Rework, redo, recycle
I need to rework a few things in my life. Streamline. Trim the fat. Move forward with a new direction. I have been apathetic about this blog lately because I’m not sure what direction to take it in. Personal? Art? Some other applicable theme? It would be nice to have a clear idea for how each of the time investments I have are helping me move toward something instead of just…being...

What's the Meaning of Thirty?
A rarely discussed factoid about yours truly is my age (in human years). Like most things that are awesome in life, my age it’s a double-edged sword for me…both a source of pride and insecurity. I am fucking old all of a sudden thirty years of age. While I’m proud of who I am in many ways, I am insecure about my age. To clarify, this is not because of who I am and what I have...

PTSD and EMDR
I receive daily emails from LinkedIn on various groups I have registered to “watch,” including Domestic Violence, Military/Veterans Mental Health Issues, Sexual Trauma, Co-Occurring Disorders, Forensic Mental Health, etcetera, etcetera…One such group included the following question:
Looking for a good treatment for PTSD.
I am working with a client who was the victim of domestic...

Life is an illusion
It’s important to remember that we can create misery much easier than we can create happiness. I’ve fallen into a negative cycle of creating my own misery. Depression is like a sponge, it sucks in everything around it and swells up so big that you can’t see around it and before you know it, it feels to heavy to move. It drips all over everything, leaving reminders of its...

1. Graduated
2. Got a job
3. Started said job.
4. Got a better job.
5. Started said better job.
6. Suffered extreme case of fatigue/sleep deprivation due to new schedule being a complete 180 from my natural sleep cycle.
7. Beginning to...

Muslimah growth - 1/2 inch
zombiejihadi said: screw him. You deserve better. How can you grow as a Muslimah with negative influences?
I guess I do deserve better. I want to be loved and respected. Plus a cute face and a nice personality would be nice. Is that too much to ask?
Growing as a Muslimah is SO HARD right now. I’m going to get used to it but it comes along with BIG changes. UGH. And I’m...

He wants me back.
I suppose he should have thought of that before he called me Satan. Amongst other things, of course. But man, that one was a real doozy.
Men.

9am Job Interview
A 9am job interview in Los Angeles should be completely illegal. Or, if you make it on time, they should just give you the job. Because if you can ninja traffic like that, you deserve that job. I’m so glad they can’t see me right now. In my pajamas. 52 minutes before I’m supposed to be there.
Ugh.
socialwerq asked: Congrats on your GPA and graduating! Sorry to hear about your breakup. =/

so what?
So what if I’m living on Dominos, haven’t showered in two days and am having conversations with the dog? So what if I wait for the sun to go down to leave my apartment so the neighbors don’t see me? So what if I have no groceries, need to do laundry and can’t bring myself to do anything despite that I’m not working until the end of the month? So what?

PhD?
I feel like if I even think about a PhD program right now my whole family will hogtie me and send me to inpatient. Maybe I should just go to the beach today.

Tartar Control - A TV Pilot →
OMG
My oh my wouldn’t it be great if friends Sean & Robert could raise the money to have a TV pilot? Seriously they are hysterical (and yes, they are my actual friends so I realize this may seem far cooler to me than it does to anyone else) but HEY - why not help out if you love comedy, satire, music, and just in general being entertained? That’s the real question, right?

Final Final
I’m trying desperately to focus on my last final exam. Ever. It’s due at 8am (tomorrow). I’ve been up since 9:30am and the progress I’ve made is seriously embarrassing. I’m exhausted and find myself caring less and less about it. I can’t seem to get motivated. I seriously suck. I’ve made coffee, ordered chinese food, napped, cleaned the...
