The Life and Events of Me: The Bee

The other day, I think it was a Tuesday, I was riding the bus. At this point, I know you’re thinking, “Oh, this’ll be a great story!”
So there I am, listening to my iPod and trying to avoid eye contact (and being mauled by the dog across the aise). Something falls on my scarf. At [...]

Profiling People: Skater Boy

One of the things I dislike about riding buses is teenagers. They tend to annoy me. Especially teenage girls. In packs. And with starting work at 3:30pm, I’m bound to meet with gaggles of giggling girls coming home from school. It was one such day and so I was listening to my iPod and trying [...]

What does frustrated sound like?

It’s only 6:00am and it’s already been a long day. The whole right side of my body is soaking wet (and the left side is damp) so I’m freezing cold. How did I get soaked?
It started with my new job. I was told by someone that they would give me a ride to work this [...]

Of Mike and John

I know that I am not alone in this nagging sense of failing to measure up, a feeling of not being good enough as a woman. Every woman I’ve ever met feels it–something deeper than just the sense of failing at what she does. An underlying, gut feeling of failing at who she is. I [...]

Going Under
by Evanescence
Listen to this song
Now I will tell you what I’ve done for you -
50 thousand tears I’ve cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won’t hear me.
(going under)
Don’t want your hand this time – I’ll save myself.
Maybe I’ll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I’d [...]

It Seems to Me That, Aside From Being a Little Mentally Ill, She’s Pretty Normal

And that *points to title*, ladies and gentlemen, is from a great movie called “Joon and Benny”.
Now, about today. Today was a beautiful and frustrating day.
I ended up not sleeping until nearly 6:00am and was none too happy when my alarm went off. But I needed to be up and ready to leave when the [...]
