i've been living in Prague, Czech Republic for one month now, and i'm considering bringing this blog back from the dead to document my life here. we'll see what happens ...

this was one seriously messed up day:i have a raging sinus infection, fever and all, so i had a hard time waking up this morning since i took some NyQuil last night.  i've felt foggy and completely removed from reality all day.barely leaving my apartment to make it to work on time, i got in my car to find that it would not start.  i had to call my supervisor, and she came to pick me up.  luckily,

i decided to buy a bottle of wine today.  the cashier, a Mexican woman with an obvious accent, asked me if i had weekend plans.  "no, not really," i said.  she explained that she was not allowed to have friends, much less dinner parties or anything of the like.  she said her husband was extremely jealous.  "are you married?" she asked.  i said that i was not, and she nodded, saying that she

occasionally, once in a blue moon, there's a day that gets away from me; when i sit alone that night (or the next day, even) and wonder: "what the hell happened?"i had one of those days today.  no matter how hard i try, i can't really make sense of it.circumstances were not normal.  things were out of the ordinary.   there were too many computers and people and cats involved.  i acted unlike

my sweetheart and i have started a blog together:Love In Praguei hope we will actually post on it, because i'd love to see how it will progress.i'd like it to document our relationship:  our lives lived with distance between us, our efforts to be together, and then finally our life together in Prague.we both hope it will work, but there are obstacles.  who knows what will really happen?

no matter how many classes i am taking, the last week before the end of a semester is always hectic for me.  and it never fails that external stress factors always crop up during this exact time--just to make things interesting.i took two final exams today:  one online from home (E-commerce) and one on campus from 8 to 10 p.m (Managerial Accounting).now it's over!i'm mentally wiped out.  but i'm

can you feel frustration coursing through your body?  do you feel painfully tense but can't seem to find a way to relax?here's what i suggest:next time you get in your car, wait until no one is around, take a very deep breath, and scream as loud as you can.  scream until your throat burns and you have no more air in your lungs.  scream until your eyes cry involuntary tears.it works for me.  every

and i hope i'll never calm down.all of my hopes and dreams are right in front of me.  only one last goal to accomplish, and then there's nothing standing in my way.it's real.  it's scary.  it's NOT impossible.it's well worth the risk.my life will change forever.  actually, it already has.i can't wait to see what happens next.

obviously, i have not posted here in ages.  but i know at least one person is reading.the start of 2008 will quite possibly go down in my life story as the worst in history.  i was let down, lost, alone, disenchanted, anxious [insert more adjectives of the like here].  but i have seen it all through to the other side.  and the best part is that just when i've found myself, some one else has found

good day in nashville today. stopped to buy some lovely pumkins to carve on the way to lunch, then headed home.C got a new bike, which is his baby. this bike is too good to stay in the garage with the others. it is parked in our living room. my bike is a crappy one with a terribly uncomfortable seat and brakes that don't work properly, but oh well.so we went for a bike ride at sunset tonight.

my mom came up from birmingham to visit me today. we went to a nice lunch and she gave me some birthday presents: a 40gb ipod and a rug.when i was home for christmas i commented how much i have always loved this particular rug. i've seen it at my grandmother's house in memphis all my life. when she passed away my mother brought it to our family's house in birmingham. my mom told me that she made

to be on the receiving end of a smile accompanied by gazeful eyes and knowing that you have evoked this amativeness is the most warming feeling of all.

my favorite flight from nashville to london is now only $328! that is less than 1/2 what i paid my last trip over. ofcourse, i did go in summer when rates are higher. [if that link asks for a city of departure, type in bna, and the flight should come up] i haven't traveled anywhere in so long it seems, and haven't been to england since june 2003. so now i am thinking that i could actually afford

jess and i have been co-workers since i moved here a little over 3 1/2yrs ago. we get along fine, but our interests couldn't be more opposite. she uses the words 'different' and 'weird' to describe me to others- even right in front of me. i'm perfectly fine with that. i like that i am not the same as everyone else, even tho it has made me feel alone and alienated many times, especially now that i

this is the first postcard that i made. or maybe it is the 2nd. i can't remember. jason is the lucky owner of this one. i hope he didn't file it in a waste receptacle. (dialogue respectfully borrowed from an episode of 'bottom'). first postcard

so, i have had several job interviews with a relatively small local bank. it is the bank that has purchased our building and will be moving in once our branch closes on feb 15. the interview was not for a position in my current location as i had hoped, because they had some employees who live in town and want to transfer once they open. i would replace one of the transfers at a different branch.

i've been needing change for so long now. there are some areas of my life that need adjusting. while i will not change my core being, i know there are things that i can do to make my life more full and happy. these are big tasks with huge amounts of thought, consideration and effort needed to see results. i am working on them. so i booked an appointment at a salon for a haircut today. as i

today i will wear lipstick for the first time in nearly a year. this morning i put the blowdryer to my hair for the first time in months. later i will apply some mascara for the first time in a long while. i have a job interview over lunch in exactly 3 hours.

what the fuck is this?? when are people going to learn not to be afraid of homosexuals? why are people so hellbent on denying them such basic human rights as happiness and freedom to be themselves? the religious right would have you believe that people "choose to be gay". no one chooses to be gay. who would actually elect to have the pain and ridicule that comes with it? i admire their strength

i have always found handwriting interesting. i have never gone as far as to learn about handwriting analysis, but it could be a subject that would hold my interest. whether specific personality details can be revealed in the way an individual forms handwritten letters/words is debatable. at the very least, handwriting is an interesting part of who we are. each person's writing style is unique

i googled myself because i was wondering what people would find if they searched for my name. i found nothing that was actually about me, but there are a lot of girls with the same name. however, just as i was about to give up, i found something that really disturbed me. it's a short story on a website called enemarotica: a site for adult enema erotica enthusiasts! the story is about a girl (with

oh, i am so bored at work! from 8am to now i have waited on a total of 40 customers! i think that breaks down to about 6 customers for every hour. well, that calculation would hold true if it weren't for the fact that 10 of those customers came by right after we opened this morning. so really i have just been sitting here. bored out of my mind. all day. yawn. judy is watching soap operas on tv.

i want gmail. i hate hotmail. everyone i know has gmail and loves it, but now it appears you have to be "invited" to have it. like it's some kind of exclusive party with entrance by invitation only. brings to mind the old adage- you always want what you can't have. update: 3:35pm- i have already been invited into the priveleged world of gmail users. special thanks to alistair!
