Nic comes to town today!
I am really excited for his visit. It will be nice to have him here for a few days. I anticipate having a lot of fun, having a lot of sex (it’s about fucking time, no pun intended), and having a lot of time to just talk and connect. I think it is going to be a really fun visit! And a very needed one at that!
Yay!

It is going to end up costing quite a bit more than I’d expected. So, I will just have to get it later, which is fine. But now I have to think of something else to get, because I still want a tattoo.
What to get…what to get…what to get?

It apparently takes half of the time you were together to get over someone. It took me quite a while to get over a 2 year relationship with my first girlfriend.
Well then, I guess I’ll see y’all in two years!
Kyle and I were together for 4 years.
It has been less than a week, and yet I am already hearing, “Oh, you’re still upset?” As if I should be fine by now. As if I should be back to my normal self. As if I should want to do anything except sit on the couch and watch movies because what I have known for 4 fucking years is now, suddenly different.
Go fuck yourself.

Aw, if you need anything I’m just down the road. (even if that road is I-5)

I can’t bring myself to change my relationship status yet, but I needed to make the public declaration, so I wrote a note.
Now excuse me while I crawl under my bed and cry for the next few hours.

I need to get a tattoo.
The process of getting a tattoo almost perfectly mirrors where I am in my life right now.
Getting a tattoo is not the greatest experience, to be honest. You have to lay there for an extended period of time and just take it while someone carves into your skin. It is painful, but you know you’ll get through it and have something really awesome to show for it afterward. Even after the artist...

1,436 Days...
My relationship with Kyle has been so overwhelmingly amazing. I look back at who we were when we started dating, and I am amazed at how much we have grown together, how much we have learned about ourselves and the world together. Kyle was a great boyfriend, someone who I will continue to cherish very much in this next phase of my life. He will continue to be a great friend to me, someone who I go...

I really want to get a Tom of Finland tattoo.
If I had a chunk of cash I would so just walk down to a local shop and have this done right now.
We don't have any coffee.
And thus my disposition this morning resembles something like this…

I don't know if I can handle all of this.
The day has barely started and I am already just desperately waiting for it to be over so I can get back into bed.

Did that study seriously show that there was not a relationship between testosterone and aggression (rather a relationship between testosterone and physical mass, and another relationship between physical mass and aggression, thus the relationship between testosterone and aggression is mediated by physical mass) and then immediately after that claim that testosterone had an effect on aggression?

I have to apologize for all of the messages I have not responded to lately. The last few days have been exhausting. There has been a lot of great things happening, but other areas of my life, specifically my relationship with Kyle, is becoming more complicated.
So, in the mean time, enjoy my mindless reblogs. I expect a lot of pretty things and hot men - the kinds of reblogs that require little...
Is it possible for someone to stop being attracted...
Does that change if said characteristic is devalued by the dominant culture as well? Can someone express an aversion to a characteristic, while not devaluing it? What happens if the person was at one time attracted to that characteristic, but they are actually experiencing a shift away from that, indeed further limiting their preferences?
The conclusion that I keep coming to is that by expressing...

I think “the” scientific method is incompatibly with sociology, as well as the practice of the natural sciences. Methodological pluralism enables the adaptation of the most suitable method of researching the object of study.

Links or it didn’t happen
There are no links yet, as nothing has been posted.
And I don’t think you’ll want to see what I did, Ashley… I don’t think you’d approve.

Poor me, poor me, I don't have a place to rant...
Lately I have been upset because I can’t just post whatever fucked up thing comes into my head, whatever small event from the day that annoys me for a really problematic reason. Because, oh lord, things that do not affect me are just making my life unbearable, apparently.
I need to take a nice big dose of Get Over Yourself.
My The New York Times Breaking News plugin decided that whoever is going to the Super Bowl this year was “breaking news.”

I ventured back to my Alma Mater tonight.
The first time since I’ve graduated! A friend of mine and I made last minute plans to go to the Haven meeting tonight, and the trip to Beth’s afterward, so I found myself on campus again. It was really great, I have to say. It felt like visiting home, in a sense - everything seemed nostalgic and comforting, but I knew that I no longer quite belonged the way I once did. I quite enjoyed...

Mind blown!
I started re-reading some books I had from my studies in college. Now that I have the time to thoroughly read the text, instead of run my way through it so I can get to the other 5 books I had to read, I am learning and remembering concepts that I completely missed or just forgot about. It is pretty fun and exciting, I have to say. I’m also realizing more and more why I hold to the beliefs I...

the-gryphon-queen replied to your post: It’s a trap.
I’m surprised that you — with your educational background and obvious intellect — hadn’t already figured that out during your first semester of college. The whole American Dream formula is a grotesque pantomime of what real living is meant to be.

It's a trap.
You go to college and work hard and get a degree, and all the while the world around you is saying that this is what it takes to get a good job, so then you leave college with that expectation: a good job. Unfortunately, I am realizing more and more how much of a lie that was. Because most all of the jobs that would require my degree also require a few years of experience, and all the jobs that...
