A Brand New Day....Coming Tomorrow

I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

2009 is certainly off to an auspicious start. My life has been so unbelievably good the last few weeks.   Right now I just feel like all the stars have aligned and everything's going right. I'm feel like I'm in a really good place and on strong emotional/relational footing in pretty much all of my relationships!   I'm really enjoying my resurrected friendship with Brian. Oddly enough, I feel like the song "Cool" by Gwen Stefani sums it up nicely: Yeah, I know we're cool   And

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year: 2

Slightly over three years ago I made a blog entry entitled "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." It's amazing how much things have changed since then. I have a completely different life now. I was happy then, very happy actually, but I have to say I think I'm actually even happier now.   I had the most fun this weekend! Friday night I went to a housewarming party, which was really awesome! It was actually for my girls who had moved back last August. LOL, it took them that long to get se

It looks like a spade...

So I may have to call it that.   Every so often I go through this period during which I keep thinking, "I used to be a much nicer person." I admit that there's every possibility that I did not used to be a much nicer person. Perhaps it's just an illusion, the classic 'good ol' days' phenomenon, but in any case I think I used to be a nicer person.   I never used to be judgmental. I always used to try my best to see things from the other person's perspective, give them the benefit of the do

Friends and Lovers?

I don't sleep with my friends. Well actually I don't screw my friends. Sometimes we share a bed in the non-sexual sense. It's always just made more sense that way.   Recently, Scott seemed to have been hinting that we might make a good couple again. I stop and look at it objectively and I have to say it makes sense from a detached standpoint. We have a lot of fun together. We spend a lot of time together. We're each other's 'type', and we definitely care about each other a great deal.

If you hadn't already noticed...

I've kinda not been around a great deal lately.   I'm fine and there's nothing to worry about.   Basically, as I indicated in my forum post a couple of weeks ago, I've just had other things on my plate. LOL, those of you that have been around a couple of years or longer are probably already well aware that periodically I tend to disappear for a couple of months (or perhaps a bit longer)...well it looks like now is that time again. It's amazing how much more I'm able to get done when I don

I'm not getting better...just older

Warning: self-pitying, whiny post ahead     So it's almost my birthday and I've been trying to forget it...isn't easy though, I told one friend months ago when it was during a time when I wasn't stressed out about it and damn if they don't all know now!   I keep getting that, "So what are we doing for your birthday?" question.   Don't get me wrong; I appreciate the sentiment, but I'll be honest, here's what I want to do on my birthday: I want people to send me a nice text, or a brief, c

Hi everyone!   I'm majorly excited about having my own forum now! It's called AFriendlyPlace, I really hope you guys will check it out and say hi!   I'm hoping to make it a fun, friendly place where people can go to have a good time and chat about my stories plus whatever they want. I'm also got a few ideas for some story related game threads that I hope people will enjoy   On another note, Worth A Shot should begin posting fairly soon.   Also, I'm extremely excited about my Fall Ant

Dates, Tickets, Counciling, and Parties

A brief recount of my weekend and week thus far:   All last week Luke kept pestering me about not spending enough time with him (he's clingy...and I occasionally make long posts). So we agree to meet up Friday night. So I'm tired Friday night, but I fix myself up and get ready anyway, wouldn't be fair to cancel on him right? WELL, I call him, right on time mind you, and he announces that he's gone off to the movies with Scott, John, and another guy. Based on the way he explained it, I read

One of those surveys that starts on Viv's blog and eventually makes its way to mine

Are you tan? Goodness no! I'm naturally a very fair-skinned person and I'm obsessive about skin care/health. Tanning is a really bad thing for someone like me to do to their skin.   I occasionally use moisturizer with a subtle tanner in it, and I think I have a decent 'glow/colour' thing going on (I'm in good health), so I don't have the pale goth look either.   Do you use proactive? Nope, like I said, I take good care of my skin and I'm lucky to have nice skin anyway. Do you own chan

Information about BMAD and other stories

Hi everyone,   I was going to respond to Steph's comment in the last blog, but I was planning to post a quick blog about BMAD anyway, so I decided to just do it in this entry:   LOL, thanks, Steph   BMAD definitely has some aspects that are taken from my real life. For example it takes place in Houston and with the exception of Bender's and Frank's all the other clubs, restaurants, parks, etc. that I mention are actual places in Houston that my friends and I periodically frequent.

A recount of recent events

I stayed up till 5am chatting with my best friend (Scott) last night/today. I was really nice, we hadn't had a chance to hang out just the two of us and really talk for several weeks.   FF ('former friend' from previous entires) seems to be interested in reconciling. Things have been warm and pleasant between us of late. Nevertheless, while I'll continue to be nice to him, and even welcome his presence among our mutual friends and shared activities, I don't think I have any interest in re

If No One Notices

...this blog entry I'll just get bored and post a new one. However, I very much hope that someone notices my Anthology entry. It's the first time I've actually finished one AND decided to turn it in, quite an accomplishment let me tell you   In other news, I had an all around productive day writingwise. I bashed a chapter of the BMAD sequel and also my entry for the "Anniversaries" anthology (why not do two in a row right?)   On that score though, and I'll be very busy the next few days,

Did I ever tell you about the time...

