love and hope and sex and dreams: The Big Burn-Out
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2010/03/big-burn-out.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Monday, March 22, 2010. Yesterday, he was telling me some adage about trying to cut down a tree with a dull chainsaw- how if we don't relax and recharge we become "dull" and can't really get things done. And over dinner, I looked at him and said, "you know, that's what's going on with me, I'm burnt out.". It's similar to how I felt after I graduated. I can't necessarily afford to take a huge vacation though, so the weekends in Hunti...

love and hope and sex and dreams: Third Time's the Charm
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2009/05/third-times-charm.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Third Time's the Charm. I've been thinking a lot lately about that saying, and beginning to understand it in the context of getting over one's old bad patters of picking a mate. They say (and we all know who "they" are) that we marry either our mothers or our fathers, depending on who has most influence our upbringing. Girls usually marry their fathers, while guys usually marry their mothers. I've since learne...

love and hope and sex and dreams: Bloggers I used to know....
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2010/03/bloggers-i-used-to-know.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Bloggers I used to know. The other day, I looked at my short blogroll and decided to click through several of the blogs to see who was still active. A lot of them either aren't active or their blogs no longer exist. I don't know why I keep them in the blogroll- maybe out of sentimental reasons. I want to remember them, even though they're not blogging any more. I think of What's Cluttering My Couch? So, ma...

love and hope and sex and dreams: Who am I ? Where am I?
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2010/03/who-am-i-where-am-i.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. I just started a part-time job in retail- again. I had one five years ago, at a place that wasn't very professional. This place, however is *very* professional. It's different from any place I've ever worked in my whole life. And I see possibilities in working there. But I think to myself: how long can I work retail? Is it really worth it to put in time thinking about it. Or if it's too late. Can I do it?

love and hope and sex and dreams: Integration
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2009/08/integration.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. Two things have run continuous through my life: Barbie dolls and books. I think it's because those are the two things that I remember receiving at an early age (about 2 or 3) and are the two things that I've held onto the longest in my life. And while I've left behind my books from childhood, my Barbie dolls seem to have traveled with me whereever I've gone. I think I went a little nuts back then. I reali...

love and hope and sex and dreams: "You're a good writer..."
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2010/03/youre-good-writer.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Thursday, March 18, 2010. You're a good writer.". The other day, someone left a comment on one of my old blog posts: "You write well," she said,"Don't doubt yourself. I'll forward your blog on my Twitter page.". I keep thinking of one of my favorite professors in college, who, I remember, looked at me one day and said "You know you're a good writer, don't you? A little over a year ago, I finally 'fessed up to needing medication for ...

love and hope and sex and dreams: Completion and Acceptance
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2009/06/completion-and-acceptance.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Over the past few months, there's been a number of things in my life that have reached completion. It's a good feeling to put these things aside, to know why, or know the solution, or to know enough to just let them go. Here's what's gone on. Digestion problems are over! Subsequently, I've been enjoying eating things I haven't been able to eat for years! Family problems are over! And, honestly, I don't feel mu...

love and hope and sex and dreams: The Dream Job
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2010/03/dream-job.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Thursday, March 18, 2010. A short time before graduation, I remember sitting down with one of the career counsellers, who proceeded to ask me "What's your Dream Job? So, I kinda freaked out on the poor woman. Thing is, I now see where my particular "dream job" both hadn't been invented yet, and was something I didn't think I could do. And that being an online community developer is my dream job! Only time will tell. I'm Just a Girl.

love and hope and sex and dreams: The Joy of Sharing One's Interests
http://lovehopesexdreams.blogspot.com/2009/05/joy-of-sharing-ones-interests.html
Love and hope and sex and dreams. Better Living Through Popular Culture. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. The Joy of Sharing One's Interests. Sometimes I bitch and moan that it's people my age who are just sticks in the mud. Then I remember that I had the same problem when I was in my late 20's, early 30's.except I had a couple of guy friends back then who were also into that kind of stuff. So, on one level it wasn't all that lonely. Oh, fuck that. For years now, I've been selling myself short though when it com...
