    Twisted

    By Aditus

    I love twisted statements, like, ‘I know the killer but don’t know who they are. Or, I’ll be there yesterday if tomorrow doesn’t forget me. They make you stop reading, thinking: Wait- what did I just read? Let’s try that PT Prompt #356 Use one of the two sentences above and use it as the first line in your story/vignette/drabble/flash.  PT Prompt #357 Create a twisted, weird statement/sentence and use it in a whatever you choose text. Please include the prompt numbe

Ha! Knew I could do it.

I finished the first draft of my anthology piece, tentatively title "Lovers Really Fell In Love to Stay." I'd been stuck on the same spot for weeks, trying six or seven times but unable to move the plot forward in a satisfactory manner. I finally decided that I couldn't go to Borders until I finished the piece. That was about two horus ago, so clearly this method of self-motivation has a bit of kick to it.   The next step is to finish and edit all of the unreleased Khayyam stories, and one by

It was bound to happen sooner or later

So. Mo. It has taken me this long to remember to bring the notebook up from my car.   Note: This is the very first thing I've written for him. His character is not fixed yet, so some of the jokes may be different from how I sold him a couple weeks ago.   ************ "List every priority you have, in order, of what you want in a job." It seemed simple enough, just too bad I couldn't list, "hot coworkers" as the primary consideration. I put down "large company" and hoped for the odds.   "M

Molten Gold Pasties... Everyone!

So last night Viv's GA outreach snagged one more.   The other Steve (our very own wildone) is in town doing the vacation thing ,and Viv talked him to meeting a couple of crazy natives. It was cool to meet wildone. Very nice guy, even if I was held up and my promise of arriving at sixish turned into more like sevenish. You see the other Steve had promised to bring cold weather with him. Turns out he knows his stuff, cause go figure No rain in months, and it pretty much rained all damn day. Effe

Thwok!

My fairy godmother bopped me in the head with her wand last month. I think mostly to get my attention. He (well, it's certainly obvious to me) doesn't flit by all that often so I'm never ready to get that little stick upside my head.   And, then, lo and behold I get a PM advising me I'm going to become a Hosted Author here at GA.   Well, what could I say?   Of course I said, "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, you can have my first born male child."

Feeling blue

Wow, I haven't blogged in like, ten years. I also didn't know there were more posts in my forum. My bad. I forget to browse around whenever I'm here; usually I post my new chapter and bounce. I have to thank Drewbie! Thanks for being so loyal.   Anyway, been feeling kind of crummy lately or mentally haunted by this book I had to read for my literature course. Music of Chance by Paul Auster. Fantastic book. Reads really quickly, flows well, and well written, full of emotion. In fact, it was wr

What's with the Psychos?

Why is it that every f**king time I try to find a nice guy, I fail. But if by some miracle I do find a nice guy instead of the typical assholes, they turn out to be psychotic.   I feel like going into this whole long rant about stupid people and crazy obsessive stalkers and how much it annoys the crap out of me, but I don't know if I'm up to it...   Yes I am.   So I deliberately didn't post anything in my blog about my boyfriend for the reason that Snowy mentioned... it always f**ked it up

At the edge, again

I know it's because my mother just died.   I know that.   On Saturday, I did a posting blitz and posted more in one day than I've ever done since being here. Quality was not my goal. Humor reined supreme.   The laughter is gone.   I stand at the edge of oblivion.   If it wasn't so damned cold, I'd go for a swim.   If it wasn't raining, I'd go for a walk on a high bridge.   If I didn't want to live, I'd cease to be.   Life has been bad before.   Oh, god, has life been bad, befor

reason dies a little death

***WARNING*** useless b*tching below ***WARNING***   Why is it that some people just have to be pig-headed and obstinant just for the sake of being pig-headed and obstinant? Furthermore, why are these people related to me?   So quick run down.   I wasn't at work yesterday (Thank God for Sundays!) Anyhow there was a bit of a mishap where a custermer paid for $20 of product. recieved it, then through some sort of error or system screw-up proceded to get $31 more product.   the custermer th

Randomness keeping me up

So it's after 3 in the morning and I'm supposed to be asleep but I feel like I just woke up or something. I have too many thoughts swirling around in my head, mainly random crap that I've been stewing over. None of it's relevant, but what the hell??   I think I'm gonna try to stop smoking weed again. I've tried so many times before, but everytime I stop, I get crazy and blow up at people around me. I went all day Saturday without getting high, but I was past irritated with everyone for no reas

