the F word

As I'm a well known asshole under lots of stress, I've been known to use the F-word from time to time. I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane, While people behind me are going insane. I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole) I use public toilets and piss on the seat, I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?" I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)

Sometimes you just wish ...

Okay. I live with a man who is passive aggressive in his attacks. But then again he also likes to attack when no one else is around to hear him. Agh. Sometimes you just wish, I can fill in that blank so many ways right now.   Alright it takes me a while to reach my boiling point. I am not the kind to just attack. However you push me up against the wall and you might find you don't like the mild manner man you had been dealing with.   Okay so my father has been having problems with the phone

It's a beautiful day :D

So no blog for months and months and months - and then 3 come along at once.   So last week I had a job interview. Actually, it was a SECOND interview. You might recall that I had a few issues in my job, and actually over the last 6 months have gone from being Head of Department to being an (albeit highly paid) consultant-manager. Wheres before I had anywhere between 20 and 45 staff dependent on requirements, now I have just myself and my assistant.   So, i have been thinking for a while

The Power of Words

The electronic age can be both a blessing and a curse. Most communication between individuals use to be done face to face, or at the very least by phone. Today people still keep in touch but now it is by text and chat. These can be great or absolutely horrendous.   Take those sacred three little words - I LOVE YOU. They can be said with passion, with sarcasm, and have multiple meanings depending on how said and the body language. However, reading just the words alone and you are left to wonder

Family and work

To give a little back ground first... I am the middle 5 children, ranging in age from 32 - 21. I have an older brother and sister and 2 younger sister's. My family is a single income, as something has always kept my mom from working (that would be my older brother showing up at her job or constantly calling her). That being said in my house there are a total of 8 people my niece included and she's 2.   I work 40 hours week, commute 2 hours round trip to work with out traffic and its a 56 mile

London 2011, and 365 Days

Most of you will know that there was a GA meet in London this weekend. For those of you who followed the evolution of the idea to meet, originally, it was emulated who suggested that it would be great to get all the UK members together. so the first things is; UK people were in the minority. In fact, we had a pretty diverse coverage (forgive me if I miss anything):   England Czech Republic France Australia Finland Netherlands And most exotic of all.... Deepest darkest Wales! It w

Hurricane Irene and Job Stupidity

Hurricane Irene did what few storms do to the East Coast. She came along and caused havoc. It wasn't that she was too strong a storm, or too rainy, or too windy. She decided, like many powerful women before, that she would blaze her own trail and forget the path that was laid out for her.   Irene was suppose to come up the coast and either make a glancing blow off of Florida or the Carolinas before smacking the end of Long Island on her way up to Boston. Well being a real child of Mother Natur

Shiny... :P 5th Entry

Hello guys   Well, its been a tough couple of weeks with writing.   I was having some SERIOUS issues with getting the words out and onto the page.   However, I met a certain author called Nephylim on Saturday and that was when I realised i was lacking a certain amount of passion when I write.   Plus my angle of approach was all wrong. I dont need to do Lugh's method later, I need to do it now.   I just churned out 700 words of a scene in half hour using Lugh's method and Nephy's idea

Scottish Fairs, Hurricanes, and other issues

Well I couldn't sleep last night if my life depended on it. Been so long since I have had any sort of natural disaster to deal with I just wasn't sure what I should be doing. No, that isn't right, I wasn't sure what my father would allow us to do.   So the yard flags are in, the yard sculptures are in, and everything is pretty much ready. Then again that was all done yesterday. If you have been reading my blogs (God help you if you have) then you know I was suppose to go the Scottish Fair toda

Train Twink and Friends with Benefits

How’s it going?   What, not a good enough opening for you? I concur.   Howdy!   What, too hickish? Okay.   What’s up peeps?   What, too street for you? Check.   Where’s all my bitches at?   I could go on but what’s the point. f**k it.   So the other day I picked up a little train twink from the train. Well, to be more accurate, I got picked up by a little twink boy the other day on the train.   My life has been running smooth on all cylinders for the last few weeks. Now t

Still seeking approval but I don't know why

I grow older all the time. With age is suppose to come wisdom, but I guess sometimes I can't get out of my own way. In some respects i will all always be the child looking for acceptance from my parent.   I have lived my own life for a long a time. I've had relationships, apartments, and moved to another state mainly to get away from my father. My life was thrown into a tailspin when my mother died. It was painful to return home to deal with all the things that happen when you lose a parent. I

Pets, cooking, and other thoughts of the day

I feel sorry for those of you who read these blogs, because you never have any idea where they are going to go. Truth be told, I never know what I am going to write about till half way into them.   I got to talking to Mark the other night and mentioned that my father has a corgi who seems to be under the impression she owns me. All my life I have been around dogs. From the time I was a little kid there were poodles, beagles, dobermans, boxers, miniature pinschers, and now a welch corgi. That

So I'm 23. And emotionally edgy. And other stuffs / updates.

