Choose your own...

Maybe if I play this, there'll be all sorts of inside jokes about Boston that I won't get. Example:

Sexism, again.

Se Fue

The cat left. The source that brought her in said, "She was getting restless." It's annoying. It's really cold out.

Was woken up by milder womb pain. It's gone but it's not better. There's a famed womb/ hysteria connection but it seems like my uterus might tell me to leave a situation if it's too unhealthy or if it feels too spirit crushing for some reason. The past had a ridiculous amount of disrespectful control of women and their bodies and sadly it feels like this is being repeated.

I have a positive feeling.

Things will get better. Love will superseed all. O internal optimist. Let me let you win.

OH, ha ha

I found this article. I love this guy's tone. http://www.thewire.com/culture/2014/02/men-are-fragile-and-do-not-need-your-common-courtesies/358451/

Places to go

I want to go here.

Region 6

its as if

even though earlier I thought I could turn them into poems or comic books or something, now I know I just have to let them actually crush my ego to death...

and this cat's appearance is really strange...it's absolutely just making itself at home

what was nice

Drawn to the Blood again

Pacific Northwest Landscape ~ James Williamson

living on a rural island,

reading Shirley MacLaine in the early 90s,

surrounded by nature,

felt so wise/enlightened...

I will go back....

Yesterday...

was Meg White's birthday...
Oh technically, that was on the 10th I guess.

so weird

When I was a little kid, I was in upstate NY in a museum and I did something where I got noticed and then hid from a woman smiling at me...whether I was just standing there admiring something, or dancing and then got embarrassed, all of a sudden I got noticed and this woman kept smiling at me as if I should get back out in front of her and do whatever I was doing, but I kept back in some corner and didn't go back out there...I am not even sure anymore...what was I doing? I don't know.

Oh well

I'll just be finishing off some wine, sorting through files, listening to an album about DEATH and petting a cat.

A cat is feasting

A cat followed my boyfriend into our apartment. The cat senses kindness on his part. The cat tolerates me and eats food. What a fine cat.

mundane yet crushing

I decided I had to "get organized" (file or throw away) old papers I hadn't gotten to. I needed an image. This is what I picked. It was like a depiction of Athena with an owl and a dress of leaves.

Mundane: Sorting through the old papers.

Congratulations, music...

How I feel

I need to work harder on completing creative endeavors with women. Here's a funny thing. Well, not ha ha funny. But I know there are some very talented guys who would be a lot of fun to work with, but it feels like they are not as open to me. Like, they don't have a frame of reference, or something, to the way I see things. Example: what if I act hesitant I.E. not how a certain type of man wants me to behave. He sees "grown woman acting childish" and leaves it at that. Unless you completely shove it in his face, he's not going to bother to consider the complexity, because he hasn't been brought up to do that. For example, he probably hasn't been asked to think about rape culture (a term which only recently came into existence) and trauma. Then when he looks at it, it is likely that he sees baggage, a nuisance, instead of an opportunity for him to learn and grow as a person. That's too bad. Its better sometimes not to get exactly what you want and expect. The women are not put on earth to be your mindreader manic pixie dreamgirl cocktail waitresses.
