    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

Another week, another blog

So, I had my annual performance review and salary review at work. I got "Above Average" on my rating, which I think I definitely deserve, since I work my butt off for them, and the salary isn't as competitive as other companies in the translation & localization industry. They did give me an 8% pay raise, and I should be getting between $1,500 - $2,500 for a bonus at Christmas time, which will help. They also want to move me into middle management within the next 6 months to a year, which wil

For Billy... <3

Since you asked so nicely   So there has been much penis talk lately... (in regards to the final chapter of FBTE) Thank you to all who contributed, since we all know I lack such parts... though I am rather fluent in... oh nevermind   So I'm not sure how you guys are going to feel about 'The End' but it feels like it's time. There has been much debate about 'how' to end a story, or what is the best or most fulfilling way for the reader. Even Rich, who never reads , I know... trust me, has

Frazier Park, CA

I drove for three and a half hours yesterday.   I deliver today at noon.   It's cold here this morning.   Do I sound BORED?   I hope this isn't how things are going to be with this company.   I mean, I should welcome all the free time, but dilly-dallying down the road is a bit tiring.   Well, I wasn't going to go to the customer loc last night and park overnight on a street in Metro LA. Mostly, because I don't have a sign that says, "Rob me, I don't have a gun!" Not that I'm saying M

"Just let me hold you while you're falling apart"

So this is a rather long, probably pointless-for-anyone-else-to-read-but-I'm-glad-I-wrote-it entry about my feelings regarding the balance of support, neediness, and power in my ideal relationship. On a side note I'm beginning to get very irritated with the casual, sloppy, informal way I've been writing blogs and posts lately. Still...WHATEVER!   ************************************************     So I was driving to work today when "Ever the Same" by Rob Thomas came on the radio. I'd

Tis The Job

Hey All   So I thought I would stop by and update you all on a little that's been going on. So last week Monday, I started my new job, got everything packed and unpacked in a matter of hours, which is a very good thing. So let me just start off by saying I love my new place. I mean I feel so free, so alive, and for once so happy!!! I got a place all to myself and I don't have to share with anyone!   So now moving on to the job, I must say it isn't what I thought it would be

A new blog-ining

It's funny, I never thought I'd be blogging here ever again, but once again GA has become a fun place to be. Don't get me wrong, it's always been fun hanging & commiserating with my fellow Dom fans, but last year there was so much drama that I used to dread logging onto GA. That 'okay, what's going to give me a headache or pain in the behind this time?' feeling.   But things seemed to have changed for the better . Now I know how the elves or munchins in the Wizard of Oz felt when Dorothy'

So Exhausting Frenzied Manic

My coworkers have learned it is best that I am steered away from real coffee. They at first, as most people do, thought my habit of drinking decaf to be a bit silly at best and counter-productive at worst. There was a time when I would have agreed with them. Of course, that was before the worst parts of puberty had really set in for me, and my body chemistry worked quite a bit differently. At that point, coffee relaxed me.   Now if I so much as smell caffeine I get wired like a five-year-old t

No one really believes those blog quiz things

You Are The Emperor     You are an authority figure, and other people look to you for what to do. You are strong and powerful. Crossing you is not a good idea. You have worked hard to get to your position, and you're not about to give it up to anyone. Though you have a warrior heart, you are gentle to those who treat you well.   Your fortune:   In the near future, you need to be willing and able to defend those you love. This may be the time for you to step up and be the authority f

Santa Nella, CA

Last night I was in Weed and tonight I'm at the T/A in Santa Nella to get a shower. I'm beginning to offend thyself and when that happens you know you stink!   Needless to say, I AM BORED!   I drove for six hours today. That's all.   If I was at my old company, I'd be delivering early tomorrow morning, not Monday at Noon.   The good thing about not being rushed is I have time to think about the two story endings I have to come up with. Today as I drove I worked on Tim and the Corsair.

Strange Magic

I really don't know where to begin on this entry. I have something I want to say, but I really don't have any idea HOW to say what's on my mind. Ironically, that's kinda what this entry's about. Expressing myself.   I got a really nice PM this morning from someone who read my tagline and got worried. Not the one that says, Check out my new story, If by Chance!! No, the one that said, How Will I Die?   I guess that the first line in my signature also worried him. No, not the one that says Dr.

