    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

Happy Earth Day/Birthday(s) and thank you

Well, so a very Happy Birthday to Vance today!   And another just as Happy Birthday to Toby... where he lives it's already his birthday, even if it's not quite yet here...   *** Warning - Semi-computer challenged individual speaking beyond this point***   So, last night I installed some new Windows Live software thingy that allowed me to import all my MSN contacts to my email list along with combining all my email accounts into the one Outlook Express thing I use and it seems pretty cool

Chronicles of My Life

"Oh wait, I do"

So I was hanging out with Scott, Luke, and John last night and eventually John went home and Luke went to bed and Scott and I kept talking for awhile longer. Eventually, I decided to go home...and then realized I couldn't find my keys. I have a chronic problem keeping track of my things, particularly my keys, so it was nothing new, but certainly frustrating. On the bright side John has developed this amazing gift for finding things for me! Prior to last night the last several times I've lost

Finances; Writing

So yesterday I got a nasty note from the university wanting me to pay $975 I didn't think I'd have to pay for another couple months... but even so, I should be able to pay that off and be almost completely out of credit card debt by the end of the month. It just means I won't have the cash on hand I thought I'd have to pay down my computer loan. By the end of next month I'll have the cards paid off completely and a hefty amount of cash in hand to buy a car the first week of June... when I'll fin

I'm tired

Today I finished up a rather big project that I've been working on.   In the front of the house are two Azalea beds that have been there since the sixties. The Bushes are large but scraggly and unhealthy because the soil under them is worn out.   My job: dig up the bushes, replant them. Dig up the old beds and clean out the roots. Remove some of the dirt. Test the soil and figure out what it needs. Add: sand, top soil, peat moss, humas, etc. Till it up. Put the plastic border down. Smooth

I hate banks

Okay, so I go to get a brand new car.... new for me anyway; Its a Red 2002 Chrysler Sebring 4 door sedan with only 29,000 miles on it... leather interior, brand new tires... suffice it to say, this car is awesome.   Thing is, it would cost me about 10,000 between cost of the car itself, taxes, tags and other nonsense. Well, thats what my credit union is there for, right? WRONG. At first they tell me they can only do 9,000 so we work it out with the dealer so that i can have 45 days to come up

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

A step in the right direction

A week ago I sent in my resume to the company I retired from back in '04, at the height of my insanity. They're looking for residential credit consultants and I figured I could get hired since I've done that job. It's not a fun job. It's not a job that has a lot of good feelings about it. The last time I did it, I quit after five months because it was such a crappy job, but there were "political" reasons, too.   Basically, you call, or receive calls from, customers who haven't paid their phone

A Risky Move

I just finished my cultural diversity final project. The subject was "Race and Your Community". I did talk about racial issues in this town and rural communities in general, but how can I talk about minorities and fail to mention my own minority group? Here is the text in my final project. Here is a sample:

It's a sunny day!

The weather forecast is for mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing up into the lower to mid 70s. A good day to mow the lawn. It needs it because it's been 3 weeks since the first time this spring. I was also seriously considering doing some major pruning on a few camelias that have pretty much finished blooming.   There's nothing like a day out in the sun working in the yard, using the power mower (Is it only me or do you too see the conundrum in those two similarly spelled, but dissimi

The Fall of Ast@r0th

Tired

I'm just tired of everything at this point.   Friends, Family, school. How come nobody ever tells you that sometimes rage can feel good?   I'm ready to go. I've been thinking of moving away from everyone i know and then remember I have no money.   so instead I lock myself away and visit that place in my mind(o_O)   no I just imagine sweet freedom and a noticeable lack of people i know so thoroughly.     I just need to distance myself for while.   I'll come back to this later. a

*hysterical laughter*

I'm staring at my screen. I can feel the words, hear them faintly whispering at me, teasing me, but...THEY BLOODY WELL WON'T COME OUT!! It's starting to drive me up a damn wall. I need to work on Chapter 3 of 'A Butterfly's Dream' and I know that it's there, the words just won't come to me. *headdesk* Alright, since my muse has decided to obviously take a back seat to my need to edit, I'm going to edit this new story that I'm working on and then read a Vo story. She has a new Buffy the Vampire

