We've been at sea for nearly three months, the wind has been dead for the past week, and the whole crew is going a bit mad with cabin fever. This trip had been nothing but one problem after another, and I am at my wits end on how to deal with the latest. If I could just get a bit of rest, if the crew would just shut up for an hour, I could maybe ( Read more... )

Marie (Sock_Monkey) is sick and tired of hearing about the hurricane. She knows of your losses, you can stop telling her. She is sympathetic and very sad for you, but she doesn't want to hear it anymore.

Is anyone interested in a comeback?

Liz (matel) spent a few years living in the Netherlands. When she first moved there, she couldn't speak a word of Dutch. She didn't have many problems, because a great deal of people there are multi-lingual. She met a boy there, thought he was the cutest thing she'd ever seen. His name was Olaf, and he spoke English fluently. They spent a great ( Read more... )

Rachel (chelbrite) used to run with some pretty strange people. Strange, trashy people. She had a friend named Loretta, who insisted that everyone call her Tetta. They were close in a weird kind of way. Rachel never really liked her all that much, and Tetta didn't particularly care for Rachel, but they spent most of their free time together. ( Read more... )

**this didn't come out quite how I was thinking, but who cares. It's a fucking story.**

For years, Seth (lamb_slaughter) has raised rabbits to make a little money here and there. He started out with two rabbits, a boy he called Unearth and a girl he called Norma Jean. They were lop eared rabbits, Unearth was a dark chocolate brown, and Norma Jean was an ( Read more... )

Tristan’s (i_rule_ok) family used to be farmers, long before he ever came along. His mother can hardly remember those days, but has kept some ties to the rural community in which she used to live. She has a best friend from when she was very young that she’s kept in touch with. Some years, they just exchange Christmas cards, but there are usually a few ( Read more... )

I've had a few comments from people who are interested, but didn't give me their names. I will not write stories with just lj names, that's dumb. I'm not going to spend ages searching your lj to find your real name either. So come on, this isn't difficult.

Last summer, Fruity (ccds_assasin) went squirrel hunting with his dad. There wasn't anything remarkable about this, they hunt all the time. Don't usually go after squirrels, but everyone needs a change of pace sometimes. They were out there in the woods, and the squirrels were thick that day. Fruity had bagged four of them before lunchtime, and his dad ( Read more... )

I met Liarns (carbootsale) in prison. We were both there for rather insignificant things, but we'd each done a few too many insignificant things and were each serving a couple of years this time around. She wasn't one to take it though, being in prison is rough on a girl like her. So she came up with what I thought, at first, was a rediculous sceme to get ( Read more... )
