I had a wonderful weekend with Shael, and now he's gone again. I can't wait until I'm back at school where we can be together when we want, and if we're not, we know the other is just down the road. Ahhh, love. It's a great thing.

Thanks for the condolences everyone. I'm doing fine, pretty relieved actually that it's over and that Hobbes doesn't have to live in pain anymore. He was possibly the best cat ever.

I climbed Mt. Eisenhower yesterday. It's the first 4,000 footer I've ever done. It's about 4,760 feet high and about a 3 mile hike up. For someone with bad knees, I'm not sure it...

It's fascinating how a new significant other can affect someone. I went out with my friend Joe and his boyfriend Steve tonight. They've been together for a while now, but I hadn't met him until now. He was a really great guy. Very polite and funny. Before Joe came out (junior year of high school) he was angry and obnoxious. When he was ready to...

Shael left yesterday. Why is it that suddenly I am unable to be happy without him around? I used to spend my time away from him, doing my own thing, looking forward to the next time I saw him. Now, I'm just miserable. I feel like all my time is split between being with him and being away from him. Happy or sad, one extreme...