I love my grandma

I know this sounds really random, but I love my grandma. She's pretty much someone I can talk to about anything, although there are some things I won't talk to her about....   We had to brave traffic this afternoon from the South Side to the peninsula, which meant waiting in a 7 mile backup at the tunnel. I have a certain set of CD's I play when she's riding in my car, and to be honest, I kinda like listening to them. Groups like the Bee Gees and Culture Club aren't that bad, and as long as I

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Yikes! It has been awhile, hasn't it?   For those of you that don't know this by now, I get up about an hour early every morning to take care of emails and other Site related stuff. I generally eat breakfast while doing this.   Then it is all day at work.   When I get home, I boot back up the computer and spend an hour or two taking care of email and posts on the site.   This is every weekday.   Weekends are much the same, except I don't have to go to work.   Lately,

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

It finally came to me

Yesterday morning as I was preparing my breakfast the full realization of my change in status finally hit me.   I am mentally ill. :wacko:   We talk about them. We see advertisements on television about how we should care about them, stop discriminating against them, and come to embrace their unique needs.   I am them.   When I used to work in downtown Seattle

I'm alive!

Or at least in some semblence of life. I'm in pain and I'm sleepy still. Left over migraine pain...really. It sucks and I can't wait until I'm once more better. It's the summer heat thats doing me in. Beyond that, I'm working on my stories, all of them. Including the fanfiction stories. Yes, I write fanfiction. Slash actually. It's all good. I'm conteplating starting to post my fanfiction stories here but I don't know yet. I'll think about it.

Stuck in a valley, with no peaks in sight.

Life happens, when you're not looking. Allot of people, i think, fail to realize that. There is an expectation that one day we will wake up and Life is going to start. We'll have the career, the love, vacations in Spain etc. The only trouble is, in this yearning, this waiting for something big to happen; we overlook life. The fragments in time that shape our existence.   Sometimes I have a nagging feeling that time is running away. I don't know what it is, or where it comes from, yet I still

Chronicles of My Life

The severs have been tied

So William isn't moving to Kentucky after all. Predictably, his relationship didn't work out. Honestly I'm just so relieved it ended before he moved. Of course this aborted relocation doesn't change the fact that he and Scott have to move. The house they were renting is being sold. Originally the landlord was giving them till the beginning of the summer, but after all the stuff with William likely moving to Kentucky, and Scott and Luke deciding to move in together everything was pushed up a

helluva weekend....

Friday counts as part of the weekend, right? It does? Good... cause then I can include how I am now the mother of a fertile, almost-teenage girl... nuff said.   Then, Saturday I had a day that I think I'd like to never repeat again if possible, and it was pretty weird for a lot of reasons. First, a guy I know and love, who's pretty young, asked me when the right time was to tell someone you love them. Then I took my kids to buy some books and a birthday present formy daughter's friend, and the

The FCC can KMA

I decided to post my opinions here, because I'm not sure if my level of outrage is allowed in the forum. Yes, I mean it. The Federal Communications Commission can kiss my ass. They are a bunch of fascist pigs who should not even exist. Everyone remembers a few years ago when Janet Jackson showed her boob on tv and the unnecessary outrage it caused. I'm more outraged by the outrage personally. In Europe, the outrage would be over the fact that she didn't do so 10-20 years earlier when her breasts

How far we've come

I saw him for the last time last night. I didn't get off work until 11:20, but I still headed over. My friends all said I didn't have an obligation to go, but I said I had to. I rushed from my classes earlier in the day to go buy his birthday presents, and I also made this picture frame of him and me with little inside jokes on it. I drove all the way over there with my friend, and I am so glad she came with me. When I got there, I felt so uncomfortable. I didn't know anyone else, he did a
