YOOPERS ROCK!!!!!!!!
The tiny Upper Peninsula town of Grand Marais, Michigan, recently won the Reader's Digest "We Hear You America" contest. In the linked article, there is a picture of my husband's brother, looking like a typical "Yooper." If you read the article, you will understand just how momentous this occasion is: Grand Marais has a year-round population of ( Read more... ) -
A public apology...
A couple years back, when things got shaken up over at Dokuga, I made some remarks that, even if some of them were protected entries... and they didn't name names... turned out to be horribly inaccurate. To my intense regret, obviously.
Never let it be said that I am not adult enough to admit my mistakes. Or, at least I try to 'fess up to them ( Read more... ) -
Dokuga is down...
And there's not much I can do about it because it's for nonpayment to the hosting company. We had no clue this was coming... none whatsoever. Currently we are running fundraising through the Demonlordlover2, Dokuga and DanysFics Yahoo!Groups. If anyone on my f-list would like to donate to help us get back up and running, please either PM me, or ( Read more... ) -
Onward...
I've been in the process of moving all my blog posts on Myspace into my other LiveJournal. In the process, I took a stroll down memory lane - and managed to fill an otherwise empty journal with quite a bit, I think. Then again, I do tend to get a little wordy on occasion, don't I?

Oh, piffle...
I'm not even going to bother to f-lock this, since it certainly didn't prevent someone from distributing my last post to all and sundry. Thanks, friends!
I deserved it, though. I've shared an f-locked post with someone else once, so turn about is fair play, I suppose. Still, I completely own what I said in the other post. I said it, and I felt ( Read more... ) -
Stuff on my mind...
I will freely admit that I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment. Not all of the angst is my own, but it still weighs heavily:

I should be shot...
But I did it anyway. Took the stupid test like everyone else in my universe... drumroll, please!
Writing sample from a drabble done a couple years ago:

RIP Emperor Manximilian!
Emperor Manximilian, aka Manx-cat, aka Minkie, crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning with his loving family in attendance. Now, he's running free, rabbit-hopping along, his fur once more sleek and silky, his big, round kitten-eyes gleaming, that tuft of fur on his stub of a tail flying out behind him, and probably bitching us out for not being ( Read more... ) -
Saying goodbye is NEVER easy...
It was a weekend of "Hellos" and "Good-byes." From seeing faces that I haven't seen since practically my own wedding, to my father-in-law's funeral. From visiting the "Big Lake," to watching it disappear in the rearview mirror. From leaving a declining, but still active, beloved pet, to finding a shocking decline upon return.
