Note: Sorry. More boo-hoo-poor-me crap. Maybe a revelation next time.

Tonight is unearthly quiet. No vehicles roaring by on the streets. No noisy neighbors stomping around on the ceiling. No kids throwing tantrums. No room mates jacking off to porn.

No, tonight is almost like....death.

The snow outside has pasted everything in white icing. It twinkles like masses of decaying fallen stars. The earth is stony, the cold packed into every granule. Ribbed...

Warning: This blog entry is going to be me just whining. Nothing too insightful. Maybe next time.

Consciously, I realize that everyone is a bit worried about their appearance. We all have things we physically do not like about ourselves. Some of us are too thin or too chubby, too short or too tall, bad teeth or bad complexion. The list can be endless if we all were to sit around criticizing our own selves.

Welcome to the human condition.

The ability to forgive one's self for being human can be especially difficult. Everyone has to grapple with the pressures of society to be perfect.

Sometimes I still am. The tendency to be naive and too giving was especially bad when I was younger. I had a horrible abandonment complex. That was accompied by the...

It's astonishing. Truly, it is. One of the greatest secrets in life has been clarified for me. Ladies, I'm doing my sisterly duty and sharing this latest epiphany with you.

The Year of the Rat, 2008, is suppose to be particularly auspicious for those who are rodents. Well, let me tell you, it has been a helluva year...but not necessarily the luckiest. I mean, don't get me wrong, all in all some great things have happened to me. I got into the university of my choice, I rid myself of some unhealthy relationships, got a new apartment with nice roommates, AND have been working on my own self esteem.

But the negative....somewhat, still has left its toll....
