    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

Xander, my poor wittle puppy

Well I hated that I had to do it, but today I took Xander to the vet to get his "testiculars" removed . I didn't want to, believe me...I wanted to let him be a little naughty at least once in his life, but sadly, all he got was to hump the air above his friend Moses' leg.   I knew this was coming when we kept Xander, because obviously animals are animals and we didnt want any inbred puppies. I tried sticking up for Xander a few times by saying 1) that it's my dog house and kennel, and 2) fo

Stay or Go?

So here's the thing. (YEAH it's gonna be a long thing just to warn you guys)   I currently attend college about 70 or 80 miles away from the small city in which I grew up. I attended a very preppy private high school, and loved it. I have no complaints worth making about my childhood. BUT here's the thing. It's true what they say about the gossip factor. And given that my high school/city/circle or whatever is fairly small, everyone really is in everyone elses buisness. I don't have iss

changed my mind...

Okay, so I had planned to write about how I thought everyone else was being all whiny and needy today, and in the end I was the whiny, needy one. I don't know if it was me all along or if they just rubbed off on me   Anyway, Rich took care of that Poor guy... hehehehe. He was... well, behind me and then afterwards, he rolled over and lay next to me and not even 2 minutes later I look over at him because I hear him snoring it's kinda cute actually. His heart is still beating really fast, I

Something

I had a nightmare last night. It involved two of my friends that have passed away. They were sitting together talking and they motioned for me to come closer. Jonas was typing on a laptop. What ever he wrote Vladimir spoke. The first few things were just normal things but then he wrote this in red:   "You're joining us soon"   I started to run but I ran into them again this time it was in a car. I got in and Jonas started to drive looking at me from the rearview mirror as Vladimir just smile

scary phone call...

Well, 2 trips to the craft store, 6 glue sticks, 48 bows, one hot glue gun, a super designer hubby, one trip to Office Depot and 36 hours later all my Christmas cards are made, written, addressed, stamped, and waiting to be taken to the post office tomorrow! I only had to stay up till 1 am to finish making them and God bless the person who invented self adhesive envelopes!   So work is bullshit right now, no other way to say it really.... whatever! I'm tired of being pissed about it.   So

The Angry deck of Cards

I'm still having a hard time with entry titles, so I just used "The Angry deck of Cards". Boring. But then again, my life is boring, so oh well.   We had a test over the Odyssey in English class today, and there was the world's most ambiguous essay question at the end of it. However, I did quite well on it I think because I rock at bullshitting my way through everything. And bullshitting is really all that writing is; making something out of nothing.   So, the reason that a certain someo

I Can Barely (Physically) Write

So I just got home from taking one of my finals. As I start to take it one thought keeps running through my mind "oh Wow this is HARD!" The final? no, the physical process of writing. It was awful I could barely scrawl out what I wanted to say. I guess I should explain.   When I first learned to write as a kid, I sucked at it. I mean I was always known for having the worst handwritting in the class. In grade school we'd always pass our papers to the person behind us to grade. Well it wa

This is hard

Thinking for a title to each entry is not easy. It kinda stinks, to tell you the truth. Does anyone agree with me? I hope some of you do. Maybe I'll just throw random letters. Like this: geioauhr, iwoejens, Martin Luther...   Umm, so, Life is going well right now. Except that I found out that I might not be going to the science bowl this April. Which sucks on every level because I realy wanted to go, but we "usually don't take freshmen out of state." Which is retarded, because I'm bet

She's Pregnant!

Ok so you guys remember my friend and coworker from earlier posts, Amber, the one who'd taken up the strict ideas about appropriate male/female interaction? Well anyway like I was saying in another recent post, while things aren't quite as close as they were with us, we're doing pretty well again. Well this morning we're working alone together (till about 10 when someone else joined us), and she's says "I want to tell you a secret" So I say "OK, I promise I won't say anything" And that's whe

The hardest chapter

Well, I just posted chapter 35, and I want to say sorry in advance to anyone who reads and notices a bunch of spelling errors......it was a hard chapter to write. I actually started crying at the end when I was remembering everything that happened that day...in a lot of ways, it was harder for me to write this chapter than it was to write chapter 4, which was also a crying chapter for me...anyway, I had so many tears and my mind was so clouded that I forgot to edit it for spelling and puncuation

my plan has gone out the window...

