It's Like This...

This past weekend was one of the best ever. It was really f*ing fun and has inspired me to write a gratitude list. Of course, this inspires my neurotic mind to generate a list of stresses of equal length.

The blessings:

-shopping sprees with my friend, tory, who's visiting from pdx and just happens to have dope style and gives crucial fashion advice.

-super fun going away party at aileen's apartment with decorations and a clean up crew included! THANKS FRIENDS!


-tory and i getting dressed up in our finest butch/femme gear and discovering an open bar and wine at the tables at the wedding reception.

-8 days of work left!!!

-getting to go to grad school

-my future cross country adventures. i can hear the open road calling my name, it sounds like "freedom!"

-pride: the parties, community, films and revelry

The challenges:

-being seated at a table and having to converse with corporate sell outs who are touchy about it at the wedding reception.

-psychic reading where they told me about lots of abuse inflicted upon me and by me in past lives. i concluded that if i am going to continue to believe in reincarnation then i am going to have to accept the fact that i probs haven't existed for thousands of years without inflicting any harm. not to be cavalier, but as i said to tory when we left that place "somebody had to be hitler."

-8 days of work left to get everything done!

-driving alone cross country sounds lonely and scary...WHAT IF I BREAK DOWN IN THE DAKOTAS?!?

-leaving, having to say good-bye

-pride: the stress, drama, crises and hangovers


The truth:

-they are all blessings and i'm going to be just fine.
