Awesome:
Someone I know was in the Weekly Dig's Exit Polls last week, and his answers included "I'm on the drugs," and "I'd stick my dick in her winkin' eye!" Verdict: awesome.
I saw a toddler the other day with a t-shirt that said "This is what a feminist looks like." Also awesome, but perhaps a bit presumptuous; I doubt the two-year-old chose it him/herself.
I finally tried on my dress for my sister's wedding and was very relieved that it fits, seeing as I've felt a little moo-y lately. It needs to be taken out a teensy bit so I can breathe comfortably, but otherwise it's perfect. Whew.
I worked at the bookstore last week, and it was nice to be around people all day and break my hermit tendencies. I ended up spending most of what I made working that day on books, but that's pretty awesome too.
Not awesome:
I still feel like shit much of the time.
I no sleep so well.
I hate the work I'm doing.
Life is still hard and confusing, and I still keep waiting for it to get easier, even though I know it won't. I'm not sure whether this makes me an optimist or a chump.

life might not get easier Genevieve, but eventually the way we deal with it does. be kind to yourself...you are an incredibly special creature.
