I always found it strange and very telling that he had seen the movie of Fahrenheit 451 but not read the book. I had tried to convince him of the incongruity of this, but he had steadfastly held to the belief that only watching served him well enough. It was subtle differences like this; small ironies that werent shared that finally caused the end. Sometimes,...

I second StickyRice, Bradbury has been one of my greatest influences as a writer.
As for the difference over a book or movie, no I don't think that's any less reason to end a relationship, not if it a) forms a pattern, and b) reveals a deeper divergence between people.

I'm starting to think we all just suck at spending more than a couple years together. Once we decide we 'know' the other person it seems to slowly disintegrate, perhaps this is just the second law of thermodynamics at work. Still, we have the ability to be creative, and somehow I can't help but feel that the secret to getting along is in being creative and evolving... course I could also be completely wrong... 
I dont think that I have ever had it so across the boards that everything that I can draw strength from is causing me pain my friends, my family, my lover, even my physical body. Truthfully, Im pretty damn tired of trying to be strong and I want to collapse and cry for awhile. Luckily, it is raining so hard nobody will notice.
And what...

"I don't think it's cancer, so we won't biopsy just yet."

An autoimmune disease...

It explains so much...all these years
Incurable but treatable

Oh, man, what a time to start reading my friendslist journals again.
I hope hope hope you're doing ok. Treatable is good. I've got friends and family with Lupus, Chrons, and MS, and they're all doing ok -- but that doesn't mean that I don't wish every damn day that there was something I could do to help. I've punched a lot of walls. :-)
Treatable is good. You're so strong, and that's good too.

Last night I was inconsiderate to a good friend. I did the very common act of dropping a friend when my "boyfriend" came around. Yes, it is an old story - but one that could have been avoided with a simple "Can we talk in about an hour?" Because of course my limited time with my boyfriend is VERY important to me, but so are...

Aww, that's very sweet but entirely unnecessary. You'd have to do a lot worse than that to even get on my Top 10 list of rude people this week.

Every moment

I almost bought it thinking I would take it home, hang it in my office, possibly above my computer so I could be reminded. But something about the ink drawing that accompanied it seemed clumsy, and I wasnt sure that I...

kinda like this??
commonman:
Hmm, sexy emoticons . . .
Definitely
, I suppose
if that's your mood.
Or
for a different mood.
Definitely
in the right context.
But where's the happy penis emoticon? I think we need to have some discussions with the management.

The rain has settled in. Yesterday I came home from the market with three items: lotion (obvious), astroglide (don't ask) and WD-40 (really, really don't ask). Maybe, I am worried about rust.

If i didn't know better I would think that was written about me. I can almost see my friend Jen writing it or telling it to someone. Back before she gave up on me.
And of course I was wrong. And she was right. And I realized that far too late.
I hope he doesn't make that same mistake.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. But no-one spanked me.
Tell him it takes way to much energy to find the down side of everything. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and be happy.

Just now I was writing a list of things to get at the store. I was writing it on a blank sheet of paper that had been stapled to the back of an essay I had written, but had torn off to save paper so there were little staple holes at the top. As I put my pen down it...

Haha, that's great! I do that with my paycheck everytime I put it in my checking account. I swear I put em in there but everytime I look, there is no money in there.

Wow that's really strange!
If it were me I would start to doubt that I had written the words even though I KNOW that I wrote them.
Strange.

Strange.
That must be it ---> Currently, we are talking about the birth, live, and death of stars.. The whole mixing of everything, compression and ejecting of matter and particles into open space, convection.. The list does go on, doesn't it?
Sadly, I haven't seen this guy in a few days now, I think I have to start leaving a little earlier for class..
I wish I knew why my cramps got so bad this time around.
