0309/Wee570312.jpg 0309/Patty210312.jpg What a weird day... First of all, as I drove home yesterday, I think it was about 50+ out, with blue skies- it felt like spring. I was happy. T0 . . .

Wow... It's amazing how easy it suddenly is to get over someone, when there is someone else to distract me. yay, yay, yay.0 . . .
well, I did it. I had hoped that our little chat last night could let me 'end on a high note' or whatever. but apparently that's not how he wants to play the game. So, I am res0 . . .
So... I'm in NYC, woohoo!! My hotel room is very weird. It has a full kitchen. And the wi-fi (which is NOT FREE) sucks ass. It keeps dropping the connection, and when it is connected, every0 . . .

Such opposing emotions in a breakup. I love him, but I hate him. I want him to be happy, but I want him to hurt the way I do. I want him here every second, and I never want to see him agai0 . . .

First- nice to see all you peeps out tonight. :) And next... in a little bout of panic, I have gone back and removed some identifying details from recent posts. Sometimes I forget how small this t0 . . .

Bleh. I am totally full of self-doubt lately. Work is shitty, and I'm kind of scared about that. I'll save that lovely story for another time. Or never. But my usual source of doubt is boys. S0 . . .
So, I apologize for all the negativity lately... But with that said, I will continue. (somehow I don't get all worked up about good stuff, just stuff that pisses me off, lately.) I wish there wer0 . . .

Ok, so dinner ran late and it's 7:30 and I'm just about to get in the shower- cozumel at 7 obviously isn't happening. But don't give up hope, we will be there eventually!! Or call me 348-6310 u0 . . .
Ok, so this whole bday thing hasn't bothered me at all, until a mini-freakout last night when I realized "holy crap my 20's are over in an hour and what do I have to show for it??" so I w0 . . .
Hello peeps, I'm back. Did you miss me? New user song is the Guadalcanal March, from Victory at Sea. Inspired by e:dragonlady7 's post. Random crazy family stuff, probably not worth going into. 0 . . .
This is just a mini-interlude post til I get home and have pix and stuff. (besides I'm having trouble posting anyway since Safari is suddenly crashing q5min.) But I just wanted to say- room servic0 . . .
dammit.... Safari just crashed and made me lose my whole post. And I don't have the energy to re-write it. Maybe tomorrow. But thanks for the comments on the last one. You're all right. I had a0 . . .
(to continue the thread of journals that makes me appear completely shallow and boy-crazy, I add:) Dude!!!! Why am I SO incapable of closing the deal????? SO FRUSTRATING! So, despite how I may m0 . . .
So I'm already starting to be sad that my date-boy hasn't called or anything. I don't even know if I like him, but now I'm kind of hurt b/c I think he's rejecting me. I'm too old, too boring, etc, (0 . . .
Ok peeps. Next friday is my (and codypomeray's) 30th bday. I was originally thinking of maybe having a big party, but I don't feel like having to clean up afterwards, so now I'm thinking more of jus0 . . .
I'm on that strange utter-exhaustion buzz right now, so I have random thoughts to share; I apologize in advance. I just raced "myself" home from work. It was awesome. At a light I notic0 . . .
First, a boy emailed me on my myspace. Who on further investigation turned out to be the same boy that drunkenly hit on me on St. Pat's day. He didn't know it. Very funny. And when I apprised him 0 . . .
Well last night was a big bust again, as usual. I had been looking forward to it for weeks... Finally a chance to go out drinking and stay out late and not have to get up early in the morning... 0 . . .
Ok, so it's a freaking beautiful day out there. I just hope it's not going to snow tomorrow or some crap like that. On the way home from work I was cruising along with the music blaring and the wind0 . . .
So I finally made it to Niagara Falls today. And what a beautiful day it was... Not quite Matthew-quality, but here are a couple pix. Dare I hope that spring is here to stay?? 0406/IMG_05510658.0 . . .
