    Vacation Time!

    By Valkyrie

    I just spent two wonderful weeks in the south of England, seeing everything from the Cerne Giant (Google it if you're not familiar...  )  to Stonehenge at sunset.  I could write an entire story about all the sights and experiences from the trip, but at the moment, will have to settle with two prompts based of actual things I experienced during my adventures.  PT Prompt #217 After travelling for over 24 hours with pretty much no sleep and lots of Dramamine (motion sickness med that make

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Miles City, MT

Time off was kind of nice, other than getting home late and then having to get up early the next morning. Sunday we (me, the wife, our son, and Bonita) drove over the mountains with Mother's ashes. Our original intent was to take them up to Stormy Mountain and disperse them probably no more than an hour up the mountain. She wanted her ashes scattered on Stormy Mountain and I figured on is a relative term and all things being equal she's been damned lucky I didn't flush her down the toilet.   A

Screwed over again

Here's a thought. Life is just some f**ked up scheme to screw me over. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens just to knock me back down. For instance, I started my classes in August, thinking that it would all be fine, but now my finances are all f**ked up. It's just coming to a point where I'm about ready to give up on ever attaining my education, because I'm obviously not meant to have one, despite my above average intelligence and my dedication to making it happen. What did I

Give Sharon some Oxygen!

OK, I just finished writing this massively long story (Chronicles of an Academic Predator). Poor Sharon, just when she thought she could rest, I started working on a sequel. So those of you who know her, please send her some e-oxygen.

I may be crazy

12 units, and 40hrs+ per week.   Okay, so the 40hrs thing may be a bit of a fib anymore. Truth is I am only at work for 6hrs Mondays and I shag my ass out of that hole as fast as I can the remaining 4 days in the work week. Mondays I have a good excuse, 1 class at 2 in the afternoon another at 7 in the evening. I'm still in that whole getting used to the schedule phase. Should be quelled here quickly, as I already have a paper due for my Friday class, and another due for the English class I'm

Shot Boy?

All kinds of things are happening. It's so much fun, so much going on all at once, and it's just... it's how life SHOULD be. Slightly stressful, but not too much, and lots of good, with a steady stream of continual progress.   Well, I have a new roommate. Allan, my friend who hated his roomie, switched with my roomie so now we live together. Yeah, that's the Allan I made out with. No, I'm not going to make out with him again. It just isn't going to happen because of several factors, bu

Blogging to Ether

Well, it's been so incredibly long since I've posted anything to my blog that I doubt anyone will read it. That's OK. I'll use at as therapy, kind of like psychological masturbation. Actually, the thing that's on my mind the most this weekend is the end of my first true fictional story, "Chronicles of an Academic Predator," which I've posted at my yahoo group and on e-fiction. It was pretty fun, since I set the story in 1962 - 1963, a time of change and crisis. The historical research was t

Instinct...

So, you always read those stories... the ones that end in 'and that's how I knew I was gay'.   Forgive me for what I'm about to do... but it's 2 am and Rich is STILL at work, for the second time tonight, and I'm hanging out with Steve and his boys and feeling... giggly.   I remember being 12 and seeing this and just losing my mind. I'm pretty sure I would have had no idea what to do with one of these... but I knew I wanted it and so... this is my 'and that's how I knew I was straight' stor

On the heels of the last...

"On the heels" I say when the last entry was almost a month ago. What I mean by that is this entry will be a related successor to the last, so go read it and come back.   First off, I now have to wonder what is rougher on me, a really bad nightmare or a really good dream. The nightmares I can wake up from. The good dreams I wake up into a world that isn't the dream. That happened right after I posted the last entry, and it bummed me out for a couple days.   But anyways, my back brain has onc

An obsession no more (for now)

Well, in my last entry, I mentioned my new addiction to Star Kingdoms, but I decided I was done for the round. Hopefully, I can do better next round.   Thus, it is time to write again. Yes, I have neglected it for a while for whatever reason. Well, I cannot say too much about my winter anthology except that it is actually a bit of a spin-off of a story I have written in the past. It's going to delve into history a bit, but it's definitely befitting of the theme. Speaking of past stories, I al

