Christmas Escort for Hire?
It’s getting to the point where I feel that hiring a man to escort me to my family’s Christmas might be the route to take. I’m tired of being the single cousin. I’m tired of never having a date. I’m tired of not being able to burden everyone with gift-buying for my three illegitimate and annoying children. I’m tired of being the “loser” in the ( Read more... ) -
Put Your Arms Around the World, It's Christmastime.
It always seems that the cold of December likes to bring with it the realization of loneliness. There's something about the still of a snow-covered world that makes the silence of it so much louder and infinite. I feel a lot lonelier this time of year. It's never bothered me before, I'm alone 98% of my time, but for some reason, the seconds tick by ( Read more... ) -
Podcasting
So I have discovered the fun of podcasting. Andy and Ollie, the hosts of the Digger Cast, invited me to be a guest on their last episode (Lord only knows when it will be out, but I'll let you know when) and it was a lot of fun. I have always wanted to do a podcast, and now I feel like I would definitely be able to do one ( Read more... ) -

However, that is not the case. It has snuck it's way underneath my door like so many basement crickets, and just won't go away. Christmas music is on the radio, in the ( Read more... ) -

Christmastime in London/Paris/Newcastle
So Bobbi Sue, one of my bestest pals ever, came up with the idea of taking a trip to England next year. She ran it by me (I never knew she was interested in international travel, but any excuse to go to England is alright by me) and of course I want to go. We checked to see when the cheapest times to travel are, and Christmas happens to be one of ( Read more... ) -
Refusing to Fail
I am most sad to report that so far, the Obtaining Optimism project has been a failure. I have not achieved a single one of last week’s goals, nor have I attempted to implement revised goals or try last week’s goals again this week. Life seems to have gotten in the way, and I’m also still quite lazy. That wasn’t going to change in one week, of ( Read more... ) -
Nanowrimo, Day One
I believe this is the final edit of the writing I accomplished on Day One. Feel free to let me know what you think! :) Thanks for the support and suggestions. The main reason I chose this story over the Liverpool ghost story is because the Liverpool ghost story I felt was too important to try and write so quickly. It would take a lot of research on ( Read more... )