No offense mrmike, but- WTF is up with adelphia! My cable bill is like $140/mo. That is for ONE person. Granted, I like my tv, and I choose to pay that much. But still. For that much money, I 0 . . .
Happy Easter, peeps! Now that the fog in my head is settling, I can relay the tale of my stupid night. Ok, so like several peeps have been lamenting lately, I have not had a good fuck in a LONG ti0 . . .
So.... feeling a little more my normal self today- full of rambly thoughts. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's that my (intended) 2hr nap yesterday turned into 7hr (at the expense of work, but whatev0 . . .
So I ended my last mopey post saying I was going to go eat too much. Well I decided instead to not be self-destructive, and to take advantage of all my fresh veggies before they go bad, and I made a 0 . . .
I wish I could feel better. This is unlike me. I'm always miss happy-go-lucky. But ever since yesterday, everything just feels wrong. I made the stupid ass mistake of talking to my ex.&n0 . . .
Dear men/boys of Buffalo: You suck. You have broken me. You win. I give up. (and you don't even care.) Love, J0 . . .
Hmmm... not too much to say lately I guess. I hate ECMC. I hate trauma. Spent 24 hours yesterday dealing with a guy in a car accident- started at 6:01- i hadn't even taken my coat off, when mercyfl0 . . .
Funny.... in my last post I mentioned Wesley Willis (e:jenks,105). And then Lee mentioned him today. (e:leetee,159). So just for you Lee, my new usersound is "I whupped Batman's ass" by W0 . . .
So I felt like switching up my song... and was looking through itunes... I have SO much music I have never even listened to... I found so many things I wanted to put up... Decided on this b/c this gu0 . . .
Ok- this will be very quick since as usual I am at work and should not be online. I have a week of vacation coming up- first week of may. Happens to include the big 3-0 bday. I want to go do s0 . . .
This is awesome... I finally just followed the link in an email a friend sent me months ago... I guess there was a contest where people re-cut the trailers to famous movies to make them seem like 0 . . .
So in a surprising twist of events, I managed to make it home without any sort of travel disasters (lost luggage, flight delays, etc). Now just to prepare for ECMC, bleh. But we managed to un-Fark0 . . .
It's been >36hr since I've had internet access, and sadly I must admit it was kind of getting to me. My brother was having trouble getting this bluetooth thing to work, and I kept grabbing the lap0 . . .
100th post, woohoo! Just a quick little anecdote. Just in case I had any doubt that I do, in fact, live in a soap opera... So there's a girl I barely know at work... but her nickname is barbi0 . . .
What's your pimp name? http://www.playerappreciate.com/pimphandle.asp I am Reverend Doctor Alexis Rockefeller. I just realized I will be estrip-less this weekend. Whatever will I do!! (0 . . .
What a loverly day... I worked last night, didn't get much sleep, ran home, changed, and went straight to the dentist to get my tooth drilled. Not my favorite way to start the day. But then I cam0 . . .
Oh, where has the day gone... I'm sad. I think I am getting in trouble at work, since I am always so fucking tired that I can't motivate to study. Not to mention that when I DO have a day off, I 0 . . .
So.... I just realized that today is my 21st straight day at work. Make that 22nd, since it is now after midnight. And I have 5 more days until I finally get a day off. No wonder I'm losing my mind0 . . .
Ok, so I moved to Buffalo knowing NO ONE. Like not one single person. Well aside from the few people from work I met for an hour when I interviewed. So one day when I first got here, I did a little0 . . .
So many things are bouncing around my head... May be a little discombobulated if I try to include it all (but since when has that stopped me, right?) ;) Reading e:twisted's post... makes me jealo0 . . .
Oops, so I'm retarded. There is no beer tasting at Shango tonight. Upon second look, the article that said "beer tasting tomorrow"- was posted on JAN 24th. It's the last wed of every 0 . . .
