    What Do You Want?

    By Valkyrie

    First, a reminder that the deadline for this year's anthology is fast approaching!  The Proof Team is hard at work, but keep those stories coming in!  I've been brainstorming some ideas for the anthology blog, and I wanted to get input from authors and readers of the anthologies.  Please tell me what you'd like to see in future anthology blogs, and I will do my best to make it happen.   1.  Anthology Rewinds - re-featuring past anthologies 2.  Writing tips - such as grammar, punct

Got one of Marina's babies to sit still. No clue how she acquired the name of Chicken, but she has.

Please, don't feel my pain

Ok, so I had the surgery yesterday and the doctoer removed the tumor. We have to go back today for a followup at the doctors actual office somewhere in Norfolk. When we're there, I think I'm gonna give this guy a piece of my mind. He promised me that it wouldn't hurt, and that I would hardly know what happened. The truth is I'm miserable. And maybe I'm just being grouchy, but I really think this jerk either lied to me or he screwed somthing up and I'm not supposed to feel this sore and tender.

Woo-hoo!

I won! I won! I won!   I have recently started hanging out on E-bay. It's a really cool place to pick up things at a bargain.   I got a copy of IBM's DB2 for the PC for $25. A new purchase would cost me hundreds. Computer books , science and text books- always WAY overpriced new can be got for a song on E-bay. I got my Object Oriented Programming in C++ for $10 (90$ at the bookstore). College book stores- what a racket!   What I'm really pleased about is the auction I won tonight. I found

Just call me Diddy......

Ok, so as of midnight, i'm not allowed to eat or drink anything. That totally sucks because I know that when I wake up from my surgery tomorrow I'm going to be thirsty and it'll probably be the same guy as last time feeding me ice chips with his bare hands   That said, I've come to a conclusion......I'm like P Diddy.....no, I'm not a famous rapper who lives in New York, and Suge Knight doesn't want to kill me (at least I hope not :wacko: ) but for the last few days, I've been saying things l

Too Low For Zero

It's Sunday night here as I write this, and I got absolutely nothing done this weekend, either packing or writing ... I just slept ... a lot. Very unproductive. I'm going to try to convince myself to go to Sogo (an upscale Japanese department store) on Monday afternoon to buy some new summer clothes, and also get something nice to wear for my exam on Friday. Maybe I should be nervous about my exam ... I tend to worry excessively about things like that ... but it's been the furthest thing from my

4 surgeries in less than a year.....this sucks

Ok, so now I know what the sore spot is.....another dang tumor. I'm getting so sick of this. They're sure it's not cancerous, but they can't be 100% sure until it comes out on monday   This is the third time I've had a tumor removed in less than 9 months. If you count the surgery on my leg, that's 4 surgeries in less than a year....wtf. Sometimes I wish I could just get hit by a car or struck by lightning and get it all over with. My dad's totally stressed out, and he hasn't slept in two day

ramblings

In an effort to preserve my sanity, I'm taking a break from packing. I can't believe how much crap I own. You can't walk through the living room or the bedroom, because there's boxes and suitcases and trash bags everywhere. At least I know if I forget anything I'll be able to get it back. Some of my stuff is at Mark's parents' house, being stored, so we can't not ever speak to each other again. He has been nice enough to help me some with the packing, although honestly most of the time he's more

the icing on the cake...

Okay so I sort of had a mini breakdown yesterday I think I'm going to mostly blame it on my monthly female hormones... but I finally got to see some pictures of my brother's wedding that I couldn't go to cause it was in Spain and I was crying! Then I wondered why I was crying and I think it was because I really, REALLY wanted to be there, which is REALLY selfish because it's not about me, it's about him and how he got married and that I should be happy for him, which I am, but... anyway then I

watch this!

Okay so a crazy hectic week and it's just gonna get worse I'm pretty sure... but I guess it's all worth it since I'm getting a new sister out of it all and I get both my brothers home at the same time I do have to make a wedding cake though so it might almost be a trade off...   I just got home from work and Rich showed me this video clip, OMFG!!!

