Some Thoughts on the World

I know for a fact I would have to catch my breath. I think about him sometimes, usually when a song comes on the radio or I watch a movie from the time we were together. My stomach would probably do a summer salt. I would ask him how he is, and ask him to come up to my apartment for coffee.
I'd be very nice, we broke up my senior year of high school, we were both kids, and we broke up under very stressful circumstances. I know we would have to talk about the old days, because that is what you do.
I'd ask him what brought him to my door, and hopefully it is just a friendly visit. I'd invite him to stay for supper and meet my partner.
I'm pretty sure things wouldn't be that weird unless he told me he wanted to get back together again. Then I would have to ask him to leave.

Transgender Day of Remembrance today, everyone have a moment of silence for those have have died because of intolerance.

I'm not going to make this a sappy post or anything like that. I just wanted to say, Happy Anniversary honey. This week marks the two year aniversary of us. Like I said, nothing too sappy.

I have noticed that often when I post it is because there is something wrong, difficult, noteworthy or important going on in my life. I don't really seem to post about nothing, or rather, the absense of anything notable. So I am making a post about how nothing is exicting, or terrible or paticularly wonderful, my life as it sits today is quite acceptable. I am enjoying the simplicity of my life these days. Jarrett and I have a wonderful existance, and though things are not roses all the time, I am enjoying what we have together.

On a side note, perhaps this is noteworthy, I am going to start posting my writing in this journal. I greatly enjoy posting and reading other people's thoughts, but I don't always have something to say, so I have decided this is a good way for me to express my work. You see, I write letters... I love writing letters to people who never recieve them. When I was in my teens I used to write letters to Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen or Jane Eyre from book of the same name by Charlotte Bronte. I wouuld write to them as their close friends. Now I write letters to people who have been in my life, or people who are in my life, also to fictional characters and historical figures. I do it in a somewhat poetic way, I try to make them sound classic and thoughtful. Anyway, I figured this would be a good way to express myself, so look forward to them if you are interested.

Yay!  Obama got in!

After my oversight, I have found a couple other female cartoon icons who are not white!!!  Leave it to the X-Men to create these cool characters :)

I am a gamer, i confess it.  I play world of warcraft, and i love it.  I've been considering if this is bad for my personal health or not, as I end up spending a great deal of time in front of my computer.  However, I do love the game.  I have been considering if it is bad for us to do some of the things we really enjoy doing.  For instance, smoking pot, playing video games and eating greasy foods.  All these things are considered to be bad for us in some way, yet most of the time this does not stop us.
I have decided that things such as these are good for the soul, if you will, and if you don't believe in that, then they are good for our mental health.  I enjoy playing video games, and it does not really hurt anyone if I do.  So I will keep playing and you can keep doing whatever you do to pass the time that you enjoy.  Just as long as it is not harmful to the environment, others, and if possible yourself (though the latter is your choice).
Good night all.

Well, this is my first post, and I have nothing to say.  I'm attempting to study for my last final and thought this might be a good distraction, and guess what, it was.  That's about it.  Have a good one.
