It was a week, ya'll. in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
I’m taking a break right now. I have one more paper to write “right now,” before I head home, but it’s not a big paper and I’ve done well so far. This paper will be on interviewing, which is an...
Picking up the pieces in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
There’s a lot of odds and ends this week. I think this is mostly because it has begun to get cold in the house (shitty insulation, very large window in my office) and I don’t want to do much. B...
So sad, so sad, sometimes she feels, so sad… Eh Sir Paul, you really have no idea. But okay. The tune’s chipper, at least. McCartney was never my favorite Beatle, but John was kind of a weirdo...
Sittin' on the dock of the bay in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
Only not. Because I don’t know where the waterfront is around here. We’ve never been there, you see. Today, I am exploring north of my “boundary” of WinCo in Frederickson, off on the horribly ...
Nothing. They called me "nothing." in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
I really don’t have anything to say. I’m exhausted. I have a late assignment. I need a shower, and I’m tired, and I still owe Spanish tonight. This one late class is kicking my ass. Needing ...
they won't love you like I love you in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
Title means nothing. I just have the song stuck in my head. University grew teeth this week. The work’s coming in like a nor’easter in Maine in January. I am not happy about this. At the sa...
Runaway in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
I feel so bad that I spend so much time out of the house. But I can’t work here. I tried to read here this morning, and while it was okay for the first chapter, Alaina started a video game where...
And that's a wrap for week 2. Well, almost in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
So, school is ending up its second week. I have found and landed a Tiny Job (notetaking) and I am proud of myself. I didn’t think I’d get it. I didn’t get the Forensic Mitigation one, after al...
So, fun weekend...no, not really. in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
So my weekend plans were to drive on I-5 and research some expensive shoes that are supposed to fix how I walk. Didn’t happen. Friday night, standing in line at Win-Co with Kitten, and I start ...
That 31-day thing in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
Today, the prompt is, “Am I happy.” And the answer is, I don’t know. I don’t think that’s a good prompt system for me, so I’m going to shelve it. Today, I went to the doctor’s instead of Spanis...
Meh. Again. in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
First day for three of my classes. Spanish is MWF, and these three are Tuesday-Thursday. It’s nice because I have that day between classes to pump out the work. It’s not nice because the last ...
31 Days to 'Change Your Life' - 6 - "Current life" in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
I guess they mean a snapshot? Right this minute, I am obviously sitting in front of my computer. I just emailed the twins’ math teacher, trying to explain personality quirks and Kitten’s mad das...
The Voice - Edit an Essay! in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
So, there’s a conference for the English honor society I’m in, and our theme is “finding our voice.” I suspect they mean the edity thing where you develop a style of your own as you go, but my b...
Short answer: fucking everything needs to change. Nothing about how I am living right now is acceptable, except that I’m in school and working on getting better. And I’m making dental appointm...
Well, there’s not much I like about me. I don’t like my body. I don’t like my hair. I don’t like my weight. I don’t like my infernal patience. I don’t like my tendency to overeat. I really hate t...
Not a whole fucking lot, actually. Physically: Um, I’ve got nice fingernails. Usually. They’re broken back right now, but they can grow out almost an inch each on their own, and their color a...
31 Days to 'Change Your Life' - 2 - "Ten Things About Me" in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
Omg, what. What even. What the fuck. Fine. 10 - I need to go buy the twins new shoes. One twin wore my shoes today. They were not too big. What. I remember when their feet were shorter than...
Yeah, I think it’s gonna take more than 31 days, babe, but whatever. Where do you start on yourself? Description? Fine, I’m female (cisgender) and I’m five foot six and a half. I weigh too much...
Ashtray Logic in Chopping Block
Although she looked for the Range Rover, she pulled into the Conoco without having seen it at all. Dialing the Sheriff’s Office with shaking fingers, Audrey leaned against the convertible, pulle...
Ball-ball, Buffy! in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
More cooperative writing angst. We’re fighting again (this time “we” is me and Old RP Partner.) She’s definitely mad I dumped her on the site and “ran off.” She expressed this by being angry I’...
Tell a lie, live a lie in Dancing on a Blade (September 2019)
So, I told my husband a lie yesterday. We were fighting about birthdays in the middle of Wal-Mart (we do a lot of our fighting out of the house, because the Siamese Death Army cries if I raise m...
On a scale Of 1-10, how strict were your parents? Never really knew which mom we’d get when we woke up. Dad was OTR (over the road.) Most of the time, mom was a “get the fuck out” mom. Just go...
Pinchy proddy in The Tightrope Dance (August 2019)
I have this weird pinching feeling inside lately. I wonder if my IUD is moving around. It’s pretty painful every so often, but there’s no bleeding (like when it popped itself out.) That was buc...
roleplay therapy in The Tightrope Dance (August 2019)
I was sitting thinking, which is never a good idea but I do it anyway, how all my rp relationships end up with crap that other people take to therapy, but I can’t, because these are fictional cha...
Come back, baby. Rock'n'roll never forgets. in The Tightrope Dance (August 2019)
Thanks, Bob Seger. I really needed to know that I can be old and still listen to crap, yeah? (Not that I hate you, Bob. Actually, I love that song. But you sure aren’t Bach, are you?) So today...
