    2024 Poetry Anthology - Seasons - Wrap Up

    By Valkyrie

    I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this year's GA Poetry Anthology a huge success!  We had 16 poetry submissions to read, all of which are linked to below.  If you haven't already, I highly recommend checking them out and leaving our site poets a comment, reaction, review, recommendation, or all of the above!  I'm thrilled with the support for this year's poetry anthology, and I'm already working on next year's anthology.   So thank you, site poets for your incredi

It's a bad sign, but of what?

I'm not entirely sure which is the worse thing, the fact that iTunes has an unnatural fondness for the KMFDM in my music library, or that I find it fits my mood. One or the other's probably worrisome.   At least it's interspersing Evanescence occasionally, just for a change of pace.

Coolness and Delight

Birthdays are very peculiar things. When you're a small they're wonderful. You get STUFF, often a party, and mostly people are nice to you... You can get away with an awful lot of mischief too!   Then you get to a point where the Birthday becomes... a weency bit of a drag. You celebrate because you feel you should rather than wanting too, and you often find you're celebrating to make other people happy; and honestly, that's just perverse.   That's where I was: 'Jaded' would encapsulate the f

The natives are restless

As Kitty mentioned to me in an e-mail (along with the final edit of Ch. 7), "the natives are getting restless." So I'll be posting Ch. 7 on Wednesday evening (which would be Thursday morning for me, Taiwan time ... hehe) It's the longest chapter so far, and I hope everyone enjoys it. It'll be up on my own web site first, and then probably a day or so later on my GA shared member hosting page.   I'm also working on a (long) short story right now. I'm about halfway finished (I think). I'm alread

sexy details...

So, last weekend while I was sitting outside the grocery store for SIX hours selling cookies... I picked up a magazine to read... They had this article in it that allowed three couples of different levels of commitment and length of time answer this questionaire... I thought it would be fun so I made Rich do it with me He's answering his portion right now and keeps telling me not to peek, giggle! I think the man needs a voting booth and a curtain the way he is hiding his answers   Anyway, I

Why?

Chaz and I drove back to his home town today. He wanted me to meet his friends. Yes this includes his ex girlfriend. I only agreed with the condition that I could see his grandparents. I love his grandparents and I really wanted to see them, plus we have a card rematch to take care off.   Chaz said that he would take me if they were around as they go on trips every other month and this one was the other month. I agreed and we were off. His grandparents weren't home they're in Chicago right now

Inspiration comes from the strangest places

Yesterday was, on the whole, a crap day. Which was kind of strange, because it was also weirdly productive.   The crap part was entirely personal, as we took my dog to the vets and had her euthanized last night. This wasn't something that was unexpected -- she was 16 and had a slowly progressing neurodegenerative problem that was destroying the myelin sheathing around her nerves, and over the weekend we hit the point where she had no control in her hind end and only spotty bladder and bowel co

The B Season

The local Birthday season starts in just under five minutes. All my friends appear to be either Pisces or Aries... Is this odd? I must start reading horoscopes. Possibly. Anyway Tomorrow/Today it's me. According to my stats here I shall be 100. That's old! Gosh.   Camy (the old)

Original Post from some nut job

They called me an idiot. They said I was crazy. They filed a restraining order prohibiting me from coming within 500 feet of them. But now my right-wing grandparents are eating some serious geriatric crow, for recently obtained videos prove once and for all that Bush not only knew about the existence of Hurricane Katrina days in advance, but personally steered the storm into New Orleans to kill as many poor, inner-city Blacks as possible.   Up until now, the Shrub has maintained a false fa

I Must Have Been Really Loud Before

So today at work a friend/coworker came up to me and said, "you seem quiet today, everything okay?". The odd thing is this seems to be par for the course the last month or so. It seems like lately every time I turn around someone's saying how quiet I'm being and making sure I'm not upset about something. And I'm really not upset, mad, unhappy, sick, or worried. Heck I don't even think I was being that quiet today. I was completely responsive and friendly to everyone. I may not have been fo

He thinks he's sweet...

I woke up this morning to find my boyfriend sitting next to me Indian style watching me. After I jumped across the room from fear I sat down next to him. I exhaled and I asked him why he did what he did? First he pulls out a check made out to what I had spent. I tore it up and handed it back to him. He frowned and then he pulled out a couple Styrofoam cartons filled with breakfast food. He also pulled out a rose. I had to give it to him because he was trying to get to me but I am not forgetting.

