    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

Damn, It's Cold!

I kind of forgot what cold weather was like since I spent the last 10 years in Taiwan and Florida. I'm thinking I should probably invest in some gloves and a scarf. I like the cold weather as long as I don't have to be out in it for very long. Fortunately, the heat in my apartment works well. I wish I could say the same for my office.   Last night was our holiday party at work. It was pretty fun. We had our "Secret Holiday Friend" gift exchange, and somehow no one got my name, so I was the o

Oops...

I haven't written an entry in a month. I've been too busy with everything lately that I haven't had the time to just sit down and write something. Not that it really matters though because nothing exciting is happening in my life. But, for those of you that are insanely bored and feel the need to read every blog post just because you have nothing better to do, then have fun   Let's start out with Adam... and Ryan. Most of you don't know about Ryan, so I'll just ignore him and move on to Adam.

Hi

Wowee it's been a long time since I've done a blog! Still don't have much to report so this will be another rambling of not much at all, hehe. We put our Christmas tree up last weekend. I bought a new one. I had reserved 100 dollars to go buy a nice one, I got there and the one I had picked out from a flyer was there, but there was only one left and it was already opened. I couldn't even get it out from where it was crammed between boxes to see if all the pieces were there. So I went and fo

I think this is the post-story snooze time

And I don't really like it. Soulmate's done and out, and the first draft of Dirty Basement's off for reading, and now, two stories down in a couple of weeks and... I find I can't write. Not that I don't have things to write (yeah, yeah, I know, poor Rob's been stuck in an airport lounge for months, I have a new novel that's been brewing for a while, Ben and Wiliam would really like their origin story told, and they're also facing zombies. And caught in the middle of a murder mystery) but it's ju

I'm ranked 4th

I just googled What's The Difference Between Me and You, and found out that my story is the forth result that pops up!!! ok, big deal, right Well, I think it's pretty neat that something I wrote and posted to the internet comes in just behind Dr. Dre's lyrics to the song with the same title....that means that somewhere, someone's googling the lyrics for that song and while they're looking at the results of their search, they're seeing a link to my story yay!! So anyway, I'm officially two ch

So, what the hell is wrong with you?

Okay, not you personally (not that there isn't something horribly wrong with you or anything) but your characters.   I've been thinking about that lately, as I've been doodling out the outlines for a new novel with new characters, and poking at existing characters in new stories. What's wrong with them?   It may seem like a strange thing to wonder about, but I was reminded by ABG (Author of the most excellent, though not done, Torch Song) that a character's flaws are at least as interesting

Sucking in the Seventies

Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest rock and roll band in the world, I give you the Rolling Stones!   Sucking in the Seventies Some Girls   It's May 1980. Me and all of my friends and a bunch of friendly strangers without many clothes have been partying since March. It is the graduation season: sangria in garbage drums, feasts of friend, alive we cried, stoned, immaculate, laid and luded, wasted and poluted...   I'm sitting on a bean-bag chair in my friend Scotty's houseboat hitting th

Family de genetics & Roomates by... ugh, they suck

A few things to go over... I'll start with the more depressing so I can leave off on a high note.   Well, I've been out to much of my family for several months now. The only one I can see ever actually accepting me is my dad. With my mother... any time the subject of Silven or the baby comes up I get an icy cold vibe from her. My guess as to why: she's attending a pentecostal church. There is no room in a good pentecostal family for a gay son, much less a gay son's boyfriend and his son - and

It's That Time

Ok, so it's officially December, and I'm super excited....in case you haven't looked at the content blocks to your right, I'm in the Christmas spirit. We're gonna go shopping tomorrow and I have my Christmas money already so it's just a matter of looking for the right thing to get each person on my list. Well, I sent in chapter 21 of Bodega Bay the other night but it hasn't been posted yet, but there's a very good reason for that. I'm more than happy to wait for the chapter to go up while Rob

Cat Parole

I decided to board my cat during my Thank giving trip to Texas at the vet but I waited too late. My usual vet was full. I had to shop around to find him a space. He doesn't travel well and gets horrible gas when he's anxious.   I was down to the wire and desperate. I begged my usual Vet for a referral list. Tuesday I went down the list. Animal Medical Center? No vacancy. Sullivan's Animal Hospital? No Vacancy. Cat Hospital? No vacancy.   OK it's closing in on 4:00 and I'm getting desperate

How Childish Can Things Get

Today, I got the strangest email from my boss, addressed to me and the Housekeeping and Laundry Supervisors. This email informed all six of us that we are not longer to sit with our staff at Break and Lunch times. When some of the staff found out about it, they all said that's ridicules. The time is spent socializing and not talking about work.   I may not be able to sit with them, but I'm certainly not going to run them off if they choose to sit with me at lunch and outside in the smoking ar

s-s-s-sooooooooooooo COLD!

Kay so, just for ambience or whatever... it's 12:07 am, and I'm sitting here waiting for Rich to get finished building this computer so we can go to bed. It is SO DAMN COLD in here it's beyond ridiculous... I looked... 56 degrees... holy shit right?! So yeah, the deal with that is, a while back, MANY months back, the gas comany was out here to light a pilot light for us, and the guy told Rich that if we keep the furnace pilot light out, it'll save us money and then they'll come back and light t

Devil Cats

My cats are absolutely incorrigible, and I'm about at my wits' end. Every morning when I wake up, and every evening when I get home from work, they have somehow managed to open all of the lower level cabinets in the kitchen and strewn everything (including cat food) all over the kitchen floor. I can't leave toilet paper or paper towels around anywhere, because they shred them and scatter the shreds all over my apartment. They also tip over the trash can and strew the contents (including kitty li

Let's face it, I'm in a slump

Yep, that's what it is, a torturous, agonizing, completely agrivating slump. Now don't get me wrong, I am still wofking on chapter 7 almost every night, The problem is, every time I go back and read what I have, I keep reaching out for the delete key. Nothing seems to sound right when I read it back to myself. I even had to get a second opinion on the fifth attempt at this chapter, just to keep from scrapping this draft.   Most likely, it's because of my grandmothers condition. She is hol

bugs

I hate bugs! Imagine you're innocently collecting quotes for an upcoming paper and out of your peripheral vision, you see something dark on the floor that wasn't there before. Then you look down and notice it's a huge ass spider, so big, it's gotta be a freaking mutation!   I'm wholly grossed out, but I grab a giant magazine and then slam it down on the mutated arachnid. I started using that method to kill bugs awhile ago, since magazines have a large surface area and provide a heavy impact,

My Marvelous Monday

I like alliteration; can you tell? So today totally rocked!   First off I was doing the evening/night shift at work so I got to sleep really late (2:00pmish). Secondly, I'm well!!! WOO HOO, I was sick for a little more than a week and it totally sucked! Plus I hadn't been sick in awhile so I guess that made it seem extra less than fun.   So anyway I went into work, and I was running late because it was rainy and traffic was bad. Which seems like that wouldn't be a good thing, but it to

the woes of being lazy

Laziness really does bite you in the ass. I'm the hugest procrastinator and I know firsthand how laziness can kill you. Like scrambling to finish something for a deadline. But come on, it was Thanksgiving weekend! No one does work! And who can think after inhaling so much damn food?   While I was at work, I was really looking through my planner and realized school is so close to being done. I don't even care about finals. I can cram for that. But I just want class to be over. I don't wanna tr
