    Arts and Crafts - Character-istics

    By Cole Matthews

    What elements make for a believable character?  What can writers add that aids in the complete and utter suspension of disbelief?  Lots of thing come to mind like quirks, back stories, associations, inner thoughts, tribulations - and the list goes on and on.  However, something many authors have done with beloved recurring characters is to give them hobbies.  Certainly Sherlock Holmes had several and varied 'pursuits'.  Agatha Christie had Miss Marple constantly knitting.  Let's try rounding out

Socrates' Gad Fly

< LULZ     In any community of like minded people, there is a serious problem: they are LIKE-MINDED. Discussions invariably reach the same conclusions, the facts are all agreed upon and rarely challenged.   The danger involved is that such a once dynamic community faces a serious danger of becoming static. Anyone who has a dissenting view is an idiot. Dissent itself is discouraged and shunned.   The truth becomes lost somewhere in the sickly sweet goo of good intentions called politic

Friends, enemies and....maybe some lovers, some of the words got preggers with each other cause Word documents suck =_(   I come here to today to declare my departure from thecommunity of GA. This means I won't chose to post anymore, or participate.   Why you ask?   Well, I can't find myself adding anything more to thecommunity to make it better. I haven't been posting up much writing, so thatkills 80% of what this site is to begin with. When I do post its usually mean,crass or in ill humo

Update

Hey everyone! It’s been far too long since I’ve been around GA but even longer since I posted a blog but I promise to keep this short. For the past few months I’ve taken a step back from the site in order to get my personal life in order. I’ve been through some rough spots lately and I’m still not sure where exactly my life is headed right now. I’ve been in and out of physical therapy for about 3 months now but I’ll most likely have to go back in for more surgery. Nothing serious, just a minor s

Ouch

No need to sound so amazed. I don't have an exceptional memory. I just remember what we talked about last time we chatted even though it was 5 months ago. Of course I paid attention to what you like, to what your interests are, to what we have in common, to what is dear to both of us. That's what I do when I have a crush on someone. I'm stupid like that.   You obviously don't feel the same. I guess I should have known when you said I wasn't really your type but that there was no harm in

Disappointment to the Extreme

Yesterday I found out I have 4 impacted wisdom teeth that need to come out stat. The dentist told me to make an appointment with an oral surgeon and when I did, I let my job know that I would need to take time off for recovery. I was told off the bat that I was not covered under FMLA and would have to put in an unpaid absence and that they weren't certain if I would get it. When I heard that, I was at a loss for words and began to research it and my employer found a loophole with using my annive

I’m proud !

I’m proud to be what I am, proud of my successes, proud of my errors, proud as well of my qualities as of my defects, proud to have arrived at my age with scars at my heart and at my body but alive, with still sufficient forces to enjoy the life and to ensure my place among the warriors. I’m proud of still being able to help around me, to be accepted by my peers, to have been able to preserve some friends, not to have forgotten those who left us for always. I’m proud to have released myself f

- I fell in love with a Crack Addict. -

[Not a poem, this is like a personal diary entry based off a recent event in my life. Give it a read and tell me what ya think. (: ] I was shopping with my mom when I encountered him. We were in an upscale boutique, admiring the elegant, but not particularly eye-catching clothes. A boy wearing a pair of skinnies and some brand named sweater came in. I had seen him earlier, on a street corner, shouting lewd comments at some respectable-looking man. He edges up to us, looking around frantica

Whacko for Flacco

I was at a bar tonight. Some DC business dudes noticed my University of Delaware flacco sweatshirt. I got it back in fall '09 when I was drunk at Homecoming. This one guy wanted to buy it off of me, because the Baltimore/DC area apparently doesn't sell Joe Flacco UD swag. I wound up selling it to the guy for forty dollars. Plus the two drinks I got, and the tip I would have given the bartender, I wound up clearing about 48 dollars.   The best part is that the sweatshirt had almost little to

She's not there

I've loved this song my enitre life. I usually think of the original version by the Zombies, but I've heard others that I've liked as well. I didn't even mind when "Glee" did a cover, though like all the times they've done a cover of one of my favorite song, I've been wary (though twice I feel their interpretation improved it on the original, such as "Bad Romance").   And in all the times I've loved and thought about this song, there was one reading of it I never considered, and that stopped m

Even if you want to sigh; smile for me, for the world, for you.

