    Secret Author - Rewind!

    By Valkyrie

    The posting of this year's Secret Author Contest will be delayed indefinitely due to Cia going through a tragic family emergency.  Please respect her privacy and do not reach out to her and ask questions at this time, especially about when the SA stories will be published.  We apologize for the delay, as we know this is a highly-anticipated event each year, but family matters take precedence, especially during a time like this.  Thank you for your attention and understanding.  Stay tuned for mor

Tiger blood and other crack head horse shit

You can't turn on the TV or go on the tubes of the internets without running into the crackhead formerly known as Charlie Sheen.   After regaling us with tales of "socially" using crack and talking his way into getting fired from a shitty shit-com, he's now suing everybody in Hollywood not playing along.     I make no secret of being in recovery. In fact I help other addicts if I can. It's part of the 12 steps that Charlie THE CRACKHEAD is too good for.   To be perfectly honest, we dre

A normal blog for once <3 (:

- A Confession - I was reading a blog post earlier, and I never knew how powerful photographs could be, a snapshot of the heart. I secreatly wish that when I do meet my prince charming, he'll somehow capture my beauty by taking lots of photographs of me. Now I know that this may be a ridiculous wish because in reality, I tend to hate most photos of me-and especially as I feel insecure about my body and my facial expressions that believing that I could be photographed beautif

How do you know if a relationship will work?

I'm really in a mind to not try getting a boyfriend for a while. Dating is such a confusing affair!   So far this year, I dated this one guy, whom I met over a dating website. I don't multidate, like some people do. I like to concentrate on one objective, and I do trust that the other guy is doing the same.   We had many things in common, never ran out of conversation, have pretty similar outlooks on life. The fact that we are both bi-lingual French-English was a definite plus.   After

Confessions of a Self Confessed Technophobe

So, I was thinking about all the sexy new sigs and thinking 'WOW I wish I could do that' and knowing it was never going to happen.   And then this pm popped up and I opened it and there was this angel flying around who blew her trumpet and announced... Lo I bring tidings of great joy, for this night shall be born on GA a sig of great sexiness.   No, seriously, it was Cia who offered to make me a sig.   And then we met on MSN and we chose a picture (which incidentally Cia took. I think it'

- tell me your pain -

Lately I’ve been having the same dream over and over again.   I dreamt of a beautiful boy on top of the highest hill.   He was singing, dancing and he invited me to join him.   So I climbed that hill, but it was so steep.   I kept climbing and climbing   but the hill just got steeper and steeper.

Ten weeks and other ramblings

Today marks ten weeks - ten weeks you ask? The baby is ten weeks along. I hope to post pictures in the gallery later tonight.   Speaking of ten weeks, I have to say what an amazing person our surrogate is. Of course there is the obvious, that she is carrying our kid for us, but above and beyond that, we got SO lucky when we found her. First, she takes everything so serious. More than many soon to be moms I know. She won't drink cola because it is bad for the baby. I mean she researches

Recap:

Well, let's start at the beginning, first there was darkness, then there was light.....   I am dating again and this time, it feels like a keeper. Politically, we're closer to each other than anyone else before in either of our lives. We're both insufferable intellectuals with a keen eye on debates.   I have never been so attracted to another man as I have with him; it is like we complete each other.   Okay, here's a few things thought I know and noticed between us:   1. He's really big

Oh my God, it's full of Trolls!

You don't really have to go this far to find them.   The Internets are full of trolls.     Even the nice kids are getting pissed.   This jackwagon gets around.

[Eternal Insomnia]

1001 Sheeps... 1002 Sheeps... 1003 Sheeps... ...   Forget it, all this counting is starting to irritate me. I think it's been about 3 days? I think I'm sleeping but yet I'm widely awake? I think I might go crazy.   I try and I try so hard to close my eyes, but I only find myself staring at that same ceiling in perpetual horror. Perhaps I should decorate all its emptiness with bright glowing stars... Gleaming with hope, I guess.   Sigh; I tried to demand myself to fa

Why Westburo/Phelps Phails Miserably

Check it:   I Corinthians 13:   4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.   8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will

been a long time

I finished my first week of work in a permanent job this afternoon. It's been a long time since I knew where my next check was coming from.   Don't get me wrong. Contracts can be fun- if you can get enough work to survive. It's feast or famine and way too much famine.   I don't make the same hourly rate but I'll make much more over the long haul because of consistency. No weeks (or months *shudders*) in between.   It's so good to go home for the weekend and know the job will be there on Mo

Some bad news. Please read.

