- Bio
- 37; army brat; bisexual... still living with my ex partner (uhm, it's complicated?); nursing student; perpetually confused, it makes me look like i'm doing a ditzy act, but actually it's not put on; middle lower class; INFP/INFJ; SSRI, nicotine lozenge and caffeine dependent. Driven to laziness, odd fits of needing to 'fix' things, manic moments of productiveness and random weirdness.

the fallacy of woman as strength
we are weak, falling noisily, wet, to the ground
broken and whispering prayers to ourselves
sharp pieces of our soul pierces our skin
ripping through easily as if there could be no container for this
essence that is us
I am sorry for your loss
from the head of the nursing dept today:
"I am sure you are aware of all the speculation about this flu season. Right now many task forces have been established to prepare for a difficult season. Because of this, hospitals are now starting to request that students receive the flu vaccines that are available.

y'all smell like jerky butts
the goddess loves me in all her forms doesn't she?
i worry about this
about changing

the rot inside burbling up in acne pustules
and the scent of failure that surrounded me
now it is the exhausted frustration
leaking out in my not smiles

off to the beach for a few days- no internet **sob**
didn't want anyone to worry :)
I'm out in CA visiting my dad and Patricia
and the air is brisk, chilly almost, even with the heat of the sun. The smells are all Californian. On the walk, the strip of Eucalyptus, hot dry earth smell, resins and wood. I bake in the smells here. Patricia's pot pie- onions and bread smell, crispy crust falling apart in… Read full post »

was that you never had anything I wanted. I'd always thought it was because I loved you too much to ever want anything more than I wanted your happiness. Boy, I was wrong. This wrenching feeling inside, this is anger, and anger is just masked jealousy in this case.
yuck. Personal… Read full post »
