    Weekly Wrap Up (Jan. 5 - Jan. 11)

    By wildone

    First a disclaimer, I'm tired and none of me editors are around to read the wrap up for me   I hate to say but the first couple of weeks have been terrible for our US friends and neighbours it seems. With LA burning down and the east and southeast getting blasted by ice and snow, I have to say I hope that all of them are okay  I'm sure there is other places too that are having strange and wakey weather too, like Friday we had an actual thunderstorm (rain) and a blizzard Saturday night.

it will be magnificent -

I didn't know what you saw in me, but I was grateful that you did because you were the only person who ever had.   Up until then, I was strong... but you made me weak.   the feeling petrified me.   "cheer up, sweet beautiful boy. you are going to love again & it will be magnificent," my mother had always told me.   ...     "to tell you the truth, I don't have much to offer. but I'll still give you everything I've got, even if it's barely a thing at all.

I hate fruitcake

Unfortunately, my dad doesn't. So amongst all the holiday baking I need to do for Thursday, I'm making him his annual fruitcake. At the moment, I've got 42 pounds* of dried fruit, and those nasty green cherries he insists on, soaking up really good rum. Waste of booze.   And, just for Vic, since I know he'll ask:   Chocolate swirled pumpkin cheesecake, Boston cream pie, mixed berry cobbler.   *may be a slight exaggeration

Missing pieces

Okay, I've been a little erratic lately. Sort of comes with the territory of growing up I think. Funny, most people can blame their issues on their mates, their children, hell even their pets. I don't get those outs. lol   I just found five Thanksgiving cards I forgot to mail. I feel like an ass but still putting them out in the mail. I have bills waiting for my paycheck to come in so I can I send them out. Feels like all I do is work to see the money go out. I think it is that time of the yea

Musings From Me

University!

Hello everyone!   Now, i'm not dead (as some people have been led to believe ). I'm in fact very much alive.   More alive than I ever have been. Ever since the meeting in August, i've been feeling more... appreciative of myself. I have a horrible fear of embarassment and I realised that I could be myself. Then university came along and i found out not everyone is out to spite or hate me. Some people are genuinely there to care and be a friend. Before coming to uni, i never really had any tr

What a whirlwind Weekend

Paya and I have had THE BEST weekend ever. And at the risk of making everyone throw up with our couple-cuteness, I thought I would recount the weekend here for everyone to enjoy - especially because the last time we visited London was the UK GA meet in August.   On Thursday I met Paya at Manchester airport. His plane was early and my train was late, resulting in a nice meeting alongside one of those "rolling road" people movers (the flat escalators). We took a train back to the city that li

Nobody likes you when you're 23.

case of the ex.

so, my housemate's ex-girlfriend came to visit last night.   she was running early and my housemate was running late, so we ended up hanging out on our own for an hour and a half, watching Back to the Future and having a really intelligent conversation about product placement in Hollywood.   fast forward to now, and my housemate's current girlfriend is sitting on the couch, talking about how funny Will Ferrell is and shouting quotes at the television while watching Step Brothers.   fuck my

"Oh my god, I think I killed him!" , the young woman holding a shovel shouted.   I answered, "I'll check. Stay back. Where is he?"   She said, "In the back yard. He surprised me on the patio. He tried to grab me but I smacked him." Her hand were shaking as she held the shovel at port-arms.   I pulled my Beretta and clicked off the safety and pulled my mag-lite.   I keyed my radio and said, "This is one-L-19 responding to complaint of a prowler, I'm Code 2 at 145 Pine Valley Highway. 10-7

Early Warning

"Look, I know you weren't really ready to talk to me, but I have to tell you what has been going on. Just listen to me ..." the voice on the phone said.   I sighed at my cell phone. The clock by my bed read two oh-three am and I had a crazy woman on the phone.   "Jessie. How nice to hear from you. What gave you the idea that I didn't want to talk to you. Not taking your calls, ducking your voice mails or actually hiding from you?"   Now it was Jessie's turn to sigh. "Oh come on Philip. We'

