I love you. You are closest to my heart, closer than any other human being. You are my extension. You are my prayer. You are my belief in God. For better or worse you inherit me. -anne sexton

The Dead. I have the pleasure knowing many in the circle. Most have come by me as they were alive and I have not seen them after their new condition. However I have seen those who walk amongst us. Some...over he will. But I won't die until I get something finished. I will not leave one dream behind in the dark traces of my mind. I shall breath until I follow through on them all. Then I will Die

Link Of the countless words Barack Obama has uttered since he opened his campaign for president on an icy Illinois morning in February 2007, a handful have kept reverberating in my mind: “For as long...of stories has animated my life; and no nation offers a blanker page on which to write than America. Or perhaps it’s simply because those 22 words cleave the air with the sharp blade of truth.

`Read the journal from bottom up` This is my last entry No more ~~ Her breath was bated as she waited, Patiently as a child her beheading arrives, The man with her fate brings the blade up high, I love you my darling, I love you goodbye... ~~ ~smh~ 10-08  

If you didn't watch this on television earlier, watch it now. If you don't have time to watch the whole 30 minute speech, at least watch from about 22 minutes in to the end. It's powerful and inspiring...here's the full text of the speech , if you'd rather read it. I wish I could just go in to my classes tomorrow and play this speech and tell all of my students why they need to vote for Barack Obama

Ben and I started out joking and then got so serious about this. We know exactly (not written in stone there now) what we want to do after high school...together. As one. Here it goes. 1. GRADUATE FROM...DONE CULINARY SCHOOL. 7. Once that's done I get what I really want: BABIES!!!!!!!! awwww! 8. Katie becomes president and we all have play dates and sleepovers and slip and slides. THE END. *takes bow

This was in Sunday's Houston Chronicle Weddings Section: Mr. Robert Anthony Hergenroeder and Mr. Thomas Arthur Mathews were united in Marriage on Monday September 22, 2008 at the Beverly Hills Hotel...and unfortunate places that amended their constitution to define marriage as heterosexual. Texas's constitution is a rather bloated and intimidating tome, the size of a Hemingway novel, I swear.

So Obama's 30 min ad tonight?  I swear to the gods I went through a box and a half of tissues.  Not during the sappy emotional narrations, but at every clip showcasing bits of his speeches.  Not only is...extraordinary orator, but in the eight years since I've been a registered voter, he is the only candidate who has ever inspired in me faith and optimism and the belief that things will be okay again

...I might have made the wrong descision). About ten minutes ago I get a phone call from a vets in town saying they would like to interview me as a position has become available. I am soooo fucking excited!!! I need to calm down. I have to ring them on Friday to arrange a date to interview. Just when I was feeling like giving up, a tiny ray of hope arrives. I can't stop smiling! :D  :D  :D

So I saw HIM today. The guy that probably and potentially ruined my life. And you know what? I didn't care. I even waved at him. He is no longer the man that hurt me. He is the boy who made a...me for buying into the cultural phenomena of whoring yourself out for meaning in your life. Fuck men, Fuck women, Fuck gender roles, and fuck the world. But most of all... FUCK YES. I'M BACK BITCHES