Ok, this is a superquick illegal post from work so I will get to the point. Just saw in the artvoice that there is beer tasting at Shango tomorrow (wed 3/22). (Shango is "new orleans bistro a0 . . .
First, Happy Birthday Matthew!! Next: so not only am I missing tonight's festivities, but I also can't go to this: "Fine wine, intelligent discussion, shredded Cuban roast over couscous, ho0 . . .
Ok, so I like the Faint, but the opening of that song was a little too grating. So now you get a totally random little ditty about hotdogs.... (The Detroit Cobras, in case anyone is interested). 0 . . .
So I wanted to post something because I'm sick of seeing the lone star every time I log in. But, I'm too tired to form complete sentences and coherent thoughts. So I just leave you with a new us0 . . .
Ok, so i've been lamenting the fact that Boy I Like, Boy Who Likes Me, and Boy Who Is Not Off-Limits cannot all be same person. And it's totally bumming me out. Everything is always way too complica0 . . .
So I don't know what's with me these days... I just can't seem to get my mind around anything. Can't focus, can't concentrate, don't want to DO anything that I should do... All I want to do is slee0 . . .
(originally posted as a comment to e:enknot's comment on e:leetee's journal - but he said (forgive me for paraphrasing) something about not wanting to see the anchor businesses of a thriving business 0 . . .
God I'm an asshole sometimes. So my old ipod headphones died. So I wanted new ones. Not total pieces of crap, but not like $400 things either. So I decided to order two pairs with the thought th0 . . .
Happy Sunday everyone... Just felt like putting up a quick post that is NOT about the hotel NOT about politics, and NOT bitching about work or boys... It's a beautiful day out (or so I hear?)0 . . .
So I've just had a bit of an epiphany. And I've decided that: guys who don't appreciate me can just go suck it. As you may have noticed, I've been doing a lot of "why don't guys ever like me,0 . . .
Wow... I may have found someone date-able in the hospital! Most of the guys are either married, jerks, or egomaniacs. Or more often, some combo of the three... But there's one guy I've noticed for0 . . .
So apparently I'm not the only one that thinks my Work Crush #2 is Hotty-McHott. I mean for one, he's simply a good looking guy. Tall, fit, nice features... literally tall, dark and handsome. Secon0 . . .
Excuse me, I think you have something on your face... Oh. Right. It's ash wed. Doh. One of these years I'll remember. Yet another perk of atheism- I do/eat/drink whatever the hell I want for the0 . . .
So, I had my nipple pierced this weekend. After I had my tongue done (9 years ago), everyone's first reaction was a raised eyebrow, a "why??", and sometimes a request for a blowjob. And I 0 . . .
Wow. What a weekend. Seems to have taken a lot out of me, as I am now in a funk. Crying for no reason (well, no legitimate reason)- and worse than that- I just turned down (actually, didn't eve0 . . .
Found this article for Joshon- http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/24/national/24twins.html?_r=1&oref=slogin (it's about twins in school). (But mostly I'm just proud of myself for actually havin0 . . .
Wow. I love music. It can have such strong associations with people/places/times/events/feelings etc... It makes me dance, it makes me cry, it makes me think, it gets stuck in my head ALL FUCKING D0 . . .
(and Josh, you think you went short?!) So in case you haven't seen one of the 8000 identical pictures of myself that I have posted lately, this is what my hair looked like before today: 0206/SA40 . . .
So... I like what I do. I really do. But sometimes it's hard to remember that. And I hate that I bitch about it so much, and I apologize. But my hours suck.... suck suck suck. I get one day off e0 . . .
So I was at work last night and we had to take a kid to the OR. And in the little holding area outside of the OR there's this machine that keeps all the drugs locked up. It's very tightly monitored.0 . . .
whew, not sure what came over me last night... sorry for putting you all through that. feeling back to myself today. Boys don't suck. I take it back.0 . . .
