    2025 Anthology - Big Announcement!

    By Valkyrie

    Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Joyous Kwanzaa to all who celebrate! I'm still in a bit of a food coma from Christmas dinner, but I wanted to bring a reminder and also some important news for next year's anthology.  First, submissions for Carlos' tribute event are due tomorrow, so be sure to put the finishing touches on your stories and post the link in the thread in the Writer's Circle.  Second, I decided to do things a little differently this year, and instead of having a committee decide

number 70! and i have no words...

Well, I'm going to try and explain the last three hours of my night to you :wacko:   Rich got home from work two hours late cause he stayed after to help his boss try to set up some computer thingy and then we decided that the trip to Costco would have to wait since it was way past dinner time... cause we all know how I feel about Costco. So, Tony decides we should go to Chili's for dinner and we all pile in my car and Rich is driving and he passed the driveway to the restaurant on accident

Diving in head first

I've always thought about doing a blog. I just tend to procrastinate things. I guess it's now or never though. My site designer says he has to have it made before he finishes my website which is tomorrow so here I am today trying to think of what to write!   I guess I should by telling you a little about myself, for those of you who read this that is! I live in Maine, I'm 21 years old and I work making ads for a small company here and other odds and ends they need doing. It's a real laid

The Plights of the Ladies in My Life

So it seems like life's really been dealing some of my favourite females a bad hand lately .   I went back to my (current) spade league (not the dead one), only to find out that the captain of our team, and my main partner (the one who talked me into joining after all the drama with the old league) wasn't around. I didn't see her for about a week when finally reports begain to circulate that the reason was because her sister had just died . To make things even worse apparently about a mon

Oh You're Good, You're Very Good!

My life was uneventful and very boring until Green came along. I used to be this shy kid that had a close nit friendship with a couple of people I've known since kindergarten. I used to be a goth (thank god I grew out of that because it really didn't suit me) with black hair and I loved to blend in the shadows. I used to love to just read myself into oblivion, then I meet the one person that changes my life. He leads me down a path of happiness and fear, or should I say emotional roller coaster

too tired to be clever...

I worked till 10pm last night and then just before I was about to go home a co worker called and said her mom had died and she wouldn't be in for a week so I volunteered to cover her shift this morning that started at 6am... The upside is I get overtime, the downside is I'm tired and that on top of my mood which I can't explain, is making me... :wacko:   My daughter is going to stay with a family friend in Arizona for 10 days before we join her, pick her up and head to Rich's grandpa's fune

Two entries in two days ... Wow!

I don't think I've ever written two blog entries in as many days ... but it probably has to due with the fact that I'm procrastinating for a few more minutes before I get back to my translation project ... ugh!!!   I was up at 4 a.m. this morning, after getting to sleep at around 1:30 a.m., and it's now 5:00 a.m. as I'm writing this ... while listening to the "Brokeback Mountain" soundtrack which I bought yesterday (along with Billy Joel's "Millenium Concert" and the latest Eurythmics greatest

That Sterile Smell...

It's over for now. My back hurts and I am cranky. Chaz is irritating me,but it's sweet. Selene has fallen of the face of the earth which is good and David seems to have turned into a mute. My brother and mother seem to think that I am entertainment and my father keeps throwing his god fearing rhetoric in my face.   I don't know why they have to even be here right now. The only one not annoying me is my stepfather and that is because he is being quiet and helping Steve cook for everyone. Oh sp

My biological clock is all messed up

I have had the weirdest sleeping habits lately. I get to bed at a normal time, usually between midnight and 1 a.m., but then only sleep for a couple hours. Then I'm up for the day, then go to sleep again in the late afternoon and sleep until around 8 or 9 p.m., then repeat the cycle. I've tried forcing myself to stay awake to reset my internal clock, as well as sleeping medication from my doctor, but it doesn't work. One benefit of this, though, is that I do my best work in the early hours of th

Mixed Signals, Jobs, Pets, & L.D. Relationships

So here's a general summary of what's been going on in my life of late.   Friday I had an appointment to see a job counselor at the career services department of my university. I was hoping I could line up a job for when I moved to Houston, that way I wouldn't be freaking out once I got there. Well the whole thing was all but a big waste of time, my appointment was at 11:00am...I was done by 11:08. Basically I told her I didn't care too much what I did, it could be anything to do with psych

Hey, look, over there! It's Elvis!