Ramblings

Hey,   It's been a while since I last wrote anything in this. Mainly because I can never think of anything I want to say. I feel like I've lost touch with this site, that's all my fault I know, I guess I've just allowed myself to get distracted. I'll write this out and if I can be bothered I'll post it, if not meh well at least I'll have written SOMETHING for a change!   I guess I should update on a few things.   Chris is doing good. He's busy pretty much all the time but then so am I. We

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Laramie, WY

It's across the interstate from here, but who'd want to live my a truck stop anyway.   Night before last when I was waiting for my trailer to be unloaded in Pueblo (four and a half hours!), I saw a meteor (meterite?) fly overhead. At first I thought, "No, it's a skyrocket or some such firework," but they usually don't fly horizontally or go that fast. With Palin's Alaska problems, the LA train wreck, the AIG bailout, and every thing else in the news, there's been nary a word about other sighti

Been A While...

Yeah so I last posted in May, and it's now September. Usually I go a month without blogging, but it's been 4 now so I figured I'd give it a whirl. Don't know how long it'll be this time, but I know a lot has happened recently and some of you thought I fell off the face of the Earth...   So I just got off work. I quit my last job on Sunday because they were morons and would never give me hours because the month was slow there. No matter what anyone tells you, unless you're working at a higher-e

Thank you, Matt Damon!

It's not often that the people in Hollywood use their accelerated public status for good and not evil, nor do we frequently hear about their campaigns to help people instead of who they had an affair with this month, but I saw this today, and thank God, I'm not the only one thinking these things.     I'm not often super political and I'm very 'live and let live' but when it comes to the country we live in and the future we're creating for ourselves and our kids and their kids... but holy

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Fountain, CO

It's across the interstate. Fountain, Colorado, is famous for "The Blast," the result of a passenger train colliding with part of a freight train carrying 18 tons of explosive naptha. Today the event is celebrated with a street dance in July.   My blood test in Hays went off without any problems at all. Unlike those people in Kentucky, these guys knew a customer when they saw one and were more than willing to test my blood. Unfortunately, my INR came out 3.3. Not significantly higher, but stil

You're a sports car... with one gallon of gas...

Ok - so NOT as wildly optimistic as I was during my post... I am still feeling well, feeling mainly bored with tons of energy - until I actually try to do something. First major time it hit me was Sunday night when I tried to go grocery shopping on my own. I had to pause twice in the store, and as SOON as I got back to the car and had the groceries loaded, I just sat in the drivers seat to rest. Described it to a friend at work and he's the one that coined the phrase that I'm using for thi

It's all Ash's fault (My new SK addiction)

Well, I haven't been posting blogs much lately. I have a new addiction. It's called Star Kingdoms. Basically, you get to build a military and, along with your allies, destroy targets. We're in the midst of war. I love it! Ash (Demetz) is to blame, because he told me about SK, so now you all know why I'm not on GA as much.

Bunker Hill, KS

Let's get this out of the way first, my grandfather may have been born in Kansas and his parents may have been married in Kansas, but I still do not like Kansas, except for the service plaza on their turnpike. See, I can't hate them because hate is an all out, total rejection, but these guys have nice service plazas. Rest areas are another situation entirely as they range from "I not even peeing in there" to "this is rather nice for a public toilet."   According to Wiki, Bunker Hill has 1.4 sq

<HAPPY DANCE>

Oh F**K!!!   Waking up, back at HOME, with Dan at my side after a week... I can't begin to express how happy I am. I really am feeling so well. It is so ironic, having leukemia and going through one chemo treatment, I right now feel BETTER than I have most of this past year. I have energy (due to the transfusions and now having a much better red blood/hemoglobin counts), I'm REALLY well rested (from sitting/laying bored in bed at the hospital for a week), and I have Dan and my dogs back

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Conley, GA

Okay, so I didn't do an entry for day or so. I was busy and tired.   I also broke the frames for my regular glasses. So now I have to live in darkness, even when it's dark outside. My clinic is ordering new frames so they can put in the old lenses when I get home (hopefully next Friday). I'm typing this without my sunglasses and I can see my laptop. The letters are a little small and fuzzy, but you do what you have to do.   Yesterday I was supposed to have my weekly blood test, but I foolish