So I might be a little drunky and a little buzzed, and it's a LOT past-my-bedtime since I need to be at work in like 4 hours, and I will probably regret this post in the AM and delete it, but what the0 . . .
What the fuck is up with this town? Cancelling school for WIND? That is about the pussiest thing I have ever heard. Work sucked today. Seems to happen on full moons... So I had to stay late, an0 . . .
not to be a 'bitter-single-on-v-day-girl', but... I thought I was over him... Then saw him in the "who's checked me out" section on Friendster, and it made my heart skip a beat. Damn yo0 . . .
So, since it's looking like my chances at food+drinks+sex for v-day are slim to none, I'm thinking the next best thing is food+drinks+friends. So I just wanted to send a little message to gauge inter0 . . .
Grr, this is a redo after crashing, but here goes... So last night we had a Girls' Night Out in honor of Yvonne/imk2 (who, for those of you who don't know her, is a knockout, and a Cool Chick. Fuc0 . . .
So I had lunch with one of my kick-ass med students today. He's such a nice guy... And helpful... I wish all students could be this good. And his english is fantastic, but he's not american, so onc0 . . .
Ok, I have too many pix to put into a post, so you'll have to check out a link. (This is the first time I've used this new web-publishing program- must say I think the slideshow is kinda slick!) E0 . . .
Hmm, I thought I mobl-posted a pic of timika sitting on the floor in the bar last night, but it appears it didn't come through. Probably for the better... So last night I headed over to coles ->0 . . .
So this adorable girl, excuse me woman, that I work with is like 7mo pregnant. And she's complaining about feeling fat and clothes not fitting etc. (but she has the cutest little maternity outfits! 0 . . .
So this morning I got to work and went up to our call room... and there were 3 guys there, my co-residents and one of the med students. As I walk in, the student has his pants off in the hall, changi0 . . .
Not too much to say lately, which is unusual for me. (haha, it's been what, two days since I posted? Feels like ages) My pre-exam caffeine/insomnia buzz seems to be clearing (though not due to ca0 . . .
Ahhhh, just got back from a long leisurely stint at spot. And Holy Peep Sighting, Batman! I think we counted seven... Myself, e:ladycroft, e:theecarey, e:joshua, e:jason, e:salvatore and e:decoyisr0 . . .
You know, this place is great. I love being around mature adults who can argue and disagree but still be friends and respect each other... I was kind of nervous after posting some of what I wrot0 . . .
Ok.... thank god that is finally over with. Until next year. I think it went better than last year, but i hope better-enough to improve on last year's pathetic performance. There was a lot of stuff0 . . .
(I started this as a comment, but it got way too long.) Oy, this is a huge topic... But I think valid points can be made on both sides. I don't believe in God just b/c I think it's a bunch of imp0 . . .
Not that most people are insomniacs by choice... But right now I feel like the opposite- I think most insomniacs WANT to sleep, they TRY to sleep, but they CAN'T. (correct me if I'm wrong.) But righ0 . . .
Ok, so work fucking blew yesterday. People are being weird and bitchy and high-schoolish. Whispering to each other, excluding people... god it was miserable. I spent the whole day running around tw0 . . .
Good things about spot tonight- 1: the hot guy working there who was very nice and complimented me on my necklace, and gave me a free cookie on round 2. (he loves me. I know it.) 2: finally did a 0 . . .
E:mike is this you sitting next to me at spot? 0106/0532129001138166457.jpg0 . . .
Bleh. I'm sick of being sick. And I must go study. But a few things to share. First, some lyrics from a song i like- I've kissed you in France and I've kissed you in Spain. I've kissed you i0 . . .
This is not supposed to happen to me. I never get sick!! Now this is the third time since thanksgiving! I have been trapped in the hospital all day today, feeling my throat get more and more sore a0 . . .
So I'd been planning on a nice quiet weekend full of lots of studying, but then suddenly I grew a pair and gave the boy the old heave-ho. Which was kind of traumatic. And brought about insistant inv0 . . .
