    Talk Talk

    By Aditus

    Conversations. Sometimes it’s too much, sometimes too little, formal, informal, clumsy, artificial, with another word: difficult. Let’s practice, Shall we? #253 Someone is on the bus. The guy beside them fidgets the whole time with an irritating tinkling bangle while telling them, it seems, their entire life story, including very personal things. It’s time to pop in the earbuds. When it’s time to get off the bus, the talker has disappeared and the strange bangle is now on th

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

personal crap/life sucks

I guess it might be a little weird to talk about personal stuff "in public" like this, but it's not like I have anyone to talk to, especially at 5 in the morning, and I sort of need to get my thoughts in order. So, my apologies to anyone wondering why they should give a crap. But here it goes: my boyfriend just dumped me. I feel like I'm in high school or something, saying that, and the whole thing is just so surreal. We've had one of those relationships where I guess I knew this was coming even

A day without immigrants?

Disclaimer This blog entry is in no way meant to be offensive or racist. I know that we're all decendants of immigrants. It's with that in mind that I write this entry ........     One of the biggest jokes I think I've ever seen is the so called Day Without Immigrants.....I mean, who cares?? In Los Angeles, they were expecting a million people to show up and at the first rally, it was only about 25% of that, and at the second rally, it was even less, and most of the people at the second rall

Rainy Tuesday Morning

I haven't been able to get any writing done over the past few days, because I've been working on a rush translation job for a company. It only pays US$130, but that'll at least pay for about two boxes to be shipped back home. I'm almost finished, and once I'm done, I need to try to get a little further ahead in the chapters for SOOTB. Chapter 16 is taking forever to finish, and I don't know why, because I know exactly how I want it to go, but I can't seem to sit at the computer and type more tha

Life

Hey- Thanks for all the comments guys, I really appriciate it. Max and the girl he likes are getting closer...I have to say, its hard, when I see them together to just pull back and get out of earshot so I'm not being intrusive. \   Today, the girl he likes, who I thought was angry at me, talked to me, (we used to be pretty good friends before Jon pretty much took the friendship), and thought that I would be really pissed at her.   I really want him to be happy, but its hell watching them

Maybe this is why I am what I am...

I'm gonna preface this blog with the fact that I'm sunburned and my dog is shedding her winter coat ALL over my house! Also, I am so ready to start a new week. Last week left me feeling like I couldn't concentrate on any one thought for too long, which for me, is ridiculous since normally I think things to death and then... rethink them. Anyway, on with the blog!   So lemme see... I started out the week editing two amazing new stories for some friends and all I'm gonna say is the stories ar

Sifting through the layers

Was reading Someday Out of the Blue. I had no intention of reading it, especially when someone told me what it was about. Knew there would be nerves touched. But a discussion in the chat room and with Mark made me decide to read it. I am partly glad I did

Dolphins, Darfur and the world

Warning...rant ahead ...........     Ok, so I saw this story on AOL yesterday about 400 dolphins that had washed up on the beaches of Tanzania, and after I read it, I went to the AOL boards to read what some people were posting about it. It was totally disgusting to read some of the people ask questions like, Who Cares?, or to see crazies saying things like, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney poisoned them. I think that dolphins are probably my favorite see mamal, and I don't think a lot of people ha

Last Day of April

I posted Chapter 13 of SOOTB on Saturday morning. I'm still working (slowly) on Chapter 16, but I at least have the whole thing mapped out, as well as most of the rest of the chapters, unless something comes to me in the middle of the night and I decide to make some kind of major change. I'm estimating that it will end up being about 23-24 chapters, plus an epilogue. I've also started working on a new short story that I will probably submit for the Summer Anthology. I've only written the first p

Locked in the Bathroom

I've had a teriffic last couple of days!   I have this friend/coworker, Josh (completely different guy than the I Really Think Her Fiance' is Gay Josh), who plays the guitar and sings. Well anyway he'd gotten a "gig" (gosh, it's fun actually using that word in a story) to play at this club (straight club ), so anyway me and another friend/coworker, Patrick (who is gay) decided to go watch/listen etc. So anyway I was going to give Patrick a ride but he lives on the other side of these railro

It's coming, I promise!

Ok, so I know it's been forever and a day since i've posted a new chapter of What's the difference between me and you?, but I promise it's on it's way. I'm all caught up with my editor, Talonrider, so anything I send him is all he has to do. I've been working on chapter 43, so it's definitely coming soon Also, I'm missing a few finished chapters of the story, so that's why the posting of the edited work in efiction has been delayed. I've gotten as far as chapter 10 corrected, but I'm missing th

Max

Sigh, lessee....   A long time ago, Max told me (I was the first to know) about the girl that he likes. As time passed, he explained that he was trying to push it down and not deal with it. I, however, was sitting on the side-lines in a little bit of an awkward position--listening to my crush talk about his crush, on a girl. So time passes, I get closer to Max, a little bit ago, we went to the mall with friends, and i sat alone next to him in the movie theater. Basically, this, and spendin

I'd rather be sleeping

I so did not feel like coming to work this morning. I haven't been sleeping well lately ... lots of weird dreams and stuff. Anyway, I've pretty much accomplished everything I set out to do this week. There's still one more box to ship, and I'll do that this afternoon when I get off work. I also got a haircut yesterday which was long overdue. My trip to the post office yesterday was painless, fortunately. The printer also did a good job with my thesis, and it ended up being a lot cheaper than I h

Moving On

I would just like to say for the record that whatever happened in the last few days is over as far as I'm concerned. I deleted the blog entry that was related to it, and I've also dropped some dead weight that I had been toting around for a while now. It happened, and it was sad, but I'm ready to move on. The only thing I'm sorry for is that I let myself be angry enough to pollute my blog with that garbage. I owe Myr and all of the readers at Gay Authors an apology for doing that, especially the

The Spring Anthology

Hey everyone!   I read the Spring Anthology and all I can say is "WOW!" You can really see all the effort the authours put into making it a success! I don't think I could pick a favourite story if I had to! I just know that I feel much richer for having read them.   It even inspired me to give this whole "Day Of Silence" thing a whirl. I'm actually counting it from the time I wake up on the 26th until the time I go to bed (which is a full day to me), thus I don't feel like I'm cheat by

I might have to quit my job

Well, I had it out with the old man tonight. He wants me to wuit my job because he says I'm too young to have a job and to be taking the kind of classes I'm in at school. I told him no way, but he pointed out to me that I was up last night past 3 in the morning finishing my hw. He's right about that part, but that doesn't always happen. Usually I can finish my hw before I'm off work. I do a lot of it while I'm at school and I try to finish it while I'm on break. But last night I had a lot of wor

Cubby

Cubby died this morning.   First thing, I want to thank everyone for their kind and encouraging words about Cubby. One thing I know is that every moment of Cubby's life, someone cared about him. There are many cats--and people--about whom you cannot say that. His little body wasn't able to contain his spirit. It's free now and hopefully will find a stronger body next time around--hopefully he will be as loved as he was during this short life.   I knew things weren't going to go well last
