    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

Thank You

I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who reads my blog and offers support and advice, to all the great people I've met in Live Chat, to everyone I so enjoy interacting with on the message boards, and in general to the entire GA community, be they actively vocal or a silent reader. This is a great place and I've met so many amazing people here. I could never thank everyone enough for the kindess, support, and good times you've all given me, nor could I say enough in praise of Myr and GACs

CRAZY DAYS!

This saturday is Chaz and I's three month anniversary. I'm freaking out and apparently so is he. We both wanted to plan something so we compromised. One of us will plan the night when the other can have the day. We played rock paper scissors and I got the night. So I feel like cooking and Selene and I poured through several cook books. I found something I wanted to make. I found out he's allergic to something in it.   So i found something else I want to make but it requires alot more time than

umm, random stuff, yeah...

We got our taxes done yesterday! That's out of the way, yay!   I gave two tours of the store today to kindergarteners... I just love doing that. They are so... easily amused, predictable, intruiged, and still LOVE learning new things. Plus, there were the WAY HOT firemen there again today!   When I picked up my daughter after school today she told me that the kid she sits next to in class, the one that is always bugging her to the point that she has asked the teacher to relocate him, got in

February

"February made me shiver with every paper I delivered, bad news on the door step, I couldn't take one more step"   Well it's here. The month I literally dread all year. I'll just go ahead and say it now; February sucks! ALOT! I'll explain.   Two Februarys ago it was pretty much the worst time of my life (thus far). Why? Well tough to say. I know in general I was feeling extremely lonely and pathetic, but there probably wasn't much of a tangible reason. Of course that's what makes it

The ENTIRE Justin and Lorena story

Okay, it occurred to me that some of you don't know the whole Justin and Lorena story.   Here we go...   *Vroosh!* Back to mid-eighth grade. I'm sitting in chorus class. A girl passes a note to another girl who passes it to me. I open it and read it:   Will you ask your friend Justin if he'll go out with me? *Lorena*   I immediatly start laughing my ass off. I couldnt help myself...in the entire time we knew each other we never really talked about girls and I didnt really see h

Have you ever been in love?

I've never been in love, and that greatly saddens me. However, I am in lust with FFBF, and while he was singing Maroon 5 songs to me at the competition on Saturday, I realized that all I ever feel towards someone is one of three things: lust, hate, or indifference. Well, usually. With him, it was both at the same time for a while. Strange.   It has been forever since I blogged. I just haven't been in a very bloggy mood lately. So, ummmmmm what's new in my life?

Semi-Charmed Kinda Life

I think one of the main reasons I like doing stuff for myself, and all around being independent, is because growing up people always took care of everything for me. Don't get me wrong it was absolutely great, and I DID try to watch and learn for myself, but when it came down to it most of the time all I had to do was smile and say "please" and "thank you".   See as I've mentioned in previous entries. I grew up an only child with my mom and grandparents. Well everyone knows how grandparents

Chinese New Year

Another Chinese New Year has come and gone ... it's now the Year of the Dog. I'm not much into Chinese astrology, so I have no idea if it's supposed to be an auspicious year or not ... I just know that it's been cold, rainy, and the locals have been shooting off firecrackers for the past twenty-four hours non-stop. Chinese New Year is always really boring for me ... everything shuts down and everyone goes to spend a week with their families. Being that I have no family in Taiwan, it's always jus

Just a dang ole time?

I went out last night with my so called friends. We finally all had time to see Brokeback Mountain. I have one question, what is the big deal? Its just a plain ole love story. I didn't feel much about it either way. I tried to get into it but I just couldn't. Meanwhile the four idiots I call my friends and boyfriend were balling their eyes out. Does that make me insensitive? I called my friend Jonathan and he said that he hated the movie also. Then again he hates everything.   I mean if this m

The Alternative- sneak peek

I am working on a new story and I'd like to see if it sparks any interest.   Ryan McCoy is an ordinary kid with ordinary problems. His folks are divorced, he's got ADD and, his Mom is tired of his crap. He has just run afoul of the juvinile justice system and the new draconian laws.   He is destined to go to "Alternative school" and the story is about his journey.   Interested?     __________________________________________________________________   The Alternative     Ryan McCoy

Monogamy Does Exist Right?

So today sucked!   Let's see where to begin? Well first off I text messaged, then eventually called and old (very dear) friend of mine, Claire. I could write pages on end about the complicated, but awesome sorta past we've had, but to get to the subject at hand; she broke up with her girlfriend, Mary. They'd been dating about two years now too. And actually they were one of those examples of "a happy gay couple I knew in real life". I dunno after hearing all about it, I guess it's for the

he made meatloaf!

