Storytime!

Well, in the description, I promised stories, so here's the first part of a long, long "short" story I don't dare place here all in one chunk! It's one of my favorites, though. Oh, by the way, I'm moving! This Blog is categorized as "About Writing", but it isn't always, is it? So in a few days, I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Death warmed over

Earlier on in my Blog, I'd written a story about a sin-eater. What I'd neglected to say beforehand was that the sin-eaters really did exist. It's quite fascinating. I'd seen the movie "The Sineater" with Heath Ledger and was taken by the questions it posed, although I wasn't aware of its historical... Sign in to see full entry.

'Member me?

Oh argh! The mortal agony of not being able to add an entry for several days! I swear I'm starting to go through withdrawal symptoms! Fidgety fingers... that thin layer of perspiration on the upper lip.... the maniacal giggles escaping through one's lips during deep sleep... I'm sure y'all recognize... Sign in to see full entry.

What? You here, too? What a coincidence!

Coincidence: Fact or fiction? I have been slowly taught, through various literature, that coincidence does not exist. That it is a convenient term used for a phenomena we cannot logically categorize. The Matrix, What the Bleep Do We Know, Celestine Prophecy... They all explain that there is a reason... Sign in to see full entry.

The Original Nightmare

I had the weirdest dream last week! It was more of a setting than a storyline. Warning: some details may seem impossible, disjointed, or downright outrageous. Come on, it was a dream! After the destruction of Earth, the human survivors were split up and plunked down on two sister planets. The first... Sign in to see full entry.

La la la laaaaaaaa...squawk!

Well, you've got to have tried (almost) everything at least once! My husband drums in a band, and they play their own music. I thought I'd give it a (looooong) shot and try writing some song lyrics as well. After a few attempts, I respectfully tip my hat off to all musicians! Giving an idea musical...

Blank

How mysterious! As my earnings have dramatically risen to a staggering 72 cents (now I can almost buy those toenail clippers I've been saving for), my popularity rating has plummeted! Oh, the pain! Oh, the agony of digital loneliness! Once again, Blogit has managed to prove that you can't buy love!... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleep. I wznt it.

I have been tired, tired, tired. Even as I type, I can hear my fingers snore (if I leave out any letters, you know why). Once, they flew over the keyboard with joyous abandon; now they're sleepwalking. Lucky bastards. I wish I could fall asleep while some big, giant brain did all the work for me!...

Batman in My Belfry

I’ve always loved fairy tales and have long lamented their fall from modern grace. But then, while enjoying the sounds of stormy winds outside my window, a thought occured to me (that would be bat number 546 in my belfry). Have fairy tales really lost their place in society (Disney don’t count,... Sign in to see full entry.
