Spent my usual writing time this evening caring for a friend who took a bad spill... Life imitates art! No ER though thankfully.

A shower memory.
(This has nothing to do with SepSceneWriMo) People love to brag about their "shower thoughts" to the world, which to me seem to be random, pedestrian thoughts mistakenly perceived to be profound by the thinker. Sort of analogous to singing in the shower. Anyways, in my case when I'm in the shower, I get memory … Continue reading A shower memory.
Something something chapter 2: The Closet
Vanessa moved the phone to her other ear and rolled over on her bed. “Brad! Please!” she giggled. “You can’t say stuff like that! At least not over the phone.” She was too busy giggling to notice her door open before her sister, Tiffany, marched over and yanked the phone out of her hand. “Hi … Continue reading Something something chapter 2: The Closet
Apologies in advance.
And a few random craps™. September brings what every person on the Internet waits for, the global event called "SepSceneWriMo." I am apologizing in advance because I'll be posting pretty much every day, at least if I can get my act together. Further apology is that I have nothing original to offer and it's going … Continue reading Apologies in advance.
What is there to say?
As I alluded to in my last post, I've got a lot of stuff on my mind. Dad is not feeling well, fiance is experiencing major disappointment at work, wedding planning is completely undermined by everyone else, work is work, sister & co are increasingly trying to estrange themselves for zero reason, and other assorted … Continue reading What is there to say?
Random craps #450.
Who knows what number in the series it actually is. Or if there even is a series. I don't remember the last time I was able to scrape together a fictional story of any kind. Maybe the "untitled" thing that I dug up and posted a few weeks ago--yet even then I couldn't come up … Continue reading Random craps #450.
Would you hire me for a job?
Don't answer that. Anyways, this is something I'm very much interested in hearing people's varied feedback on. At work, I'm marginally involved in hiring. I'm not a manager so I do not directly hire (and have zero desire to ever do so--I don't want to be blamed for the stinkers), but I do review applications … Continue reading Would you hire me for a job?
And now for something REALLY different.
No, seriously. Blogger Jewish Young Professional (not a dating site) has issued the Anti-Self-Deprecation Challenge, and I thought, why not rise to the occasion? On the other hand, she has issued this challenge previously, so it's taken a year or more for me to think of something. Y'all know it's hard for me to say … Continue reading And now for something REALLY different.

Just a good old fashioned hard drive harvest that I can't think of a title for. The blizzard drowns out the sound and fury. A madman walks blindly through the snowstorm, flailing and sweeping the heavy flakes which heed him not. A candle might burn only inches from him, but he'll never know. Meanwhile, a … Continue reading untitled
A friend in need… needs a friend, indeed.
One of my many regrets in life is not being a better friend to others when I was growing up. I think of people I picked on and worry about what lasting damage I did; of certain people I ditched for what I thought was better; of people I lost contact with out of lack … Continue reading A friend in need… needs a friend, indeed.
Ugh… family and wedding drama.
Just a quick late-night follow-up rant to this one about family drama... Please don't feel compelled to comment--it's just the same old, same from me--you don't need to humor me. There is some poor soul out there, I know it, who's in the middle of family drama and maybe they'll benefit from seeing they're not … Continue reading Ugh… family and wedding drama.
Overused phrases at work I don’t like.
I had no supervision today, and instead of working hard, I made a short list of phrases I hear people at work say all the time. A few of these are pretty universal, others are endemic to my workplace. "In full transparency." As anyone who has ever held a job might expect, this phrase spoken … Continue reading Overused phrases at work I don’t like.
She’s at it again.
Yes, her, who else? (In case you don't know, the chain of command in the department store where I work is that I'm the lowly administrative assistant, my manager is the office/business manager, and her manager, the boss, is the store manager. My manager, for some inexplicable reason, is best friends with the boss. However, … Continue reading She’s at it again.
Guys, make me feel better.
I generally don't talk about my family or loved ones out of respect for them because they don't know about this blog or aren't allowed to read it if they do. So I'll be as vague as I can, though I must add some details. I know estrangements happen in every family. My sister and … Continue reading Guys, make me feel better.
Love hurts, oh yes it does.
Love hurts, that's what everyone says. And it's true, love and loss never seem to be otherwise than intertwined. Even the most beautiful beginnings contain the seeds of loss. Hold on to beautiful moments, hold them in your mind like precious photographs that you have no other copy or negative of. Don't feel too bad … Continue reading Love hurts, oh yes it does.
