    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

Refreshing Honesty

I'm finding myself getting more and more drawn in to the world of GA.   I've made a few friends here, and am starting to feel more comfortable with this portal that allows me to be honest with the world, if only through a veil of anonymity.   Tonight was liberating. I had a conversation in chat with someone... and he asked me some direct questions. Questions about my past, and my future. And he has made me ponder the larger questions in my life - for starters, can i really bring myself

Food porn, music and disaster

Food Porn     I tried the new Kentucky Fried Chicken Double-down sandwich.   It's frikin' awesome. Where else can you find all the awesomeness of fried chicken, cheese and bacon in one mouthful?   I had one and... no chest pains!     Cool Old Videos   My facebook friends know that I post a cool old video from youtube every day with a special on Saturday night and a theme for the week. This week theme is the blues influence in early rock.   Because Mondays suck and I want it to s

long time, no post

I guess that is how things go...   Quick run down, My workplace caught fire in December. Don't know if I mentioned that. The rebuild process has been slow and cumbersome, yay for city governments. While it has been being rebuilt, the business was sold.   I bought a new car, a 2010 VW Jetta. Some say it suits me... I don't know if that is a compliment or whatnot.   A week and a half after buying said new car I "interviewed" with the new owner, and by "Interview" I mean I listened to him ext

Bieber Fever

so, Bieber Fever has hit.   like, really hit.   the little f**ker's everywhere!   what started as an unexpected (read: unwanted) surprise on daytime tv last month, has now turned into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. he's #1 on the charts, #1 on Twitter, #1 in little girls' hearts and I'm pretty sure full-grown adults do #1s in their pants every time they hear his pre-pubescent voice.   but, for all the hype and screaming and oh-my-god-he's-so-freaking-cute, Bieber Fever is still a wor

Progress

Ben has been published   Valley of the Dwarfs is out for editing and will start posting soon.   Have started a new story tentatively titled The Killer of Men. It is a post-apocalyptic kind of story. Most of the Earth's human population is dead (the Great Plagues) or gone (the Great Exoduses), leaving small pockets of people out in the countryside or in what remains of cities. Jesse is twelve, going on thirteen, when the story starts. He is a member of the Red Men of the Blue Knoll clan and y

Election Fever

In case any of you hadn't noticed - there's an election going on here in the UK. We're entering into the final weeks, and I'll have to admit to following things quite closely.   I should say at this point that I am extremely biased - i've given significant sums to the conservative party over the last few years, and am an ardent supporter of the right wing position. Now, before I go any further, I want to debunk the myth that UK Conservative Party = US Republican Party. There is a tendenc

The White Tie Dinner

Last night I attended a dinner, at which the dress code was "white tie". For those of you not familiar with such things, white tie is the more formal version of "black tie", and is not usually worn these days. Now, not to brag, but white tie is a look that i really can pull off - I looked awesome. I have quite a heavy frame (think - rugby player. Bulky, but not fat), which was complimented by the cut of the tailcoat.   I had a really great time. I'm not usually the best at formal occasion

I'm just glad he's leaving.

Met my ex today. Total disaster. Well, he's leaving for Belgium in 3 days. I'm just glad.       Well, just a little background why I don't like him at all.   We started the relationship (well, i don't consider it a relationship, i'd say it's f**k buddies, but obviously he thought otherwise) when I was recovering from a crush on a straight buddy. (I know, I know! Don't crush on your straight buudy.) So I'd consider him more like a buoy, or so we call it. It's like you were drowning in a pas

James....

So there's this guy... (how many times am I going to start a post like this?!)   And he's Married.   We both happened to be at the same meeting today. I couldn't keep my eyes off him. He was wearing a black suit, with a black shirt and grey tie... which for me is the most incredibly sexy look. And underneath, you can see the perfectly toned sculpture of a man who spend a lot of time in a swimming pool...   So I kept looking, and the thing is, every time I looked at his eyes... they wer

the Second Time Around

the Second Time Around     1979   I first met Randy when we were sixteen. I met him at Frank's house- a guy from my football team that I screwed around with from time to time. He enticed me to come over by telling me about a kid from his neighborhood that wanted to join in.   Randy was a shy kid. He wasn't big or athletic or a jock. He was cute and a lot more feminine than most of the guys I previously messed around with. What caught my attention was his bright, intelligent blue eyes.

