By the mid to late 1990's when this video first came out, my mother had already been long dead.  This is probably just as well because I know she wouldn't have appreciated the sentiment.  However, it's a very accurate way of putting the relationship between me and my mother around the time I left the family home. It had been my idea to leave at ( Read more... )

Since don't have 9 to 5 hours or a normal 40 hour work week, Mel, Nicky and I don't get weekends or paid time off.  Though, sometimes Nick just takes off for a couple of days without word.  Roz doesn't make a big deal out of it, and Mel says he's always done that.  But I'm curious as hell to know where it is he goes and why.

We can go several days ( Read more... )

I don't really have a set day when I get paid.  Usually I get my share of our fees two days after we get it (sometimes longer if its in check form since it takes longer to clear the bank).  But I usually have a pretty good idea how much I'm gonna get and when.  When I get paid this is what I usually spend the money:

1. Food
2. Books (research)
3. ( Read more... )

Oh, snap!  I haven't even thought about dying an Easter egg in like...10 years?  More?  Something like that.  Shit! I am so getting a couple dozen eggs and bringing them back to the house to dye.  Melanie will appreciate that.  And I'll make Dominic do them too because that guy seriously needs to do something that most normal humans do.

I'll have ( Read more... )

Dominic was in a sour mood.  Roslyn had essentially kicked him out of the house.  She had told him that he had to get out.  That he should find a hobby.  Something to do.  She didn't like him "lurking" around the house.  She'd stuffed a wad of bills into his hand and pushed him out the door.

It was raining, he had his hood up over his head to keep ( Read more... )

Rat refused to let go of the warm blanket of sleep he had wrapped around him.  Something was not quite right.  There were no nighttime noises coming from outside.  The air was far too still.

Rat knew something was wrong and ( Read more... )

"Un."  Melanie rolls over, placing a hand to her forehead.  The last thing she remembers was running from her school towards the bus stop.  She had gotten a strange text from Roslyn.  Roslyn was known for short simple texts, but they were never so cryptic.  She doesn't remember ever reaching the bus top ( Read more... )

Question: Where you'll be by 2022?

Rat: You're fucking kidding me, right?  2022?  That's 10 years from now!  Do you have any idea what could happen in 10 years?  Crap, I haven't even come up on my 10 year high school reunion and a shit ton has happened.  Ok...well...most of it has only happened technically in the past year. But still...its a fucking ( Read more... )
