The problem with trying to do work at home is that all your coworkers are insane. It all started as I sat here and edited Bitter Moon II. I was actually enjoying myself, and I looked up and saw that the Cave Troll had no pants of any kind. There he was, bum-winkie-nekkid, yelling at… Read More

I got home today and there were two packages–for ME! There was ‘Elfhunter’ from my friend Archer (C.J. Marks) and there was (oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!) ‘Sanna Meets Dauntless SwiftSure’ by none other than our very own Roxie–YEEEEEHHAAAA! So there I was, in my office (the bathroom) doing my business (’nuff… Read More

(The Cave Troll, Mate, & Grandpa Pete light candles.) It was a rough day housecleaning, and it seemed as though every time we got a break from the short people, they were getting into something worse than what they were doing when they were driving us crazy. Example? The Cave Troll disappeared for fifteen minutes… Read More

***The Cave Troll is 5 today (11/15)–tomorrow I will do a big gushy B-Day post, but today, let me leave you with this. A young man in my 3rd period came into class with a lot of balloons yesterday. He is handsome, quiet, and subversive–he talks quietly a lot because he’s done with his work… Read More

*SNARK* Okay–it all started when I asked for time off– last year. And I did a little paperwork and the time off was approved and vague, mysterious things happened in all bureaucratic layers above my head, and this year I came back to school and VOILA! I only had three classes. Or so I thought…. Read More

I’m afraid I’m going random style today–sorry. I’ve been trying to dredge up something coherent all day, and it just isn’t flying. Brain on sludge–talk to me after Christmas! * I hate my 3rd period class. A lot. Someone VANDALIZED A FUCKING DESK today–I caught it in time to wipe that thing clean but after… Read More

(Okay–random kid cuteness, because no one was on the other computer and I could!) Now…First of all– Waiting– So far, so good! (ismarah, come… join the dark side…) Seriously, so far, folks have enjoyed WAITING, and I am, well, pleased. Very very pleased. Keep the comments coming–they do give me hope! (And since the iUniverse… Read More

WAITING is up on the website–except there’s sort of a labeling problem. (You know when you’re reaching for chocolate and you get cheesecake…yeah, hate that!) Sometimes when you pull it up, the sidebar under ‘Amy’s Writings’ says ‘Yearning*’ and ‘Yearning’. The one WITH the *asterisk is *really* WAITING, not YEARNING! Sorry about that–fucking computer glitches!… Read More

Okay– the dragon in my blood that was ‘Waiting’ has settled down to brood happily over ‘Rampant’ again, the election is over (Go Obama!!! California–shame on us. Shame on us all) and the Christmas madness has not quite begun. I’m almost ready to join the human race again. Or I would be if this pesky… Read More

I have officially remembered why I went to part time. I had a staff meeting today–didn’t get home until 5:15–the short people were… well… Amazingly talkative. I spent two hours on the couch with my squishy Ladybug kitty and a cowgirl and a kid who needed to look at a Wal-Mart catalogue and a kid… Read More
