    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

Hawaii and I'm NOT anorexic

So I've been in Hawaii for the past few weeks hanging out with my old friend (Joey) and attempting to surf. Everyone has been laughing at me for the past two weeks in my attempts, but I haven't yet been discouraged. Joey has grown into a very . . . uhh . . . tempting guy with all the surfing; however, with the population of friends I haven't slept with declining I feel it is necessary to keep our friendship to borderline flirting only.   And I don't get hungry. Really. I feel hungry like twic

"Where are the condoms?"

So I had a bit of time today between appointments and I remembered that I was running low on toothpaste and deodorant. So I figured I'd pop into the nearest drugstore - a Walgreens - and pick some up. Well I had no trouble finding the toothpaste I was after (Crest Vivid White in the "invigorating mint" flavour ). The deodorant on the other hand proved to be much more difficult! I'd literally walked down every aisle and STILL hadn't found it. The very last aisle that I checked, the aisle wh

Randomness

So Hello i am Lost Cause or you could just call me LC, either or works. I decided to start up a blog and get into bloging, it's a way for me to share things with you wonderful people out there, and also to kind of get things thats been bothering me off my chest without hurting anyone's feelings. (As much fun as it is, i have to play nice too!!)   So about a week ago, i started to feel depressed :wacko: like i have off and on these days, and while in my *depressed Mood* I began to listen to th

Happy Birthday...

Angel!!   Or Dezlboi for the rest of you...   Anyway...   A happy birthday to one of the most amazing guys I know and love. Here's wishing you a VERY happy birthday and a year of fantastic smiles and great things, cause you deserve every one. I don't know how long we've been palling around together, but I do know, that I'd hate to have to go through life without my angel so... YAY that I don't, right?! That, and I'm glad we have each other to lean on and learn from...   Love ya lots!

6th floor in the parking structure

That's right, I'm blogging from the car boys and girls. Top floor of the Disneyland parking structure. We've been sitting here 18 minutes already and haven't moved an inch closer to home. Ugh! At least I have my Jamba Juice, some Good Charlotte to listen to, and my trusty cell phone.   So I finished my anthology submission last night. Underneath This Big Ol' Sky - Part 2 for all of you who read part 1 and are waiting to find out what happens next with the folks on Kingsman Bluff. Now's your c

My Luck's Back(?)

So today completely rocked! My luck almost seems to have shifted back to the rediculously positive position that it formerly inhabited.   Most recently life hasn't been treating me too gently. Don't get me wrong I've still overall been quite happy, and really if anything in many ways my life's been steadily getting even more pleasant. However, for the last six weeks or so it's literally seemed like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. I know a lot of people don't really believe

Blah!

Life has been somewhat crappy lately, but I won't bore anyone with the details. [Rant] All I really created this blog for was to bitch that Good Charlotte finally comes back to the US to do a tour, and they go and f**K everyone over! First they join up with Justing Timberlake and agree to open for his tour. I don't have anything against JT, but come on! They're not even in the same genre! But fine, whatever. And THEN they go and screw everyone in central US (read: ME) over and skip over all of

Virginia

I'm in Virgina, at a truck stop across the road from Kings Dominion? Supposed to be a theme park of some sort. All I know is that yesterday's drive down from Allentown, PA, took six and a half hours when it shouldn't have taken much more than four. Too many people for not enough road.   Well, it's my own fault, really. I could've driven down the night before, but I'd had enough of night driving and wasn't in the mood for any more. Besides, I ran into something in Allentown.   The reefer on t

"Kiss men if you want to"

**Warning spoilers for the move "Evening" ahead.     So there's so many thing I'd like to write about that have happened to me since my last entry. Unfortunately as is often the case I feel less inclined to write about actual narrative events and more eager to write about feelings, situations, and philosophical ponderings.   I went to see the movie Evening tonight. It was AWESOME! Just the kind of movie a like - a nice, long, weapy chick flick   Anyway basically the movie is about thi

Pennsylvania

What is it about Pennsylvania that makes it so desirable to me?   The closest I can come to knowing someone from Pennsylvania is my maternal great-grandmother who was born and raised in Venango County around the Franklin area. Supposedly, there are still a few Brandons in that area who would be distantly related.   Yet, I have this strange need to be somewhere in the state. It seems to be in my bones. I

Flatline

I delivered the salad makings this morning at the Wal-Mart D/C in Tomah, Wisconsin, and then scurried down to a wonderful truck stop in Mauston where I nodded off for a few hours hoping to catch up on the sleep I didn

teaching the youth of america...

Today's valuable lesson?   'Sack up, man!' means... grow some balls!   So, I FINALLY... started on my anthology entry AND heard the great news that Graeme is going to be reviewing them! That's fabulously exciting! Anyway, I hope I manage to get it done on time, I'm REALLY trying, and I'm off all day on Friday, not that I can concentrate much with the kids home on summer break, but we'll see. Also, I'm supposed to add a disclaimer to the story: Any sheep resembling vampiric Egyptian lege

Rest In Peace Chris Benoit

1967-2007   This may not mean anything to the members here at GA, but since this is my blog, I'm posting this here. My favorite wrestler, The Canadian Crippler Chris Benoit was found dead in his home with his wife and son today. If you're a WWE fan, watch Raw tonight for a tribute show dedicated to Chris and his career.

Here goes nothing

Well I sent in my anthology entry, which is actually a pretty amazing feat considering that an hour before I sent it in, I didn't even know if I was going to be writing anything. I had no idea for a plot, for characters or how the story would even end. Hell, i didn't even send it to my editor. I just took a chance and let my fingers do what they wanted, then I read it back a few times before I mailed it off to CJ. Hopefully it's good enough to be included this year. In other news, I've sent the

Saturday afternoon

I'm $10 richer today ... I'm a big Detroit Tigers fan, and my boss is a big Atlanta Braves fan. Anyway, Detroit starting pitcher Kenny Rogers was on the DL all year so far, and made his comeback start last night against Atlanta. My boss and I had $10 riding on the game, and Kenny Rogers totally SMOKED the Braves last night. WOO-HOO! Even though I grew up in Maryland, I spent the first six years of my life in Detroit, and have loved the Tigers since I knew what baseball was. My dad always trie

I have a sunburn!

And... big shock, it sorta hurts. It was worth it though. My daughter graduated from sixth grade today looking SO grown up and beautiful in 'the dress'. She actually cried more than I did So there were 2 and a half graduating classes today (one was a combination class, so only half of them were sixth graders). They saved all their acheivment awards for the graduation ceremony so that the parents could see their kids receive them. My daughter... got them all! She earned the Gold award for aca