Ok, even by my standards this is probably over the top, so I'll keep it short. I woke up from my nap to 6 comments, 2 emails and 2 voicemails. Dinner invites, drink invites... I love my friends. 0 . . .
Ok. I did it. He's gone. Deleted. Done. Hardest thing I've done in a long time. I'm scared to death. And I haven't cried this hard in a long time. But I don't need that shit in my life. 0 . . .
I love when boys are adorable... One of my friends at work is getting ready to propose to his GF. he's so cute, she's so cute... he's so nervous and in love. And I feel so lucky to be part of the s0 . . .
Well, it seems the ante has been upped. So... Work is still tiring. And long and hard (unlike other parts of my life- har har). Today I did 8 operations. Some lifesaving, some not. But I got o0 . . .
God, what a dreary, ugly, depressing day it is out there. I think I will take a lesson from e:jason and hibernate for a while. (i wish). But so I just got my gas bill. I used TWICE what I used l0 . . .
to read the rest, go to e:jenks .0 . . .
Good "morning" peeps. I cannot think of a better way to spend my first day off in two weeks than sleeping til 11. I loooooove sleeping. Don't really love that the day is half over when I 0 . . .
Ok so I just lost another post b/c IE is misbehaving. But bottom line of my long-winded message: D'Brickashaw may be the MOST ridiculous name I have ever heard. I thought it was a joke. I 0 . . .
Ugh. I just got home from work. At 2am. Went in at 7am this morning. Have to be back at 7am tomorrow- until noon on saturday. They are killing me. And taking a sick day/personal day/etc is not a0 . . .
Going to be late for work; but- For the record, I am not a fan of high-schoolish drama and secrets either. However I did have my reasons for remaining partially hidden that I can't/won't go into h0 . . .
haha. Wow. Maybe I have ADD. Or maybe it's alzheimer's, ha. I had thought of a few things I wanted to say. And now I can't remember a single one. Isn't that great. Hmm. i was probably going t0 . . .
I had just written a big post and it got lost b/c "mysql server is down" or something. Boo! And since I don't have the energy to retype it all- here's an outline. I: I wish I could quit0 . . .
0106/IMG_03272300.jpg not the best pic, but the only one i've got.0 . . .
Ok e:peeps. I did it. Met a real live estripper in the flesh. woohoo. (thanks for lunch, e:ladycroft). So that's it, my cover is blown. I guess now I can stop playing the semi-anonymous game I w0 . . .
(God I have a serious procrastination problem.) After "i'm just going to check my email for 5 min" turned into hours online (much of which spent in e:strip chat), I finally decided it was0 . . .
Time to take the tree down- boo! 0106/0678673001136273465.jpg0 . . .
Ok, I feel like killing a little time so I'll fill out ladycroft's survey. But first a disclaimer- though I do spend more time online than i probably should, I have not in fact been online since ye0 . . .
Well I tried to send a pic of all the champagne empties, but something isn't working. But I also wanted to clarify: That last post was the lyrics to the song "Somebody" by depeche mode. 0 . . .
I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details Someone who'll stand by my side And give me support And in return She'll get my support 0 . . .
I really don't know what it is about me that I seem to attract all this ridiculous scandal into my life... Talking to my friends- they do not have any of these crazy stories, and marvel at mine. Saw0 . . .
Ahh, south buffalo literacy... (and LC what's your number?) 1205/0419004001136027044.jpg0 . . .
just a little public service announcement... First, I extend my deepest sympathy and empathy to those poor souls suffering from abscesses of any form, but especially gluteal/perirectal/buttock ones0 . . .
A little belated, but finally got the pix out of my camera. 1205/tree3142.jpg My cute crooked christmas tree (wish I had a lit-up night shot though) 1205/IMG_03563231.jpg and totally unr0 . . .
You probably shouldn't bother reading this, as I am just ranting and whining. I am a resident. That means I have finished medical school. I have MD after my name. I.e. I can call myself Doctor. 0 . . .