Holidays - meh

Okay, so we sit a week before Thanksgiving. I'm sort of confused but I think at this time of the year it is is normal. I work full time in retail. That means I am supposed to get no less than 32 hours a week. In fact the latest thing to come down is all full timers will have 36 hours a week. Well they keep scheduling me 30 hours and I have to find ways to add the two hours in so I stay full time or I lose my health benefits.   Well next week is Black Friday. i work in one of those wonderful co

Things are getting done - sort of

Well the Thanksgiving cards are out. I bought my Christmas cards. For me that is a major step this year.   I have my father's birthday card and gifts. Still trying to figure out what to do about Christmas for him. I forgot my sister-in-laws birthday. I wonder if that makes me a bad person? Anyway I ordered off Amazon, and sent her card out. All I can say is Oops, I'm human.   I posted Seeon yesterday, partially because I was having a bad day and partially cause I know the site will be down

NaNoWriMo

So, I have decided to do NaNo again this year. My last effort Death By Dreaming turned out pretty well so let's see with this one.   Thanks to Maria for forcing me to wait for two days before starting even though my head was bursting with ideas, so I started on November 1st like a good girl.   So. I have the whole thing planned out... as much as I ever do, although I doubt that I will be sticking to it; I never do.   The characters are pretty wild this time and there's a lot of action, So

Trials and Tribulations

I just published the first chapter of my first story ever. It's a coming out, coming of age story about the trials and tribulations of Andy Collins and friends as he confronts his sexual orientation in a small mining town of Pine Hills nestled away in the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky.   I would love for you to give it a read and let me know if you liked the chapter and would like for me to continue the story. I know I will make mistakes,but hopefully I will learn from them and not

Progress

Okay this is literally what I have as my check list this week.   1) Complete Chapter 29 of AH - Done. In fact it is one of the longer chapters. I'm nearly done with 30 now. Thank goodness.   2) Complete work on Seeon - We have successfully broken him up into chapters, expanded upon areas that were weak, and he is going for his last look over by the editor now that the beta and I have cleaned him up. Hopefully I will be posting chapter 1 later today. Remind me that prompts are supposed to be

And Off We NaNo!

Ok I'm still up so it's technically still November 1 for me. Deal with it.   I have no plot.   I have no plan.   I just finished roughly 1700 words.   It's going to be an interesting month.   Go! Go! NaNo!   p.s. I'm not going to be giving daily updates. Every 3-4 days should be sufficiant don't you think?

Prep and Execute

Okay, so it has been a busy month. Oh yeah today it just day one. LOL. Let me explain. First, Happy Birthday Mark. Now I screwed up and didn't get his gift out in time it seems so he didn't have it today. The joys of dealing with many different postal services. But that just begins it.   This month I have family birthdays - my sister-in-law, and my father.

S.L. Lewis Many Thoughts and Updates

NaNoWriMo 2011

Are you doing it? Huh? Huh? Huh?   Isn't that so annoying? Yeah? I thought so.   Anyways, quick note on me: I'm good. Slightly sick but good all things considered. I don't have any cable because the cable company can't get off their fat arses and fix it, which I'm okay with at the moment. I'm somewhere with fast net. I'm good.   As for me, I'm doing fanfiction this year. A story that has been biting my own arse to get me to write it. Yeah. It's called Like a Bullet, is a Bleach AU, comes

Life's curves

Life's curves   I don't know, I get so confused sometimes. I listen to people talk, read stories (fiction, i know) and like all stories there's usually a grain of truth in them. They do came from someone's experiences. Like it's been said, there's nothing new under the sun.   Years ago I admitted to a friend that being gay scared me not because of what other people thought, since I had been through so much already by the age of 27 to worry with opinions not my own. It scared me because I nev
