An eye on all my horses, you’ve slept with all my men and I’m never gonna pull myself together again

HOLY COW!

ALRIGHT SO YEAH I LIKE CAPSLOCK!

tremble mortal!!!!

Anyway.

So yeah, when I chose my wordcounter for my NaNo Novel I chose one that wouldn’t pick up words like: and, to, the, if, me, I, we, she, ect.

and then I forgot about it.

I was all pissy because it FELT LIKE I’d done so much writing only to come out with a thousand or so words a day, and to end up with an end total of 58k.

I just uploaded my novel onto the nanoserverwordcountgodthing.

HOLY POOP!! NaNoWriMo!nn

It turns out your dorky little FR did around 50k worth of and, the, if, I, she, me, we, he!!!

wicked.

PS thanks Bchasm, without your reminder I would be cursing all december long… and we all know how much santa hates the H(alloween)-word.

So, with all my nanites tucked away I wanna pass out thank yous.

Thanks to B.Chasm for being the sexiest cheerleader with hairy legs that I’ve ever seen.

Thanks to the ‘support group’ because just the idea that there were people out there rooting for me really seriously rocked.

Thanks to my forum pals and the ‘GET ER DUN’ emails.

Thanks to MySpace… for nuthin.

Thanks to all the free time.

Thanks to everyone who I spoke to about this who groaned “you’re doing this AGAIN!?”  then wished me luck.

Thanks to everyone who sent me encouraging emails WAY BACK in 2004, I kept them…I saved them…I still read them.

Thanks a million awesome times to Paul. Because he didn’t ask me any questions (after I yelled at him to stop asking me questions). Also, thanks in advance Paul, for not asking me to read it to you. The answer is no.

Don’t wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans…

Now that NaNo is over what the fuck will I do?

I don’t want to jump back into the forums, they make me bored to the point of tears.  (Sorry McAwesome.)

Mostly been jumping both feet forward into this new J.O.B. Guess what it is, you’ll never guess NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!

Hopefully it’s only gonna take 10 minutes for you to guess, I don’t wanna wait around for the next iceage or anything.

What have I been doing other than that?

Gorging on music, dollface. I’ve rediscovered TRAVIS’ LP “the invisable band” and it’s been worth hunting the internets for (il)legal rips.

not….not that I downloaded any.

Nah.

One thing that Pirates of the Carribean has taught me… EVERYBODY LOVES PIRATES! Even cthulu.

“Yer a mahrked mahan  Jahck.” Okay I haven’t SEEN it but I’ve heard that Cap’t’n Barbossa RISES FROM THE DEAD… just like a deep sea Jesus.

Or it could have just been my devious friends lying to me to get my hopes up.

I lurves me sum Barbossa.

Was talking to one of my friends of dubious nature today about pirates.

My stance is pirates weren’t these loveable ragamuffins who just happened to be on ships, they were killers and cannibals and rapists and thieves… HER stance was “yeah, but they are PIRATES!! AND STRIPES, DUDE, THEY WORE STRIPES, how cool are stripes?”

I countered with “Hamburgerler wore stripes, he’s not cool.” She had nothing to come back with other than “…pirates…” at which point she won the argument because DUDE…PIRATES!!

Okay, I’ve listened to Travis’ “Humpty Dumpty Love Song” 19.5 megatrillmillion times… it’s one hell of a song. ONE HELL OF A SONG!!

Yeah it’s emo, back up off my nuts. Also I couldn’t find them on myspace so you gets no extra lovins along the audio line.

LIVE WITH IT!!

P.S. Current polls show that I’m a ‘cold hard bitch’. I like the popular vote!!

PPS I’m not done blogging.

i just like post scripting stuff.

…okay so I lied, I’m done.

GOODNIGHT, GRACIE

You sure shot them outta the sky!

First,

Hyde killed something. I’m not sure what it could have been… he’s a small cat and he WAS kinda chubby and clumbsy before he (and his fleas) got “temporarily” evicted. When I brought him in the other day his mouth was all ringed in blood and he was drooling alot. I checked his mouth, wasn’t HIS blood (he told me so).

Nonetheless his breath was FOUL and though I gave him ultra love I couldn’t bear his “girly time of the month” type breath.

yech.

His sister, Jeckyll spent all her indoor time in Paul’s lap. These two cat’s have the worse case of fleas EVER… flea powder, spray, repellant oil,  baths…nothing has worked so far. We just got the house de-flea’d (which sucked, I’ve never had a worse case of fleas from a pet that was strictly indoor) so I’m loathe to let them stay in the house until we find a product that works. On cold nights they come in and hang out with us for a while but spend the night in the bathroom.

