Flights of Fancy
I’m sitting at home as it rains outside, watching my pager, praying that it won’t go off. Please, please don’t go off. I hate being on call. The husband is sleeping downstairs. His buddy was over last night, and I’m guessing they were up till the wee hours of the morning. The kids are, for the moment, thankfully distracted.
I haven’t been writing. I ( Read more... ) -
Co-workers Are for Venting About Management
Eversince I started my current job, I've felt isolated from my co-workers. This kind of business, I'm in the field most of the time. The most I interact with my co-workers are over the phone. Today for the first time, I didn't feel isolated. Yesterday, I had an altercation with management, and it totally bummed me out. Today, one of the nurses ( Read more... ) -
Song Writing Contest
You know what I discovered with writing that song in my last entry? I discovered that I don't like writing that type of prose. I probably won't do it again... Unless there was another contest. Contests are fun!
Some explaination. Since I only seem to friend people in the Saiyuki fandom, the friends are probably wondering what the hell am I ( Read more... ) -

Lessons
Was it always this way?
This strange world around me?
Day by day still the same
And then this change upon me.
Gathering up the experience
I learn from each mistake
Every person holds a certain truth
Lessons of life await
Once I was a certain way
And these problems I couldn’t solve
Now I’m better than yesterday
Forever forward I evolve.

My Knowledge is Giving Away my Stupidity
So I just realized that I have quite a bit of knowledge in the Japanese culture, but that most of my knowledge comes from a very embarrassing source. I went to visit my 79-year-old Japanese patient, and he had a large bottle of sake on the floor. As I sat down on the couch, I picked it up and there was a word in Roman letters on it. “Bishonen,” I ( Read more... ) -
SongFic: By Your Side by Shade
There was someone who posted in one of the Saiyuki communities that she wanted to do an AMV based on Hakkai and Gojyo's burial arch and was asking for song suggestions. Someone offered this song, and I thought that it was so appropriate. Now that was a long time ago, and I haven’t seen what song this poster decided to use. But still I wanted to see ( Read more... ) -
Random
I hate my new house. It’s big, it’s beautiful, in a good neighborhood, and I hate it. I’ve come to recall the old neighborhood with a comfort. The big trees, the city park only a block away. The imperfect broken sidewalks. It was comfortable. Walking the streets, the sunset, and of course the familiar trees. I don’t go out into the neighborhood ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Someone in one of those LJ writing communities had linked this site http://www.watt-evans.com/soyouwanttobeawriter1.html, which I found interesting. It’s a series of articles that gives advice to writers. What’s funny is that the first article basically tells you NOT write fanfiction. And their logic is sound. One of the arguments against ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block
I have writer’s block. Actually, I’ve had writer’s block for three chapters now. The words just won’t flow like it use to and my attitude towards writing has changed. I’m struggling with every word, and I’m spending more time messing with existing sentences then writing new ones. So I stopped, but it bugged me that I did.
At first I thought it ( Read more... )
