    Secret Author Contest-Forbidden Is... Revealed? Nooooo.

    By Cia

    Ha! Did you think it was time to share the stories and authors? No!! Total clickbait. Heehee! That's right, time to vote on your favorite! Now, to be fair, it would be ideal to have read ALL the stories. Can you vote without having read them? YES! Because this is about your favorite use of our theme of Forbidden Knowledge that you read in this year's Secret Author Forbidden Knowledge stories. Pick a SINGLE title, this isn't your top three. It doesn't even have to be your favorite overall st

Round 2

A few people know my Aunt is just recovering from a battle with breast cancer that cost her, her left breast. She is the reason the pink racing Strip appeard on my home page. Her Cancer was agressive, and the "suspect" she had found doubled in size in the month it took her to get the mammography appointment. Subsequently it had spread into the lymph nodes on the left side of her body as well.   Those were removed at the same time her left breast was removed. From there she faced chemo therapy

Here's what Obama has to do

So it's pretty obvious that Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee. Unless there's some underhanded deal in a back alley abortion clinic somewhere that gives Hillary the nomination, that is. So, now it's Obama vs. McCain, and the attacks will no doubt start flying his way from the repukes. So what's an extreme leftist piece of crap like Obama to do?   Give the Iraqi's a real date to have control over the violence in their own country Offer incentives to American companies to research a

Some People

Everyone now and then, we read or hear about a reason why more people should practice birth control. This Houston Chronicle story is about such an example. I read the story just a few minutes before starting this entry, but I thought I would share it. I am not sure that sharing this story in the forums would be a good idea. Anyway, what these guys did was not only creepy, it was a reprehensible way to treat another human being who is no longer among the living. What is wrong with people these da

Motel

I'm in the Econo Lodge in Salt Lake City hoping I'll get my new truck today. There's a chance I might have to take a Kenworth W900 which presents itself a whole lot better than a Volvo 670, but it's a bear to back into tight docks. At this point in time I can't be too picky though. You don't have to take a W900, but it might mean sitting for another day until a Volvo comes out of the detail shop.   No, I haven't written anything. I meant to, I tried to, but not a lot came out.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

If you haven't read the book, do it soon. I'm rereading it, and I'm quite fond of this book. Definitely on my top ten list, anyway. So, this is a poem from the book that I thought worth sharing. It's a really important part of the book and you'll understand more if you read the book, but it's awesome even by itself. I hope you enjoy it, anyway.   Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines   he wrote a poem   And he called it "Chops"   because that was the name of his dog

Perspective...

So, the following is something that is intimately personal. Tony, my baby brother who isn't such a baby anymore at 21, wrote this for a writing class in college and I asked him if I could post it here because it was so special and means a lot to me.   It's interesting reading his version of what happened when I was there living it too, and how much his memories are only a tiny sliver of everything that was actually happening. I'm glad I could protect him from remembering those things, cause t

If I hadn't left...

I had the most amazing weekend!   I got back into Baton Rouge Friday afternoon and visited with my friend Mandi until Saturday afternoon. We relieved all the things we used to do and pretty much spent the whole time talking non-stop. We're both very chatty people, especially her, so it was a ball. I got really nostalgic seeing all the old places and how they've changed and how they haven't.   Over dinner Friday night we went to our favourite restaurant, where we used to go about once a

My sentiments

I deleted the entry from last night, because I thought I was actually too harsh. Here's the bottom line. What I said about them is strictly my opinion. As for the accusation that I know nothing about it, I talk to some people who have been at GA for a long time, and I have no reason to doubt what they have to say. Based on the information I have, I formed an opinion. As far as I know, it's the most well-informed one. I also trust people more when they have a certain level of loyalty here. Obviou

Well, I finally pounded out a new chapter of If By Chance. Hopefully, if I get it back soon enough, I can send it in and have it posted by this weekend. I really apologize to my readers for the delay, but I

Across the field, through the tunnel, and over the fence.

So a couple of days ago the craziest thing happened! I was minding my own business at work and it was time to go to lunch. So I walked out, and realized that I'd gone out the wrong door and that my truck was on the other side of campus (I'm a sub. teacher for those who don't know). SO, I thought, "it's a nice day, no point in turning around, I'll just cut across this field." So I cut across this GIANT field only to find that there was in fact no easy way to get back to my truck and that I ha

Changes are afoot

I haven't written anything in a week.   No big deal, so far.   But, I have been busy. Maybe too busy.   We (my, the wife, Bonita, and our son) are leaving Friday morning for Salt Lake City. I got the call this morning that I'm on for orientation at the trucking company I worked for first. I'll be there until Wednesday afternoon when I get a truck. Then it's boogie, boogie, boogie on down the road.   It'll take a while to get up to speed, but I think I'll be smokin' on all cylinders by th

Things To Know When Going To Hawaii!