Tonight I’m going to try a diffrent type of repellant. It’s been slow going b/c we’ll try a new “remedy” for a few days, see how it works… when it doesn’t OUT THE CATS GO and the house gets re-treated while I wait for a few days before I try something else on the cats.

I dislike using so many chemicals but I doubt  they’ll let me go over them with a nit comb. Which was seriously thought about before I tossed that idea out the window. I’m just scared that they’ll get some strange form of cancer and end up with an extra ear on their back like that mouse from Nip/Tuck.

Second…

RED EYE’D MONKEY’S FROM SPACE…. and other regal dreams…

I had a dream last night that I was the middle daughter of this king who ruled this amazingly wonderful and awesomely detailed kingdom.

The oldest child was adventurous and daring while the youngest was a total brat (read: unrelenting bitch). I was the “meh” daughter, didn’t really do anything exciting or noteworthy, so yeah I was the boring one.

Anyway, my father.. the king (who I THINK was actually the Burger King… don’t judge) had this general whom he loved very much. And not that kinda love, either. dork.

There was a war or something and the general (who was this HUGE grey beast of a man) sent his kids off to fight, 2 of them died in battle which sent the general into the PITS OF DISPAIR (but without the albino). And he went on a rampage, beating up and killing peasants and nobles.

My father  (who may or may not have been The Burger King)  sent me to talk to him.

Now, I already didn’t think my father LIKED me… now I was sure he totally HATED me and wanted me dead.

So I went and asked nicely for the general to please, please stop being mean.

He totally kicked my ass and sent me home, crying.

I went to my father and told him that the general was insane and that I couldn’t handle him. The king told ME that I was his liason and it was my duty to go and calm the general down, NOW!

So I think I ran away. I ended up meeting with Wilt (from  “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends”) and he taught me all about something or another…there was running and hilarious hijinks… none of which I remember.

Anyway I went back to my father’s kingdom and confronted the general during some sort of palace/gladiator/court thing. He was holding everyone (even the king) hostage with a gun, I strode up to him and we drew down on each other. SOMEHOW we ended up with my gun in his eye and HIS gun in my eye.

Weird.

Anyway, the general was screaming at the king that he’d kill me and everyone else, and I was thinking “welp, I’m about to die, so I’d better go out with a bang. And I twisted the gun up into the general’s eye, expecting him to just shoot me out of GP or something. Instead he moved his gun and covered his wounded eye yelling and cursing.

The king was all like, “Do you really think I’d allow you to kill my most beloved child? I’ve loved you like a brother all your life, I understand your grief but it didn’t have to come to this…” and more on the same vein.

I think he ended up arresting and/or killing the general but all I could think of was “you love me best?” The (burger) king was all like “Of course, why else would I shelter you so and allow you to do whatever you pleased? Which isn’t much.”

When I woke up I had a good laugh over how excited I was that he loved me mostest.

One last glorious time

All I have done is write.

between taking phone calls

during arguments of small childeren which may or may not have dealt with dinosaurs vs autobots

thought of words

challenged storylines

Kiss me, Kate, I’m finished.

E=MC2? Is that right? Hmm… I had F=MC2. What’s the F stand for? Fridges!

So instead of listening to music with heavy beats and snide, sly lyrics I listened to Eddy Izzard.

I love me some Eddy. And guess what happened? One of my characters developed a sense of humor.

Go figure.

1,000 of it was snarky dialog.

Go Kaji!

My woman lied, she was a witch in disguise.

Ah, so… there IS a word for it…

Personally I’m sick of Rhea’s moralizing.

If I wake up in time, how will I make up my mind?

Ran up to your door

pounded hard, out of breath

Gone to Krewes

If you haven’t read “Galveston” by Sean Stewart, you should. RIGHT NOW!!

oh, alright fine, read it next month… OR WHATEVER. Just read it.

I find myself walking the streets of his Steward Beach, looking across his Bay and slowly drowing under wave after wave of selfish, gruelling magic. All while suffering the white, blank stare of Momus; a god without pity.

I’m a huge Nirvana fan and I just realised that out of the 1,398 songs I’ve played today, none of them have been Nirvana’s.

Why is this? Have I shed my grunge feathers and adopted the fluffy, unkempt wigs of Emoism?

Of course I haven’t. ~whine whine whine, cut myself~

So I now have 2 Nirvana songs in my roster.

