needful things revisited

[plural]

almost two years ago

I wrote the following post

much has changed
and much remains the same
so I thought I would revisit it

things which remain unchanged
have been eliminated in the interest of brevity
you can click the above link to see the entire list



I own a fingernail brush - but for the life of me can not find it

I am inept with the following things

nail clippers, jump ropes, fax machines
have gotten somewhat decent with nail clippers
the rest still haunt me

I am in denial about the existence of microwaves
no longer in denial, my new apartment came with one
but I still hate the damn things

I have been arrested but not convicted
for 14 misdemeanors and 3 felonies
we are up to 16 on the misdemeanors


I have no sense of time or relativity to my past
meaning I don't know how long ago events in my life happened
I must make do with estimating the distance
between two known(?) points in my past
This seems to be getting better
whether it is my skill at estimating
or something else i do not know

I have no favourite anything
this has changed
I have one favourite something
but I am not telling what that might be

I am currently under the influence of alcohol
at this moment I am not
but probably should be

I have two cats Carlisle and Anubis
they are brothers and Tabbies
and they take good care of me
At the moment I have only one cat
Carlisle, Anubis has been missing for several weeks
and we are hoping for his return
Carlisle is doing his best to take on
his brothers workload

I have nightmares which awaken me
with screams and cold sweats almost
every night
I still have the nightmares
I just manage to sleep through them better
these days, the cold sweats however
are almost gone

I am unable or unwilling to trust anyone period
this has altered only slightly
I am able and willing to trust some people
ever so slightly

It has been over a year since I have
had sex with someone who interested me
in anyway other than physically
this issue has been rather a rollercoaster ride
for the most part, I have stopped having sex
with people who only interest me physically



what are your needful things?

I tend to think that I need my boyfriend or that I need my family, but with the consideration that they could readily be taken away, I'm pretty sure I can make do with lip balm and a few boxes of Diphenhydramine HCl.
