    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

Oh You're Good, You're Very Good!

My life was uneventful and very boring until Green came along. I used to be this shy kid that had a close nit friendship with a couple of people I've known since kindergarten. I used to be a goth (thank god I grew out of that because it really didn't suit me) with black hair and I loved to blend in the shadows. I used to love to just read myself into oblivion, then I meet the one person that changes my life. He leads me down a path of happiness and fear, or should I say emotional roller coaster

too tired to be clever...

I worked till 10pm last night and then just before I was about to go home a co worker called and said her mom had died and she wouldn't be in for a week so I volunteered to cover her shift this morning that started at 6am... The upside is I get overtime, the downside is I'm tired and that on top of my mood which I can't explain, is making me... :wacko:   My daughter is going to stay with a family friend in Arizona for 10 days before we join her, pick her up and head to Rich's grandpa's fune

Two entries in two days ... Wow!

I don't think I've ever written two blog entries in as many days ... but it probably has to due with the fact that I'm procrastinating for a few more minutes before I get back to my translation project ... ugh!!!   I was up at 4 a.m. this morning, after getting to sleep at around 1:30 a.m., and it's now 5:00 a.m. as I'm writing this ... while listening to the "Brokeback Mountain" soundtrack which I bought yesterday (along with Billy Joel's "Millenium Concert" and the latest Eurythmics greatest

That Sterile Smell...

It's over for now. My back hurts and I am cranky. Chaz is irritating me,but it's sweet. Selene has fallen of the face of the earth which is good and David seems to have turned into a mute. My brother and mother seem to think that I am entertainment and my father keeps throwing his god fearing rhetoric in my face.   I don't know why they have to even be here right now. The only one not annoying me is my stepfather and that is because he is being quiet and helping Steve cook for everyone. Oh sp

My biological clock is all messed up

I have had the weirdest sleeping habits lately. I get to bed at a normal time, usually between midnight and 1 a.m., but then only sleep for a couple hours. Then I'm up for the day, then go to sleep again in the late afternoon and sleep until around 8 or 9 p.m., then repeat the cycle. I've tried forcing myself to stay awake to reset my internal clock, as well as sleeping medication from my doctor, but it doesn't work. One benefit of this, though, is that I do my best work in the early hours of th

Mixed Signals, Jobs, Pets, & L.D. Relationships

So here's a general summary of what's been going on in my life of late.   Friday I had an appointment to see a job counselor at the career services department of my university. I was hoping I could line up a job for when I moved to Houston, that way I wouldn't be freaking out once I got there. Well the whole thing was all but a big waste of time, my appointment was at 11:00am...I was done by 11:08. Basically I told her I didn't care too much what I did, it could be anything to do with psych

I think it's gay

Ok, so I have to go on a small rant before we leave to pick up my suit......... I guess some people don't like it when I use the word gay to describe things, and I guess most people think that when I say I think sometings gay, I mean bad. Well, listen up ...................   Gay doesn't have to mean bad.   I think it's sad that just because people have heard people call things gay and mean it as something they don't like, they automatically assume that gay = bad.

Sometimes I over react

I have a really bad habit....I forget sometimes that people online dont know me in real life, and i take a lot of things too seriously when I shouldn't let them bug me. I wont say what happened, but I will say that after it happened, I acted like a jerk....in a way. I didnt go off on anyone or something like that. Instead, I just stormed off like a dummy. There's no way that the person I was offended by could have known he was offending me. Anyway, I just want to say sorry to everyone for being

The bunny burrito

Yeah, I know I should go back and crop the black, but oh well. Anyway, he was hiding his face from me this morning while I was trying to put the stuff on his eye, and I thought it was cute, so I left the bf holding him and took a picture.

Rain, rain go away ...

I don't remember the last sunny day we had here in Taipei. It's been raining pretty much non-stop for a while now, and while it's good (we've had water shortages the past couple of summers), it's not helpful to my mood.   I'm leaning more and more towards moving back to the States this summer. The benefits seem to far outweigh staying here in Taiwan, even if I were to get into the Ph.D. program. For example, foreign professors here don't qualify for pensions, foreigners can't get loans for ca

A bunch of stuff about my life...