Why just 2? Because it seems that you’re no longer allowed to freeplay any of their songs on Rhapsody and I’m a good girl, I am! So no theifing off of limewire (until I get more RAM) so, as of right now all the music on MyPod is totally legit. Too legit to quit.

Can you tell I’m loafing intstead of writing? I mean damn I even opened up a MySpace account.

Today is BB’s birthday, she turned 6…

I mean damnit! where did all the time go? Those brown eyes and that mischievious smile seem to have been with me always and yet not long enough.

When I think about her and her brother I feel like I’m grasping at the air. The time just slips through my fingers. It’s like I have only one chance only to make every kiss, caress, laugh, lesson, moment matter. And I waste too much of it on the computer, or sleeping, or working, or dealing…

Or whining.

Emoism raises it’s shaggy head again.

I wonder if my mother ever felt that way. As if she was dancing a line of desperation. Any moment now it might all be gone. No more getting up three and retucking in little feet, no more fretting over homework, no more making sure bathwater is just the right shade of ‘not TOO hot’, no more innane chatter.

Just the thought that time will steal them away, bit by little bit, inch by inch and grain by grain makes me impossibly sad. I can see the teenager my son will become, moody and intelligent with thick overtones of being a unsure dreamer. I can see the charming and flirty girl my daughter is going to become. I want to gather them to me and just hold on a little while longer… and because I know this is unhealthy I push them away and force them to do things on their own.

I am a sad and angry woman who wears her casual violence like a cloak of elven kind (hah!! take that Marcy Playground) but for my kids I am both iron clad and weak as tissue in a strong Gulf breeze.

Anyway.

Twentynine Thousand One hundred and Four.

Bet you were waiting for that …

I see through you and you were not the only one.

Eli’s expression belied his words and I struggled to not expose the fact that I knew it was the end for us. I knew and for the first time I struggled to comprehend what life would be like without him.

 …..

 I put my hand to her belly and felt the babe moving within. My eyes lept to her face and she laughed at the pleased, shocked horror in my eyes. 

…..

The huge cat beast folded it’s ears back against it’s head and bared it’s massive gleaming white teeth. “Your evil ways are so reminicant of your mother, Rhea, it’s almost as if she’d never been drowned off the coast for being a traitor and a harlot.”  Only Jet’s quick hand on mine kept me from pulling the blade from the sheath it had made in the sand and finding a new home in the damned beasts throat.

….

“I CAN’T!” I screamed against the wind, the rain, the sea. “I CAN’T BE HER! I CAN’T KEEP THE PACT!” Lightening struck the water and steam exploded, hissing, into the night sky and the went slapped me with hot droplets of burning rain.  “DAMN YOU, DIANNA! DAMN ALL YOUR GODDESS BORN SONS AND DAUGHTERS!”  My throat was raw from screaming and I couldn’t tell where the rain ended and my tears began.

Suddenly there was a sound, like the tearing of heavy fabric and the scent of heavy ozone and a voice slid out of the night, calming the storm and quieting the sea. “You shouldn’t call challenges to the gods.” I stiffened, fury forgotten and turned slowly, dress heavy and waterlogged dragging at the sand.

If I were not I

Inky darkness feels like velvet to me, places in the shadows where I can slip in and become unseen. Weightless, formless, chilled from a stunning night wind.

If I had wings they’d be heavy, blood tipped and razor edged. Glittering like malicious eyes in the eerie blue light of my computer’s screen. Steel with simple keen edges, cold to look at and deadly to touch. If I could fly I’d cleave the night in two, tearing the sky from it’s rivits showing the place behind where God, the voyeur, sits unnoticed.  Exposing stars that flicker like candles to the cruel north wind.

Out they go

one by one

and we are left in darkness. You and I.

If you had wings they’d be ethereal, shimmering with ones and zeros impossible to touch. Like you. Shifting and always slightly sideways, unreachable and unexplainable.

You are a dark spirit bearing gifts in exchange for love.

You are a quiet mind in a lotus garden.

You are quick, stattico words typed on white pages and read with precision.

You are a cold frame hiding a thunderous, riveting heart.

You are a voice over a wire and I clasp the phone tight and attempt not to tremble.

You are a hand reaching out from the darkness to hold mine.

You are memories that I want to know.

You are mystery and noise and simple tasks that baffle me with their complexity.

You are the reason for the cruel, dark sea.

…and for these wings…

Sometimes, you are the only one who sees underneath the gloaming to the fluttering thing within.
