A Dream Odd Enough to Mention
In the old west three vampires travel together. Eli is the master. Katya and I are lovers who he found lifetimes ago. By sharing his wisdom he taught us to survive. We have never questioned his decisions not even when he decided we would move from the old country to the wild west. It was here in the wild west of the United States that this changed ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
My mother had serious emotional issues. She was the child of two abusive alcoholics and she couldn't reconcile her anger with her parents, so she sublimated it. She convinced herself that she was an unhappy child because they were poor. She spent her entire life looking for the one thing she could buy that would make her happy. She died never ( Read more... ) -
A Post for Edwarddian
Edwarddian has banned me from his LJ apparently in an effort to silence my response to his final post on a thread. I will include a copy of his final post and my disallowed response here in the interest of completeness.
Post of Edwarddian:
...unless you are either an idiot or being deliberately obtuse and argumentative. She, in either case, has not ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: What's the Plan?
The answer is yes. I like to be spontaneous, but the more important an event is to me the more likely i am to plan it out.

Addendum on Friendship
I have one more thing to say about friendship. Friendship is a relationship and some require regular work to keep them healthy while others come easily and at times seem effortless. Regardless of the type friendship is a gift and it is important to consider how your actions may impact it. Think about those little demands that you ( Read more... ) -
A Little Something about Me
Most of the people who read this journal know me and so this revelation will come as no surprise to them. Some of you have never met me face to face and it is to you this is addressed. When I read or write messages especially when discussing differing points of view I tend to detach emotionally from the process.
I am quite ( Read more... ) -
Friendship Is a Two Way Street
I understand that I have the capacity to detach emotionally when examining an issue. I often forget that some people lack this ability. This ability allows me to look at some past events and see the emotional subtext and its impact on the situation.
For example a player of mine was habitually late for games. He had no problem with ( Read more... ) -
Tim Kring is an Idiot
Well at least the writers for Heroes are. They have already established that infusing a corpse with the blood of a healer will bring them back to life, no harm no foul. Several of the people in the episode tonight knew this, but rather than do that they use Cartman to reprogram Sylar to become the new improved Nathan. I realize they don't want to ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: LiveJournal Book Club
The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
I've read it many times, several translations. It reminds me that little things are important, to play my own game, and to think outside the box. It also reminds me that no matter how overwhelming the opposition there is a way to turn my opponent's strength to my advantage. They are lessons that hopefully everyone learns ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Celebrating Friendships
I suppose the answer is Alex, but I don't know if he still counts. He went into passive-aggressive mode during one of his more self-destructive phases and broke contact because I disagreed with him on some minor issue. Well to be fair I think he felt threatened because I correctly read his conflicted status over the issue. He felt that he should ( Read more... )
