Yes, so I'm finally joining up with NaNoWriMo for November. I've been wanting to do this for years, so what's been stopping me? That's purely a rhetorical question, unless of course you said "laziness." And in that case you'd be absolutely right. So, screw laziness! Even if I get a job, I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year ( Read more... )

Called the cops at 10:00am because a teen-aged girl was screaming at the top of her lungs in front of my house, and when I looked outside, somebody (a guy) was being forcefully dragged from a car by two other somebodies, and then pinned to the ground for a few minutes.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a completely made up, fictional memory of you and me.

Me: *groggily answers ringing telephone* "Hello?"

Telemarketer: *in a thick Indian accent* "Hello, is this Mrs. (mispronounced name with funky vowels)?"

Me: "Uh, no. Not her." *hangs up*
My mother's name is Patricia, but she goes by ( Read more... )

It seems Lincoln Station has been plagued again this evening with a bomb scare. No solid info yet. That's nowhere near A at work or myself at home.

So, according to the Regional Transportation District, the mysterious white powder found on a train at Lincoln Station was simply baking soda. The train operator is fine. Also, there was a local gang shoot-out at Nine Mile Station, and they closed down that line last night until they could find the shooter; I don't think anyone was injured. The ( Read more... )
