I am a great one for making lists. No, really, I am. The problem is in implementing the items on my list, but I find that a deadline really helps. So. If you recall, I wrote four things that I want to do with my life right now. I was pretty broad about the list,… Continue Reading

Stalking the Enemy
It is funny, to me, anyway, that I am blogging about sleep rather than actually trying to sleep. As I have documented in the past, I have a very rocky history with Lord Morpheus. In fact, I have written a novel about it, including many of my more outre dreams in the three-hundred page epic.… Continue Reading
Destination Unknown
First, your video for the day. It’s Destination Unknown by Missing Persons. Why? Because. Second, I’m going to tell you a little story. Once upon a time, I used a typewriter. I know, I know, so quaint! I thought it was a big deal when I got a typewriter that had the key you… Continue Reading
Useful Navel Gazing
So. At the ripe old age of 38, I am embarking on the next phase of my life. I don’t quite know how I’m going to do this as all my old coping mechanisms are outmoded, and I am slow to develop new ones. For a long time, I resisted having a positive outlook on… Continue Reading
I Matter, Part Deux
Ok. In the last post, I detailed how I realized I mattered in relation to the abortion issue. Go read it. I’ll wait. Now, I am going to expand on it a bit as I cross over into my personal life. As is my way, I’m going to tell you a long, meandering story about… Continue Reading
I Matter
I matter. You matter. We all matter. Right now, though, I’m going to talk about the first one. Why? Because for far too long, I haven’t thought that I mattered. Not in a global sense (such as, where do I fit in this world). Not in a societal sense (such as, I am no benefit… Continue Reading
You Like Me! You Really, Really Like Me!
Thank you, thank you so much for this award. I am quite emotional, and I don’t know what to say. I mean, I don’t have a speech prepared, so I’m just going to have to ad-lib it. First, I would like to thank all the little people–what? What award am I accepting? Why, the… Continue Reading
An Elegy for…Me
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to pass the mourning of Minna E. Hong. Now, of course, I am not dead–otherwise this would be a pretty freaky post. However, I am slowly letting go of the me that I have been for the last fifteen years or so. You see, after I graduated… Continue Reading
Touched, Humbled, and Honored
A very dear friend (whom I’ve never met as she currently lives in France) named Jamie who has the marvelous cooking blog, Life’s A Feast, bestowed upon me the Bella Award which is for “One Lovely Blog”. Now, lovely is not the first word I would affix to my blog, but I am touched, humbled, and… Continue Reading
Life is But a Dream
This is MY brain, and you’re only peeking into it. As I have blogged about before, I dream a lot. I remember at least one dream a night, and my dreams are, with very few exceptions, nightmares. Last night’s dream was no exception, but it was a strange sort of nightmare. Therefore, I am… Continue Reading
