    Upcoming Events Reminder

    By Valkyrie

    First, I'd like to wish all our American members a very Happy Thanksgiving!  I will be spending the day at my aunt's, stuffing my face with turkey and all the sides   I'd be perfectly happy with a plate full of stuffing and gravy, though.  🤤 I am thankful for everyone who makes this site as awesome as it is!  I'm also thankful for everyone who participates in site events, such as the anthologies and other contests run throughout the year.     Speaking of site events, we have two

Ikaria Here I Come

whoo hoo!!!   I just got off the phone with my grandpa and he told me that he wanted to do something special for me this summer since it's going to be my last summer vacation in high school. I halfway jokingly mentioned that I wanted to go to Greece and visit the island of Ikaria (that's where our family's from) and he was all, "Okay!" So I talked to my dad and he said it was okay, so it looks like I'll be Greece bound this summer. :icon1:   The only thing that I need to worry about now is

spicy fingers, update on sucking the big one, butterscotch

Happy last day of 2007 everyone! Kay that's done...   So I just finished making home made salsa and it's SOOOOOO yummy, but now, as I'm eating it, I keep licking my fingers and they're spicy! I washed my hands three times since I made it... freakin' peppers...   So update on my 12 year-old... she managed to talk me into grounding her for a second week by being over at that same kid's house again, with those same boys, while she was grounded, and then lying about it. This is how it went

Did it!

I know this is worth about as much as the paper it's not printed on, but I just finished reading every story in the Winter Anthology.   Yeah, yeah, I know, so what?   Well, I also went to each and every forum and entered a comment about what I liked about the story. I, also, sent a PM to one of the authors with some personal comments that I felt were inappropriate for the forum. (No, it wasn't something nasty. I liked the story and felt the writer could've done a better job. So, I made a few

Not sleeping

It's midnight and I'm not sleeping. I'm not sleepy, either. I am cold, though.   I was driving south on I-5 and needed to pee, but there wasn't any parking at the rest area. So, I drove to the Love's truck stop south of Roseburg. When I came out I noticed the air hoses under the trailer were not hanging by the spring. The service line had been worn through. Of course, if it had been the other line, I'd have been up the highway with locked brakes, not a pretty scenario.   Needless to say, I w

Blah

Maybe it's a side effect of heavy THC exposure, or maybe my bf Taylor is just a moron, but just when I think he can't say anything stupider than he already has, he proves me wrong. Here's what happened.....   We have a friend Suzie who got pregnant last year and had a baby over the summer. We didn't really like the guy that got her pregnant, but nobody ever said anything bad about him to her. I think he was kinda controlling, but no one else seemed to pick up on that. For the most part, we jus

Happy Endings

I was chatting on MSN the other night and the subject of Happy Endings came up. It seems there is a trend against them. People tire of reading them, convinced that they don't exist.   Call me an idealist, but isn't that the point of a happy ending? Is it not an escape from the reality we know and see everyday? Truthfully, how many of us have personal knowledge of a sustained Happy Ending? Who is to say Cinderella and Prince charming fell into a loveless distant relationship after the whirlwind

Grope me, please.

Apparently that's the vibe I was giving off last night. I went to Club tigerheat for the first time yesterday with two of my girlfriends. We got there around 11, and had to wait in line for an hour to get in, but it was actually a lot of fun! It's only the second club I've ever been to (Rage being the first), and I have to say I really liked it. The go-go boys were really cute, and the music was fun to dance to, give or take a couple of songs.   It was fun, that is, minus the groping. I

Modesto of my dreams

I'm on the road, again. Wednesday, I picked up a trailer full of Coke and took it to Redding and Marysville, CA. Then it was down to Modesto to pick up what I'm carrying now. Hopefully, I'll drop the trailer in Portland tonight and pickup another trailer headed south. I need to maximize my on-road time for the next few weeks. It was nice being off over Christmas; well, it was mostly nice being off over Christmas.   The wife is sick. She has a cold.   "My nose burns!"   "You have a cold."

Killing me softly

I picked up today Lois McMaster Bujold's Paladin of Souls. Bujold is a favorite author of mine, so by page two I was grinning, enthralled with her words. I've been reading rapturous, for the last hour, but it just now hit me why I like this story so much.   I wanted to write it.   Well, not exactly this story, the details aren't all there, but a story I developed three years ago opens along the same premise as this. One woman, nominally mistress of her domain, feeling more like she's been cl

B-rated dreams

What does it mean when you dream about home, but the home you dream about is a house you haven't lived in for ten years?   In keeping with earlier crack-headed dreams; I had a dream last night. It was odd in the way anyone blowing their head off is odd. I was at home and there was this strange guy there. Mid 50's stocky and bald, I don't know this person. I don't know why he was in my head last night. I surely don't know why my head decided it was prudent for him to remove his.   I think he

Bummer!