(long sigh)....... Here we go again

Ok, so today has been the day from hell. I knew I had a doctors appointment. My dad made one for me last week because I have a real tender spot on my stomach, and it's getting bigger and worse. So today we go to the doctors and he presses on it real hard and I kinda yelped a little. Then he feels all around it to see how big it is, and I tell him that it's gotten bigger. Then he sits back and takes off his glasses and asks me about my appetite. I tell him that I'm eating ok, but my dad jumps in

No rest for the wicked

This has been an interesting few days. I've been procrastinating about shipping the next box of stuff ... I should probably get it packed up tonight and shipped tomorrow, but I've been procrastinating about that. Instead, I've been doing some cleaning, pitched an old bookcase, took Simba for his booster shot yesterday, and am gonna pitch another bag of stuff later on today. I really am a pack rat ... I shouldn't have this much crap that I need to get rid of ... *sigh* Oh, and I get to take Simb

A Shadow of My Former Self

Jonathan has abandoned me. After a week of not talking, I emailed him this:   ---------------------------------------------- I always wondered what I would say to my best friend when I graduated high school. I mean I figured, maybe I could somehow turn it into a happy thing

Tempting Fate

The one thing I should have learned from my dad is never to tempt Fate. It was probably one of the basic rules of his life, the one that formed the core of who he was. If he said anything pleasant about the future, such as,

disobeying my mother

As much as I love the woman, my mother is crazy. When she found out that I had been coming to this site, she directly forbade it. Oh well. That was like three months ago, and I have stayed away as long as I can without exploding. And as I am sure that no one wants slaveboy guts all over them, we had better avoid any exploding.   So hello to everyone! I see that things have changed a lot here at GA. What all have I missed? So far I have met many new people, most importantly Patrick .

What a Borg

I now officially have an unhealthy Star Trek habit. I was having this really nice dream last night, where I was out on a date with some tall, dark, handsome guy, and everything was going great until suddenly...he's assimilated by the Borg! Of course the night before that I dreamed that I was slaying vampires with a machine gun, so who knows. I don't suppose I have any underlying violent feelings or anything.   Yes, I know this entry was completely pointless.

okay....not what I was expecting

Okay, so I learned something this weekend, and I don't think I was supposed to know what i found out. We went camping this weekend and we had a really good time. When it was late last night and my stepmom was asleep, me and my dad stayed up and kept the fire burning so we could visit with eachother. I guess I should stop here and tell everyone that until last week my dad had no idea that I came here and that I was writing. He got on my pc and figured it out. Anyway, he sent me a dumb pm with h

Subtropical Heat & Broken Showerheads

It is hot in Taiwan right now ... although that is what you come to expect from a subtropical island. But I still don't have to like it, and I don't. And the humidity is so high that you feel like you're practically drowning if you go outside. I could handle it when I lived in Florida, because they have this wonderful thing called "central air-conditioning" in the United States. They have it here, but only in the nice, new office buildings. Most apartments only have the window unit kind, and the

Future

People always say, "Don't worry, things will get better...blah blah blah." What these people don't understand is the future is just that the future. Not predictable, not controlable (although I've tried)....   Lately, my depression is getting worse. Jonathan has purposely not talked to me in three days--even though he had plenty of opportunities today and I txted him and KNOW for a fact that he has his cell phone, because I saw him with it today.   The Situation with Max just gets worse.

Annoyed

I do not appreciate being woken up. Ever. Under any circumstances. I mean, even if it was 2 pm, I haven't slept worth a crap in days and I didn't go to bed till after the sun had come up. But, there I am, actually asleep, and I slowly become aware that someone is pounding on my door and won't go away. Grr. So I get up, look around in a panic for some clothes, and make it to the door just as it's being unlocked. It's the landlord, and I can't understand a word he says at the best of times, bec

Life, death, mad dogs and kittens...

You know, if you ever want to get a real strong sense of mortality, of that very fine line between life and death, have kittens. One day there is a big, fat, healthy-looking kitten bounding around a room, getting into things, biting your finger

I'll Be Back

Hey everyone!   Well this could be a huge mistake, and there's every chance I won't last a day without compulsively checking for updates, but I've decided that I'd better take a break from GA. Finals start Monday the 8th and end Saturday the 13th (and I do have one on Saturday ), then my move is the following Monday (the 15th). So in that time I need to pack (oh boy do I need to pack :wacko: ), Study for finals, find a new job for when I get there (really stressing out about this!), and t
