For those of you who don't know CynicismDirect is currently in the hospital (and finally doing better, thank God)!! So Bill_the_Cat and I thought it'd be nice to give her something to help cheer her spirits and let her know how much we all care. So we're working on putting together a book filled poems, photos, drawings and whatever else you want to contribute to...

So I was talking to my co-worker Karina the other day about her friend who just got out of an abusive relationship and I started talking about my relationship with my exhusband. And then we started talking about what it was like getting out of the relationship with no support from my parents (who thought I'd turned my back on God) and how I was...

But the word, darlin', the word must be spread like the sweet jam it is on the brainpan of everyman, woman, and child.
Doing lots for the birthday. Tomorrow, 2 friends are surprising me with. a...surprise.
Friday is movie, music buying and Karaoke.
Saturday is good food and good wine night.
Sunday is more movies. And probably wine.
Like, every night this weekend.
I like intense.

I don't know if I'd ever edit it.
It came out so easily that it feels like it should be left alone.
The only change I'd make is titling it 'For Riz'.
P.S. Everyone that has left a comment on this journal lives in the Portland area. You planning on moving out here?'Cause you've already got friends here.

Try Cline Zinfandel. I'm sure they'll have it and it cost $9 or so.
But, beer would be good, too...probably better with that meal.

Awesome photos! looks like a blast.
Last night was pretty crazy. It was my exboyfriend's official welcome home party from Afghanistan. My exgirlfriend (who he hates) showed up and started hanging on me and then his current girlfriend showed up, complained about the smoke and left. Leaving a drunk Nick and a drunk Carissa left alone to catch up on old times... I really wish she would have stayed.
So, I'm...

I exude cute some days. =)
So, yea, I figured I hadn't updated my blog since the big crazy day, so I should probably do that before people start thinking my life is a bad teen drama or something. (a la This week on Riz World. Riz realizes that life is good and drugs are bad.)
Spent the day with my mother who now feels awful for our fight. She...

The Craziest Day Ever
Yea, so yesterday was pretty much the craziest day I've had in a long time. Let me preface this all of this by saying my mother has brain dammage, which she got after her cancer surgery when they had problems stabalizing her after and she spent an extended period of time with not enough oxygen for her brain... the main result...

I guess awesome points will have to do..HEY if charlie is on your friends list, I want to be too
So here it is, at the request of atomicharlie, an excerpt from the book I'm writing. A lot of my book is about strained famliy relations. It's main character is Jason (a.k.a. Jase) who is a female named after Jason Vorhees. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Shitting out the Coal
So, I finally joined The Cult today. An online writing group inspired by Chuck Palahniuk. I've been going around reading stuff and looking at all they have to offer and I think it's going to be a great place to help me improve upon my craft. It's time again, I can feel it, time to delve back into the world of...

Yes! Survivor was a great novel. Don't forget Diary.

Dude this rocks! I always find it hard to work when I am staring at a blank canvas (in your case page). It's always where to start that gets me most. But once I have started, its magic from that point forward... Good luck!

My Weekend Off
So, I spent most of my weekend moving more boxes over and building a cube shelf unit to put my stuff on in my bedroom. Apparently Bowser's new favorite is boxes (though I don't know if it tops feet yet, feet are even more so his favortie). I really shouldn't say most. I have 2 and a half months to move and...

Much need for a bike here. I'm surrounded by beautiful bike crazies and the vintage frames they obsess over and make into their own. It's really cool. I love watch and listening to people geek out over shit, and there is a lot of that here.
roguemind:
I wouldn't call it suffering as I enjoy it. But sometimes it comes out involuntarily. And some days I like it more then others.
I miss having a cat around. But with my work I would have time to give it the lovin it needs.

B-Dog gets situated in the new place
So, today was a good day, got enough stuff over here that it's really starting to feel like home. Still no bed, but Joe's couch is so comfortable that I think it might be better than my bed. I did get the thing that's most precious to me, though. Bowser (a.k.a. B-Dog) my cat that thinks he's a...

Tomorrow's going to be a big day. I'm planning on moving a bunch more stuff over to Joe's. It feels weird moving over there. Like a girlfriend trying to sneak her toothbrush over undetected, but Joe's so great about bending over backwards to make those feelings go away that I can't help but think this really is the right decision. Joe's laid back and easy...

Damn, I forgot about word perfect. Oh, Microsoft Office...how I love thee.
What is this book of which you speak?

Thanks for the request. You've been cool in the last few responses which makes me think you won't be a 'random' SG friend so of course I accept.
Kudos on the writing! I won't ask anymore about the specifics about the book because I understand the reasoning behind keeping some things under your hat before it has been copy written/patented/published. Especially to those who aren't in the publishing industry. Even them, it's wise to be a bit leery.
Sometimes I'm too trusting. When it comes to the bottom line, it couldn't be too bad to share with some publishers and/or editors. HOWERVER, SG Twinkie is in the publishing industry. While I don't know her other than from correspondence she seems to know her stuff. Anywhoo
Family life and real horror(film or not)too bad they often seem to coincide.
Thanks for sharing and best of luck with the work in progress.

So, every morning for breakfast, I have yougart with granola in it cause it's the tastiest treat that I can possibly think of ever created and a great way to wake up everying. And now I have found possibly the best thing known to man: Organic Vanilla Almond Granola. For real? What could seriously be better? This stuff is so much more amazing than my...

Right on. Hopefully you're kind when they extend from their shell.
That's so cool about you nickname. After all, where would the Fraggles be without the Doozers. And for that matter, the Doozers w/out the Fraggles. I chose it for many reasons...
I've never been much of a breakfast kind of person and often go through lunch with just a sprit. Regardless, I'm glad you wake up to such sweetness!
Speaking of organic, and you enjoy a bowl of cereal from now and then, you may want to try Kashi Autumn Wheat. It's Yummy.

Vegas should be a definite for ya. It'd be a good adventure for ya.
The birthday was nice, but I didn't get to drink enough wine.
Next time, though, next time...
