The Fiery Quill

I just have to tell everyine that my brother is the coolest person on the face of this earth! If I had the coolness he has in his pinky finger, I would be all set. By cool I mean that my brother has serious style and is always the nicest dresser in the room. Not to mention the nicest guy in the room! My brother is also cool because he takes such good care of me, believes in me even when there's not much to believe in, loves me at my most unlovable, and stands by me no matter what. He saved me from being burnt by our crazy next door neighbor(I was 3), rescued me from the mean babysitter who laughed when I fell off a chair and hit my head (I was 4), and let me play with his Legos. I have learned so much from him and aspire to be like him. He is always willing to help me and offer advice, no matter what the topic. He's the one who created this blog for me! The other reason(s) why my brother deserves to have this blog dedicated to him, is because he is such a good person. He treats...

You know, I was completely in love with this young man we'll call Rob. For 3 solid years (and then some), he was the only one for me...even when I wasn't the only one for him. Even though we both dated other people and were officially boyfriend/girlfriend for only about 6 months...I always just knew that it was a matter of time when he would realize that I was the woman of his dreams. But alas, life intervened and it never happened. The reason I broke up with him the first time, was because he did not feel the same for me as I did about him. He couldn't tell me he loved me, because he didn't feel that way. Breaking up was one of the most painful things I have ever done. But it was choice I had to make. We remained friends throughout....although there were times we didn't see each other or speak to each other for a month or so. We always came together at some point. Then about a year or so later, we started seeing each other again. It was so wonderful and I thought m...

Ok.....For those of you have been following the drama, it turns out that we did find another, better apartment than the one we got scheisted out of. So things eventually work out, right?! We can start moving on Feb 21st (just great that it happens to be a Monday....real useful!), and I have already started packing this past weekend. Dum da dum dum....now starts the dreaded task of throwing things out and packing the appropriate items into their neatly labeled boxes (argggghhh). This is a milestone for me...this will be the first man I've ever lived with in a boyfriend capacity. I have many questions about how this is going to work. Such as: Will he ruin my sleep pattern when he comes in late at night from work? Which way does he prefer the toilet paper to hang? Does he squeeze the toothpaste from the middle or the end? And most importantly, will the answers to these questions annoy me? I've got one thing to say about this living situation: thank God for the second bathro...
