wandering around
I've had an LJ account since 2003, I think. I've just always used it now and then, though, mostly to read group stuff. I added stuff here a few months ago, but didn't know what else I might do with it. Now that Vox is gone, I like my TypePad account well enough, though of course it's not the same. I found lots of neat things to do there this ( Read more... ) -

On the order of catching up
I've had just severe writer's block for over 3 months. And haven't shared any "writing" anywhere in a couple of years. I update my blog with other forms of random blather, instead ( Read more... ) -
Meeting Simon (late 2005, excerpt from my first NaNo attempt)
I was kind of burned out on the thing, wrote this to finish it off; it's incredibly wordy and unedited, á la Nano. It was a story about a pandemic, that I'd enjoy getting back to sometime, but we've had two pandemic "scares" since then, I dunno, might be difficult to retain my own view of the idea. I'd set it in 2008 at the time...
And this is ( Read more... ) -
George and Me @ 2006
"I'll have a gimlet. I want it up, with good gin, and I want it so cold that I have to keep my tongue away from the glass so it doesn't get stuck. I want the surface crystallized, and I want you to need to use tongs to serve it to me. Think you can handle that?"
The bartender stared for a moment, then burst out laughing. "I can handle it," he ( Read more... ) -
Julian and Me (date unknown)
Okay, see, I'm not really Julian Crane's love child or anything cause, ew, that would be weird. What I am is utterly, crazy in love with him, the best man in Harmony, and he's just so hot I can't even begin to say how much ( Read more... ) -
Her Boss @ 2007
I like him because he's so much more than his flaws. The dichotomy appeals to me. If you lift the veil of physical pain and emotional pain, you see a man who is wickedly funny, talented at many areas of life, intense, probing, just, driven, and a little bit dangerous. Every girl likes a hint of danger, after all ( Read more... ) -
Stacy @ winter 2006
When you're married, you don't put yourself in those moments because you know that everything else will fall away. There's no moral line in the sand, there's no anything, just impulse and this fierce, burning energy right beneath your skin. That binding contract becomes misty fog in a background that you simply close your eyes against ( Read more... ) -
Lunch in the City @ 2006
So every day I'm sitting on the park bench, eating my sandwich, drinking my Chinò--the sandwich changes with my mood, but is usually accompanied by a tiny bottle of chinotto soda. I used to pretend to live in England but right now I pretend to live in Italy. Both are blended into my heritage, though I don't claim to be anything other than wholly ( Read more... )