And now for something completely different... In case there are any guys out there that read this, you are probably sick of hearing me bitch and moan about boys. So I have a techno question for 0 . . .
That's it. Ex-boyfriend is done with. Over and gone. I cannot talk to him any more. Please make me stick to this. Schmuck couldn't even wish me a Merry Christmas. Last straw. Enough is enough. 0 . . .
First of all: MERRY CHRISTMAS!! (ok, and happy hanukkah, season's greetings, etc.) I guess we are not little kids anymore... I woke up at 9, and am the first person awake. Unbelievable. A far c0 . . .
So as I think I've mentioned, my parents are coming to visit for christmas, since I don't get enough time off to go home. So my mom had told me that I'd "better" do a good job decorating. 0 . . .
So I almost forgot about my other work boyfriend until I saw him this morning for the first time in a few weeks. So damn hot! But I swear it's his clothes that have me smitten. he dresses impeccabl0 . . .
Not sure what happened today... I had written a nice long (happy) post, and I clicked publish and it never showed up, and then I got error messages about the server being down all day. Seems my post0 . . .
Ok first off, I promise that one of these days I will post something nice and happy, and not me whining about boys or bitching about work, or telling depressing stories. Believe it or not, I AM a pre0 . . .
Jesus. I want to cry... So there was a nasty car accident a few days ago- car lost control on black ice and crossed the divider and hit an SUV head on. Mom and two daughters. Three year old girl br0 . . .
Have fun at the party everyone.... Wish I could come and meet some of alls y'alls. (wow, the new orleansisms come out at the oddest times) Alas, I am sitting in my little hole praying that no one0 . . .
I swear you would think I'm in high school if you could see the thoughts that go through my head. I'm not sure I think about much beside boys these days. It's pathetic. I think my (younger) sister 0 . . .
AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrGGGGGGGGGGGGGhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am SO FUCKING SICK of being treated like shit and not respected/appreciated. 0 . . .

Ok, I'm sorry, I'm not usually this much of a sap, but- Ok I retract that statement since it is a huge lie. I am definitely a sap. But in any case, I couldn't not post this picture. Is it ju0 . . .
I have plenty of silly pet peeves, as I imagine we all do. Pardon me while I share two that get me steamed: 1: People who insist on taking the elevator DOWN ONE floor. Particularly when the stair0 . . .
So once again my inability to say no to social opportunities and skills as a master procrastinator came out tonight... I am working tomorrow. All my friends are going to the Bills/Pats game. I've n0 . . .
This is my first attempt at posting pix, so we'll see. Unfortunately I didn't think I'd be able to take a camera in, so all I had was my phone. Then of course they didn't check bags, so I could have0 . . .
I generally have the worst luck in the world, but for once, maybe I got a break! I've been asleep on the couch all day today since I was on call last night, and I almost didn't answer my phone when m0 . . .
So I can't stop listening to this song. Even though it makes me cry every time I hear it, I keep listening to it on repeat. Not sure if it's TOTALLY depressing, or has a little optimism in there s0 . . .
Sigh... Saw my work crush again today. So cute.. So nice.. So smart.. So funny.. So flirty.. So married.. Dammit!0 . . .
ahh... the smell of fresh new blog... But I'm cranky and work is killing me, so I will keep the rantings to myself for now. This time I will just say hello. :) Maybe later...0 . . .
Sorry e:peeps... Fear I may have overstepped my bounds. Maybe stepped on some toes. For that I'm sorry, and I take my leave. Arrivederci0 . . .
So once in a while (generally when I have more important things that I should be doing, like now), I like to think about my skills, etc. What am I good at, what do I have to offer, what am I horrible0 . . .
Well, here I am... Guess it's time to say hello. I have never had a blog, since I don't consider myself much of a writer, and am completely UNcreative. I could talk to a wall for hours, but when it0 . . .