Have I mentioned that I love Rich yet? I'm pretty sure I have   He walked in from work yesterday to find me and my daughter in a VERY heated discussion about her homework. Basically she walked into where I was with her math book unopened and claimed she needed help. Okay fine, I can understand that, but what I can't accept is that I know she hasn't even tried to do it on her own yet I'm totally on board if you NEED help, but I want you to try first! Anyway he spent a lot of time explaining

Lovehammers

Yesterday this album I've been looking forward to came out, so I got on that AOL Music Now (the subscription was a Christmas present from the bf's mom and it's more or less a pain in the ass, in my opinion, but that's another story) and downloaded it. I was a huge fan of the show Rock Star INXS, and pretty much from the first episode I was all about Marty Casey. (picture) I thought he was just so unbelievably hot, and I don't think he did a single song I didn't like. Some of his versions were

I Had to have Another Hit

I was trembling.   I'd carefully avoided it all day, but now the withdrawal was getting stronger. My nerves were shot. I couldn't stop pacing. Thinking back I realized that I couldn't pinpoint the exact time the addiction started. At first it was something I only did occasionally. Maybe as a way to celebrate, or after a stressful day. Then I gradually began to need a fix everyday. I'd promised myself those days were behind me now. I'd even told everyone that, that part my history was

I still have nightmares...lol

I woke up this morning in a panic from a nightmare, and I had to actually turn my light on to make sure I was in my room. It was the same nightmare I've had about 5 or 6 times now.... We're living in California again and Im locked out of our house for some reason, but the phone is ringing and Im desperate to get in because I know it's my real mom calling, but I can't open the door. When I finally get inside, the phone has stopped ringing and I've missed the call. So I go around the corner and f

The Shadow Boys One: A Conversation In Heaven

I found the place hidden at the end of that alley. Twelve Shadow Place, a small theater that went by the name Shadow Theater. The place had definitely seen better days. The gold paint on the door was chipping and the box office glass was cracked. The marquee read THE SHADOW BOYS EXCLUSIVE ONE NIGHT ENGAGEMENT   My boyfriend had sent me a letter asking me to meet him here. I anxiously paced back and forth this place was giving me the creeps. There was no one here. In fact I had

Brokeback Mountain

I saw "Brokeback Mountain" this past Saturday evening, and the movie was early sold out when I reserved my tickets online early that morning. I have to say that it was one of the most moving films I've seen, regardless of the subject matter. Ang Lee is truly a remarkable director. It's amazing to me how realistically he captured the culture, way of life, and sentiment of the American West and cowboy lifestyle, considering that he's Taiwanese. I also admired that he portrayed it as a "love story"

Funny Moments From the Last Year

So I was just in one of those reminiscent moods this evening and I got to thinking of all the funny little moments in my life over the last year or so. SO for your reading pleasure, and in the spirit of my reminiscing, I'll recount a few.   ************************************************** Setting and background: Me, Kim and a couple of other co-workers were all at work and somehow the conversation turned to underwear.   Kim: "My pants are so lose, I wish I'd worn some cuter underwear to

On curtains and pituitary glands

So I just found out today that this whole thing with the mine fire in WV has made national news. I haven't even been paying all that much attention to it. In case I'm not the only one, http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/01/20/mine.fire/index.html Last I heard, they weren't releasing the names of the people who are missing, but as it turns out I'm sort-of-but-not-really related to one of them. He's my sister-in-law's something or other. I've never heard of him personally. We went to the same high sc

DIYS-ing and Classes

***so this probably won't really be very interesting to anyone, but I still wanted to post it just in the general "journal" sorta way people do, ignore it unless you've got extra time on your hands or think I'm a much better storyteller than I'm guessing I am.***   So last night I was just getting into the shower. I'd adjusted the water temp. and I pulled the stopper up on the faucet to turn on the shower stream and......the little plastic washer thing that blocks up the water and makes it go

The few people I have shared ahead with have said that we can't stop right there... and it's a good thing that

A monster who needs his meat cut up

This afternoon when I got home from school I was soooooo hungry, so I opened the refridgerator and looked inside to see what there was to eat. I found some leftover steaks from last night so I had my stepmom heat two of them up for me. I don't know if it was because she heated them up wrong, or because she didn't add enough salt to them, but when I took my first bite, I didn't bother chewing because I was so hungry, and I got a huge chunk of unchewed steak stuck in my throat, making it hard for