Melange Lavonne is one of my favorite lesbian artists. <3 If you need some inspiration, then give these music videos a watch. <3 Things definately do get better, but only if you want it too (:         and yes, I cried (surprise surprise)! X'D "You got to be strong, your not alone in this fight, take a stand for equality and fight for your rights." I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening, remember to always stay sweet and lovely as always, xoxo,     Tony

Tiger Poo Effective Pest Repellent

Study: Tiger Poo Effective Pest Repellent 03/10/2011 Source Link: Animal Planet Blog     Researchers in Australia have discovered that the smell of tiger feces is a great deterrent for crop-chewing creatures like goats and kangaroos. The idea is that the smell of a predator nearby will keep these animals away from certain plants.     A team of researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia spread tiger poo collected from zoos near the feeding troughs of goats and found it t

Army of Shadows (French: L'armée des ombres)

Army of shadows (French l'armée des ombres) is a 1969 french film about the fights of the French resistance during WWII. I saw this movie recently, which reminded me of my own memories of the period 1939-1945. I was 10 years in 39 and 16 years in 45. Living in a neutral country, surrounded on all sides by German forces, we expected every day the Nazi invasion. Our army of 600,000 soldiers

Tiger blood and other crack head horse shit

You can't turn on the TV or go on the tubes of the internets without running into the crackhead formerly known as Charlie Sheen.   After regaling us with tales of "socially" using crack and talking his way into getting fired from a shitty shit-com, he's now suing everybody in Hollywood not playing along.     I make no secret of being in recovery. In fact I help other addicts if I can. It's part of the 12 steps that Charlie THE CRACKHEAD is too good for.   To be perfectly honest, we dre

March is Developmental Disabilities and Intellectual Disabilities Month!

It's March and while most people think of March Madness or Lent or Mardi Gras or St. Patricks Day, it's an important month for me and the clients I work with. As some of you may or may not know, I work for Arc, but a chapter in NJ (not gonna get specific as people might stalk me ) and I happen to work with the month this awareness is all about. I honestly think it's important to bring awareness to the men and women I work with only because no one really thinks about them.   I work with a wide

A normal blog for once <3 (:

- A Confession - I was reading a blog post earlier, and I never knew how powerful photographs could be, a snapshot of the heart. I secreatly wish that when I do meet my prince charming, he'll somehow capture my beauty by taking lots of photographs of me. Now I know that this may be a ridiculous wish because in reality, I tend to hate most photos of me-and especially as I feel insecure about my body and my facial expressions that believing that I could be photographed beautif

New Addiction....

I'm sad to report I have a new addiction, and it's one that's going to be a bugger to quit. I've been doing it for most of today and on and off for the past few weeks. It's driving me insane and hopefully doesn't progress even further. What is this addiction you may ask? Well, I'll let you all know since the first step to quitting is acknowledging your addiction.   I'm addicted to scrabble.   Save me.... saaaavvvveeee mmmmmeeee.....

How do you know if a relationship will work?

I'm really in a mind to not try getting a boyfriend for a while. Dating is such a confusing affair!   So far this year, I dated this one guy, whom I met over a dating website. I don't multidate, like some people do. I like to concentrate on one objective, and I do trust that the other guy is doing the same.   We had many things in common, never ran out of conversation, have pretty similar outlooks on life. The fact that we are both bi-lingual French-English was a definite plus.   After

Confessions of a Self Confessed Technophobe

So, I was thinking about all the sexy new sigs and thinking 'WOW I wish I could do that' and knowing it was never going to happen.   And then this pm popped up and I opened it and there was this angel flying around who blew her trumpet and announced... Lo I bring tidings of great joy, for this night shall be born on GA a sig of great sexiness.   No, seriously, it was Cia who offered to make me a sig.   And then we met on MSN and we chose a picture (which incidentally Cia took.

- tell me your pain -

Lately I’ve been having the same dream over and over again.   I dreamt of a beautiful boy on top of the highest hill.   He was singing, dancing and he invited me to join him.   So I climbed that hill, but it was so steep.   I kept climbing and climbing   but the hill just got steeper and steeper.

Ten weeks and other ramblings

Today marks ten weeks - ten weeks you ask? The baby is ten weeks along. I hope to post pictures in the gallery later tonight.   Speaking of ten weeks, I have to say what an amazing person our surrogate is. Of course there is the obvious, that she is carrying our kid for us, but above and beyond that, we got SO lucky when we found her. First, she takes everything so serious. More than many soon to be moms I know. She won't drink cola because it is bad for the baby. I mean she researches

Life is worth an entry

Recap:

Well, let's start at the beginning, first there was darkness, then there was light.....   I am dating again and this time, it feels like a keeper. Politically, we're closer to each other than anyone else before in either of our lives. We're both insufferable intellectuals with a keen eye on debates.   I have never been so attracted to another man as I have with him; it is like we complete each other.   Okay, here's a few things thought I know and noticed between us:   1. He's really big
