Rescuing Hug →
Twin girls, Brielle and Kyrie, were born 12 weeks ahead of their due date. Needing intensive care, they were placed in separate incubators. Kyrie began to gain weight and her health stabilized. But Brielle, born only 2 lbs, had trouble breathing, heart problems and other complications. She was not expected to live.
Their nurse did everything she could to make Brielle’s health better, but...

Danger? I laugh in the face of danger. Then I hide until it goes away.

Ye (American) Gods! →
I’m going to hold off on getting too excited about this. However, Neil Gaiman himself is working on it, so hopefully he’ll keep all of those silly HBO people in line.
I should make it clear that in my opinion Neil Gaiman is himself a god. I’m pretty much willing to go along with anything that he endorses.

Final Fantasy XIII-2? →
So, we’re trying this whole sequel thing out again, Square-Enix? Really? Admittedly, there’s no way it could be as terrible as FFX-2, but I really liked it better when Squaresoft (yeah, way back when) would just make a single, comprehensive game. And frankly, I thought that XIII had a perfectly fine ending. No need to continue.
…Could we at least have a huge crystal stalactite...

The Passage of Time
I’ve been cleaning out my clothes drawers, forcing myself to send many t-shirts to the horror that is The Attic (insert ominous music here). I’ve come across a shirt that says “Smallville High School” on it, that I stopped wearing when people began asking me if I watched that show. The answer was no, of course. I’m far too much of a purist for that. And so the shirt...

Achilles and Starbuck
Read the Iliad? Seen Battlestar Galactica? If you said “yes” to both of these questions, then think about it: Achilles and Starbuck are so similar! There’s a scholarly paper to be written, here.

Perspective
The world has a way of adding perspective to things. I’m a sensitive person, and feeling rejected hits me hard. I truly feel as though I’m not ever going to stop being in love with the person who recently left me; I’m going to have to deal with that, one way or another. It’s probably been the most important thing on my mind since it happened, and it’s definitely still...

Sleep
I can’t get any sleep. I stare at the ceiling. I think too much. I cry. I hate myself, and writhe in the physical manifestation of my emotional pain. Wash, rinse, repeat. This is really getting to be too much for me to handle. Depression doesn’t suit me very well.
Happiness
It’s remarkably easy to fake.

Pathetic
It’s become apparent to me that if one were to simply read over my posts up to this point, I would seem like a rather pathetic person. Lots of depression and angst and whatnot. Rest assured that this is simply a short-term thing; having one’s girlfriend break up with you can do this to a person.

Platonic Cuddling
I know you want to; but how can I cuddle with you platonically when I’m in love with you?

Charm
I wish I were charming in that awkward way that women all seem to appreciate. Like Michael Cera, but with a multifaceted personality.

Wishes
If I had three of them, I’d wish that I could have you back. Or that I knew the future, so that I could know if I ever find someone who is better for me than you.
Or for a unicorn.

The feeling that makes everyone into a whiny bitch.

Sometimes I just sit in my room, my head in my hands, waiting for you to come knock on my door.
I miss you.

Nerdgasm
I’m a nerd. I’m comfortable and happy with this fact. Occasionally multiple aspects of my nerditude collide, and what comes out of this beautiful union is what I like to call a “nerdgasm.” I was recently afforded an opportunity to create my own nerdgasm: a combination of my love for comic books and my enjoyment of the Latin language. I was asked to translate essentially...

Feeling Allegorical
The runner prepares for the race perfectly; he eats well for days in advance, rests himself the day before, and gets plenty of sleep the night before the race. It’s a day that he’s been excited about for some time, and he wants everything to go perfectly.
This is the big day: the day of the marathon. The runner gets himself to the starting line exactly when he planned to, and gets in...
