How the fuck does my own character make me sad? This happened yesterday. I'm working on a new story, and my main character is giving back story. And suddenly, she says something that hits kind of hard, and I get sad and have to stop writing. The worst part is, I didn't see it coming. How the hell does that even happen?
Side note, still...

Well... I'm still alive. I guess that's a start after last time. The highs and lows, or maybe the lows and lowers, of depression are fun.
Do I have anything new to report? Not really. The nephews and nieces are back in school (in person instead of online). This means I get a lot of requests for help with homework again. I'm an English major,...

Hmm... never sure what to say. I've been lurking again. Anxiety and depression are getting to me. Last night was a particularly bad night for me. Bad enough that I'm starting to think that keeping knives in my room is a bad idea. Thank god for xanax. I don't know what to do anymore. I need to get out of my head, I think it...

That was an interesting experience. So, a while back, I found out that Within Temptation was going to be having a concert 'in vr'. I'll admit, I'm a little reluctant to post this as I've gotten a surprising amount of crap for being a fan... but fuck it, I love this band. They're probably my favorite band at this point. So, I was excited to...

Why do I keep doing this to myself? I got an Oculus Quest 2 a while ago (quarantine purchase). And, for some unknown reason, I keep going back to the damn shark videos. If you read this stuff, you might remember a blog a little while ago about my fear of the ocean. So why then, do I keep subjecting myself to the underwater, freaking...

That's right ladies and gentlemen (like any guys actually read this)! It's that time again! I'm trying to get some writing done, so naturally, I'm doing anything I can to put it off. Having reddit on the same computer I write on is a terrible idea...
Although on the subject of reddit, I kind of need to get back on there and respond to some...

Fuck! I'm old. My nephew turned 18 today. I remember meeting the little jerk when he was only 3, now he's 18. Wtf? And what was his meal of choice? Popeyes chicken sandwiches, of course. Not sure why, but that boy is obsessed with the damn things. Good god... the little one, the youngest, turns 12 tomorrow. I always thought it was just a cliché,...

Okay. So, my 15 year old niece is currently mad at me. She decided to watch Fullmetal Alchemist (spoilers ahead), because I told her it's a good show. I left my room around 1:30ish in the morning, and noticed the tv was still on, but no sound was coming out. I went to the living room to check, and she was sitting there in the...

So, I guess I tend to forget that my phone can make, and more importantly, receive calls. And, it happens so rarely, that I got the worst jump scare in a long time from the damn thing. I was watching a cat video, it was meowing all cute, and I had the phone close to my face. Then it rings, I jump about a foot...

So, through the magic that is the internet, last night I ended up browsing through pictures of the ocean. Now, I'm absolutely terrified of the water. Maybe I could manage being in a boat, but there's no way in hell you'll get me into that water. Why then, am I so fascinated by the ocean and the things it contains? Why does it draw me...
