I'm drawing a blank on what to talk about.

Which is really sad, considering I only write about once a month.

So, since I can't think of anything to say, I'll do what I've seen a few people do and pimp my other pages.






Starting with, yes, MySpace.

Okay, I know that it's just about the worst designed site known to mankind. You'd think that...

So my birthday is July 14.

I used to be pretty much indifferent to my birthdays.

Even as a child, I didn't make a big fuss over it.

I mean, I liked getting cards and gifts.

But I never really felt like the day itself was particularily significant.

Some people would ask the lame joke-question, "Do you feel any older?".

I say joke-question, because no,...

Thank you! At least you are a dude and could maybe have babies well into your oldmanhood.
fullmoonkisses:
Hey! Thanks! I had a nice, quiet, sedate, 'I'm getting too old for this shit' type of birthday! 35 so I watched "The Departed" with a bottle of pink champagne and lots of cake! smile

SECOND ATTEMPT - STUPID SG WON'T LET ME EDIT MY ENTRY

I had a great time at the gala in Toronto.

As you know, I'm quite shy, and always get very nervous about attending big social events.

The evening started really well when I somehow managed to get a parking space literally right in front of the club.

(As an aside, the club, Stone's Place,...

I think it's not exactly good when half the staff are mooching around outside the store smoking like a horde of Jay & Silent Bob wannabes if you get my meaning. By the way incase I'm busy I'll say Happy Birthday now * salutes * smile smile

Warning!

This entry will be brief.

So if you were expecting my usual long-windedness, sorry.




I'm going away for a few days.

Then I'll be back for a few days.

Then I'm going away for a few more days.

Both times I'm going with my mom to Welland. My aunt and uncle are going away for a couple weeks, so my mom wants to spend...

I've gone on a bit of a shopping spree the last couple weeks.

Thank God for credit cards!

I have bought a whole lot of clothes.

Most of my existing wardrobe is clothing that was loose even before I lost over 100 pounds.

So between baggy sweatpants and baggy t-shirts, I looked pretty bad.

I've always dressed pretty casually, but even I realized I was...

The play is a very meta-theater, absurdist premiere, called Chair. About a Chair. About a play called Chair. It's all very Edward Albee. smile

I am so behind on reading peoples' journals.

I get into this problem of not being around for a few days and falling behind, and then there are so many to read that I put it off.

Of course, that just makes the problem worse.

Mind you, if I could be normal for a moment, I'd tell myself to not bother catching up, or at...

It should only be temporary....I haven't really decided though to be honest.

Okay, this girl I like keeps complaining that my blog entries are too long, so I'm going to try to keep this one short.

I don't know what the problem is though - I only write an entry every few weeks, so it's not like it's a daily essay.

But, just this once, I'll try to impress her with a short entry.

Not even sure...

Tee Hee! I remembered that I'd need to translate for non-brits smile

How did your conference go? It sounded awesome- you always say you don't do much, but being involved in something like that is really important. It rocks!

I'm currently pondering tkaing the laptop to Berlin (I'm freaked about going alone as is, never mind with expensive things to loose/break/have stolen...) so I might be able to update from there...

I miss him (my boy). It is horrible not being able to do anything, but he knows I'mthere for him. I just get periods when I get really frutrated... <sigh>.... and it's not like he would mind if I did go off with someone to just do the fucking thing, but I would feel awful about it.

Complicated.

I just crave.... I think I crave the craving thing, you know? We have lots of good fun sex, but I want something more intense... Maybe it's the 9 year itch?

OMFG... I have known him for 9 years.... in July I will have been WITH him for 9 years....

I just freaked myself out

eeek
pinkraindrops:
No, please do. I'm sorry I haven't been responding, I'm just spacey. I usually pop on to check what's going on thinking "I need to respond to people..."

You are one of the people I would like to keep in touch with, and I promise I'm better on Myspace!

I meant to post an entry last week, but then I went to a meeting out of town, and as soon as I came back, I got a cold.

Still have it, poor me.



Happy first anniversary to me for my membership at SG.

Hardly seems like a year.

I won't bore you with yet another description of how much I enjoy this place, suffice...

"My name is Trevor, I am genuine."

That there is the single, most important thing not only in the ad, but in life. You are able to look at yourself without rose-tinted glasses on and still you allow yourself to just be you, and not only is that appreciated by all of your friends, it will be for a special lady.

Yeah I stay in Toronto during the week while I am at school simply because I don't drive and the bus routes are stupid. This year I probably could have managed it- especially during this semester, but I didn't know what my schedule was at the time that I had to make a decision, so I played it safe and decided to stay again.
lalayla:
Well...Im still feeling very depressed lately, but I have my habits more under control, and Im getting back up to speed in my school work.

My issue at the moment is jealousy. I dont know if you saw my post in the depression group, but I went on a little rant about being paranoid about my bf. I find out that he has a friend who is a girl and I freak out. I dont want to, but I do. Every moment that I dont know where he is, I worry he is with her. I dont even expect him to cheat on me, I just get very intimidated by other girls and honestly dont even want him around them if they are better than me in any way. I felt pretty confident and secure with myself for awhile until this came up and it crushed me. These are the kinds of things I dont tell my therapist but my goal is to tell her next week. I dont know if I will cause I dont want to cry, but I have to remind myself that shes seen plenty of people cry and her opinion of me doesnt even matter.

Oh and he has been going out with his friends a lot lately, something he never used to do. I complain that he never goes anywhere with me, and he AND one of his friends tell me I need to find some friends. Fuck you, right? I prefer only having a few good friends, and theyre all out of state right now. Im not going to make new friends in the meantime.

Oh, you had asked me why my sister is so unhappy. This is a long story that I will try to summarize. First of all, we come from a family with a history of depression and anxiety, and we both have had those problems most our lives. Our dad was a drug addict, very emotionally abusive. My sister lived with him much longer than i did. I wont get into that too much, but its important background info. Anyways, she gets married and has a kid at 19. He has autism. He is now seven, he doesnt speak, the public school system is crap and he is not getting the services he needs. His father was an asshole who was even worse than my dad in terms of emotional abuse, so my sister went through that whole thing again, they divorced, and he still tries to tell her how to raise their son (though he doesnt do it himself!). My sister has a billion things that overwhelm her each day, and mentally, she cant handle any of it. Shes depressed and she has panic disorder. that basically sums it up. Shes my best friend and it drives me insane that I cant fix her problems. I know that we think in the exact same way, so I know how she feels about everything that happens to her, and I have no idea how to help her. I also feel guilty because I have a much better life than her, not just because I didnt get married and have a baby, but our parents did better with me. I got all the opportunities in life that she did not.

How can medication for acid reflux cause it get considerably worse, instead of better?

I'll be asking my doctor that next week.



In other news, I had a spurt of activity lately with my volunteer activities.

I'm on the board of directors for a small non-profit mental health agency. We had to hire a new Administrative Assistant, and I was on the hiring committee.
