Once in a dream
Far beyond these castle walls
Down by the bay where the
Moonlit water falls
I stood alone while the minstrel sang his song
So afraid I’d lost my soul
- Castle Walls by Styx
I had a dream last night that I was flying. I’m sure most people dream of flying quite often in their lives. This was my first time. I’ve dreamt of trying to fly but ( Read more... ) -
Creative Gravity
“When you sit down to write, write. Don't do anything else except go to the bathroom, and only do that if it absolutely cannot be put off.”
- Stephen King
I want to write. It’s that simple, I want to! Most people would say that isn’t a good reason. It sounds like it’ll be followed by the infamous, and annoying, word, “Because.” I can elaborate. I ( Read more... ) -
The Nature of Creation
The quote has nothing to do with my state of mind. I just love Vincent Price’s voice. It’s creepy, reassuring, and always leaves me with an urge to watch an old horror movie.
Quick update from me before I move on to the topics I want to cover. Since I last posted I have quit my job at DFO, being an Admin assistant wasn’t for me. I found another ( Read more... ) -

"I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen-I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is ( Read more... ) -
Interview, Gaiman/Whedon, Eberron, WII.
This morning I had an interview. There were only two people who interviewed me. They were nice but I don’t think that I’ll get the job (Then again I never do…) hopefully I’ll get a call soon and the interviews will pile on in quickly.
After the interview I came home, walked in, started reading my comics and trying to get another job. I won’t lie ( Read more... ) -
Saturday night at the movies!
I did something tonight that usually scares people to death. Something that is often times considered faux-pas or taboo. Yes, I went to the movies on my own. In my defence I’ve never been a fan of stupid social norms, just a fan of the ones with an IQ above 120.
Everyone I know that I feel comfortable calling at the last minute had seen the movie ( Read more... ) -
Ode to J---
Poetry
Sticky notes, little scares of love guiding us,
Electrical tape over the TV buttons to stop me,
Swiss Chalet,
Cards,
Readers Digest,
and
Crash test dummies at Toys are Us.
You never believed that my mom hadn’t lost your key,
Tante… it was me.
I am sorry.
It was me,
I lost the key,
I took the toony,
The loony,
I was young, it was wrong, Please ( Read more... )