Washing away the weekend

Yesterday - as one might gather from my post - I was slightly depressed. I allowed myself to remember something wonderful, but that inevitably lead me to the pain that came after. Someone commented on my post that it looked as if I was leaving Narnia (referring to my own perception of how deep in the closet I am) - and this reminded me of the freedom that I felt back then. At that time, I still hadn't felt the full weight of my responsibilities, or of expectations. It was a time for me when

I'm back?

Is it even right for me to say that I'm back?   I'm not sure how long I've been away, but since I always got email notifications, I've never considered myself left. It's not like I've been away for more than 4 months. (Yes, I'm talking to you, BiD )   So uh, anyone who may want to know why, if there's any that is...   Wait for my summer anthology story then, if I come up with anything that is.   Twas a personal issue which I'm considering turning into a short story or something.

A memory to start off with....?

He was wearing Blue; and it sparkled not because of the colour, but because it was HIM. Have you ever seen a guy who just draws your eye, and holds your attention like a vice? Where it's almost painful to turn away? David. His name was David, and he was my first for many things. the first guy I felt that "spark" with. The first guy I kissed. The First guy I Made love to. And the First guy to break my heart.   I only mention it because of what day it is - today is the only day I allow m

Why am I here?

Why have I come here? why am I writing a blog? What's this british upstart thinking of coming along into the forums and stirring up the soapbox?   Well, I think I need to tell you about myself first. I am so deep in the closet, I'm half way to Narnia. I live in a small town in the UK, and generally speaking homosexuality is not accepted. So finding an escape online has become a sort of "release Valve" for me. A few years ago I was a member of another internet forum, and we formed a very

Overcompensating

So, as planned in my last post, I did come out to my siblings over the Easter week-end, while we were all together with their respective spouse and children. Everyone proved really supportive and understanding.   It was apparently a big surprise for my brothers, until they realised that some of my past started to make much more sense seen in this light. Not so much of a surprise for my sister, because of things I had hinted at in the now distant past. And also because she's now very close to

The Valley of the Dwarfs

It just came to me.   The working title of the new fable is now "The Valley of the Dwarfs."   Yes, I know! I know!   It's been done.   But, this isn't a rehash of "The Valley of the Dolls."   Honest.   Besides, the strongest intoxicant in the Hinterland is dwarf ale, which will knock you down onto the floor and roll you around in the filth.   Just finished Chapter 5. A couple werewolves showed up. And, it was daylight! Figure that one out. The alpha male, Alberto of La Rosa, is bla

Grad School Update

I got my acceptance letter to my back-up school yesterday. It's this mid-sized public university in western Pennsylvania called Indiana University of Pennsylvania, or IUP. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from my first choice, Millersville. Either way, it's great to know I have a place to go to no matter what.   All I have to do now is just make sure I pass Italian, and things are good from here on out. It's strange how that's parallel to my experience of the spring of 12th grade- I got

One down

Posted the last chapter of "Dreams Can Come True" this morning.   The next fable, "Ben," should be up in a week or so. Although there are 5 chapters, they'll all be posted at the same time. It's probably the closest I've come to a "children's story," but unfortunately, I had to throw in some sex and the cute children's story becomes something entirely different.   The fourth in this series, which just might be longer than the others, has been completed through Chapter 3. Don't have a working

Family. Ugh.

My whole family is bitching at me right now because I'm applying to this school called Millersville Univeristy, which is, at an hour and a half away, 'too far' for me to go, and 'isn't a good school'. They keep bitching at me to apply to a closer school in the area, and look at closer area schools, which I have! They are either too good for me to get into, or they don't have my program. Then they bitch about me about how I need to take educational courses if I'm going to be a community col

This is my life...

... and I'm still laughing!   I just got home from work and Rich and I are eating dinner and I'm talking to my fourteen year old daughter and she tells me that her colorguard instructor told them all they should watch some movie she can't exactly remember the name of because it's FUNNY! After much nonsense, we figure out the movie is Pee Wee's Big Adventure...   This is what happened next:   Me: Didn't he go to jail? Rich: In real life? Yeah... Me: Tell her what for. *insert uncomfortab