So I had this whole plan see... I had a whole Saturday off and I didn't even ask for it! Shocking I know...   So the plan was... Get Rich to hang up the Christmas lights outside, get our tree, go to... ugh... Costco buy a birthday present for the birthday party we were going to that evening... at Chuck E. Cheese :wacko: ugh... and get the stuff I needed to make my Christmas cards.   Instead this is what happened....   I got up early and actually... FINALLY finished the chapter I have be

I've Spotted It!

What have I spotted you may ask? Simple, my kitchen counter, and I'm not at all happy about it. :wacko: It looks awful.   A year or so ago my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzhiemer's, and since then my grandfather has taken to looking for food, drinks, and other natural remedies which may help her (she is taking her meds too , though often goes through periods where she refuses to). Anyway one of the things he found out was that turmeric may help. Turmeric is the ingrediant which makes

I know he didn't just........

It's funny what a few days can do......my last entry was about hoping we would get snow, this one's about swimming in the ocean today....really. Here's what happened......... Yesterday when I got home from school my stepmom checked the messages and my cousin James had called and wanted to know if me and Taylor wanted to go camping with him and his new bf....well, it was way too cold last night, so we asked my dad if he would just take us this morning to where James and his bf were camping at.

I ran, I ran so close away!

I went out with Chaz tonight we werent going anywhere fancy so I took my laptop with me. Chaz was a little annoyed but he ultimately understood that I'm not a freshman and I can't afford to slack. So as I did my work we alked and shared a nice conversation at our table when he told me something that I thought neither of us was ready for.   "Green I love you," I looked up from my computer and in a lower scared voice he says, "even when you ignore me."   I panicked and I grabbed my laptop near

Where do you keep the cigarettes?

Ok, I've been asking the aformentioned question all day today in my oh-so-perfect two-pack-a-day voice. It made my sister laugh so hard she almost peed herself. Just imagine a fourteen-year-old kid with a gay-sounding lisp and somewhat high pitched voice asking that. I sounded like a Russian Prostitute.   So, I finished a story that I've been working on for quite some time earlier today. Head on over to The Domaholics forum and check it out under "Member Poetry and Short Stories". I hope

I Guess That Makes Me a Vegetarian Too

LOL today at work this lady came in and ordered turkey, then as I'm finishing it up she say's "thanks, it's for a vegetarian." Now this did catch me off guard, and while I'm sure I shoulda just kept my mouth shut I was thinking there must be some mix up or something so I'm like "wait, the turkey is for a vegetarian?", and she responds "yes, he doesn't eat pork". At this point I decide it's definitely best to shut up. But considering I don't eat pork either, I guess I'm a vegetarian   In ot

The Cherries aren't the only ones Jubilant

So today was awesome!   I got a full night's sleep (about 9 and a half hours), I usually try to do pretty well for sleep, but lately I've only been getting between 6-7. Anyway today was the last regular day of classes for me, next week is finals. Of course sleepoing in resulted in me missing my first class (it was on purpose BTW), but I think that's ok, because all we have left is the final, and it's only over one chapter, so hey, I'll just read the sucker.   Anyway then my 2nd class went

She is my daughter after all Anyway we had to drop her off a half hour before show time with an adult so Rich stayed with her while I ran down the street to the bank to deposit my paycheck and to the grocery store to pick up the cookies my daughter informed me that we are supposed to bring tomorrow :wacko: for her holiday party.

The haircut from Hell

Mephostopheles himself attacked the haircutter that gave Hot Cross Country guy this haircut. Well, I guess that's being a little dramatic, but it's seriously the ugliest haircut ever. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's still really hot, but the hair was kinda the icing on the cake for his beauty. I almost cried when I saw it.   We had many academic team competitions this week, which I rock at. But, I am pissed at the varstiy team captain, becuase we had a competition where there is a compute
