    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

Perfect

Have you ever listened to a song's lyric, and were able to relate to most of what the lyrics say?   I know most people base there music on themselves or something that has happened to them, so sure a lot of people would be able to relate right? I know on many occasions i've listened to a song and thought "Hey, thats just how i'm feeling."   But this one song really got to me. :wacko:       Hey dad look at me Think back and talk to me Did I grow up according to plan? And do you think

Wasted Inedible Toad Car

One of the bad things about driving around, through, and across this great big country of ours is there are places, very nice places, where cell service stinks. No bars! Or, even worse, ROAMING! Digital or analog, it doesn

My Dream last night...

Okay, I know the whole thing that everyone dreams every night, it's just that you don't always remember your dreams. But, I hate having to put that disclaimer everytime I want to say, "I dreamed last night," or "I had a dream last night," so for now on, if I say one of those two, everyone know that I know that already... Kay.   Recently, I've felt really inspired to come out to some of my close friends. And that means like almost everyone in drama. However, a few of my brother's aquaitences a

A Long Day!

So it has been a while since I have posted a blog, and a lot has been happening since then.   Yesterday I came home from a 3 day camp trip with 100 teens, ages 12-17 and it was a good trip. (If any of you are wondering it was for work and yes I was forced to go!)   Though it was funny, on the last day of camp my co workers and I decided to play a pretty mean prank on our teens, and well..... Ever heard the saying "Boy's don't cry?" it's totally true, first they scream and run around all cra

Argh!

So I had 'the talk' with the roommate. Kind of awkward.   Little bit of background info:   I just moved into what will be my apartment/dorm for the next year a month ago that I will be sharing with 3 other guys. One of them I know, but he isn't moving in until 2 weeks from now. Of the other two, only one has moved in, the other moving in in September. But yeah... he seemed nice enough, and since we both had our bedrooms to ourselves, it wasn't too bad. Then a couple days into it, he a

I haven't seen the guy I have the hugest crush on in over a month. Whenever I see my work schedule, it's always frustrating because he works the day before and after I happen to work. Grr! Today, my friend Tammy and I felt like going shopping, so we decided to go into Express. We found some really cool tops for her and went over to the guy's section to look at some graphic tees. Out of nowhere, Josh comes up and starts talking to me!   Holy eff.. lol I was so not prepared for that. We

(Harry Potter Spoilers) Ghost Stories

Oh man is this thing spoilerific. Seriously, don't read more if you haven't read the book.   I finished the seventh book yesterday. There were some things, some events in the plot that did not please me, but that was bound to happen, I suppose. The body count was impressive, and Rowling was bound to work her way someone I liked. That it was my two favorite characters in the entire series was, naturally, bad luck. Actually, I was surprised to see Colin Creevy in Hogwarts at all. I thought for s

Depressed

I wrote a long entry for today, but decided at the last minute not to post it. It wasn't interesting, you wouldn't have liked it.   I'm in Faucett (yes, with a "U" not a "W"), MO, this morning. I'm supposed to be on the road, but I haven't left, yet. I have drive across Nebraska today.   I've been very, very depressed for quite awhile. I'm taking my meds, and they seem to be doing a fanastic job of keeping my mind off of doing something stupid, but I'm still very, very depressed.   Which i

Saying Goodbye

I've been crying alot...still am actually. I knew it would hurt, but I didn't know it would hurt this much. It's my own fault actually, I think for awhile I didn't believe it was really going to happen. I guess I thought something would come up and they'd stay. But they're not staying.   About ten months ago, I was in a precarious place in my life. I was unsuccessful and miserable at the job I had been doing and had finally quit. I was hundreds of miles from any family or old friends, I'

One year ago today.

It was just one year ago today that the phone rang, a bit earlier than it is now. I was chatting with BC, the artist who draws Simon, as we were supposed to meet the following week to have lunch as I wanted to meet him in person, since he lived two hours away from home, though in a different country. I picked up the phone, and right away, I knew by my mom's voice that something was wrong.   My dad was in the clinic. He had undergone an operation to remove a tumor to his lung. He was 63, and ha

Vacation Plans

Its taken three years, but it's finally going to happen. A friend and I have been talking about taking a trip together to Cedar Point. Peter and I have been riding roller coasters together for five years now and we've both been to CP, but not together.   It's going to be a bit grueling tho. The trip will begin on a Saturday morning. We'll leave my house and drive approximately six hours to Aurora, Ohio, where we'll spend the afternoon and evening at Geaura Lake.   Sunday morning, we'll driv

Neigborhood entertainment

I thought they'd go at it again, but eventually it's quiet.   First of all, a little description is in order. I live in a small two-story house, in what used to be a textile industry neighborhood. In the 12th century, they dried out the swamps in the valley and started building a village in the shade of the cathedral; well they built the cathedral around the same time. In the 18th century the small village saw the implementation of textile plants. So it became people with the plants' workers.

Torna-atras

Edit: Wrote this a couple days ago. Forgot to publish it. Oops.   In colonial Latin America, there was a pretty extensive caste system in place based on one's skin color, and what it implied about the person's parentage. If you google it, there are some pretty specific categories, where one Black, one White, and two Native American grandparents made one a Wolf, and so on. It was also partially a breeding experiment using people and slaves. The most haunting image I saw had a little girl, with

decicing if I should be pouting...

Arguments for pouting:   At the time of this blog post, 222 of you have read my last blog, and no one commented except my Angel, and that was only cause I whined to him about how no one was commenting and how worried I was.   I *thought* that everyone here knew by now that they could say anything to me and not have to feel anything but completely comfortable about it. I mean I share huge pieces of myself all the time between my blog, and my stories, and my characters.   It's possible this

Soundtrack of my life

So this is a thread that's going on in the "Games and Humor" section of The Lounge, right now, but I had so much fun with it I thought I'd post it here too!   ***************** IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? So, here's how it works:   1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) 2. Put it on shuffle 3. Press play 4. For every question, type the song that's playing 5. When you go to a new question, press the next button 6. Don't lie and try to

Gay Club vs. Straight Club

Alright so I've finally been to both a gay and a straight club, and let me tell you that I had a hell of a lot more fun at the gay club than I did at the straight one. And not only because of the obvious, but because it was a lot more fun. For instance:   Straight Club: Some people dancing on the floor but most people just stand there and talk Gay Club: Dance floor is packed and dancing is going on all around   Straight Club: People stay in their little group of friends and dont meet a lot
