A Glimpse of Normal

A Glimpse of Normal   I showed up for summer football practice on my bike at the appointed time of 7am in August my 8th grade year.   August is a blow torch here in Mississippi. It's not cool in the mornings. It's just less hot.   I was wearing my Red team jersey that I had earned the year before. I was supposed to be on the 8-9th grade starting team but the redneck coach wasn't having any of that. There was no use arguing with him. He just wasn't going to have a faggot on his team and tha

The Democratic Gun

The gun is democratic. It requires little in the way of training or skill. What can be easier than pointing a gun and pulling a trigger? The gun does not care who you are--rich or poor, skilled or unskilled, young or old, strong or weak, smart or foolish, sane or insane, or good or evil. Guns deal death, and death is equal opportunity. Anyone can pull the trigger. What an easy thing a gun is! Anyone can die. A genius may be slain by an idiot, a billionaire by a common thief, or more likely, a go

Csr Discussion Day: Pierced By Jvaughn

This month, a shorter than usual one, I also went with a shorter story. JVaughn's Pierced is a solid read, for all it's only about 20k in length, that I really enjoyed. I was happy to feature it this month, and I hope you're ready to enjoy learning a bit more about J, too. Don't forget to leave your comments or questions. J will be "live" on the blog from 4-6 PM, PST today to talk to you--so make sure you're ready!   Single people often have more time to write. Are you single? Technically, yes

Unbearable Joy

We just finished watching The Theory of Everything, about the life of Professor Stephen Hawing and his wife. Afterwards I cried, and I couldn't explain it to Cris. Right then was another moment when I realized how really wonderful my husband was, because he just said he loved me, and didn't ask why a film about a physicist had left his big strong cowboy in tears.   And the reason is this. The film made me infinitely sad, because the love powerful enough to make one person love another even tho

Help Remove Pat Robinson's 700 Club from ABC Affiliates!

Pat Robinson just compared gay marriage to man-dog marriage. Pat Robinson Compares Gay Marriage to Man-Dog Marriage   Now I've got nothing against dogs but I'm reasonably sure that they have no standing in legal agreements.   Pat Robinson is an ass hat and spreads hate against the GLBT community every time he opens his senile mouth.     Tell ABC Family that this isn't the sort of family values you had in mind when you tune in.   If you have had quite enough of this asshole, sign the p

Time The Illusion

Time is an illusion that we cast by the frailty of our organic machine-bodies. But the mind and the soul are not finite. They persist.   Time is an illusion we cast for ourselves in a world of clocks and watches to meter out the days of our lives. But the foundations of creation do not speak to time. The universe lives and breaths in a never ending cycle of creation, reformation, and recreation.   The universe speaks of change, not death. What was once one thing gives way to the same thing i

So... What's next?

Okay, so Blood of the Neko is completely posted now, and I'm so glad that so many readers enjoyed it. It has made me think about writing a third story--as well as more Neko shorts, of course. I really appreciate all of the reviews asking for more neko, as well as the abundance of ideas. So I'd say one will be coming, I just don't know when, maybe by the summer.   Currently, I'm working on another fantasy/romance (think shifter, but not wolf). I haven't been able to get very far yet (three cha

eBook Review: Bratty Angel by Chris T. Kat

My rating: 4 of 5 stars   Today I'm featuring Chris T. Kat's newest release, Bratty Angel. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Okay, I don't have much to say about this book... except go buy it now! It's a great fantasy, with a mythological twist I really enjoyed. Good and evil aren't quite so clear cut in this tale. Nope, no siree. You find that out when you learn a hellhound and angel are hanging out. And the angel's harassing someone for some pleasure.   Reading this

Ga's Newest Promising Author: Valkyrie!

After a long delay since our last author promotion, we begin today to replenish the list of Promising Authors with the promotion of Valkyrie! Valkyrie is fairly new to writing fiction, having only finished her first serial in May 2014. Valkyrie's stories tend to feature flawed individuals who go through some pretty rough times before reaching their happily ever after -- if they ever do. As she states in her author bio, she is a big fan of animals and several of her stories feature them. In addit

What's worse than being stuck between a rock & a hard place?

The answer is being stuck between a bud and a bro.   There's something you might not know about Southern culture. In some ways we are almost Arabic.   Once we make friends, there's very little that can change that. We're loyal to an absolute fault even when it hurts and goes way past making any sense. Why sure Butch, I'll follow you over that cliff.     There is one place that I absolutely hate to be: in between people I care about in a controversy.   I literally don't know how to han

The Class of '05 Rides Again. (200th Entry- Wow-hoo!)

I just got invited to my 10-year high school reunion. Oh my god, I can't believe it went by that fast. 19 just feels a couple of years ago. Does this mean I'll be 39 before I know it?   Anyway, here are four tunes I associate with my senior prom. (We're actually having our reunion at the same place, apparently. That'll be a trip.)   "Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing   Prom theme. 80's nostalgia was riding high in 2005. They played this on the fake red carpet they set up in front of my s

My Love/Hate Gym Relationship

I love the gym. Its the place I go at the end of my day where I expend the last bit of energy I have and it never fails to leave me on a high when I'm finished. It has given me a focus and discipline like few things have ever given me before at times when I sorely needed it. It has done wonders to my own self-confidence and body image and given me more social confidence, and not to mention helped get me laid more than I thought I would ever get. So what the fuck is there to dislike about somethi

2015 Academy Awards Predictions by BarricadeBoy

THE 2015 ACADEMY AWARDS PREDICTIONS DONE BY BARRICADEBOY   For the first time, I will be predicting the winners of the 2015 Oscars. I haven’t watched all of them so my predictions will be based on Oscar buzz and award season results but mostly who I think will take the prize this coming Sunday night. Some categories are missing like foreign language and documentary because I did not see ANY of the nominees and I did not want to guess a winner.     BEST PICTURE: Boyhood

Reflecting on my decisions - Two years later

Most of you don't remember me when I used to write and beta on a regular basis. However, since the majority of my friends and family don't know much about me - and I'm trying to figure out a delicate balance between keeping my mother happy by not blasting "my unacceptable lifestyle" (trust me, this is a separate issue way too complicated for one single blog post) and keeping my boyfriend happy - I wrote a section of this as a Facebook note, and promptly deleted before posting.   Two years ago,

My Favorite 10 SNL Skits

In honor of SNL's 40th anniversary, I thought I'd post my favorite 10 sketches.   10.) To Love, Honor, and Stalk: The Gillian Woodward Story   Senator John McCain kills it as the "personal space infringer" in this 2002 skit of Lifetime movie parodies.   It is such a dead-on parody of Lifetime movies. I've watched plenty of those.   9.) Schmitt's Gay   Two guys get the best (gay) surprise of their life when they house-sit.   This one made me tingle in ways I didn't quite understand a

endless circles

I've tried to write this so many times, and keep deleting it. I really don't know how to say what's on my mind. My brother, R, wasn't feeling well at the end of October, but our sister, M, thought he could wait until he saw the specialist in December. I spoke with M before thanksgiving when she wanted one of our dad's recipes. I suggested getting R to a doctor then, but she felt it could wait until the specialist visit in December. The appointment with the specialist was January not ea
