    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

My truck, my pathetic excuse for a truck, the worthless conglomeration of metal, rubber, plastic, and software that is my truck is sitting right now in front of the company shops at our West Valley City, Utah, headquarters. I don

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad...is this enough proof?

Warning...Garphic Image Below:   I think it's ridiculous that the President of Iran has the nerve to say that the holocaust never happened, and I think the fact that the so called conference he's holding on it has been attended by the likes of David Duke, the Republican scumbag that used to run around with that Democratic scumbag Robert Byrd in the KKK says a lot about the legitimacy of his claims. Well, being who I am, I have to say something. The fact that the President of the US, Kofi Ann

this one's for my Sweetie!

Well, I mean he DOES deserve his very own blog entry right?   Okay so I know I already said this part... but Happy Birthday! Since I have 5 minutes left to celebrate it here... I guess the bonus is that we get to celebrate your birthday for 32 hours instead of 24... giggle! Anyway, you need the extra hours each year if you're gonna catch up to me right? You wouldn't let me turn 30 all by myself... would you?   So, I could go on forever... and ever... and ever... and... well you get the po

It's the little things that get you

Y'know, there's something about kids that mean you get introduced to all sorts of things that you never would've been introduced to before.   Like, for example, Rainbow Hello Kitty thong underwear. No, I don't joke. I don't think I could make that up if I tried.   I'm thankful it was just in adult sizes, for women.   I think.

Chronicles of My Life

Red

Well I finally got my hair done. I went from a long-haired blonde to a short-haired redhead. Cut off a good 4 or 5 inches in some places. Fun change. Dramatic.   Speaking of dramatic...I don't really know what my problem is (although I'll probably keep looking for it until I've successfully analyzied it three times and managed to once again pass it by to analyze something else ). I've been a little...moody. I think it's frickin winter. I hate how early it gets dark. ...I like the clot

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

It might have made sense if this was first

That's the problem with new toys, you're never certain how they work until you push one of the buttons.   I intended to have this entry as my first, but I pushed the silly button and "Forlorn" jumped out of the gate and was halfway down the track before I noticed my mistake.   This is my fourth attempt at establishing a literary blog. Previous attempts were on blogspot and my original blog that still resides on LiveJournal. If you're interested in a more personal view of my life check out v.

tis the season...for cold and grumpy

It's 20 degrees right now, and I have the heat on but I'm still freezing because the top of the window in my bedroom is open about an inch. I close it, it slides right back down. And it was extremely windy last night, so thanks to the open window my door was slamming in its frame all night long. I haven't gotten a decent night's sleep in days. I haven't been able to fall asleep at night, and then there's this building being constructed practically right outside my window, and they start with the

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, 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
