From Sunday, 'Published' Today for Some Unknown Reason
I had an awesome night last night - book release party up in the City (San Francisco, donchaknow). :) Sooj was there (she remembered me - squee!), and the music was righteous. Can't wait to read the book, either ( Read more... ) -
Old Random Post, Started as a Writer's Block Post, Got Rather Out of Hand.....
Wow. Thinking back, it's been a *LONG* time since I've been on a plane. I've dropped people off at SFO (San Francisco) and/or picked them up at SJC (San Jose) several times (it seems, anyway) since the last time I was on a plane, myself.

So, I know this is passive aggressive....
But especially since Mom/Grandmother/Kelly all seem determined to take my family away from me, damnit, happy anniversary, Daddy. 32 years ago today, you made us a family, by marrying Mom and making me your daughter, even if it wasn't strictly legal yet, given that Peter (my biological father) wouldn't sign the papers for two more years Thank you ( Read more... ) -

Fun Stuff!
An old friend of mine ("old" as in length of friendship, not age of friend) has come back into my life recently, which is something to celebrate, in and of itself. He's also introduced me to his girlfriend, who is wonderful, as well, and new friends are something to celebrate. And, if that weren't enough, they've introduced me to a band that I ( Read more... )