The mouse pad gave out. Nothing lasts forever. We live in an era of programmed obsolescence. Use a mouse pad on a laptop too much and it stops working. Not the pad, the switches. Switch the switches, but they still wear out.   So, I bought a replacement mouse. Its lifespan was a couple years and then it gave up the ghost and died. Not, the mouse, the cord.   Plus, the USB plug-ins on the laptop are right next to the power connection. They interfere and the monitor flashes every time the lapt

Goal Setting:::: 2008

Lately I've been thinking a lot about what I want to accomplish as a writer in the year 2008, and I'm pretty sure I have it all figured out. In no particular order, here are my priorities: Re-write Bodega Bay and remove all of the graphic sex scenes Write a second volume of Time In A Bottle, from a different point of view Clean up all of my stories as far as spelling, grammer and pucuation goes Release a new series of short stories with one central theme Finish my work on If

Doing it!

Okay, I've said this before, so if you're not interested or if you're put off by my incessant whining, you're excused from reading further.   I considered commiting the ultimate sacrifice tonight.   No, I did not consider offing myself.   Get that out of your heads right now.   I'm too F**KIN' chicken to do myself in. I can't stand the thought of experiencing a nanosecond of terminal pain.   No, I considered going away for awhile.   You see, the thing is, there might be enough money

Been a bit

Life accelerates past the point where I can handle it.   I've been talking online a lot to a fellow Gayauthorite (hey Mike), so I assume some of the creative bleed off that this blog functions as has been satisfied in that manner. Really, I write here because I need to write, constantly, and this gives me an excuse to do so without such considerations as characterizations and plot continuity.   I work a second job now, minimum wage, but at least it gets me out of the apartment and into the w

Back to the Shrink!

So the latest self analysis bout has begun. I've been thinking seriously about going back to see a shrink. Not for depression, oh no. I'm pretty happy these days. However...   Maybe I actually am anorexic. I don't really think I am. Yeah, sure, I'm kind of obsessive about my weight. However, given the fact that I am overweight, and have always been overweight since late childhood, I think I have a solid right to be obsessive about my weight. If I were underweight and believed I still n

Shut your effin mouth already

Shawn is bad.   Who is Shawn? Hell if I know, but what I do know is I don't like Shawn very much; he nor his cohorts. He is just one of the millions of people world wide that think just because they have an opinion they should share it.   First of all Shawn, Shut the F@#$ up!   I get it, you think it's a sin; great the majority of the world agrees with you. Yet, who benefits from your assertions that it is a sin? You? Surely not you're straight so it shouldn't matter. The people that would

Regret for the past and fear of the future

Michelle said she was going to blog about me being an idiot last night, so I figured I'd go ahead and agree with everything she says now.   We went to the club last night after I left work extremely pissed off, and it was a lot of fun. School is mostly out and people were in town so it was pretty packed and we all had a good time. Except for the CJ part... but I didn't end up talking to him. Of course, that didn't stop Michelle from running up to him and hugging him though. Her excuse was, "We

My psychiatrist hates me, movie quotes, sex and the countdown

Yes he does. He told me so. -----Well, he didnt really TELL me per say, but he wrote it down in his notes. How do you know you ask? Because I HAVE his notes. How you ask? Because I stole them! (Long story short, I took them and photocopied them. That was actually pretty short. Nevermind.) Ok he didnt say he hates me exactly he just said I'm one f**ked up nutbag and I should kill myself just to spare everyone the pain and misery of having to deal with me. -----Well, okay, he didnt really say

December 12, 2007

This day turned out to be an interesting day. It was the day of our annual Employee Christmas Luncheon. It's the one day of the year where the Department Head's help prepare and serve a meal to all three shifts.   The fun part had already started hours before I showed up at 10:00 a.m. When I got there, there was police and sheriff's car's at the two entrances to the facility. It seems one of the local newspapers had received a call from someone stating that who worked at the facility and drov

Good Samaratin Award

So I feel good. Michelle and I were on our way to Wal Mart when we saw an SUV stuck on the side of the road in the mud and felt bad. So I turned around and went back to see if he needed help getting out. Turns out he and his wife were both cops and she had a little too much to drink at their Christmas Party and wanted him to pull over and ended up getting stuck.   So I get out in the mud and hook up some ties that I have to both trucks and start pulling him out. I get him about half way out w
