Back!
Geoff and I are back from Paris. We had a really great time, and you know how I decided that I would love the time in Paris and the days after? Overall, I am giving myself a B…and I’m okay with that.

Paris Advice?
Geoff and I plan to see the obvious: Eiffel Tower, L’Arc de Triomphe, Louvre (the classics at least), Notre Dame, Sainte Chappelle, Catacombs, Montmarte, Place du Tertre, Basilica Sacre-Coeur, and the Palace of Versaille. We also have planned some less obvious outings (with the guidance of blogs as well as my friend David) like Shakespeare & Co., the Latin Quarter and Bouquinnistes. We...

Feeling Better
Today feels like the first day of Autumn - a week early, but I don’t mind. I’m looking forward to a crisp new season and (I’m determined) a renewed outlook. I have much to look forward to, despite my recent negativity. The UK economy is supposedly entering recovery, and I have a few promising job descriptions to mold myself into. With that hope comes the potential that Geoff and...

– Why anthropologists should politicize mental illnesses (via alohanico) (via igather)
This. I favour a social-biological-political model of mental health. Also I favour people considering why ‘depression’ is a buzzword but grief remains taboo.
Is it because grieving takes time? It it because...
I keep thinking about what Geoff told me earlier… Yeah we’re all unhappy.
Are we? It never occurred to me before that everyone may be as unhappy as I am, as much as I am. Am I being self-centered or fatalistic with that notion? Or perhaps I am rectifying another faulty thought by considering that I am no more unhappy than anyone else. I can even handle that idea and give it full...
: I'm unhappy.
: Yeah we're all unhappy. You just get on with normal life.

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
This line of reasoning is woefully recurrent in my mind when it has the greatest potential to cause damage. “For who can bear the whips and scorns of time?” I sometimes ask myself the same question.

Wow…I guess I should be at boot camp. Electroshock sounds like a perfect treatment, considering I’ll have too much confusion and memory loss to think about Tumblr (at least for 6 months or so).

Geoff and I are growing pumpkins and anticipate we will have to manually pollinate them soon. I think I will try to convince him to try this method.

“But this is how the revolution begins: a few of us start chasing our dreams, breaking our old patterns, embracing what we love (and in the process discovering what we hate), daydreaming, questioning, acting outside the boundaries of routine and regularity. Others see us doing this, see people daring to be more creative and more adventurous,...
The Glass Castle - Jeannette Walls
I went for a walk in the nature preserve near here today, sat on a bench under the trees, and finished reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I enjoyed the read, though it has taken me several months to get through. I could put it down, because the storyline and message were fully known to me from the first chapter. Walls banked on readers being interested in the details of her story rather...

I haven’t been in the mood to communicate lately. Geoff keeps asking why I’m so quiet, and insists that there must be a reason for it. It’s hard to express to him how I can be lost in thoughts so numerous and congruous that none merits being a valid explanation. I do assure him that it’s not a negative quiet, but I don’t think he really believes me. I doubt any...

Thursday Sucks
Why? Because:
I was up literally all last night, unable to sleep or even lay in bed. But that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that I was up burping. Everyone who knows me knows I don’t burp. I have some sort of phobia of even admitting that I can. So this necessity to do it all night was upsetting. Although, I guess it’s good I’m getting over the fear of admitting...
