living
The road to the Western Land is by definition the most dangerous road in the world - for it is a journey beyond Death, beyond the basic God standard of Fear and Danger. It is the most heavily guarded road in the world, for it gives a access to the gift that supersedes all other gifts: Immortality.

little beings
I just got two baby pet rats to put in this rust-colored fortress I constructed out of old vintage shelving used to hold jeans, which my roommate and I found in the attic. So counting the momma cat and her three kittens that I'm watching until the kittens can be adopted, I now have six animal residents in my room, when I've never really been much ( Read more... ) -

that writers are forced to torture
their characters instead -

That made my day, because I'm a freaking ( Read more... ) -
yay work
So I'm currently employed at four places (yes, four), and might actually be making forty hours a week (jesus christ!). Which means I might actually have money to go out during the week instead of just enough to pay for rent and groceries, so I just may be able to (fingers crossed) throw my hermit robes away.
