i’m just a girl

16-Nov-05

Despite many years of tomboy-foolishness, I’m just a girl (was that gwen stefani who sang that song?). I remember once back during college somebody told me that while I appear strong and determined on the outside, when it comes down to certain things (ie: boys), I’m still such a girl like every other girl. I’m [...]

day in the life of shan …

09-Nov-05

I felt especially worthless these past 24-30 hours, so worthless (and now obviously so bored) that I decided to chronicle it so that i can later look back and say … golly, my life was really pretty lame back in 2005. Monday: 9pm – buy milk and see that laundry room is pretty empty 9:30pm [...]

sometimes

02-Nov-05

… things just really aren’t meant to be … there’s nothing else we can do … the anger and bitterness will pass … it’s trying to remember … it’s about the tears that come at the most inopportune times … things will find a way

cross roads

24-Oct-05

I feel like I am at a major cross roads in my life. I want too many things, and it is impossible to have all of it, but it is also impossible for me to make a decision. Phil’s right … I do have it pretty good … but I’m still not quite satisfied. I [...]

perspective

07-Sep-05

Mandatory evacuations are being called for New Orleans. I can’t imagine being forced to evacuate. Where would I go? Do I need a disaster like this in my life to wake me up from whatever trance that I am in now? That though is rather insensitive to the many people who have suffered and died [...]

forgive and forget

26-Aug-05

One of the most important life philosophies is to forgive and to forget. I often do not abide by this philosophy and instead choose to hold grudges. This is stressful for me because I constantly want to tell people why I hold such and such a grudge. Sometimes, the grudges are because of my own [...]

Ironic

10-Aug-05

Remember 1995? I do. The song of the year (for me) was Alanis Morissette’s Ironic. I memorized her songs, bought her CD (my first!), and all in all worshipped her. Because of this, Alanis has always had a special place in my heart. Who can forget one’s first CD, right? So there have been a [...]

life choices

20-May-05

I am really starting to question my decision to come here. More and more I feel like I am not getting very much out of this experience that I can hold to be valuable, and it takes such a toll on my life, my state of mind, and my general happiness that its worth doesn’t [...]

things i miss vs. importance

13-May-05

I’m thinking about making a new page, a snappier one that’s less artsy, and perhaps more techie? Or maybe a combination of techie and artsy. Anyway, so I thought about how I want my new “about me” page to look. Here’s a thought: There are many things that I miss here in New England, a [...]

looking in from the cold

10-May-05

I miss having spring and flowers and grass, and most of all, I miss being able to dig out my skirts in March and feeling that certain feeling in the air of hope, happiness, and a general desire to be outside. Boston is a cold cold city that does not afford me any of these [...]
