Yesterday was a crazy day. Due to circumstances beyond our control, which partly just means it didn’t get realized until too late, Go Play Peoria and the Reformation Day Faire were on the same day. So naturally we proceeded to devolop a complicated plan involving two major events, two vehicles, and nine [...]

On some reflection, I may have lied several times yesterday. Several people asked me yesterday how I was and my reply was either, “Tired,” or “I’m okay, but tired”. The tired part was really true, but I’m starting to think that maybe I’m not okay.
I keep thinking I must surely be okay [...]

I woke up this morning with a slight sore throat and general ‘I might be getting sick’ feeling. And I started thinking that if I got sick I’d have an excuse to just go back to bed and not do anything.
It’s not that life is that hard right now. If life were hard, at least [...]

The other day I had a realization that was so profound it might be worthy of the short list of pivotal moments of my life. And while, as is usual for my life, it was a very ordinary moment it was nonetheless profound.
I was thinking about being married. (Excursus: Whenever I contemplate a life apart [...]

I am not very musical. That is, I can’t play an instrument, I don’t write songs and I don’t write music. Other than that I am actually very musical. I listen to music throughout the day and will frequently launch into song, though perhaps not as frequently as Raquel.
I like tailoring what I’m listening [...]

I was telling a friend that it seemed like I’d learned stuff over the past few years of my life, but it was hard to tell it to anyone because it just seemed trite and obvious when I tried to put it into words. On further reflection, everything I’ve learned is still true, even [...]

SWCF, 23, seeking theologically correct vampire who wants a sidekick fighting the forces of evil in his path to redemption for past evil vampiric acts. Must be alpha male and slightly crazy. Brooding angst and offbeat sense of humor preferred. Serious inquiries only.
Did I miss anything?

I have this theory that someday, probably a long, long time from now, I’m going to write a book. I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to talk about in my book, hence the long time from now, but I know I want to direct it to people who live in between. I want to [...]

A while ago I wrote a post about telling vomit stories, but in the post I mentioned how I was annoyed that everything in my life seems to revolve around being single as if my marital status was a strange, bright sun. I think I’ve got a bead on why I’m in this orbit. Simply [...]

I had an odd thought the other day. I am twenty-two now. That means that I am older than any of my siblings were when they got married. The question “Why?” wandered into my head then, but I chased it out with a fly swatter.
