OK, so I'm cheating a little this week.

But it's for a good reason.

I realized I started a story a long, long time ago and never finished.

So, in preparation for next week's well over-due conclusion, I figured I'd point all the new people (and everyone who didn't read it the first time or forgot what it was all about) to the beginning.

The Prom ( Read more... )

For those of you who've been here for a year or so, some of this may seem familiar. For those of you newer to my corner of the web, this may be new.

For a long time now, I've been interested in relationships, crushes and all those other things that make us do silly things for totally illogical reasons. This is mostly because for a long time I was ( Read more... )

Just an ordinary Wednesday this week. But next week I will be instituting "Crush Wednesday" (or maybe "Humpday Crush"... I haven't really decided yet).

What's that all about? Well, you may remember that I'm working on a book about how to crush in a constructive manner. You may also remember that I talk about crushes a lot anyway. Wednesday will be ( Read more... )

More than a year ago, I was inspired during on online comment exchange to start in on a book about crushes. More specifically, the rules regarding crushes.

With a little more reflection, that turned into my idea for How to Crush Without Being Crushed. The main theme to the whole book is that you can learn a lot about yourself from the crushes you ( Read more... )

There was going to be two pieces tonight. One about Love vs. Romance and the other the full definition of what I mean when I'm talking about a crush (which should clear up some of the confusion going on here and here in the discussion threads).

But I spent most of the evening hanging out with fractalwoman and pakgweiSo, the most actual content you're getting tonight ( Read more... )

Every thing has some sort of rules to play by.

The problem is, none of us are handed a rule book when we're born; let alone when we really need it--like when we're teenagers. The only way to figure out the rules for something as tricky as a crush is by trial and error.

And, boy, do we err a lot when it comes to matters of the heart ( Read more... )

You've all heard me mention the book I'm working on. If we hang out, you've heard me pitch it more than a few times. Well, I've actually been doing work on it (not just talking about it) in an effort to get some sort of web presence set up by about this time next week. Not sure yet if I'm going to make that self-imposed deadline ( Read more... )

I actually got things done this weekend. And, through it all, I didn't even forget I was supposed to feed fractalwoman's cats. :)

There was finally some real progress on the rewrite of my resume that I've been tinkering with for the past few months. A little more polish and it'll be ready to go out so I can make more money and pay my debt down. Thanks to starsoup7 and ( Read more... )

It was a very good weekend. Not only did I have a lot of fun, I actually got some stuff done, too ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, I was doing some quick research regarding the marketability of the book I'm working on. You know, the one about crushes that I've mentioned a few times now (tentatively titled "How to Crush Without Being Crushed"... working on website ideas, too). This involved browsing the "Relationship" stacks at Borders when I was there ( ( Read more... )