My Approach to life

Hi everyone,   So I'm probably not the best person to give advice to others, but I am feeling pretty cheerful/content right now, despite all the junk life's been throwing at me recently. So anyway here's a few things I have opinions on. If nothing else it'll be nice for me to have them written down somewhere.   My Approach to Life:   -Learn how to be happy alone; if you don't enjoy your company why should anyone else?   -Always accept people's help and support, but always try to give m

Not ready to age gracefully

I knew intellectually this time would come, eventually. I always thought that I'd be mature about it, accepting my fate with some dignity and perhaps a bit a levity. Actually, that's a flat lie. I was depressed most of my teenage years, and never really thought I'd live to see drinking age, let alone twenty-three. It didn't really hit me that I was going to have a full-fledged adulthood until I was standing there in the sun with my BA in hand and wondered, "Well f**K. Now what?" So worrying abou

New stuff has come to light

Hi there, everyone. I haven't been insanely post-whoring lately, and I even lost some creds as a proofreader; but since November 1st, this has been quite a roller-coaster ride.   I never discussed this here, and only told two people I think, though reading Krista's, Sharon's or Steve's blogs, I'm definitely not alone.   My mom died on November 9th. She was diagnosed with breast cancer right before Christmas 2001. At that time, she was 55, walked and trekked a lot, worked too... I'll sum it

A Sad But Happy Story!

So i was checking my email and got this from work, it was sooo touching that i want to share it with you guys <3 Just remember the below is not my work at all. And is a true story...     We all know or knew someone like this!!   One day, when I was a freshman in high school,   I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.   His name was Kyle.   It looked like he was carrying all of his books.   I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday

Full of angst

I had one of those "oblivion" thoughts yesterday. I don't know if you have them, but they kind of go like this:   "Religion is good because it keeps the masses in line. If most people did not have religion, they might come to the realization that life doesn't make a bit of sense. We're all pretty much like a herd of gnus. We plod through our lives according to society's plan and then die. Everyting we were, everything we did, everything we might have thought, everything of us dies, comes to an

A character

I had a rather...bitchy rant posted here up until a few minutes ago, but I've decided to nuke it. It wasn't particularly healing or necessary.   Instead, I'm going to introduce y'all to one of the characters floating about in my head. His name is Missouri Weeks. Mo for short. He's a bit of a loser, in that he sort of drifts through life in a happy daze most of the time. He is, in other words, what my mother calls a space cadet, only sometimes touching down on earth before his mind is off on an

121.9 in Madera

Okay, I'll admit right up front I'm trying to lose a little weight. Heck, I've been trying to lose a little weight since I don't remember when, probably around the time my nickname was "Tubby" and I figured out the other kids weren't trying to be nice.   So, my latest ploy at losing weight is to do it metrically. Using kg's I only have to go down 21.9. Using good ol' avoidupois, I need to drop over 40 and that's a lot to drop. Plus when losing kg's a little goes a long way.   I broke the 122

Richard Jeni, JFK, Red Hair and Weeds Finale stuff

Forgot to put this into the last post which was about politics (thus this part is like, Politics II). Funny and true: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhw8DFSGzvg   I was going to put up another vid of Richard Jeni, but for some reason it is not working. So, if you want, look up "richard jeni gay baby" on youtube. Very funny.   And Now, For A Public Service Announcement:   "The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically o

Hello Again

Hehe, I like philosophy class. I especially like the way baptists gang rape logic and philosophers pretend to be experts in the other sciences. I have also decided that philosophy is probably the most useless waste of brain power possible. There is absolutely no realm within philosophy anymore other than ethics; almost all of the other major questions they pose can be answered by one of the other sciences with concrete evidence, as opposed to shaky inductive arguments.   Don't even get me

Happiness reins in an errant soul

Okay, so you didn't get to vote. Maybe you should've sent a comment like Old Bob. If you've got any complaints, send them his way.   No, I'm not going to change the title every month, but I might do it annually.   I'm still riding a euphoric high right now, so enjoy this happy mood while you can.   I'm working very hard on the Kevin project. The words are coming together and if all goes according to plan (i.e., I don't have a setback on the depression front, etc.) Kevin should be ready to