You're not living, until you're living with me

la la la la la la... okay, I admit, I'm completely addicted to that song. Whatever, it's catchy.   So I cut my hair. It's like an inch and a half long now. I was getting tired of the medium-longish length, so I it's gone now. I think I like it. It should be easier to maintain, so that's good. If I figure out how to add a picture at the bottom, I'll try that.   In other news, I have this friend who I was on not so good terms with for the last couple of months. She apologized, and sh

On the road, again

Tonight I'm in Portland, OR, because I don't need to be in the LA area until noon Monday. My trailer is somewhere here in the yard.   I'm going to leave tomorrow morning, early, early, like around 4 or 5 because I don't want to have to deal with commuters flocking into Portland and wherever else to go to work. I'm lucky, I take work with me.   Already I like being back on the road. I get a very strong sense of calm and I know why. It's because I'm away from home. I miss Bonita, but it's the

Blah

I came home sick today My stepmom tried to keep me home from school to begin with but I didn't listen, and now I wish I had. Anyway, I keep thinking I'm gonna puke but when I try, nothing comes out but this nasty yellow crap that burns my throat. So what's the moral of all of this?? I think it's Stay Away From 7-11 Big Bites. I ate two last night because my dad and stepmom went somewhere and James and I had to fend for ourselves. He wound up going to 7-11 because he wanted nachos and I aske

I got an A

You Scored an A     You got 10/10 questions correct.   It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.

Back to the Beginning

Well, I've had it.   I tried being a hostler. Honest, I tried, but 58 year old bodies cannot pretend they're only 35, which is bad.   I tried delivering groceries, but that was just as physical, plus the joys of pulling doubles through a city, which is bad.   So, starting Thursday I'm back to long haul; or, as they call it in my new company, line haul, which is good.   Up and down the I-5 corridor, which is kinda good.   Supposedly, I'll be home every week, which is good.

And people think I'm nice

It continually surprises me when people, when they first meet me, take my generally sunny disposition and smiling manner as an indication that I'm also nice. This is not true. I may have been nice at one point, and I act nice when I don't have anything better to do, but I'm not terribly good at it. But people ignore the odd moments by and large, until something happens that they can't ignore.   Case in point: a few weeks ago, I went into a coffee shop. I'd just done my grocery shopping, and si

Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village

Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village   Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday. Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia.   Residents c

Tomorrow will be better

So first off, wow that Killers concert rocked! I had such an awesome time! A band called "Romance Fantasy" opened for them, then the group called "Louis XIV" played. Now actually I had heard of "Louis XIV" before, but I don't think I was familiar with their work. They were pretty good though! The Killers were awesome! They played all their popular songs (obviously), and it was really fun because everyone sang along and stuff!   There was also this adorable gay couple sitting in the row i

Holy Buddha, Shia LaBeouf is H-O-T!

As I've mentioned before, I think Shia LaBeouf (the cutie from "Transformers" and "Disturbia") is TOTALLY HOT!!!   TMZ posted an AMAZING picture of him today, so if you wanna see it, click on the link below:   http://www.tmz.com/2007/09/17/labeouf-in-labuff/   How that can be the same kid from "Even Stevens," I'll never figure out ... *fans self*

Back in the groove of things

Wow, what a last couple of weeks. (stops and catches breath) I guess I just wasn't as ready for school as I thought I was, and it was pretty hard to get caught up. Last Sunday I was still pouring over my hw at 11 in the morning. This Sunday I'm happy to report that I finished my hw yesterday at about 5:30 in the afternoon. That's the good news. Unfortunately, I have some really bad news too (in my opinion, at least). Taylor's talking about dropping out of school. I'm doing everything I can to

Mr. Brightside

SO, I just got a call from a friend. He's got an extra ticket to The Killers concert tonight! SO, I'm going! YAY! I'm so excited, it's been forever since I've been to a concert, and I love The Killers!   Now all I have to do is rearrange my schedule a bit, and figure out a way to look concert worthy within the next three hours!
