I Had to have Another Hit

I was trembling. I'd carefully avoided it all day, but now the withdrawal was getting stronger. My nerves were shot. I couldn't stop pacing. Thinking back I realized that I couldn't pinpoint the exact time the addiction started. At first it was something I only did occasionally. Maybe as a way to celebrate, or after a stressful day. Then I gradually began to need a fix everyday. I'd promised myself those days were behind me now. I'd even told everyone that, that part my history was

I still have nightmares...lol

I woke up this morning in a panic from a nightmare, and I had to actually turn my light on to make sure I was in my room. It was the same nightmare I've had about 5 or 6 times now.... We're living in California again and Im locked out of our house for some reason, but the phone is ringing and Im desperate to get in because I know it's my real mom calling, but I can't open the door. When I finally get inside, the phone has stopped ringing and I've missed the call. So I go around the corner and f

The Shadow Boys One: A Conversation In Heaven

I found the place hidden at the end of that alley. Twelve Shadow Place, a small theater that went by the name Shadow Theater. The place had definitely seen better days. The gold paint on the door was chipping and the box office glass was cracked. The marquee read THE SHADOW BOYS EXCLUSIVE ONE NIGHT ENGAGEMENT My boyfriend had sent me a letter asking me to meet him here. I anxiously paced back and forth this place was giving me the creeps. There was no one here. In fact I had

Wedding Bells (part three-ish)

First things first, though not necessarily in that order, right? This is part of a piece I shouldn't be working on, since it's the fourth (or fifth? Sixth, maybe, with the side-stories, I'm not quite sure) sequel to a piece I should be working on. Personally I blame Dio, since he's sick and can't defend himself. (and has the summary of that piece, waiting for a second read-over -- the first time he read it he was altogether too kind and I ended up savaging the plot. It's much better now, but

Time to go

I dunno about anyone else who writes, but I find that ideas tend to hit me as scenes entire scenes or chapters. Not necessarily complete ones -- they're often incomplete, with bits and pieces missing -- but scenes or chapters. When that happens I open up a new doc in the word processor, bang out as much of the thing as I can before I lose it, and save the thing. If I have some clue as to what's going on I'll have a separate file with notes, character sketches, plot points, and suchlike things, a

Brokeback Mountain

I saw "Brokeback Mountain" this past Saturday evening, and the movie was early sold out when I reserved my tickets online early that morning. I have to say that it was one of the most moving films I've seen, regardless of the subject matter. Ang Lee is truly a remarkable director. It's amazing to me how realistically he captured the culture, way of life, and sentiment of the American West and cowboy lifestyle, considering that he's Taiwanese. I also admired that he portrayed it as a "love story"

It was a dark and stormy night

This piece started with a gag. Well, two of them, actually -- it does really start out: It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in Massachusetts that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness Though I know t

Funny Moments From the Last Year

So I was just in one of those reminiscent moods this evening and I got to thinking of all the funny little moments in my life over the last year or so. SO for your reading pleasure, and in the spirit of my reminiscing, I'll recount a few. ************************************************** Setting and background: Me, Kim and a couple of other co-workers were all at work and somehow the conversation turned to underwear. Kim: "My pants are so lose, I wish I'd worn some cuter underwear to

On curtains and pituitary glands

So I just found out today that this whole thing with the mine fire in WV has made national news. I haven't even been paying all that much attention to it. In case I'm not the only one, http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/01/20/mine.fire/index.html Last I heard, they weren't releasing the names of the people who are missing, but as it turns out I'm sort-of-but-not-really related to one of them. He's my sister-in-law's something or other. I've never heard of him personally. We went to the same high sc

DIYS-ing and Classes

***so this probably won't really be very interesting to anyone, but I still wanted to post it just in the general "journal" sorta way people do, ignore it unless you've got extra time on your hands or think I'm a much better storyteller than I'm guessing I am.*** So last night I was just getting into the shower. I'd adjusted the water temp. and I pulled the stopper up on the faucet to turn on the shower stream and......the little plastic washer thing that blocks up the water and makes it go

Okay, well I posted chapter 9 last night. I hope you're all enjoying it That was my penis envy chapter... but I'm sorta really proud of it, and I have received some... excited reviews so I guess it was what I wanted it to be. As for the next chapter it will probably be another week still, and I'm apologizing in advance, NOW, for the way that it ends... but, Davey made me do it! The few people I have shared ahead with have said that we can't stop right there... and it's a good thing that

A monster who needs his meat cut up

This afternoon when I got home from school I was soooooo hungry, so I opened the refridgerator and looked inside to see what there was to eat. I found some leftover steaks from last night so I had my stepmom heat two of them up for me. I don't know if it was because she heated them up wrong, or because she didn't add enough salt to them, but when I took my first bite, I didn't bother chewing because I was so hungry, and I got a huge chunk of unchewed steak stuck in my throat, making it hard for

Fiddly bits

Well, it looks like I'm going to be using this blog for more than I planned, so I went and tweaked things a bit. Added in some categories, changed the titles of some of the entries already posted (made 'em the names of the stories), categorized the things I've posted, and limited the size of what's shown, since the main display page is damned big what with these 1-2K word story pieces stuck in them. Yay for excuses to avoid real work!

Fun

Have you ever been on a little trip where every thing seems to go wrong? Well we were at the start of the week. All the little things that went against our plan just made it more fun. Firstly, I screwed up the train times on our way out, so we had like a 4 hour wait between trains. We spent this time grabbing a nice dinner, a couple of drinks then playing pool and arcade games. Then JUST making it back for our connecting train. So we got to our destination at 11PM our friends were ther

Justin at last; happy half birthday xander

As you may have noticed, my last blog entry was a long time ago....reason for being that my life turned boring and that I was really busy with finals, lol. Anyway, YES!!! I knew it was coming, but alas it's finally here....second semester and finally some school time with JUSTIN! Before now, the only time I saw him was in the morning for Chorus (which I didn't even get to sit by him in, and still don't ) and during 1st quarter lunch. Come 2nd quarter and I was reduced to Chorus and no lun

By Design piece

Right, I know I should be working on the last chapter of Yankee (and the first few chapters of its sequel) but I've been distracted by work and other stuff. This has been sticking in my head too -- I guess I shouldn't ever say "I wish I could write like that, but I can't" since then my brain will nag at me until I do. I think I'm calling this one By Design, but I'm not sure. It actually involves a lot of landscape architecture, though you'd not know it from this bit. Anyway, this is on

The Impaler?

In case anyone hasn't seen this yet, it's way too funny to miss. http://www.jonathonforgovernor.us/Home_page.html I honestly don't know if it'd be funnier if this guy took himself seriously or if it was all a joke. I think my favorite part is, "As I have previously stated, I am evil. However, I prefer to unleash my evil side upon terrorists and criminals. Not the innocent."

A Boyfriend or a Playmate

So today was totally amazing! I had work, which was pretty much uneventful. Then as I was about to leave, Amber came in for her shift. I hadn't seen her in about 3 weeks. See she basically transferred to our other location, but was filling in for someone. Well I pretty much had felt like it was all for the best, that she'd made it more or less clear she wasn't interested in being close friends anymore, and that I (and she) was better off. Then I saw her. I had a reaction which rather t
