Letters to ~L. :Undone

~L.
You texted me asking me what is one thing that I would undo if I could.  I never answered.
Here it is:

I wouldn’t have texted you those few times after that initial date.
I would have waited.

I would have been more patient.
I should have been more patient.
But now I know better now sir.
I’m making up for it.
I’m [...]

Douchebag alert! Username: Durgie

Being a single woman in the greater Los Angeles area, I must say, like most every city, there is no shortage of complete and utter douchebags.  These douchebags give the male race (and the ones that date them) a bad name and thereby ruin it for everyone.
To be fair, there is a perfectly acceptable balance [...]

The List Blogs: 10 things that make me happy (as written on a card sent to the UK)

Miss Hannah Wingfield of Dundee Scotland asked for postcards with 10 things that make me happy written on them. Since I’ve recently started a series on List Blogs, (not to diminutize you Miss Hannah) I thought it would be fitting to share it with you as well.
!0 things that make me happy are (in [...]

The tale of the smuggled bacon

This right here is the culprit of today’s mystery. Much of which, was not eaten by yours truly- as I gave most of it away to friends that didn’t have anything for breakfast.
A friend of mine, to remain nameless as to retain her identity, helped me to smuggle this delectable treat. But smuggling [...]

My weekend 2.23.9

Had a great non regrettable, but regretable weekend.
Scratch that.
No regrets.
I don’t regret any of it.
I’m forever thankful of the people that I have come across.
The only thing that I’m disappointed about…
was not the part where I vomited in front of you last night.
But not having enough room on my camcorder to fully document the most [...]

Project Reorganization:The Balancing Act, episode 1

Once upon a time
In a galaxy.. not so far away…
(Hell I oftentimes feel like Los Angeles is another galaxy after living in San Diego, so give me a break!)
There once was a girl who
Was a bit of a socialite.
Perhaps too much.
And while the parties were grand and the people wonderful… for some reason, it just [...]

Career Ambitions & Wishes: To work on this game

Needless to say, [...]

Random factoids: Marine edition

Random factoids o’ Jena:
I have always had a fascination in all things underwater and scientifical. My favorite animals are octupi and seahorses. I find them to be creations of magic and wonderment that somehow managed to make it into reality, as if by mistake.
I’ve milled over getting tatoos of them many times. [...]

Postcards: Brainerd, Minnesota

Coming home from work today at a haven of corporate technology, I found it quite ironic to receive a postcard from a place called: Brainerd, Minnesota
Brain
Nerd
I’m a bit odd I suppose.
But that wasn’t all of the nearly perfect timing.
The card was from a 40 year old mother of two teenagers named Gina.  She is formerly [...]
