Happy Birthday to alkmene, whose birthday I missed a few days ago, though I think you use live journal as sporadically as I do now, so you might not even see that ( Read more... )

Writing Prompt: Write a letter to the one that got away.

S-
We haven’t spoken in years. I haven’t even seen you since long before I claimed my diploma. It’s funny. I thought once we parted ways, I would constantly give in to the urge to Facebook-stalk you, that I wouldn’t really be able to let you go, that we would still trade meaningless notes ( Read more... )

Prompt: Recount your earliest memory of writing.
When I was very young, I spent a lot of time with my grandmother. She didn't work once she got married and had kids. She had breakfast at the same diner every morning after she dropped my grandfather off at work. She ran errands, watched soap operas, and chain smoked her way through too many ( Read more... )

So, I’m not one of those people who got married, had a kid, or made a million dollars last year. And yes, there were some bad spots (like making the decision to euthanize my oldest cat). I worked, I wrote, and I let myself obsess with some pop culture amazingness. And I know I’m a little late to the game (I did say I would have this up last week, ( Read more... )

Heads up, livejournal friends! I decided to change my username. I'm trying to make all of my online accounts somewhat consistent. It'll make things a little easier for me. So, my livejournal name is now the same as my twitter handle.
I thought now was a good time to do it, provide a little update before I post my huge (and I do mean huge) list of my ( Read more... )

Hey guys! Long time no write, right?

I haven't left Portrait or anything like that, but I'm trying to expand my writing a little bit, and I am in love with the new series Agents of SHIELD, so I contacted the folks over at Marvel's Agents to see if they needed another writer since they are a brand new fansite. If you guys like the show (or The ( Read more... )

So... I have frequently found myself stuck when it comes to writing over the last couple of months. That's part of the reasons so many of my entries prior to this were prompts of some sort. Trying to unstick my brain and all that. I have found that a great way for me to actually unstick everything is baking. Who knew? So far, I have made banana ( Read more... )

I don't even know where to begin. Oh, wait, yes I do.

I moved into a new apartment about a month ago. Still living with the parentals, but I cannot afford to move out. I like the apartment, but it's definitely an adjustment. We're on the third floor now, but we've got a little bit more space, and I even finally have my own bathroom.
Of course, we ( Read more... )

I don't really have time to do a full post right now, but you guys, I got my brand new laptop, and it is fantastic! I felt like a little old lady ordering it from QVC, but it was totally worth it. I am ridiculously ecstatic. I just have to get used to navigating the apps and such. I'm kind of old school, as I'm sure you guys are aware since I have ( Read more... )

So, these past couple of months have been incredibly busy for me. I hadn't been on here in so long that I wasn't even sure I would remember my password to log in. Ha. I'm in this training program at work to move up to a supervisory position. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it to be honest. I want to do it because it will be a full time job, ( Read more... )
