Hello readers!Time for the first ever exciting installment of "I don't understand" by yours truly.I don't understand why guys sometimes don't get the hint. I mean, I'm not always the most upfront, to-the-point person. I'd think a pretty obvious hint that I don't want to talk to you is when I ignore you. I admit to being a busy girl, and I really do lose conversations. I'm talking about when guys

Hello readers, I know, it's been a long time. The holidays are a crazy time, and I've been incredibly busy in my personal life, on the never-ending hunt for a new boyfriend. I really need to get a few things out there, in letter form. Dear potential boyfriends of America, I don't think I should have to write most of these things down, as they seem rather common sense to me, but

Hello readers!Ok. I know I'm a bad blogger and haven't written lately. But today, I feel like I have to, cause a topic came up in casual conversation that I feel might help a lot of people out.Ever heard of Newton's first law of motion?

Hello! Greetings and Salutations!So. In the last couple months or so I have discovered that dating sucks. I haven't ever really "dated"... most of my relationships are extreme "forever" commitment from the start, with me moving in instantaneously. So this is new for me.Met guys that seem interested, then blow you off and never talk to you again. At least have the courtesy to tell me you're not

Hello readers!Well. It's been hectic. Since you last heard from me I have made at least 2 horrible mistakes, had at least 5 bad ideas and done 15 stupid things.And today I have decided to stop the avalanche. Realize when I've made a mistake and don't make a new mistake to try to cope with the original mistake. Accept it and move on.Any advice how to do that?

Hello readers!As someone who works in the IT field, it is strange that I would ponder what we have gained and what we have lost by becoming incredibly more electronic.Today at work, life was disastrous. Some poor girl tried to email a simple request to our electronic support mailbox. Thanks to a slip up, she inadvertantly mailed her request to all users who have our instant messenger tool

Hello readers!Tonight I watched the movie Adam and Steve. The plot was easy to follow... two guys meet in the 80's, and the meeting goes terribly. They don't see each other again for years and when they do they end up dating and falling in love without realizing they had already met.This movie made me laugh for several reasons. My best guy friend is madly in love with another man, so I sympathize

Hello readers!I apologize for the lack-o'-blog at the end of last week. I was busy preparing for what I have termed "Hell-weekend 2007". I had to spend a total of about 13 hours driving with 3 children ages 5 years, 4 years and 3 months. Let's just say, not fun. So today, I was hoping for some peace and quiet - when sure enough work was hectic. I've come to realize that silence is something that

Hello readers!Today's blog is going to be about social networking sites. I have accounts on both Myspace and Facebook. Lets start from the beginning. Summer 2000 - First, I had AOL. That was the place to start when you were 18, got your first computer on your own. Places - Minneapolis and me all the way. I actually don't remember what my very very first screen name was.

Hello readers!Friday I wrote a little bit that probably appealed to my bpd-suffering readers more than anyone else, but I promise it can be applied to everyone else too! Today's blog is going to be on that same line, primarily for those readers, but I think everyone can get something out of it.Today I'm going to write about acceptance.

Hello readers!One thing that my therapist and I have discussed at great lengths is catching yourself before you fall. When a person with bpd encounters an obstacle in the "road of life", let me tell you, they fall and they fall hard. This leads to cuts and bruises that last for a long time. They lack the ability to see ahead that the road clears up, and they lack the ability to learn from their

I'm not much of a TV watcher - I get my news from the internet and spend most of my time on my computer listening to music and surfing the webz or watching DVD's of one of the shows below.Tonight, one of my favorite shows (House, season 4) has it's season premiere. for anyone who has not watched House - get with the program.

I bought a new one back in April-ish from Walmart. It took pictures, but they were rather low-quality and it was extremely sensitive- it had a long shutter time that you could not adjust, so almost every

Hello again readers!Today I'm pretty lost in thought... and I'm thinking about friendship. I have very few really close friends, and I like it that way. Lonely, yes, but I know who I can count on to tell me not to go blonde because it will turn out orange and who will remind me of the 239 reasons why I can not upon penalty of a broken heart go back to a certain ex-boyfriend.

While I view it as a worthwhile purchase, as I really needed a new phone, I very easily could have lived without it. How do you stop being an impulsive buyer?

Hello readers!As my close friends know, I'm having some problems with my sister. The number one problem being that I have paid our rent for most of April, all of June, July, August, and now September. The amount of money she owes me has exceeded $2000... an amount which I can no longer justify "putting off", especially now that we've gotten another eviction notice. Prior to living with her, I had

I watched it last night and I am not sure if it was because I was also putting away laundry/doing chores in my room at the same time or if it was due to the depth of this movie, but it's been a long time since I've felt like I need to watch it again to get everything.From what I gathered, the movie is told by a narrator and it is all

It starts with Carolyn (Ricci) starting her senior year of college. She is in a very preppy sorority, competing with a rival sorority for Sorority of the Year. She has a perfect tennis star boyfriend, and everything

Hello readers!The power of the mind is amazing, isn't it? Have any of you ever heard of "the secret"? I was shown the video on youtube. (I can't add the link from work - youtube is blocked. Search for The Secret). The readers digest version of the secret is this : WYSIWYG.I normally live an extremely depressed life. After I watched this video months ago, I started to think: why am I stuck in a

Hello Readers!Have you ever been unable to feel? I used to feel loved when I was with Matt #2. I felt sexy, happy, outgoing, youthful... and I felt hated, disgusted, outraged, offended, abused, berated, worthless. By now I know that he wasn't the one, he was kind of using me, it didn't mean to him what it meant to me. The point is, I felt.Now, I have mini-emotions, but never like overwhelming

Hello again readers! Thanks for sticking with me.I was driving in to work today and I started thinking. Note, I drive from Burnsville to Shoreview daily, so I have a lot of thinking time.Why on Earth do I live in Minnesota? I'm an adult, I could move to anywhere I want.Well, the most obvious reason I stay is because my family is here. Family means a lot to me, and I don't know that I could move

Greetings all you blog readers-Another thing I like to blog about is movies. I have Netflix, and enjoy chosing the more obscure movies rather than the big titles my sister often chooses.I recently Netflixed the movie Prozac Nation. As someone suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar disorder, this movie was pretty high on my to-rent list. It is based on the biographical book by

Well, not really.I have blogs all over the place... Deadjournal, multiple on Livejournal, Myspace.... but I thought it was time for a new one. Start over fresh- no angsty heart-broken posts about men who've done me wrong (which seems to be an ongoing topic of discussion), no updates on my weight loss endeavors (yes, I have a blog devoted to just that), no adorable pictures of me or my kids (you
