I hate when the words won't come

Or when they do they just don't come fast enough. Yes, I know I'm kind of whining here. Some days the words just flow out. Those days I like. Some days it's a fight for every word -- fighting against other pieces that want my attention, or fighting against a story that just doesn't want to be told right then. Those days suck.   Today's just one of those annoying days. The story's there, there's no real distraction, the words, they're just coming out in small chunks. At this rate it'll take all

Have you ever been in love?

I've never been in love, and that greatly saddens me. However, I am in lust with FFBF, and while he was singing Maroon 5 songs to me at the competition on Saturday, I realized that all I ever feel towards someone is one of three things: lust, hate, or indifference. Well, usually. With him, it was both at the same time for a while. Strange.   It has been forever since I blogged. I just haven't been in a very bloggy mood lately. So, ummmmmm what's new in my life?

Semi-Charmed Kinda Life

I think one of the main reasons I like doing stuff for myself, and all around being independent, is because growing up people always took care of everything for me. Don't get me wrong it was absolutely great, and I DID try to watch and learn for myself, but when it came down to it most of the time all I had to do was smile and say "please" and "thank you".   See as I've mentioned in previous entries. I grew up an only child with my mom and grandparents. Well everyone knows how grandparents

Chinese New Year

Another Chinese New Year has come and gone ... it's now the Year of the Dog. I'm not much into Chinese astrology, so I have no idea if it's supposed to be an auspicious year or not ... I just know that it's been cold, rainy, and the locals have been shooting off firecrackers for the past twenty-four hours non-stop. Chinese New Year is always really boring for me ... everything shuts down and everyone goes to spend a week with their families. Being that I have no family in Taiwan, it's always jus

Just a dang ole time?

I went out last night with my so called friends. We finally all had time to see Brokeback Mountain. I have one question, what is the big deal? Its just a plain ole love story. I didn't feel much about it either way. I tried to get into it but I just couldn't. Meanwhile the four idiots I call my friends and boyfriend were balling their eyes out. Does that make me insensitive? I called my friend Jonathan and he said that he hated the movie also. Then again he hates everything.   I mean if this m

Wedding bells part 3

One last partial chapter dump, so I can clean my brain out and move on to other things. Woohoo! I won't be leaving this story alone (alas the action parts come later and earlier, but aren't actually written) but it is getting set aside for now so I can work on the earlier parts of the series.   This is the third in the set of three I posted. The first one was the middle, and the second the beginning (yay for discontinuity) if you want to go read those. They're all chapter starters and get mayb

The Alternative- sneak peek

I am working on a new story and I'd like to see if it sparks any interest.   Ryan McCoy is an ordinary kid with ordinary problems. His folks are divorced, he's got ADD and, his Mom is tired of his crap. He has just run afoul of the juvinile justice system and the new draconian laws.   He is destined to go to "Alternative school" and the story is about his journey.   Interested?     __________________________________________________________________   The Alternative     Ryan McCoy

Monogamy Does Exist Right?

So today sucked!   Let's see where to begin? Well first off I text messaged, then eventually called and old (very dear) friend of mine, Claire. I could write pages on end about the complicated, but awesome sorta past we've had, but to get to the subject at hand; she broke up with her girlfriend, Mary. They'd been dating about two years now too. And actually they were one of those examples of "a happy gay couple I knew in real life". I dunno after hearing all about it, I guess it's for the

Wedding bells, part .5

These darned characters need to leave me alone, they really do. I think. (I'm not sure, it is fun being able to sit down and bang out a lot of text)   Anyway, I think I can ignore this story for right now and work on the things that come earlier. Since that means this'll likely get ignored for a year or two I'm splatting it out here, well, just because. Probably splat out the beginning of the third chapter soon as well, since that's close to being set-aside-able.   This is uneditited, even b

Damn those characters anyway

The problem with having a good setting and characters you like is that they tend to get out of hand. You think that you've got things under control and pretty much ready to go and... ha! Surprises happen and it turns out that you don't.   I've a pair of characters, Ben and William, I very much like. They're sweet and sappy, and when circumstances call for it can kick much ass and wreak massive amounts of mayhem, which is always good for some fun. (They're the two in the Wedding Bells snippet I

he made meatloaf!

Have I mentioned that I love Rich yet? I'm pretty sure I have   He walked in from work yesterday to find me and my daughter in a VERY heated discussion about her homework. Basically she walked into where I was with her math book unopened and claimed she needed help. Okay fine, I can understand that, but what I can't accept is that I know she hasn't even tried to do it on her own yet I'm totally on board if you NEED help, but I want you to try first!

Lovehammers

Yesterday this album I've been looking forward to came out, so I got on that AOL Music Now (the subscription was a Christmas present from the bf's mom and it's more or less a pain in the ass, in my opinion, but that's another story) and downloaded it. I was a huge fan of the show Rock Star INXS, and pretty much from the first episode I was all about Marty Casey. (picture) I thought he was just so unbelievably hot, and I don't think he did a single song I didn't like. Some of his versions were

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.

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
