Ok, so there were not actual tears involved, but I was writing and I just wrote this very tender moment seen through the eyes of a child and I got a little emotional.
Ok, so I'm a little menstrual at the moment and I'm listening to Madame Butterfly, but I don't think it was my period or the music.
I'll let you read it yourself and let me know what ( Read more... )

What are we afraid of?  I'm definitely afraid of living life, that's for sure.  That's why I sit in my parent's living room most days and tool around online and watch crappy television on obscure blogs and write meaningless blogs and stories that will most likely never see the light of day; terrified of doing anything that would make me vulnerable ( Read more... )

                What is our predisposition toward romantic stories?  We’re obsessed with ‘couples’.  We weep when two people in stories don’t get together, we cheer when they do, we watch and listen and gossip about couples.  We want to hear about their problems and discuss every nuance.  We do it with fictional characters, we do it with ( Read more... )

Word of warning about this entry: I just finished reading The Golden Compass and had a lot on my mind as I was writing.  I tried to be as coherent as possible, but it's entirely possible that I failed.  I apologize if I ramble a little, or a lot.  Also, I write about details of the story, if you are planning on reading the book or seeing the movie ( Read more... )

Yes, that means I have started yet another blog-type thing.  Don't really know what I'm going to do with it, if anything.  I think, I think if I keep it up then its going to be strictly for writing - professional writing or whatever.  I'm totally not a professional, but I am a writer, right?  That's what I tell people anyway. 
That's what I'll use ( Read more... )

I just watched this show "Quarterlife" both on its website and on MySpace.  My sister mentioned the thing to me.  She'd heard something about it being picked up by some network possibly.  And she thought, from the description of it, that I would be interested.  It is interesting.  It's from the guy who did My So-Called Life - which I love.  But the ( Read more... )

Professional Blogger.

Here's the thing about becoming a Professional Blogger: it's hard.  That's the easy, no-shit thing about becoming a Profesisonal Blogger, but it's also the hardest.
You need to have a name, a website, a topic that you are going to devote your time to, devote research and attention to.  You need to be witty, amusing, smart, ( Read more... )

I was hoping watching Stage Beauty would be inspiring and I would now have lots to write about or the ideas would be flowing.

Apparently I was wrong.

The only things I can focus on are when he says: "You and I are souls entwined."  and when he asks why one acts and she says "When you act you can be seen."
Interesting thoughts, these.

What do I want to do?
Seriously?  I feel like I have zero direction (toward the mall or anywhere else) and I'm going nowhere.  I do what others suggest because I can't think of anything else to do.  I went to college because that's what you're supposed to do after high school.  I got the NC job, basically because Beth said you should do this and it ( Read more... )
