This will all blow over in time.

More about God:
A few days ago I had a small epiphany. Want to hear? Great. Here goes:
So like I mentioned before, I’ve been reading Numbers recently. In addition to the constant rules and sacrifices, the main story line of the majority of the Pentateuch goes like this:
The Israelites are wandering in the desert, led by […]

One for sorrow, two for joy. Three for girls and four for boys.

Happy Easter three days ago.
Here’s why I was excited about Easter:
I’ve been reading the Pentateuch recently on my journey through the Bible, and let me tell you–Leviticus and Numbers? Not that exciting. The vast majority of the books deal with rules of what can and can’t be done, explicit detailed descriptions of how things should […]

[happy patch day]

Sometimes I have irrational bursts of feeling that cause me to not be a functional human being for a good minute or so. Honestly, the intensity of my anger or sadness or jealousy or whatever other negative emotion I could possibly be capable of feeling incapacitates me to the point of almost curling up […]

[no…that is the law, according to the rules]

I start taking Naginata classes tomorrow, which perhaps is the most useless form of martial arts training in the modern world. However, it’s been brought to my attention that the stress I carry from work has a tendency to follow me everywhere I go. This is a potentially entertaining remedy.
How the […]

I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll.

So.
Check it out: on the front page of CNN.com. How come this area of Texas always gets negative attention? I’m relieved that I have Invisalign and can therefore be an exception. As for us being the fattest, angriest, and drunkest, well, at least the latter two are definite possibilities. I don’t think we’re the fattest. […]

[my body is all shook up, like a bottle of pop, and i wanna go off]

Real quick like, here. NPR is doing a blog dedicated exclusively to coverage at SXSW. I promised myself I would either make it to SXSW or Austin City Limits this year and, of course, I probably won’t. Reading the resulting entries of four people running on no sleep due to a massive […]

Maryland and Virginia have faded away.

Either as a result of my neurosis or past experience, I’m convinced most married or otherwise unavailable men look at me warily, as if they expect me to hit on them. I’m equally convinced that said men’s significant others also look at me warily, as if simply by being a female in their men’s vicinity […]

I’ve always found my way somehow by taking the long way.

So anyway, today didn’t suck. Big news? It is if the past, oh, six days or so have sucked hxc. Yes, hxc. Squared. Here’s some of the woe-is-me-ultra-personal rambling from three days ago, before the extent of the hxc squared suckage really took full effect:

[revenge is the saddest thing honey, i’m afraid to say, you deserve everything]

I’ve been mostly quiet. The seasons are starting to show their change and while this has been much anticipated by me, I get an uncomfortable feeling every single year around this time. I think the suspension between what has been for so long and what is to be has been building up in […]

[…it’s been a long time since you felt better]

Yesterday I walked through the rain with my head held high, letting the water hit my eyelids and travel in little rivulets down my cheeks, over my neck, and under my shirt.
This made me happy.
And happy I am.
I think.
Maybe.
