*waves*  So, I’ll probably post Halloween pictures tomorrow night to make up for my final disgust with my computer last night. I just couldn’t do it–every change of URL was a struggle, and deciding which windows to close to keep my computer from freezing was like playing Fuck/Marry/Kill with my Internet browser. (Fuck GoodReads, Marry… Read More

*  At the beginning of school, I gave Squish’s class a bunch of my old swag pens– the purple ones that had the little plot bunnies on them. Squish reports that she is tickled when she realizes the entire class is using mom’s Angst & Pain pens. She also reports that the entire class is… Read More

Do you like it? I’ve got blankets–comfy chairs, a mini fridge. Chocolate, ice water, cranberry juice, root beer. Jerky for protein. There are dogs to lick feet and cats somewhere when the dogs are sleeping. There is NO CRAZY. None. Just me, huggled in here with my computer. I don’t have to go for takeout… Read More

People to worship my gods… but a little respect would be nice. * * * My parents are taking the kids to Plymouth for Halloween, and, as expected, this week leading up to the big day has been full of putting together costumes.  This evening, my stepmom called, and we had the following conversation.

So, like many of my fellow authors, I submitted to the RITA’s today– the hardest part is preparing myself for the fact that there are so many wonderful authors that my previous nomination was probably a fluke. That’s okay– I have so much love and respect for my fellows, that I think if anyone I… Read More

Okay– so, today is my first REAL day home– real as in I sort of accept that I’m alive in the world and I must drive things, be a player in my own life. It apparently also means that life gets weird. But I’ll get to that later. First off, the following: *  We’re watching… Read More

* Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake hole. * Posting Twitter updates whenever somebody says something absurd actually makes things go faster. *  The person who sits in back usually is okay zoning out and wishing for teleportation to be invented. * The person who drives through LA traffic is allowed to have… Read More

Okay folks– has been a LOOOONGGG GRL, but I enjoyed myself very much. Had dinner tonight with Ethan Day, and spent the afternoon visiting with Chicken, surviving San Diego traffic, and visiting her cat. Huzzah!
