Pretty girls and fancy cars...
So, like most people, I have a problem with self-image and self-esteem. Especially when it comes to looks and weight. I have barbaric eyelids that lack any sort of arch and invade my eyelids unless I brace myself for a torture session with some tweezers or wax. My hair can't decide if it wants to be straight or wavy or curly. My pores are ( Read more... ) -
Thought dribbles on my lunch break...
Dear God,
I've been looking for You for years, now. Curiously, I feel farther now than I did when I sat in the pews of a church anxiously waiting for the next song to sing--and You felt miles away, then. I have looked for You in the Bible, in the Koran (well, and English translation of it), the Tanach(sp?), the Reede. I have looked for You in ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: On Your Tombstone

Very sweet, very nice, and the silly thing has better get-up-and-go (and a better ride, I think) than the shiny 2007 Camry that Enterprise gave me to run around in. And the best part? Is MINE! It's not a ( Read more... ) -
Ffffffffuuuuuuck....

Update time!
Yup, I'm cheating...I'm-a cross-posting again!
So, update on me, the car, and whatnot:
* I had an MRI last week, and according to that, no herniated discs. (Yay!)
* I had a Nerve Conduction Study (totally weird sensations!) today, and according to the doctor who did that, no nerve damage. (Yay!)
* The Dr noticed I was rather perplexed, ( Read more... ) -
Is it plagirism if I steal from myself?
Just thought I'd post an update for anyone who's wondering. I figure this way, too, I can cover all of my bases and not have to worry about making a bunch of phone calls. (Well, by posting here and cross-posting to MySpace...)
Anyway, just so everyone's aware, I got in an accident on Tuesday the third. I'm fine, for the most part, but my ( Read more... ) -
What I want for Christmahanukwanziyulika...
I've figured it out. I don't need or want anything else, unless someone's offering to pay for my trip to Disneyland ( Read more... ) -
My uncle rocks...
For he has introduces me to Captain Dan and the wonderful world of Pirate Rap... -
No one ever said my family was normal...
Just because I think it's worth a chuckle, and it's occasionally fun to traumatize my friends...
I enjoy writing. My Muse is starting to wake up, also, and pull some stories out of hibernation, and I feel the build-up to some short stories coming up. Two places that I have made it clear that I would love to be published in are: The New Yorker ( ( Read more... )