So I've had a great many very interesting experiences in the last few months that I haven't recounted in my blog due to lack of free-time and/or poor motivation. Tonight I felt like writing up a quick blog, so I've decided to share one particularly harrowing event which occurred about a month ago.     It was a typical enough day. I was sitting in class (as teacher not student, unlike any current 'I was sitting in class' stories) and I decided that since I had so much to do it would be good

Damn Sex in the City!

...For making Cosmos trendy! I've never even seen a single episode of the show, and I've been drinking that drink for years. Now this movie comes along and suddenly I look like every other gay boi in Houston when I order one!   William was even drinking them the other night! That's not his drink! He's supposed to drink red bull and vodka! (mind you, given what a dangerous combo that is for one's heart I'm glad he did switch in that respect)   This simply will not do! Until further not

Everyone's nicer than me

Just a bit worn out and kinda stressed.   I feel like I've been really ignoring all my friends and family for the past week or so. Haven't intentionally meant to, but the busier I get the more I just want to be by myself when I'm not busy. So basically it comes down to less time in general AND less desire to be with people. Anyway, as a result I feel like I have some serious catching up to do with people.   Speaking of which I'm meeting Ryan for lunch today. Now is such a phenomenally ba

Overwhelmed

First off, I wanted to let everyone know that Buy Me A Drink Chapter 2: One for Later is now up. Thanks to everyone who read and commented on chapter 1 (and thanks to everyone who only read and didn't comment, but if you get a chance please feel free to! ). If you haven't checked the story out please give it a look!     Anyway, I had that second date with Ryan. It was really nice, we had coffee, went for a walk in the rain (the 'in the rain' part wasn't exactly intentional ), then we h

Busy but good

Hey everyone!   For everyone who saw my last blog entry and is wondering where it went, I set it as a draft (invisible). It was basically just me bitching about a friend of mine (no one at GA) who kinda wore me out and ticked me off. I did mean what I said, but I mostly just needed to vent and just writing it out made me feel better, so I decided not to leave it up just in case he, or a different mutual friend who knows him or something, ever happened across it somehow. I wouldn't want to h

Buy Me a Drink

So I've finally released the first chapter of my new story, Buy Me a Drink. The first chapter is entitled, Hot Mess. Please, please, PLEASE read it and let me know what you think. I was a bit nervous about starting to post it so I'll be happy with all the feedback I can get (good, bad, or indifferent). Here's a link to the discussion thread.   A little bit about the story: Bmad is a stand alone story but it's also the first part of what I intend to be a two part story. Indeed it's much sh

Good, Bad, and Random

Blah, so for some silly reason I thought it'd be fun, or therapeutic, or interesting, or...something to write a blog entry in that style. Probably because I have a lot on my mind, I'm tired, and my thoughts aren't well organized. Anyway:   Good: I up staying in town this weekend and did catch up on my rest.   Bad: Major, expensive car trouble.   Random: It sorta sounds like I'm driving a racecar now...I like it.     Good: I thought on it awhile and decided to take the plunge.

Praying for August

So this summer is going to be entirely too busy! I've been dreading it for months now, and it basically officially started for me Monday and now I'm just desperately hoping I can hold out till August.   I have to take THREE summer courses, a major exams (5 hours long!), do observations and curriculum AND work full-time!   Basically this translates into getting up early every morning, working, going straight to class, not getting home till about 8:30 or 9 at night (and that's for right now

If I hadn't left...

I had the most amazing weekend!   I got back into Baton Rouge Friday afternoon and visited with my friend Mandi until Saturday afternoon. We relieved all the things we used to do and pretty much spent the whole time talking non-stop. We're both very chatty people, especially her, so it was a ball. I got really nostalgic seeing all the old places and how they've changed and how they haven't.   Over dinner Friday night we went to our favourite restaurant, where we used to go about once a

Across the field, through the tunnel, and over the fence.

So a couple of days ago the craziest thing happened! I was minding my own business at work and it was time to go to lunch. So I walked out, and realized that I'd gone out the wrong door and that my truck was on the other side of campus (I'm a sub. teacher for those who don't know). SO, I thought, "it's a nice day, no point in turning around, I'll just cut across this field." So I cut across this GIANT field only to find that there was in fact no easy way to get back to my truck and that I ha

I stole it too! (another survey thingy)

Could you forgive your best friend for sleeping with your partner? I would definitely want, and expect, to forgive them at some point, but in all likelihood both relationships would be over. How old will you be on your next birthday? I hate this question   I shall be 24; now leave me alone about my age!   Have you ever seen a live bat? Yuppers, there's a 'bat colony' in Houston, and I'd seen them before then. They're cute little things!   Is there anything/anyone you hate? ...I hat

"Oh wait, I do"

So I was hanging out with Scott, Luke, and John last night and eventually John went home and Luke went to bed and Scott and I kept talking for awhile longer. Eventually, I decided to go home...and then realized I couldn't find my keys. I have a chronic problem keeping track of my things, particularly my keys, so it was nothing new, but certainly frustrating. On the bright side John has developed this amazing gift for finding things for me! Prior to last night the last several times I've lost

The severs have been tied

So William isn't moving to Kentucky after all. Predictably, his relationship didn't work out. Honestly I'm just so relieved it ended before he moved. Of course this aborted relocation doesn't change the fact that he and Scott have to move. The house they were renting is being sold. Originally the landlord was giving them till the beginning of the summer, but after all the stuff with William likely moving to Kentucky, and Scott and Luke deciding to move in together everything was pushed up a
