How far we've come

I saw him for the last time last night. I didn't get off work until 11:20, but I still headed over. My friends all said I didn't have an obligation to go, but I said I had to. I rushed from my classes earlier in the day to go buy his birthday presents, and I also made this picture frame of him and me with little inside jokes on it. I drove all the way over there with my friend, and I am so glad she came with me. When I got there, I felt so uncomfortable. I didn't know anyone else, he did a

Oy

It's been a month. Over. I completely skipped March. I have been unreasonably busy. I haven't even had time to talk to Mike in about that long, which had been heading towards an every day thing. In summary I:   *Moved. *Saw my folks. *Worked two jobs to pay for above activities. *Slept when and where I could I also had to find time to keep up some kind of exercise, lest I *gasp* gain weight. I barely had time to read or write either. It's been unreal. It is little wonder the couple grey ha

This is okay?

I was congratulating myself this morning while I prepared breakfast. I have been feeling rather good lately. Slight depression now and then, very slight indeed. Plus, I'm not overly happy. Just kind of okie-dokie all the time.   Well, most of the time.   This is afternoon I slipped back a bit. I went out to move the van inside the fence and realized I could just drive away. I could go to the bank and take out a couple thousand and simply disappear like I wanted to do four years ago when I wa

Yes, I'm still alive!

Hey guys, sorry I've been out of touch for so long ... things have been really hectic since I got my promotion at work, and I'm doing a lot of translation work in addition to that, so I haven't had much time for anything other than working. But, I'm still here, and I still plan on writing ... I just need a little time for things to get settled down! *Hug*

And do it with me...*le sigh*

I'm bored. Yes bored. I have nothing really to do. I can't do much of anything until wolfy sends me a pm or e-mail telling me that he's still alive and able to work with me, but I think I'll still talk with Talon about getting a new editor in a couple of weeks if he haven't answered me. If I'm not recieving his e-mails or pms (assuming he's sending them) then I'll have to chew some people out, otherwise, I cling to the hope that I haven't ticked off wolfy in some way... Other then that, I c

Change, of course

I've been toying with the idea of putting my first novel on GA for a number of months, but I didn't want to do it at the same time as "Chartreuse" like I did with "Pastel" and "Tim". It's just too damn confusing having two stories coming off the press at the same time.   What I couldn't figure out was when to put it up, ie, before "Chartreuse" or after. As I got closer and closer to the time for "Chartreuse" to go up, the greater the difficulty I was having with getting it to go. First it was

Safe mode is your friend

Windows XP is a wonder. It has thousands of files and a registry that turns mere mortals into jelly should they attempt to play with it.   As fancy as it is, Xp users can run into a lot of headaches. Viruses, worms and spyware (Oh my. ) are a sad fact of intenet life and anyone that has suffered their wrath won't soon forget it.   A feature of XP that many people either forget about or have never hear of is called Safe Mode. When you boot the system hit the F8 key and windows will load with

The Gasman Cometh

Our house is an enigma. It was built in the late 60s by a US Army top sergeant to be his retirement home. Well, by the time full retirement came around, he was living somewhere else and our house was fulfilling its purpose as a rental. We'll have been here ten years this August. Ten years of interesting surprises and angry outbursts of extreme aggravation.   Unfortunately, we've contributed to the house's inability to perform at its best. A number of years ago we decided we needed gas heat to

Major Changes in my Life Ahead

Yikes!   Just when I thought things were bad enough, I've been laid off! But don't worry, I've landed on my feet. More on that in a bit.   OK, let me back up a bit. If you haven't read it already, go back and read my story, The New Job. This is not only the story of my coming out to my wife, but it chronicles the story of my career, too. Although the story is fictional, the scenario is close enough. After finishing university, graduate school and medical school, I did my residency

A Trend-Setting Puppy

I found this old thread on the site. I couldn't resist turning it into a short-short story for the amusement of all. Keep in mind the fact that this is satire. If you do not have a sense of humor, do not read this!   Once upon a time, there was a mad scientist named Snow Dog. Snow Dog, being a naughty puppy, decided to reach new heights as one of the first members of gayauthors.org to join the millennium club. With pride he created a thread to mark his great achievement. In the process, four

April Foolish

I'm not, by the way, so y'all can get back to the more important things in life.   I've been having a small problem with the new story. One of the characters, Jim, is in his early 70s and he's being difficult. Every time I get around to attempting to write about him, I run into a block. It wasn't until this morning that I finally figured out what's wrong with Jim.   For starters, what's right about Jim is he's a fairly famous sci-fi writer whose early work bordered on blatant pornography.