You Know You're From Hawaii When...   You can understand and speak PIDGIN english.   You go to dinner and "make one plate" with all the extra food leftover.   You automatically take off your shoes in people's homes.   You wear rubber slippers to the beach.   You eat rice every single day.   It's "shave ice" not"snow cones".   When you know NEVER to turn your back facing the ocean.   You know what ukus are and have had them at least once before when you was one little keiki.   Y

Chill out! I want to stand out in a crowd!

I'm sure we all know people who get offended at the drop of a hat, right? Well, this is one of my pet peeves. I mean what the hell is wrong with people? So somebody teased you with a joke. Who cares? Just let it go already. There are plenty of things in this world to be mad about like the seeming lack of wonderful presidential candidates this year. I know which one I want to vote for, but I'm still not overly thrilled with him.   Now everyone seems to be copying Viv's latest blog and taking t

I stole it too! (another survey thingy)

Could you forgive your best friend for sleeping with your partner? I would definitely want, and expect, to forgive them at some point, but in all likelihood both relationships would be over. How old will you be on your next birthday? I hate this question   I shall be 24; now leave me alone about my age!   Have you ever seen a live bat? Yuppers, there's a 'bat colony' in Houston, and I'd seen them before then. They're cute little things!   Is there anything/anyone you hate? ...I hat

If you really oppose the war in Iraq

I've found that over the last couple of years, my view on the war in Iraq has evolved. Most of it has to do with my growing knowledge about the constitution, the most important and the most at risk document in our nation. I understand that times have changed since the framers signed their names to the constitution, but I truly believe that if we did as the they had intended instead of what the politicians in Washington, we'd be in a much stronger position as a nation. Before I go any further, l

Silliness I stole from Lisa <3

Could you forgive your best friend for sleeping with your partner? I don't think Rich swings that way...   How old will you be on your next birthday? 29 plus 2... check out my math skills baby!   Have you ever seen a live bat? I'm sure I have in some zoo or another.   Is there anything/anyone you hate? It's hard for me to hate anyone, but lemme tell ya, there are plenty of things I hate.   Are you single? Nope   Do you like the color orange? On an orange, sure, and on my son... h

bad words

Often lately I have been asking myself, 'What drives people to make the decisions they do?'   There are things I just don't understand, and in many ways i really don't want to understand. Why does one person find it necessary to talk badly about another? Why would they misrepresent facts, even if they did so mistakingly? I don't understand these concepts. Granted I'm no angel, I'll be the first to freely admit that. However, I subscribe to that whole blasie 'live and let live' mumbo jumbo. You

Need help picking out a pickup truck

I think I'm going to butch it up a little and buy a pickup truck as a 2nd vehicle.   I've had one too many trips to Home Depot where I got dirt in my car. Or most recently, I had to have friends drive me in their truck(s) to drop off & pickup my lawnmower from a repair store.   I don't need one of those monster Ford F150s, Nissan Titans, Toyota Tundra, Chevy Silverado things. I'd probably have to turn in my gay card if I got one of those .   I'm thinking more mid-range, extended ca

Two Years Since Dad Died

It was exactly two years ago today when my adoptive father died. He had had a stroke in in his brainstem in July of 2004. He died on April 24, 2006, exactly two years ago. It does not seem that long ago either. In some ways, I still feel like I'm missing a father figure, but life goes on. There was actually a time when I would have sought an older man in a context of a loving relationship to fill the gap. It took me a while to realize it, but that would not have been a good idea.

Out

I finally got Chapter 1 of The Artists pushed out the door so all of you wonderful, beautiful, astute readers can enjoy the first installment of what I hope will be a long project. It certainly has the seeds for it: two young, impressionable, and in some ways intriguing boys; a house full of interesting and artistic people; interpersonal conflicts; a touch of psychological unbalance, just a touch, nothing certifiably crazy this time; straights, gays, and inbetweens; and four years of college ahe

PSY 110 Paper

So I have to write 10 pages worth of a paper for psychology. So far I have almost eight, and I'm splitting it into two papers (that's allowed so long as there's ten pages of text total). This one is a self-diagnosis, which I think is probably the last thing he wants to read, lol. I'm wondering if it's just too much to turn in... diagnosing myself with borderline personality disorder may be a bit weird of a read, but the paper is really vague, it's just supposed to be on how psychology applies

S.L. Lewis Many Thoughts and Updates

And my week has just gone to shit!

Mostly. I have tried hard to get ahold of Jason, but I've given up on doing so. I'm not going into details.   I am now a hosted author on Authors Keep and is quite happy. I have my own forum there and will be fixing my sig to show that. I'm quite happy about that considering I'm the first female on it. BK is there, which is good.   I am also apart of another forum, but due to some major reasons, I can't post the link here. I'm aslo participating in their anthology.