Hey Yall,   This might be in bad form or something to the effect but this is the only way that I could think of to let everyone know the situation.   Some of you might know that my mother and I have been living with her boyfriend. What you don't know is that he has been sick, badly, these last few weeks and has passed away today. Because of this the next few months are going to be difficult here. We won't be able to stay where we are, can't afford the rent, so we'll be working on moving

Waste of a Day - i.e. Time I Will Never Get Back

Having the day off is such a wonderful thing - most of the time. This week, despite being 'furloughed' on Monday - which is a crock of pig dung because a furlough is not the taking of a day's pay, it is the taking of a day's pay and telling you that you don't have to work. What they did was take away a paid holiday but call it a furlough so they don't have to give us a day off which is how it is supposed to be - but I digress.   I was trying to be productive. I have a list of things I want

strangers we become

i vent my frustration through thought-and maybe i feel better     If I were to feel happy for someone, a friend, rather than annoyance and hate, would I feel better as a person? I can get over things like a champion, if it was an Olympic sport I'd get f**king gold, should I do that? Dust in the wind? But that is just heartless, then again, I have not much heart left.   Should I care? Caring is for the weak, peons, slaves, not for warriors and high generals. We let others care for us. Let m

Noise- Darin Bradley

Noise by Darin Bradley   This is one of the most timely and brilliantly conceived novels that I've read in a long time.   Timely because it doesn't take a great deal of imagination to know that there are big changes coming. Whether our society is elastic enough or will break under the pressure is an open question.   Brilliant from a writers perspective because the author uses his words like an artist uses a dry brush to get just the right color.   Given the shape of the world today, wh

More University of Delaware Stupidity

Just when I thought UD couldn't come up with even more inane ideas...they proved me wrong.....   UD Wants to Close Academy Street   See, I get the principle of what they're trying to do- they're trying to create a more closed, Ivy-League like campus(like say, UPenn), and what they have to do to achieve that is to get rid of throroughfares.   Still, Academy Street is just way too critical north-south route to close like, especially when you consider the fire station

jelly

one issue I have with myself is that when I get jealous...I get jealousss. It isn't the pyscho bitch jealous though, its me in my head jealous, being angry at whomever I am jealous over. I don't get jealous often, which might explain why i take it so seriously. the other reoccurring theme is that its something i SHOULDN'T be jealous over. im sure i'll be over it tomorrow.   I had a most enjoyable weekend. I went up north to a buddies lake house and partied, one of the guys there i had ban

For those who may be politically interested

Earlier this month, the HM Government passed the electoral reform bill. This contained a number of reforms, but the two main points are (1) Equalization of the sizes of constituencies, (2) a reduction int he overall number of MP's and (3) a referendum on a change in the voting system.   Our current voting system is called "First Past The Post" or FPTP, which is to say, you cast your vote, and the person with the most votes wins. It's relatively simple, and actually the vast majority of natio

Big Time Win

I'm FINALLY back in the big time.   All of those certifications that I earned have finally paid off.   I start Monday as the Systems Administrator for a mid size law firm.   After years of working contracts, I've got a REAL job again.   Not to worry. I will continue to write.   I have a new story coming out for the Spring Anthology that I think will be pretty good according to my beta readers.   That story has me developing another several stories set in the seventies.

What hell looks like

My cousin was diagnosed with terminal cancer last summer. We have tried to keep in touch as best we could but we got word last night that it was only a matter of hours.   I drove my Mom to Pascagoula, MS this morning and arrived at the hospice where my cousin is staying for her last days.   As soon as I entered the place it was like stepping into hell. There were people in various stages of excruciating death in every room. The first sound I heard was a man screaming for morphine.   It tur

Sixteen Candles - or years in my case.

Saturday marks sixteen years Mike and I have been together. There have been ups and downs, but as I write this I have a rush of emotions that remind me how lucky I am. I was talking to someone about relationships, someone in their twenties who lamented they hadn't met anyone, had never been in love and how sad that made them. It got me thinking.   I've been out for about half my life. I came out when I was twenty three. Had my first 'boyfriend' that year. I don't know how many dates I w
