the rules of the car...

... as told by a five year old.   Rule #1 - Kissing.   Rule #2 - No smoking.   Rule #3 - No eating.   Rule #4 - No drinking.   Rule #5 - If you run out of gas, then put gas in your gas tank.   Rule #6 - If your tire is out of air, fill it up with air.   Rule #7 - You turn on the radio and listen to music. If it's too loud, then turn it down and if it's too quiet, then turn it louder.   Rule #8 - You have to keep your seatbelt on until Mom or Dad turns the car off.   Rule #9 - I

Busted chapter 73

[Damn, this is slow going. Sorry...]   From the kitchen to the upstairs took Joe all of seven seconds. He heard the nasty laughter as soon as he'd rounded the corner and hit the stairs, and it led him right to the master bedroom.   He gave a strangled little cry as he stopped in the doorway. Chris was sprawled out on the floor next to the bed, his head against the nightstand. He looked dazed, his eyes a little unfocused. The lamp that stood on the nightstand was wobbling, throwing odd flashe

100 Blogs Later

Hi all,   I thought quite a bit about what I wanted to do for my 100th entry, since, though rationally it's only an artificial milestone and not any more significant than any other blog entry, it's still ostensibly special. Anyway, my thoughts ranged from creating a sort of "blog quiz" that would be taken from the previous 99 entries (decided that would be way too much work for me, and few people would feel inclined to sit there and take the thing anyway) to making it into a silly story (coul

Busted chapter 72

[Only one or two parts to go. Racing to the end now]   That sent a chill down Chris' spine and left a lump in his stomach. 'Hungry' was always bad with the violently insane. Not that he had a whole lot of experience with those. He was a detective in a small city police department. He had to deal with drugs and gangs and the occasional psychopath. As deep as he'd dived into the case, the state guys were right. He hadn't ever dealt with this stuff. Not that they had, but that was a problem for a

An Honor

I don't even know where to begin. I'm sitting here looking at the announcements, the new URL and the tag next to my name, and I still can't believe it's finally happened. I'm Hosted. When I first found GA, I remember bookmarking the page and thinking to myself that I'd be back. I didin't join the forum because I wasn't sure if I'd fit in or not, then I went away for like 4 months. When I came back, it was because of Dom Luka, the greatest net author of all time, in my opinion. I was reading The

I did not send you Hot Pictures of Brittany Spears!

Alright. Seriously. I had an AOL account a while back, and while I was going through the hell of getting rid of the service, I decided to keep the AOL mailbox, which they let you keep nowadays without having to pay 30 bucks a month...   anyway, I check it maybe once every few months, or when I remember, which can be even less frequently. I checked today, and it looks like someone has jacked my AOL address. Don

[Y'know, simultenaety isn't so much of a problem when you're writing first-person...]   Chris was swearing at himself the whole way home. He'd f**ked up, and he knew it. That meant it was time to break the news to Toby. He wasn't looking forward to that.   He parked his car and walked around the back of Steve's house. Steve's car wasn't in the driveway, which probably meant he hadn't gotten back yet. He felt a twinge of guilt for leaving Steve with the paperwork, but better Steve than him. H

Shoe Whore?

I was talking to Viv the other night and I came out, sorta.   For years I have been maligned by my sisters and labeled with the title of shoe whore. I may still be in denial honestly. I only have around Ten or so pairs of shoes. So yeah the average guy probably only has like four. Does that really qualify me as being a shoe whore? Couldn't I just be above average in that respect, or just happily over achieving? It's not like I have a room dedicated to foot ware, whats a couple of pairs of work

Busted chapter 69

It took Joe seven minutes to make the drive, and they were the longest seven minutes of his life. A half block away from Chris' house he threw his car in neutral, cut the engine, and coasted into Steve's driveway. It was probably pointless, but he didn't want any noise to give away his presence.   There was a car in Chris' driveway, a blue Jetta he didn't recognize. It had New Mexico plates, and seemed vaguely familiar.   Joe grabbed his keys and eased himself out of the car. He left the do

[This one's a bit more ragged than I'd like. The shouty bits don't hang together as well as I want 'em to. Damn this 'no sleep' thing anyway...]   Joe was trying to bring himself to eat dinner when his cell rang. He'd picked up Chinese on the way back to the hotel, but his stomach just wasn't up to it. The food sat, cloyingly sweet sauces congealing as it cooled. The suite was filled with the smell of overcooked pineapple and garlic.   The day had been pretty much a total loss

Unbearable

Well today I had enough.....my cousin James has crossed a line that I don't think he can uncross. I actually started this blog entry by saying that I wanted to have him jumped, but I'm not going there right now because I'm so angry with him that I'm afraid I'd go through with it. This moron has his own apartment, but for some reason, he keeps sleeping at home in his old room and I think he's doing it to make me crazy. He has something smart to say about everything I do, and if he doesn't get h

I can sleep now

*props eyes open with toothpicks* I'm going to say this and then I am going to bed.   I FINISHED AN ENTRY FOR THE SPRING ANTHOLOGY!   I had absolutely given up. I really struggled with the theme for various reasons, mostly emotional. Really didn't think I would manage to write ANYTHING. God knows, I had tried. I have about 20 documents in Word that are aborted attempts at that "Endings and Beginnings" topic.   So tonight I said goodnight to Rob, whom I was talking to on MSN, and went

Keys, Rings, and other Things.

I had a fun day off yesterday. I went to the gym with a friend then we had lunch and went shopping. Anyway after the shopping we were heading back to my truck when all of a sudden I realize I don't have my keys. So I turn to her and say "I don't have my keys". After freaking out with me a bit, she checks her pockets and exclaims, "I don't have mine either!".   SO after thinking a bit she decides she must have left hers at the gym, and I conclude that mine are locked in the truck. No wor

[Mmmm, remorse!]   Chris took his glasses off and rubbed his eyes. He'd spent the whole day Friday either on the phone or digging into police databases. He hadn't anything to show for it but a headache and some vague offers for people to call him back. It wasn't enough

April 5th

So my cousin called this evening while I was at work and left a voice mail. Turns out she's going to be in Houston on April 5th because her bestfriend's parents recently moved here and so she's riding with her to go and visit them. Anyway naturally she wants to meet up.   Now my cousin and I were really close as kids. We were sorta like brother and sister (but were both only children). Anyway we've seen less and less of each other as we've gotten older, and particularly in the last four
