Tikimama is a better person than I, and took photos at the Teardrop anniversary party Sunday night, which was all kinds of awesome.
Thanks to Daniel and Ted for a year of beautiful cocktails!

Unstructured
Posted in personal, pondering on July 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
There was a conversation recently about how outside pressure can impact relationships– can drive someone to use a relationship to build emotional support, push a person to find a partner and get going on grandchild-production, etc. I had been sort of thinking about it before the conversation anyway, as I get ever closer to the [...]
You’ve got red on you

I found several of these excellent tags in SE Portland when I was walking to meet the boyfriend for dinner. Ahh, Simon Pegg, how do I love thee?
Nothing particular

If you’d rather do nothing particular with a particular person, does that mean something particular?
Some purpose (with a side of parentheticals)

It should not surprise anyone that I tend to post personal, ponder-y type things. As a number of personality profiles and books have confirmed, I’m an emotional ruminater, which is a fine thing to be. True, it sometimes lends itself to worrisome looping, but it’s how I am. I like to think it also contributes [...]
Bursting with Inadequacy

Well, I suppose on some level it’s good interesting suckful not surprising to find that I retain the ability to morph a series of mostly-unrelated events into a giant ball of “holy crap, I am just not good enough”. This is a talent that requires no outside assistance, as I am perfectly capable of reducing [...]
Attention

The next time I see my parents (two weeks from now) I’ll have to ask them if I was a really attention-seeking kid. I’m guessing yes, based on my current level of attention-whore-y-ness and the fact that I insisted on being involved in a local drama troupe for pre-middle-school kids. I think my hey-pay-attention-to-me drive [...]
Honest vs. relevant
Posted in personal, pondering on July 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My inclination, almost always, is to be honest. This can be troublesome. For example, if you’re in a new relationship, with a new person… someone who hasn’t known you for years, doesn’t know all the details and scars and twitches and stories. I seem to feel that I should lay it all out, but intellectually [...]
Technologically stymied

Oh, for god’s sake. Everyone I know is on Twitter, but can I find the person I’m trying to internet-stalk? No, I cannot. Why? Because I’m not signed up for Twitter, so I’m doing a very inefficient clicky-click hunt-around thing, which is, completely unsurprisingly, not working. Duh. Why am I not on Twitter? Because my [...]
Inside out
Posted in personal, pondering on July 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So, in the last few weeks it seems that I have been experiencing a significant uptick in the number of “how you doin’?”-type comments. I am aware that this sounds really self-centered and brag-y, though I don’t really mean for it to be. I mean, it’s nice that apparently people think I’m attractive, and it’s [...]