Bah. Characters are a pain. I should be working on the rewrite of the last two chapters of Yankee, or on its sequel, or on Wild Life, or even (gasp!) actual Real Work. Instead... instead I'm cleaning out someone's basement. Metaphorically, at least.   At least this thing should be shortish, probably about as long as Firegrass was.   To tease, here's a bit of the beginning of this untitled thing:   Untitled Story   "William," Ben said, his voice thick with accusation. "What did you do?"

I think it's gay

Ok, so I have to go on a small rant before we leave to pick up my suit......... I guess some people don't like it when I use the word gay to describe things, and I guess most people think that when I say I think sometings gay, I mean bad. Well, listen up ...................   Gay doesn't have to mean bad.   I think it's sad that just because people have heard people call things gay and mean it as something they don't like, they automatically assume that gay = bad.

Sometimes I over react

I have a really bad habit....I forget sometimes that people online dont know me in real life, and i take a lot of things too seriously when I shouldn't let them bug me. I wont say what happened, but I will say that after it happened, I acted like a jerk....in a way. I didnt go off on anyone or something like that. Instead, I just stormed off like a dummy. There's no way that the person I was offended by could have known he was offending me. Anyway, I just want to say sorry to everyone for being

The bunny burrito

Yeah, I know I should go back and crop the black, but oh well. Anyway, he was hiding his face from me this morning while I was trying to put the stuff on his eye, and I thought it was cute, so I left the bf holding him and took a picture.

Sunday drear and damp

It's raining. It's miserable, and yet I'm ok, when to all intents and purposes I should be as miserable as the day.   I've got so much to do, and I can't get my head around any of it. So here I sit loitering, reading blogs, and trying desperately to find something to take my mind off reality.   I work, amongst other things, building websites. I have updates to three of them, yet it's Sunday, and I'm playing the 'Lords day of rest' card. Come tomorrow I know I'll probably regret the wasted ho

Rain, rain go away ...

I don't remember the last sunny day we had here in Taipei. It's been raining pretty much non-stop for a while now, and while it's good (we've had water shortages the past couple of summers), it's not helpful to my mood.   I'm leaning more and more towards moving back to the States this summer. The benefits seem to far outweigh staying here in Taiwan, even if I were to get into the Ph.D. program. For example, foreign professors here don't qualify for pensions, foreigners can't get loans for ca

Colliding!

I got tapped to write a chapter of Collision, the round-robin murder mystery thing that a bunch of authors are working on. Chapter 14, "Running to Stand Still", is up on AwesomeDude, DeweyWriter, and CRVBOY. Enjoy.   (Amusingly, there's been exactly one piece of mail about it so far, asking when chapter 15's coming out, and that showed up about an hour after chapter 14 went live...)

A bunch of stuff about my life...

Hey guys, sorry I havent been on in a while. With that Justin thing and family things, I've had way too much stress lately so I've been trying to work against it by exercising and stuff and staying off the computer. I figure I don't need to be sitting on my computer for 6 hours a day and not doing anything, because when you're stressed, you gain weight and I'm not gonna go and gain weight, lol. Plus, we've been busy a lot with the play - been rehearsing till like 6:30 on some nights and it's gon

bunny health update

So we went to the vet, and I think I feel worse now than I did before. The bunny is basically a pus factory at the moment (I know that's gross, sorry, but it's true.) His nose and his eyes are leaking, and he's snuffling, and basically just sort of laying around looking pathetic. The vet isn't positive what's wrong with him; he said it's either a bacterial infection or a virus, so we've got antibiotics and we'll have to wait and see if they work. The worst part is one of his eyes, which is sort
