• Must find a solution

  by Meredith Newton August 31, 2004
  Classes went well today.  They think I'm nuts.  I read this love poem that was written in ancient Egypt where the woman talked about catching a fish and stroking it for her love.  Now THAT is a fetish!  But I was so homesick for some reason.  I couldn't wait to get home.&nbs...

• It's a long long road, from which there is no return

  by Meredith Newton August 30, 2004
  Interestings days We had a garage sale yesterday. Not a success, but not a failure, either.  We did make some money. God/Buddha/Krishna knows we need it.  I guess overall it went well. The nicest lesbian couple bought one of my musical instruments.  JJ, Cerys - COPYRIGHT YOUR WOR...

• My face hurts

  by Meredith Newton August 27, 2004
  Have you ever had a time when you cried so hard your face hurt? My face hurts I almost came out to my mom I am not a freak. I am not a bad person.  I wouldn't wish my life on anyone. My face hurts

• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Meredith

  by Meredith Newton August 26, 2004
  All right, night 3 of the training.  I was ready to debate!  But I stopped myself. They weren't going to listen, so why bother?  But I did bait them, like a tiger ready to pounce. In one of the STUPID group exercises I was called upon to explain my position. "As someone who does a lot...

• Sorry I disappeared suddenly yesterday

  by Meredith Newton August 24, 2004
  Yesterday, after I got back from school, we went over to the local library branch. I used their internet connection to type in the class e-mail addresses into my group lists. When I finally finished that I thought - taking a chance - to log into TW. Just as I was getting into the chatroom I was bein...

• And awaaaaaaayyyyyyyy we go!!!!

  by Meredith Newton August 23, 2004
  Tomorrow starts the new autumn term at my main part-time school. I was at first a full time visiting assistant professor (temporary, that is) and they asked me to stay on. Then they had a full time slot, and I was first in line. The university president killed the job due to budget reasons. Tom...

• Looking a little grim for the home team

  by Meredith Newton August 21, 2004
  Another row last night.  Great. She came home cranky and it escalated from there. But at night it got worse. Part of it stems from my underemployment. No matter how hard I tried I could not get that elusive full-time spot ANYWHERE.  Even the lowest of the low jobs I couldn't get. With my a...

• Learning to let go

  by Meredith Newton August 20, 2004
  One of my problems is letting go of things, such as any fights or arguments that are dead and gone. There was a little one last night, and being TG is one of them. She wants me to tell her sister, which I do agree with. I wanted to before but never got the chance. Her best friend knows. In fact, I c...

• Didn't keep my mouth shut, did I?

  by Meredith Newton August 19, 2004
  First, let me say thanks to Mariette, Maria and Nena for the e-mail invites concerning the mobile phone messaging. I don't have a mobile phone, unfortunately, so I can't participate! Last night was night 2 of that damn training. It wasn't so bad (it wasn't so good, either). I did finally speak up ab...

• All right, I'm a stuck up bitch

  by Meredith Newton August 17, 2004
  Yeah, yeah, I'm a primadonna bitch.  I am so grateful that school wants to use me, yet I bitch about having to be "trained."  After over ten years of both full and part time teaching, tons of publications, a book to hopefully be published, well, here I go again.  Sorry.  It still...
