Christy's couch

Sorry for the bad pun gang, just couldn't think of a better title. Actually, I have question for any of my fellow bloggers who may also happen to be tea drinkers. Quite a while ago, Roommie bought me to boxes of the LIPTON tea bags, raspberry and lemon. I drink lemon tea when my throat is sore... Sign in to see full entry.

LOL...Nope, I'm not referring to the old BANGLES song. Though I do have it stuck in my head at the moment. This is just another case to prove to my loyal readers once and for all that I truly am daft as a tin full of biscuits! The other day when my friend K emailed me, she asked whether I'd done any...

Good morning, gang... It's a wet, soggy Monday here. The perfect excuse to get started on that writing competiton. And...I now know exactly what I want to write about. It was a story I'd started working on some time ago, but lost during one of my computer's crashes. Since October is national breast... Sign in to see full entry.

As most of you know by now, I'm a huge cartoon freak. I don't like all cartoons, especially the ones that are television today. But ironically, most of the cartoons I do enjoy were aired way before I was even born! Two of my favourites were ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS and FAT ALBERT. I loved watching...

Yes, gang, I know I've had quite a few short posts today...none of which has really had anything to do with the other. Such is the state of my mind today. Anyway, I'm sitting here with the curiosity absolutely killing me! What's your least favourite food or foods? For me, my absolutely number one... Sign in to see full entry.

I will continue with Nikolai's story gang...but probably not until Friday or Saturday. I want to get started writing something for that upcoming writer's compitition in December, so I'll have to put Nikolai off for a while until the weekends. Also, my next assignment will probably be due soon, so... Sign in to see full entry.

DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN, HOW I HATE TO BE COLD!!!!! I don't usually drink two cups of coffee in a row, but today will be an exception. It'll be decaf, of course, since I can't tolerate any caffine after a certain hour of day. Hey, it's still coffee, ain't it???? This second cup will help me polish off my...

Okay people, I am officially ticked off at all this stupid, whacked-out weather we're having!!!! Yesterday and the day before it was so bloody hot you could have fried an egg on my forehead. Now, we're back to pneumonia causing weather! I've been sneezing all freaking day so far! My sinuses are... Sign in to see full entry.

Our Sunday morning started off on a bleak note. The weather is playing me up again, but that's far from the worst of it. As we were having our breakfast, Roommie and I heard a bird twittering just outside the window. Roommie buys stale bread to feed the gulls and other birds who frequent the parking...

MOURNING DOVE PROLOGUE He lies in the bed, restless. Sleeping, but moving back and forth, back and forth. Trying to break the chains which bind him to his always unseen captor. The darkness in the bedroom only serves to heighten his terror. The dream has come again. From the first night he was... Sign in to see full entry.

I saw Nikolai again the night before last. I haven't seen him for months now, which is one of the reasons I haven't started re-writing his story. This vision was particularly beautiful. He was sitting in the park while snow was falling all around him. And...He was playing his violin. Sign in to see full entry.

It's hot here today! All this on again-off again weather is making me nuts! Yesterday, we nearly froze our assets off, now we feel like game hens in a roasting pan! Arrrggghhh! Mum's coming for coffee in about half an hour. I wonder if she's spoken to Grammy since we saw her last Saturday? Lisa,... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't feel like doing anything right now or even talking to anyone. Seems like every time I open my mouth to try and make someone feel better, I end up making them feel worse and sticking my foot in my mouth. Today has not been a nice for me. I got someone that I actually should have heard from... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm writing this post for Offy, who after reading my post yesterday on entering the WRITER'S DIGEST competition for December, thought I should submit Nikolai's story. While I appreciate the suggestion, I mean to submit that for my first novel course, since I intended it to be a novel anyway.... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, I have definitely had ENOUGH of all this weird Maine weather! We're currently in the middle of another odd cold snap, but by Friday morning it's supposed to be 80 plus degrees again! So, this is why I've not managed to get going on Nikolai's story again. Nor any other writing for that matter.... Sign in to see full entry.

I just went to writersdigest.com to see about the deadline for their next short story competition. It's 3 December. I've been wanting to enter it again for a really long time, but truth be told, I just haven't felt like anything I've been trying to write is worth anything. Not that some of it isn't...

Only problem is, I don't know whether I should grieve or just try to be more patient. No, this isn't an extension of the post I just wrote about my ex-boyfriend...It's about a friend. I don't mean to be so impatient, I just feel like maybe I've done something awful. I've lost so many friends because... Sign in to see full entry.

I blocked a "friend" of mine from seeing me while I'm online and I've removed him from my messenger list as well. The reason may seem stupid and unkind to some of you, but so be it. He's my long time now ex-boyfriend, and frankly, I don't know why I ever bothered to date him in the first place. From... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't stand it anymore. The night before last, I had another dream about you know who. I dreamed that he'd sent me a letter, and could actually feel my hand clamping around it as if I were holding on to it for dear life. When I woke up of course, there was no letter...leaving me empty again. Damn... Sign in to see full entry.

Today while we were out, I bought a PINK PANTHER DVD cartoon collection at the music store. By the way, RUMORED, I also bought season 3 of WILL AND GRACE for my mum and the RUG RATS movie for my Roommie's nephew. I loved that cartoon when I was a kid. My favourite part of the show was the cartoon... Sign in to see full entry.