Hey guys, sorry I havent been on in a while. With that Justin thing and family things, I've had way too much stress lately so I've been trying to work against it by exercising and stuff and staying off the computer. I figure I don't need to be sitting on my computer for 6 hours a day and not doing anything, because when you're stressed, you gain weight and I'm not gonna go and gain weight, lol. Plus, we've been busy a lot with the play - been rehearsing till like 6:30 on some nights and it's gon

bunny health update

So we went to the vet, and I think I feel worse now than I did before. The bunny is basically a pus factory at the moment (I know that's gross, sorry, but it's true.) His nose and his eyes are leaking, and he's snuffling, and basically just sort of laying around looking pathetic. The vet isn't positive what's wrong with him; he said it's either a bacterial infection or a virus, so we've got antibiotics and we'll have to wait and see if they work. The worst part is one of his eyes, which is sort

Distant

Every one seems distant today. Green is off studying for one of his projects. I asked David if he wanted to catch a movie with me today. He said he had already seen it with Steve. I was going to ask if he wanted to go get lunch and he said that he had plans to do just that With Steve. He did ask if I wanted to come, but I said no because I didn't want to a third wheel. I think Selene still hates me so I'm not going there.   I called my friend and he said he's coming but now I look at that as a

I Really Think Her Fianc

So yesterday evening I decided to walk to my night class. On the way it suddenly begins to drizzle a bit. So I'm thinking "well no problem I'm about to walk by Coressa's apartment complex, I'll pop in and see if I can borrow an umbrella". So anyway who should I see in the parking lot, but Coressa (yeah I guess it's not that big a coincedence since it was her apartment building). Anyway she was actually carrying a pink umbrella at the time, and before I could even ask for one she offered it t

The natives are restless

As Kitty mentioned to me in an e-mail (along with the final edit of Ch. 7), "the natives are getting restless." So I'll be posting Ch. 7 on Wednesday evening (which would be Thursday morning for me, Taiwan time ... hehe) It's the longest chapter so far, and I hope everyone enjoys it. It'll be up on my own web site first, and then probably a day or so later on my GA shared member hosting page.   I'm also working on a (long) short story right now. I'm about halfway finished (I think). I'm alread

sexy details...

So, last weekend while I was sitting outside the grocery store for SIX hours selling cookies... I picked up a magazine to read... They had this article in it that allowed three couples of different levels of commitment and length of time answer this questionaire... I thought it would be fun so I made Rich do it with me He's answering his portion right now and keeps telling me not to peek, giggle! I think the man needs a voting booth and a curtain the way he is hiding his answers   Anyway, I

Why?

Chaz and I drove back to his home town today. He wanted me to meet his friends. Yes this includes his ex girlfriend. I only agreed with the condition that I could see his grandparents. I love his grandparents and I really wanted to see them, plus we have a card rematch to take care off.   Chaz said that he would take me if they were around as they go on trips every other month and this one was the other month. I agreed and we were off. His grandparents weren't home they're in Chicago right now

Original Post from some nut job

They called me an idiot. They said I was crazy. They filed a restraining order prohibiting me from coming within 500 feet of them. But now my right-wing grandparents are eating some serious geriatric crow, for recently obtained videos prove once and for all that Bush not only knew about the existence of Hurricane Katrina days in advance, but personally steered the storm into New Orleans to kill as many poor, inner-city Blacks as possible.   Up until now, the Shrub has maintained a false fa

I Must Have Been Really Loud Before

So today at work a friend/coworker came up to me and said, "you seem quiet today, everything okay?". The odd thing is this seems to be par for the course the last month or so. It seems like lately every time I turn around someone's saying how quiet I'm being and making sure I'm not upset about something. And I'm really not upset, mad, unhappy, sick, or worried. Heck I don't even think I was being that quiet today. I was completely responsive and friendly to everyone. I may not have been fo
