"Say nothing, why say it again?"

I've been letting the days go by again.

Anyone who actually has the attention span to watch me on SG knows that my orbit is about as slow as Pluto's.

An unfortunate side effect of mental health being its own full-time job.

There have been a few glimmerings of hope this week.

Exercise has a profound effect on my...

Sorry folks - I'm taking time off for an existential crisis.

I'm no paragon of SG participation, anyway, but I'm really not posting lately.
Life is very tumultuous for everyone I know right now - it must be in the stars somewhere.
My whole family is limping along with back, neck, leg, shoulder and other problems.
Some of them have moved in with me to...

Fuck me!
I am apparently a Thursday poster.
Ha!

I'm kind of bummed out today. (/me feels English majors stabbing him with forks)

I have a huge imagination. Always have.
I accidentally lived in it for a handful of years before realizing that Reality(tm) was different.
Not too much harm done. May have even saved my ass.

This imagination has a lovely erotic wing, and I visit there regularly, especially when my Significant Other...

A friend was talking to me last night about the subtle ethics of innocent-seeming questions people ask her as a massage therapist.
I was really stunned by the implications of seemingly simple and innocuous questions:

"Where are you from?"
"Are you married?"
"Do you have kids?"

It's hard NOT to pry when you have no idea about other peoples' lives, especially when they are living...

I wasn't supposed to stay up this late.
Heh, heh.

G'nite kids.

On a completely unrelated note, I just read the profile of someone who listed literacy as sexy.

Oh, hell yeah.

I'm proud to be a horrible snob about literacy, grammar, and proper spelling.

Poetry is hot; only mastering English to the level of an undiagnosed dyslexic fourth-grader is worse than having B.O. and an annoying laugh.

I'll be stripped naked, sensually reading Nabokov if anyone...

ALIVE!!! I'm ALIVE!!!

I just got over two weeks of lung dysfunction almost bad enough to warrant hospitalization.
In case you've never tried it, DON'T - not being able to breathe well is a serious drag.
And toting around 3 inhalers to reinflate yourself gets old - but it doesn't get old nearly as quickly as not breathing

I still don't get that happy oxygen...

I should so be working my ass off right now, but I so prefer being on SG.

Who wouldn't rather look at pinups than write verbose engineering test plans?
[ Don't answer, you sick bastards. ]

It wouldn't be so bad if I had my IV drip of coffee running, but caffeinating this late at night is like taking out a payday loan. By next...

Up until now, I haven't been able to figure out what to share in this journal. I mean, for the most part, I don't know y'all and y'all don't know me. It's *really* hard to choose what to put out there.

And then it hit me:

I'm blown away by the people here on SG.
In a *very* good way.

To me it seems like...
