To all the boys I loved before...thanks for...
In college, I waited tables and cocktailed at Trudy’s Texas Star - a Tex-Mex restaurant blocks from the University of Texas campus popular for their two-limit Mexican Martinis.
That was back in ‘03 and ‘04 when the people that worked there had been there on average 5 years - the kids who were cool before we really knew what cool was. When it was still acceptable to laid back and...

I saw my first ever episode of 30 Rock tonight. Loved it. And the above is my new mantra.
MY HOPE

For ever night I have to stay in, I know there will be a fun night out in the future.
For ever time I eat alone, I know there will be a night when I can pick-up the check for friends.
For every time I wish I was working on something I enjoyed, I know there will be a time where I couldn’t believe I’d be getting paid doing a job.
For every time I’m bored, I know there...
I feel like...

I am ready to jump off a cliff… in a good way. About to free fall into some awesome opportunites. :)
I am ready to jump off a cliff…in a bad way. In fact, if it weren’t so fucking cold outside, I’d drive my ass out to the lake and actually jump off a cliff. Anything to feel something other than the anger and frustration that has consumed me today.
On nice guys...
My very first boyfriend was from one town over. We met at the skating rink when I was 14 and immediately deemed ourselves boyfriend and girlfriend.
Our three week relationship consisted of talking on the phone 3-4 nights a week and then meeting at the skating rink on Saturdays.
Then he broke up with me.
I was heartbroken.
We talked a few days later and agreed to get back together.
But then he...

The Irony of Technology?
First, I want to say that I am so incredibly grateful that I was a teenager in the late 90’s. (Graduated HS in ‘00.) My 16-year-old cousin has a BlackBerry. When I was 16, I had a bag phone that had to be plugged into your car to work.
But what amazes me, more and more about technology - especially the “social networking” capabilities of the Internet - the Facebooks,...
Performance Anxiety?
I have never had a problem speaking in front of a crowd, meeting new people or presenting to clients or college classrooms.
Yet nothing strikes fear in my heart or raises my anxiety levels quite like having to record my voicemail greeting.

SUBJ: Want to get MARRIED on 10/10/09 (or know someone who does)?
Hello Ladies- I’ve had some changes in my wedding plans. I had booked the date, 10/10/09 at The Plantation House (check it out it’s amazing: www.plantationhouse .us ) The money I’ve put down in non-refundable. ..BUT…they have been gracious enough to let me find someone to “take over my...

On Negative Capability.
- A theory of the poet John Keats

Confession...
I have brushed my teeth at least four times today. I’ve got the worst kind of bad breath - “I haven’t eaten in five days but went and had two beers last night” bad breath.

What I’m Working On This Week
The last couple weeks have been devoted to research on Ebstein’s Anomaly and Cornelia de Lange’s Syndrome in children under the age of 5, a heart defect involving abnormally formed Tricuspid valves and a syndrome that spans multiple congenital anomalies, respectively.
The past few days I’ve been writing things up on Pancreatic Cancer in young...

My Apologies
When I decided to attempt to sit at this here ‘cool kids’ table, I thought I would serve it well.
Alas, I’ve discovered that as a tumblr, and thereby as a person, I’ve begun to suck.
I promise to stop. I promise to stop being a whiny baby. I promise to bring my content, and thereby my life, up a notch.
That’s all.

They hardly ever play anymore and they are amazing. Far better than the other Matt White, as great as he is.
My original plans for tonight included going to see Jimmy Lefavre down in Gruene. However, this popped up on my dashboard a few days ago, made me go, “hmmm” and so now my plans have changed and include seeing the Matt White Band with my friend Jill who was estatic to...
Lesson #345
Don’t ever, ever snoop.
Even if it’s not related to trust issues. Even if you’re just ‘curious.’
Learned this one the hard way.