Finally finished!

WOO-HOO! I finally finished the rough draft of my Ph.D. research proposal, and have sent it on to my thesis editor. Now everything (including the last few chapters of my thesis) are in her hands, so now I just have to sit back and wait for her to send me the corrections. I still have to start doing some reading to prepare for the written exam, but that only counts for about 30% of the score for the entrance exam. The other 70% or so is based on your oral exam (discussing your M.A. thesis, resear

Uselessness of it all...

:nuke: Chaz and I are not talking right now. We had an argument last night. I had planned this whole romantic day including a limo, a fancy restaurant and a B&B. He never showed up. He never called me and I found him yesterday morning sleeping on my doorstep. He had forgotten his keys and he still didn't think he did anything wrong.   I asked him where he was and he told that he went out with some old friends. Which is totally fine with me except when he knows that I had planned something

If it ain't Baroque...

You didn't really think I was actually going to make such a horrible pun, did you?   I'm really blogging way too much lately. Maybe I'm becoming something of an egotist. Anyway, last night I went to this party, and I think there were probably a good 40 people crammed into this apartment, and most of them I'd never seen before in my life. Most of them the girl that I knew who lived there had never seen before in her life. A lot of them were these frat guy types, who I have to say are not my fav

My Anthology Entry

Ok, so I did it...I finished my anthology entry and now it's off to Kitty...I hope it's good enough to get published     I worked super hard on it, and i wanted to try something original. The theme was a day of silence, as most of you know, and i thought it was kinda generic, so I decided to go at it from a different angle. I'm hoping people like it. Also, I can't wait to post it in the short stories section of my new and improved Nick's Story Page   So anyway, besides that, I'm super tic

Sunday

OCD. Hmm. Both Kevin and Patricky think they have it, and I just wrote a reply on Patricky's blog saying it was all twaddle. Then it crossed my mind that I have it too!   Whenever I go to the beach I have to find a stone with a hole in it. I mean it's not a total compulsion, but I do get annoyed if I have to leave without finding one. Luckily there are lots of stones with holes in them, otherwise I'd probably need a straight jacket.   This 'stone with hole' thing started a year or so ago. N

Rocky Mountain Oysters

I was trying to think of another name for this blog: I ponder a lot, and really 'A bunch of Balls' wasn't doing it for me. So I googled, as you do, and damn me if the truth is worse than any of my putrid mental fictions.   Those who live in the good old US probably know already that Rocky Mountain Oysters are Bulls Bollocks cooked and apparently eaten with a side helping of Chips. I was, and still am frankly amazed, and feeling rather squeamish.   Yelch. Real Oysters are bad enough.   Cam

My newest project

Warning:::: No rant ahead this time   Alright, so I've been working to make my stories better through my editor, Talonrider, the greatest editor of all time IMO. While he's been working his butt off on my story, he's also been working hard to get me hosted on some really awesome sites, including CRVboy and his site, The Talon House. There's no way I could ever pay him back for all of his hard work and his patience with my bad spelling and grammer. While he's been doing all of that for me, I'

green po-tat-oes

Happy St. Patricks Day!   I forgot to wear green (actually, I didnt feel like wearing green) today and I got pinched more than once, but in no good places. I had KFC, and I freaked out because my mashed potatoes were green and I thought something was wrong with them (mine were the only ones at the table that were green) and the girl there had to explain to me that it was because mine were the new batch so the guys I work with got old potatoes, but that

I hate people

The idiot kids who live across the hall from me are having some loud, drunken party. I was okay with this, for now, cause I stay up pretty late anyway. Then I heard sort of a scratching sound coming from my door, and went and looked out the peephole. There were like 8 people standing right outside my door and one of them was stealing one of the numbers off the door! (they're stickers) Then he yells really loudly (for me? just cause he was drunk and being loud?) "I've got the 0 in my wallet!" and

Art, science, and craft

Or "On the nature of writing". Or something like that.   I figured it was time to stop just bitching about the things in my writing I'm not happy about and actually start doing something about it. It's too late in the semester to sign up for a writing class at the local community college, but it's never too late to read about writing, so I've started.   A while back I picked up a copy of "Characters and Viewpoint" by Orson Scott Card (on the recommendation of The Pecman, who wrote the storie