I was debating whether I should write this blog, but then I thought I'm not here as often anymore, so I guess a blog might be good. <--Whatever, that doesn't make sense. Talk about randomness.   Talking about updates, so I'm here now in Sydney, Australia. Meh.   But then one of the good sides is that now I can do Youtube! One of the videos I've been watching religiously daily is Joel Burns' "It Gets Better" , supposedly one of the best It Gets Better video of all time. I know the video

Waiting for a writing partner

Okay not many of us can write in a bubble. Most of us need someone to bounce ideas off of, check our stories over, and keep things going. If you are smart you create a little team of people you can rely on.   However even the best laid plans occasionally go haywire. Take my own writing for example. My main story has been trudging along. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower but always going forward. One of the main reasons for that are my beta and editor. My major problem is my beta is on vacatio

FleetingRainbows' "A Single Promise"

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/fleetingrainbows/asinglepromise   I just finished reading "A Single Promise" yesterday. It look longer than usual to read this story, since work's been crazy busy I haven't had the time to dedicate to reading much.   So I wanted to start off by saying that the dialog in the story was beautifully written. The emotions tied into the conversational dialog between characters were vivid enough that I could picture actors and actresses to be able to pick it up a

Friends keep one going.

I've been personally having an off time in my life. Just one where you feel like, well somehow you are just not making a difference in your day to day life and don't know how to change that.   Then you get that note or call from a friend that reminds you that you are able to touch people and make things a little brighter for them. Or more importantly they can come into your life and put a smile on your face.   That is what happened to me today. Was just a horrible day all around and I wanted

Singing Against the Noise

Hush little baby, don’t say a word Momma’s gonna buy you a mockingbird   It was my niece’s favorite nursery rhyme. Always calmed her down, usually put her to sleep. Even when I sang it, which, I will admit, is no experience for the discriminating. Her tastes have complicated since, but what can you expect out of a three-year-old? I was fourteen myself, singing loudly if inexpertly. I had to be loud to drown out the pounding of my sister, who was at that moment trying to break down the locked

Democracy at work

I haven't written a blog in a while - if i'm being honest i have been trying to "withdraw" from the GA community slightly more over the last few months for various reasons. However, I though this was important enough to break my silence, and so I want to take the time up front to thank anyone who takes the time to read the below.   A few weeks ago, the united kingdom government launched an "e-petition" site, where basically you can submit a title of a petition, and once it receives over 100,0

Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I had the oldies station on and that old song come on. I didn't know whether to laugh, sing along, or cry. Just been that sort of day today.   I guess overall I can't complain. I am meeting my bills, have a job, and have time to do what I enjoy but I miss not being able to share that with someone daily. I guess that is why I strive to have close friends. As long as you know you aren't totally alone things aren't too bad.   Anyway I also got to thinking about what it might be like to be a gh

I can not stop being angry

The world news are bad. European governments are unable to control the financial crisis. American politicians are fighting to death for power. Africans are unable to overcome the famine in Somalia and Kenya. Everyone is fighting to retain privileges accumulated over the past decades instead of trying to solve problems together.   Here in Europe, everyone expects a major economic crisis, but the leaders of the European Union are unable to agree on a quick fix , each preferring to defend a sel

Busy

Just was one of those days when you never feel like you have enough time for everything you are trying to get done. Just seemed to rush from one project to the next all day long. My day started at 8 am and four hours of sleep.   I got up raced to the shower and tried desperately to wake up. One of those times you wish you would either wake up or drown. Well i sure as hell didn't drown. Then I was off to Weight Watcher for the Summer Party. I know it sounds odd. Here were sixty plus people toge

Not a bother anymore

Well, I made it back from a short stay in oblivion. In many ways, it was the waiting that hurt the most. Bureaucratic time runs too slow, especially if you’re caught in the eddies.   Basically, my bank did not send out a replacement debit card for my expiring card. After giving it a good wait, just in case some wayward demon had nothing better to do than mess with someone’s life, I called and the rep said, “Yes, I’d waited long enough and he’d send out a new card and, by the way your card has

Losing Parts of the Past

Today started out such a good day. I had been good getting things done. I had done dishes, cleaned the bathroom and was ready to take my father shopping all before 10am. We did the stores my father wanted. We started at Entermann's Outlet where my father bought bread. I was proud of myself because I never once looked at the cakes and stuff. Then we went over to Sam's Club. There my father picked up essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and other things for the house. Me, I bought my fruits
