)

 

I’m being brutally forced to write six things about myself:

1. I love order and organization: My books are organized by subject, my shirts by style and [...]

Regarding Mr. Creosote

Monty-Python-Cover-Art

Tonight, I have been watching Monty Python: Almost the Truth while catching up on our mending.

As Ian wandered through the living room, I told him “this episode’s about The Meaning Of Life. Never saw that one, both of my sisters warned me it was too disgusting.”

Not half an hour later, [...]

Flashback: On Depression

(Another flashback to my younger, more truthful days days. Originally posted at 11:54 PM, July 26… 2007? 2008? The post was originally called “Emo-tastic.” Apparently I mock my own feelings even while confessing them.)

 

Tonight, I consumed more than a thousand calories of ice cream. This, in effect, negates all the working out [...]

5-2-2007 Shorn

(A flashback to May 4, 2007, two days after my first ever buzz cut. Classy, Myspace-style photo was taken immediately after the haircut.)

My hair is gone, suddenly. I’m adjusting to some changes:

1) Everyone in the world wants to to rub my head. On one hand, I love love love [...]

Ilia - bald

(Some internal pro vs. con debating, originally posted 5:19 PM Tuesday, May 1 2007.)

(Persis Khambatta as Lt. Ilia. Clearly not me.)

This will sound hopelessly obsessive, but it’s the truth: lately, I have found hair repulsive. Only one girl out of every 20 has hair that’s pretty enough to impress me, [...]

The Best Laid [Birthdays] of Mice and Men

Greyloon Package

On November, 30, 1984, Greyloon was born.

We have have been thick as thieves since age 12 or 13. Well, excluding that time I described her in my journal as a “boy crazy-slut.” This was unwarranted as we were both Mormon, homeschooled, and gravely lacking in slutty opportunites. Speaking of opportunities, living together as college [...]

Time Keeps on Slippin'
