Something new

Well, I have some news. I'm 27. That's it.
And, being that it's my birthday and all, I've started a new project. A year long project.
I couldn't wait till the new year to start this awesome idea I read about on this site.
I'll be taking a photo everyday and posting it (more details soon).
Not merely photos of me, just anything that strikes my fancy.
Warning: you may see a lot of photos of fat cats, though I'll try to stray from that subject matter, I can't promise anything. Let's see how this goes.

Hooray for splurging!

I'm totally excited about my birthday present to myself.
I love shoes!

Oh man...

Seeing red red red

I think I'm getting sick again. There are at least 5 people in the immediate area of my cubicle at work that have been or are sick at all times. I think that someday all of us are going to keel over and fucking die. It wouldn't surprise me. And I'd be willing to go down, especially with the way I feel right now. Which is totally awesome, by the way. Did I mention that my mom is throwing an engagement party for Phil and I, and I've been explicitly instructed by both my mother and my future mother in-law that I can't get sick. Well, fuck. I think I'm sick. But, you know, it's the big day tomorrow and the only reason I want to go is to throw some fucking amazing whiskey down my throat and numb it up real good. That, and I think my mom said something about toasting us. This should be good.

Tell me

I often wonder if there's anything left of my former self. Am I still here? Do I still exist?
What ever happened to my dreams of Chicago, and how long has it been since I've been there. And I mean really there, not just half-way there. How can I make the pain I'm feeling go away? I had hoped that all of this would pass, but it keeps coming back. Sometimes I think I may be heading in the wrong direction. And that direction happens to be away from some of my dreams. Is that what I wanted all along? I don't think so.

Pain and Happiness

I've had a pain in my neck for over a week now. Literally, my neck. It hurts.
It's right at the base of my skull and I'm hoping that it goes away soon.
On a better note, Phil and I picked a barn to get married in. That's right, a barn.
Time for the honky tonk and shotguns, I'm getting married. In a barn.
So yes, pain can come with happiness.

No, for reals...

Yeah, it's official. I'm getting married. Some time in the future, to the man I love.
Whaddoyou think? Star Wars themed wedding...discuss.
