This is about a new thing I’ve experienced. This is about that time when I found a way to put my sexual and emotional energy into something productive, rather than analyzing my life while staring at a wall and hoping that all my responsibilities would just, you know, somehow get…met…without my having to do anything but stare at a wall, analyzing, driving myself right into that breed of straight-jacket-craziness I know quite, quite, QUITE too well.

Thumbnail image for The How-To Guide On How To Be Really, Really Fickle

When it comes to love and dating and all that “fun” stuff, there are two people actually calling the shots: the person I want to be and the person I, at the end of the day, am. And, I’m beginning to think that, at some point, one of them is going to have to die the hell off, because I’m sick of trying to satisfy both parts of myself, especially when the person I actually am is the person that is getting what they want.
