Eating Meat
Once again, the idea of eating meat is on my mind. I’ve been a vegetarian since November 1993, nearly 15 years. For the past five years or so, I’ve thought about eating meat again. I originally became a vegetarian for ethical reasons, I used to do the “I won’t eat anything with a face” thing, … Continue reading
More Thoughts
I’ve been thinking more about identity and stuff, with regard to the hearing loss. One person asked me if I was sad or excited, a hearing friend said they would be excited, and another person was surprised I wasn’t excited. I guess the reason I am on the fence about my feelings is because of … Continue reading
Audio Results
Today I finally had my audiogram. It’s really been bothering me that I’m not hearing as well as I used to, so I was very excited about the test. The answer was “hey, you do have a mild hearing loss, but we don’t know why – come back in a few weeks, we’ll stick electrodes … Continue reading
Insecurity Rears Its Ugly Head
As much fun as I’m having in school, as many friends as I have right now, I’m still afraid. It’s not self-esteem this time. My good grades have done wonders for my self-esteem. It’s plain old insecurity. Maybe part of this stems from not living on campus, but I’m afraid of losing my friends. What’s … Continue reading
Looking Back
I wrote this on April 5, 2007. Just wanted to look back on it now. I am so fucking scared. Today I got notification of my raise for passing the CI, which is retroactive to the date I took the test (they didn’t do that for my CT, which was 9 months before I got … Continue reading
In A Family Way
A man and a woman meet online. They enjoy each other so much that they agree to meet, and when they do it is love at first sight. They are so alike it is uncanny and they instantly feel a deep bond, so much so that it is unbearable to separate. They decide to move … Continue reading
Happy 2007
I don’t know why, but it seems like 2007 is going to be the Year of the Positive for me. I have been feeling happier than I can remember in a long time. I think it probably started with seeing a therapist in January – something I hadn’t done for several years. I love my … Continue reading
Overkill?
Am I advertising too much? I feel like I might be spending too much time at PayPerPost. At first I thought I would only make a few paid posts per week, but I’ve been doing it much more than that. I’ve made quite a bit of cash from it, but I don’t know how I’m … Continue reading
Faking Social Skills
Today at the conference I chatted for a long time with people I don’t know very well. We were working the booth for our employer, but we never see each other so we’re not familiar with each other. And the whole time I wasn’t sure if I was being socially appropriate. I felt like I … Continue reading
Terrorists’ Thoughts
Sometimes I wonder what the 9/11 terrorists were hoping to do. Disrupt peace, cause terror and pandemonium, all that is easy. But were they expecting the towers to fall, or was that an unexpected surprise? Did they mean to choose the newly-renovated area of the Pentagon, or was that coincidence? Where was the fourth plane … Continue reading
