Vacation!
Danasaur on Fri 30 Oct 2009 at 3:25 AM
I don't have to be at work for what seems like ages. This is good. Lots of time to do all those things I feel too tired to do or feel like I don't have time for. Lots of reading, dog walks, cooking and

Happy Moments
Danasaur on Sun 25 Oct 2009 at 11:31 PM
I feel most lost these days when the sadness fades away and I feel happy. I want to share it, for its been gone for so long. The happy moments are somewhat few and far between still, but I am glad to h

The End
Danasaur on Thu 23 Jul 2009 at 4:35 PM
The blog has been lacking, not for lack of materials, but more due to self-censorship. Ok, maybe not so much myself, but I haven't been writing about things I usually like to post about because of the

Home
Danasaur on Mon 20 Jul 2009 at 3:56 PM
So on my usual quest to find a new home I found a lovely condo not too far from my own. Much larger and nice vaulted ceilings, something I could see myself being somewhat content living in. I think its

Post Pride
Danasaur on Mon 06 Jul 2009 at 12:01 PM
June was a fast month full of sunshine. I spent more of it enjoying outside and observing than I did trying to think of posts. Now Pride has come and gone for another year. I didn't really know what I

Prop 8
Danasaur on Tue 26 May 2009 at 10:24 AM
I don't tend to follow a lot of American politics, but in the past years I have to say I have been reading more about things going on south of here. For two reasons, there is a lot more international i

On being submissive
Danasaur on Mon 25 May 2009 at 3:30 PM
If you had asked me a year ago if I would ever find myself in a relationship where I felt like the submissive one I would have laughed in your face. I have been examining my role over the past little w

Celebrity
Danasaur on Thu 21 May 2009 at 10:40 AM
I go through phases where I am interested in celebrity gossip, and then I realize what I am wasting time reading as 'news'. Sometimes they are interesting stories about using fame for good, but most of

Your girlfriend is a lesbian?
Danasaur on Wed 13 May 2009 at 2:28 PM
Well maybe yes and no all at the same time. I am still struggling with any sort of label for myself. It is moderately irritating that the man introduces me as his lesbian girlfriend. Its a lighthearted

New focus
Danasaur on Mon 11 May 2009 at 9:40 AM
So I have felt this blog is becoming very disjointed over the past little while. I like how its a bit of everything, but also it irritates me. I have been working with the domain I purchased last year,

Tasty treats!
Danasaur on Thu 07 May 2009 at 5:48 PM

Lacking direction, therefore I baked.
Danasaur on Tue 21 Apr 2009 at 3:33 PM

This road, or that road
Danasaur on Thu 26 Mar 2009 at 1:17 PM
Most days I like being a nurse, some days are far more challenging. Verbal abuse and lack of respect from both patients and their family members in wearing me down on an almost daily basis. It seems si

Roller coaster day
Danasaur on Tue 17 Mar 2009 at 9:08 PM

Danasaur on Mon 16 Mar 2009 at 4:23 PM
Its spring, as it evident from my walk home from work this afternoon. I did a enjoyable 8 hour shift today. 8 hours flew by, when comparing it to my usual 12 hours. I probably haven't done and 8 hour s

Avoidance
Danasaur on Sat 14 Mar 2009 at 1:16 PM

Thoughts from the night shift
Danasaur on Thu 12 Mar 2009 at 3:51 AM
I am sitting here slowly watching the minutes go by, the minutes until I can go back home to bed that is. I have another night shift tomorrow so I plan to spend my day in bed. I may wake up mid afterno

Danasaur on Mon 09 Mar 2009 at 7:39 PM
I think I love being on vacation. Who doesn't. I didn't really blog or check email, just a few tweets from my phone. I had big plans for blogging this weekend but the real world was more important, and

Danasaur on Thu 05 Mar 2009 at 11:03 PM

Danasaur on Sun 01 Mar 2009 at 8:14 PM

Shopping
Danasaur on Thu 26 Feb 2009 at 5:36 PM
So as I often do I got rid of stress with some retail therapy. I haven't really bought much in the way of clothing or shoes for a couple months. There are lots of sales on around downtown so I ended up

Food time!
Danasaur on Wed 25 Feb 2009 at 5:09 PM
So the cheese version of my little crackers turned out ok. They were a bit more puffy than I would have liked them to be, but I think this is because I used different flour than I regularly buy. They s
