I'm not dead yet.
I am slowly venturing to the surface of my online life. Frank and I closed on our very first house Friday and moved in Saturday. Life has, understandably, been a little verklempt lately. -
LJ Idol - Playing House - Home Game; Week 20
I am shocked, saddened and disturbed that anyone of any creed would take advantage of anyone in a House of God. In recent years, we have been bombarded with news concerning molestation and the Catholic Church. So much so that allegations have almost become akin to car alarms - they pop up so often, they virtually go undetected and unrecognized ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol - Adored
The city is electric, alive and pulsating. The rat-a-tat-tat of the drums matches the sway of her hips as they slide, shimmy, shake to their beat. The beer in her hand is too low in the can to slosh out. She is the master of the seal, and today is her today ( Read more... ) -

Breaking the Fast - LJ Idol, Week 16
Each morning, I look into the mirror and observe my battle scars. I twist and turn every which way, seeing how they flex against my skin, glimmering in the light.

An actual update, not just a post for LJI.
1) I have not mentioned it here, but Frank and I are in the process of purchasing our first house. We have an option pending, and the inspection was this weekend. Thankfully, the inspection did not yield anything that would cause us to back out of the house. I will have the full details tomorrow AM. God willing and the creek don't rise, I will ( Read more... ) -
Failure to Communication - LJ Idol, Week 15
The click of the first set of handcuffs against the headboard makes me bolder. Tommy Jenkins’ bulbous body slithers beneath mine, a primal groan emanating from his throat ( Read more... ) -
The Place that Can Not Be - LJ Idol
I wish I could have died surrounded by my loved ones. I wish I wasn’t alone; I wish I wasn’t “found.” If I could have traded my death in, I would have preferred to be anything but just an after-thought ( Read more... )
