Billy put out his thumb, and for the first time that day, his smile was genuine. The mountains surrounded him, the sun was warm and the cutting October wind had faded to a breeze. He was alone on a remote highway in the Canadian wilds, at the mercy of any stranger who pulled over to pick him up, and he couldn’t have been happier.

He was lost, in ( Read more... )

Roger gathered his coat around himself, turning up the collar against the winter chill. He couldn’t help wondering if this year was genuinely colder than the last, or if his body was just less able to deal with it. That low-grade anxiety couldn’t distract him from what was really on his mind, however. He was watching the passerby carefully, tensing ( Read more... )

Danny ducked down as a bullet whizzed past his head. He panted with fear, reloading his gun. He was outnumbered at least three to one, but they had him so firmly pinned he couldn’t get a proper look. Gripping his radio, he called for help once more. It had been 15 minutes, and no backup. He was all alone here. There was a searing pain and the radio ( Read more... )

I have lost sight of what I need to do. I know where I am going. I know what I need to do, but living with my parents is like living in a fog bank. I cant see my goals, I cant find them or see the path to them.

I cant find anything right now, and I wont be able to until I get out of here.

I've been all quiet recently, not really talking to anyone online, rp'ing, or even getting together with friends much (just a little bit. maybe once a week).

(Though I think only one or two of my face-to-face-to-msn ( Read more... )

Having reached a crossroads in my life, and having no freaking idea where to go from here, i decided to read a few books and take a serious think about what I want to do. Not 'what job would be ok, i guess' but what do I actually want to do in life?

This is the first draft, and hopefully, it wont change. I have only been myself for 2 years or so, so ( Read more... )

It has been a delicious week! I am still trying to nom my way through all the cucumbers in my fridge, and thats not working at all. I have so much bread in my freezer, i cant possibly use it all up making sandwiches, so a giant bread pudding is what is next on my Julie/Julia List ( Read more... )

I'm coming up to the end of my stay here in Vancouver, and I feel like I'm stepping back a little bit from my friends here, but at the same time, I feel like I'm just now growing used to Vancouver enough to treat it as some kind of home. I've been here three months, and I'm slowly finding my place, after madly experimenting with different roles and ( Read more... )

I think i do my very best thinking while procrastinating school assignments. I wonder what will happen when i graduate? When I have nothing but time to think? Or conversely, no reason to sit and think as an excuse not to finish my 10 page paper on the relationship between bestiality and petty theft in children under 12 ( Read more... )
