    Miraculous Prompts

    By Valkyrie

    The saying "truth is stranger than fiction" exists for a reason - sometimes what happens in real life is so far outside the realm of possibility that if written in a piece of fiction, readers would doubt its veracity.  I recently experienced such a moment when a family member of mine had a medical episode that should, by all accounts, have left them dead.  It still boggles my mind when I think about it.  90% of people who have this condition die from it, with most of them not even making it to t

Xander Middle Name Contest

Okay, I never really gave Xander a real middle name...my mom calls him Xander Zoe...cuz it sounds cool when you say "Jayne Joe and Xander Zoe" but I dont really like that and it pisses me off each time she calls him Xander Zoe because I tell her not to and she does anyway and I havent confirmed that that's his middle name and yea.   Anyways, I decided to let you guys come up with names that sound good following Xander, and then if one really sticks out to me that I like, I'm gonna pick it, or

this is completely pointless

*ahem* This entry is for Joe, my bestest friend ever, even if he is an asshead, since I'm going to be gone for his birthday, the exact date of which I'm not allowed to say.   So, happy early birthday, Joe!

I never enjoyed success but my family will

Today was a pretty good day except for the crappy weather, which always sucks..lol. Anyway, I was riding home from work with my dad tonight and he was listening to a CD by Memphis Bleek, and there was this one song that was playing that was so deep. It made me thinnk about my dad and everything he does and how hard he works to give me and my stepmom and my cousin everything. The lyrics go like this....   "Y'all don't understand me still I never enjoyed success but my family will And I'm alri

Dad Chat Part 2

So a couple days ago I was talking to my dad and the conversation led to him asking me if I'd ever been molested or raped. I froze for a second and looked down, my head in my hand. There's no saying "no" after that happens. So after a second I looked up at him, then away, closed my eyes and nodded.   I have to give my dad a lot of credit for how he handled the rest of that conversation. I suppose I should have known he would not freak out. There were questions, of course, as there had to be. W

Say Goodbye

It is sooo friggin' HOT here today ... UGH!   Anyway, I'm leaving in less than two days, so this will be my last blog entry until I get back to the States. I knew Taiwan wouldn't let me go without a fight, and today was like the Battle Royale. So, I went to school to pick up my last installment of scholarship money ... I get to the cashier's office, and they didn't have any cash!!! Hello?!?! Grrr ... fortunately, I bitched at them long enough and told them I wasn't leaving until they gave m

Mixing Music

Superman Returns

I saw this on Saturday. If you have the opportunity, go see it in 3D at the IMAX. Very cool. IMAX is nice because of the far superior sound system. The 3D effects while cool, I could take or leave.

Happy 4th of July!

Congratulations to the USA, you've been independent now for 230 years... How's it going?   Apparently I have ancestors who founded the state of Maryland ... which is nice. One day we'll be coming back to reclaim our 'lost estates', and run the place they way it should be run. Tea at 4pm will be mandatory, along with pith helmets, harris tweed and cricket.   Until then have fun!   Camy   Wikipedia says...

a bit of a nosy b**ch

What's that all about? Davey sent me this video of this really funny comedian, Peter Kay, and those are a couple of the lines I really loved, the dude was pretty funny!   So I officially must have sucker tattooed across my forehead :wacko: I was supposed to be off work yesterday but instead, they asked me to work for another girl who went out on disability, along with a second girl who lost a family member and will be off for several days dealing with all that, and so... I said I would... it'

Take another shot of courage

Well, I did it. I went out on a limb and I did something that I might or might not regret. I guess I'll find out for myself soon enough because I already sent the email off and there's no way to get it back I won't say what I did, because if it doesn't go how I hope it does, I think I'll be crushed, and I don't want people to see that side of me. Sometimes I don't know why I'm scared to take chances, even though in the end I know I'm going to do it whether I'm scared or not. That's just how I

Love life of a wuss

ok so there isn't any just yet...   However!... On the 21st, Mick's flatmate (who I loath, though for no particular reason except he's his flatmate - though he is really, REALLY irritating) is going away to France for a week, leaving him on his own. So I'm going to use the time to find out one way or another. Done deal. As people* have said so eloquently, I have to GROW A SET AND TELL HIM OR YOU'RE GONNA REGRET IT! and on the morning of the 22nd they will be fully grown --- It's really h

So... progress. I wrote eighteen whole pages today. They just happened to be split up over three different stories. I think a few days off has done a lot for getting those creative juices (why are they called that?) Flowing, but apparently, they

Defense Mechanisms; Fear of the Uncertain

I spent a lot of my life hiding from myself, in more ways than one. Psychologists say that the mind and body each develop certain defense mechanisms to make it through the stresses in our lives. As with all things with me, this is rather complicated.   It seems as though the defense mechanisms I developed were in place for so long that I fear now they have grown to become and are more a part of me than what they were defending. I don't understand the how and why of it, my only explanation is t

My own fault

Well, I admit it....I've been slipping. My writing has been sucking lately. I feel really dissapointed in the last chapter of My Jump Off that I posted. Here's what I think happened....     I started off just writing for my boyfriend, but i felt like I wanted everyone to read what I was writing, mainly because I think I wanted to know if it was any good or not. I mean, getting an honest opinion from Taylor about a story I was writing just for him was going to be impossible. So I started posti

Anthology & things

I've finally sent my anthology entry in, and I feel like I've just finished a marathon. I don't know who said writing is supposed to be relaxing, but whoever they are, they're mad. Or perhaps the writing is relaxing and the deadline is what gets my heart pounding at 300bps. Dunno, and honestly I don't care now, 'cause it's in and all is well with the world...   Except that England have been knocked out of the world cup by Portugal. This is a pain. Probably some sort of global karmic retributi

One week and counting!

One week from right now, I'll be on a big ass plane, flying over a big ass ocean ... I just hope I don't have a stomach bug on the plane like I did when I flew back to the States from mainland China back in '98 ... that was a horrible experience, and one that I shall not go into details about!   Anyway, today had to be one of the most tiring days of my life, plus it is FRIGGIN' HOT here in Taiwan right now. Today was my last day of work, and after work, all of the staff in our division went

Spicy chips and the Catholic Church

I rather like Cross Country now. Why, you ask? Because of a boy, exactly like everything in my life. There is a totally cute freshman on the team and now I look forward to practice. Sadly, I've only seen him once, and I've never spoken with him. Yet I fully intend to talk to him as soon as I can.   We're going out of town tomorrow, to God Damn New Mexico. I hate New Mexico, and I am NOT looking forward to this, especially because we get back on my birthday. Great way to spend a birthday

Why do I do it?

warning......serious self exploration ahead     Ok, so I got this email from one of my Nifty readers, and they asked me a simple question....why do my two longest stories and all of my almost all of my poems involve plot lines or themes where the main character has a good family???? I had to stop and think about it for a minute, and then it came to me in a flash.....because I think families are important. Not just because I come from what I think is a good family, but because, as a Christi

Feeling a bit better today

As always seems to happen with me, when I get to feeling bad I can feel good again by sleeping it off.   In other news... pics of me seem to have come into popular demand, so here's a good one... of me sliding off the face of the planet. Enjoy!