I'll just sit this round out okay?

So life goes on, the world turns, and predictably young gay males find themselves surrounded by drama. I think it's just the way of things. Only I just really want to sit this round out. I mean I always try to avoid drama anyway, but quite often I get sucked into my friends' problems and thrown into the middle of things. This time I'm just NOT going to do it.   Things with William and Scott are continuing to get worse. I can't even mention William's name without Scott making a sarcastic,

Angry

I'm back to 276. For a few days I pushed it up to 279, but this morning I was back to 276. Difference? Haven't partaken of the Mexican food for two days and the day before yesterday I had Albondigas, which is a really, really good soup.   The mood stabilizer seems to have kicked in. I'm kind of blah most of the time, but there seems to be an edge of anger that hangs over me like that famous sword. I feel like exploding at the slightest provocation, like this morning when the wife commented tha

Transitions and Attitude Adjustments

Has anyone ever heard of a transitional bisexual? Well, for those of you who don't know a transitional bisexual is a condition of sexuality transitioning from heterosexual to bisexual. I believe myself to be one, and I think I'm to the point of being completely gay. I think part of my issue was accepting, and I have. I even made the change on my profile. I still see a few exceptions like Halle Berry and Carrie Underwood, but for the most part, I like men. Even with such exceptions, I could never

*le sigh*

So, I'm wondering how people are reacting to my anthology story since I haven't gotten a review yet. I'm happy that I put it out there, but I'm still curious. A Butterfly's Dream is rather well recieved, which is a pleasent surprise to me. I'm glad that they like that story. I'm thinking I'll post Finding Someone on eFiction eventually. Maybe after the summer anthology, or when ever I remember to do it. Which will probably be next year sometime knowing me. Okay, so I've done the bored out he

just a wet dream for the webzine...

Ryan Ross writes some amazingly kick-ass lyrics... just saying. Besides, Steve thinks he's cuter   So, anthology's up! YAY! I do hope you all enjoy all the reading there is to do this weekend. So far, I've read Faust, Lesfeuxdemoncoeur, DWrites, Libby Drew, Wrath of Magneto, and mine (repeatedly... have I mentioned what it takes to self edit??) All of you have done amazingly! I'll try to go and leave individual comments in your forums tomorrow, but I just wanted to say so.   Take a chance,

It's SOOOOO good

My life is just so amazingly good. I mean I already knew that, but the last couple of days it's really been hitting home or something. It's like I just bounce around for one enjoyable activity to the next and even when less fun stuff happens it never seems to hang around for very long.   The last three days have just been phenomenal! I had the most awesome, easy, fun assignments at work (sub-teaching), like I literally had like 3 hours off that I was getting paid for both days. LOL, and I

Religion

I wanted to bring this to my blog, because what I'm about to say isn't going to be allowed in the forums. Remember, before proceeding, that this is my blog, and I am not obligated to respect your position or opinion on any manner. There's a good chance that I probably will, though.   I want to take this opportunity to respond to a certain number of posts in the Soap Box without starting a flame war or taking the thread off topic. You see, when the conversation starts to veer away from the ori

A bean bag for my Garmin

So I'm thinking about getting one of those bean bag thingy's to hold my Garmin in place on top of my dashboard. I was actually determined to buy one last night, but I left my check card on my dresser and didn't have enough cash on me to do that and be able to buy gas so I could drive to Smithfield and back, so I had to wait. Then I thought about how important it is that I have one. Actually, it's really important, because right now, using my Garmin is a pain in the ass. I place it in my cup ho
