This is the story for my advanced fiction class, draft 1.  I'm trying to get some feed back before it get work shopped in class the first week of June.  I know it's long for l/j but if you have some time any comments would be awesome.

The Point of Conception

Halloween this year will be interesting. I decided on my costume last night. I actually ( Read more... )

I held a jewel in my fingers
And went to sleep 
The day was warm, and winds were prosy
I said, "Twill keep"

I woke - and chide my honest fingers,
The Gem was gone
And now, an Amethyst remembrance
Is all I own

Actually none of Emily Dickinson's poems were titled some were numbered and none were set up in lines like the one above since she was nearly blind ( Read more... )

Everything is coming together for me with school.  I graduate in 7 months and if I can really keep it together between now and then I might graduate with honors.  It really will depend on my last few classes.  I'm graduating with a double major in Sociology and English.  I'm getting an internship in the fall hopefully with the prosecutors office in ( Read more... )

So when things happen I try to handle them maturely.  Like if I have a problem with something someone said, I would call them rather than blog about it generally.  But this is just annoying now.  It the internet and I'm sorry some people need to cry desperately for attensio through this particular media but stop whining emo kids.  You're life is ( Read more... )

I had to go home yesterday because we had to put Pearl down.  Her kidney's shut down and she was peeing blood and there was nothing else to do.  She was 15 and I had her since I was 7.  She was a good cat and she was good to me.  She always would be there for anyone in my family when they were sad or sick and just sit with them and pur. She purred ( Read more... )

I love Pacey from Dawson's creek.  Seriously.  I love the idea of an Anti-hero price charming.  The bad boy with a heart of gold concept.  It's so rare to actually find that in the real world.  He starts as an underacheviver but finds him self after he has, then loses sucsess in the traditional sense.  Maybe I just like it because it seems fair ( Read more... )

I hate not sleeping.  Normal people are sleeping now.  Maybe I should start trading my time.  Cashback.  I don't know.  I have to many thoughts.  I don't know where other insomniacs thoughts run to in the night, but mine run to scenarios   that never happened.  Some almost happened but didn't.  It's not a regret but a wonder.  I wonder what would ( Read more... )

I don't know what got me thinking about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind today but I was.  I remember a friend telling me he watched it on Valentine's day with his roommate and didn't understand why his roommate got so upset because it wasn't that sad.  I just looked at him and told him, that's because you've obviously never had your heart ( Read more... )

Not everyone goes to college.  In fact only 33% of the population does.  Maybe it should be even less.  I'm pretty sure it would be if colleges forced people to take a common sense test before being accepted.  I guess I expected a very basic level of sense and still do and I tend to be disappointed.  Here's my advice to anyone who will listen ( Read more... )
