With no commentary, except to say that my feelings on this fluctuate over time, and it might offend you.
"Inventory" is Down, and I am Pleased", my take on how I felt about some of my female friends getting dates. I have to admit, I'm even more militant in this area than ever. I'm no longer going to spend lengthy periods of time wondering if I should be dating someone or not. It does neither me nor them a service. Am I wrong?

I decided to start digging around in my archives, as I'm too busy for a new post. Here is a post titled "Better, not Bitter", which touched on a frequent annoyance of mine. If I were marketing myself, no one would buy; I have a habit of downplaying my good habits and experiences. Read the entry from January 2006 here.

I have decided that I no longer want to leave up posts that I posted years ago. I don't like the idea of leaving the posts up indefinitely as a representative of myself, and besides no one ever reads my archives anyway. I thus will be featuring my most interesting writings one last time before locking them up in the vault, forever, along with my hair clippings when I was 2 and my first lost tooth (thanks Mom!). To read all of my archives for 2004, just look at my weblog archives (left-hand side of the page, way down).

July:

Yes, once in a while I wrote about my everyday life, but it was boring:  http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/105142444/item.html

August:

I talked about how to build confidence and our need for confidence http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/123758071/item.html                          and I also talked about my need to communicate better http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/118205681/item.html .

September:

I rip poor Ross from Friends for his lack of confidence: http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/131225611/item.html

Once in a while, I played games with my readers, such as the Fortunately/Unfortunately game. I don't know why I didn't do games on here more often. http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/131914220/item.html

October:

This is a suprise to me--apparently I was upset with the Republicans even before the 2004 election was complete: http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/146865015/item.html

Some story ideas for movies, including something that sounds suspiciously like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They stole my idea!!! haha not really. http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/140999093/item.html

November:

A serious post on whether Natalie Portman could continue to be hired as an actress once she got a little older. I said no. http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/162976163/item.html

A funny post on the death of Yassar Arafat, complete with fake AP reports from various sources. http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/156645650/item.html

December:

I wrote a lengthy trilogy about Sin in the World. That's me, only the most upbeat topics! Flip to December 2004 in my archives to read Parts 2 and 3; here's part 1. http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/165605414/item.html

I love getting nervous on answering machine messages: http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/169480895/item.html

I have decided that I no longer want to leave up posts that I posted years ago. I don't like the idea of leaving the posts up indefinitely as a representative of myself, and besides no one ever reads my archives anyway. I thus will be featuring my most interesting writings one last time before locking them up in the vault, forever, along with my hair clippings when I was 2 and my first lost tooth (thanks Mom!). Since many of you have finals anyway, this is a good use of my time and yours. I will get to the girl with skills and nice guy post in the next few days, promise.

My Site Introduction. Uh-oh, I may have broken rules 1 and 3 in the past year. http://www.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/91845588/item.html

It took me only about a month to confess my crush on Jo in Little Women and my everlasting respect for the Bronte sisters. I feel my testosterone levels plummeting as I type this recap. http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/96461370/item.html

I talk about my changing gifts (or lack there of), and quickly delve into my interest in teenagers and people with eating disorders. I find my interest in those two categories a little disturbing in retrospect. I was only 24! It was all youthful indiscretion! ha. http://weblog.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/100648109/item.html

Stereotyping people according to their talents and gifts is usually unwise according to this post. Good thing I never did that since then--um, who wrote this Girls With Skills post on my blog? (whistles, looks nervous) http://www.xanga.com/GreekPhysique/103793276/item.html

It only looks like I'm packing up my site and getting ready to shut things down, right? Ok, good, that's what I keep trying to tell myself...
