Relationships
Communication
In any relationship, romantic or otherwise, communication is vital. None of us are very good at reading minds, despite how often we may think otherwise, so when one person in a relationship goes silent, the other is left guessing. They may guess correctly, of course. But they also may guess incorrectly, which can lead to …
Hopeless, Bleak Despair
I’m sitting in my house, listening to They Might Be Giants (who are currently singing a song by the same title as this post) and other songs that are meant to be happy ones in the hopes that it will improve my mood. It’s not working. The rest of this post might be a big …
My Phone Won’t Stop Beeping…
So I posted this one little status update to Facebook a couple of days ago, and ever since then my phone won’t stop beeping. It beeps when someone posts a comment, “likes” the update, when someone emails, when someone texts me, and when someone calls me. In the interest of integrity, I guess I can’t …
Not Single…
While Strutter hasn’t updated her status on MySpace and Facebook yet, we’re not single. We had a serious discussion yesterday after work, and she is going to try not to drink any more. As in ever again. I conceded a free pass for her 30th birthday (August 21) which I know was wrong of me, …
Full Disclosure, or How Stuckey Lost His Strut
I haven’t been completely honest with you. I’ve been withholding information which, when revealed, will explained why I’ve stopped blogging. I’ve just gone back and made a post from January public. It will give you the truth I’ve been keeping from you. If you don’t feel like clicking a link, I’ll sum it up for …
Valentine’s Day, 2009
So for Christmas, I wanted to get Strutter a Ninetendo Wii. I really like playing games with her, and wanted to get something that would have more games of the type that she would enjoy. So I placed an order for a Wii at the beginning of December, expecting that it would take a few …
The Elephant in the Room
I’ve written this post privately several times over the past year, and every time I have eventually gone back and erased it. While I’ve written about very personal things before, I’ve never written about the personal matters of someone else. Aside from some possible legal ramifications, it’s simply not fair to them. So I kept …
It’s Time to Up Her Rent
Strutter and her menagerie moved in over the weekend. This means that my house smells vaguely like dog, there are a ton of packed boxes in the living room, and my bed now looks like this: It’s going to take some adjustments, but I think things will be fine.
Six Months…
It’s funny how you can look back on a day six months ago, and feel like it was just yesterday. It’s also funny how you can think about how you’ve only known someone for six months, but it feels like forever. And whenever you feel like you’ve known someone forever, and it feels like only …
