Football, Puking Etiquette, NaNo, a Thanksgiving Horror Tale, and Contests
It's been a while since I posted anything here. Heck, it's been a while since I've posted anything anywhere. ^_^ So, what have I been doing?

Inspirational Education Story
I haven't been around LJ much lately, so if I haven't commented on your journal entries, it's not that I don't care--I just fell behind and probably won't catch up. I have caught several entries about sad, bad, and irritating things going on in our schools and colleges. So, I thought I would share a link to a different kind of story.

When did "I" go so wrong?
When I was growing up, an irritating mistake a lot of people made was to use the word "me" when they should have used the word "I." What I want to know is when (and why) this flipflopped into the exact opposite problem? I am sick to death of people using "I" when they should say "me." I see and hear it all the time, not just in everyday ( Read more... ) -
Who Dat? And Why Did All Those Men Have No Pants On?
How is it that a group of men I don't even know winning a football game I didn't even have any money on can make me feel so darn good? But I was dancing in my living room tonight! ^_^ No one can say the Saints can't play with the big boys. Sean Payton is a risky devil, but it paid off because the Saints team was all heart. The Colts are loaded ( Read more... ) -
Na, No WriMo for me this year, either.
So, even though it's just 11:00 p.m. at my house, the NaNoWriMo count just closed shop on me. But, it's not like I was going to crank out 14,000 words in the next hour anyway. ^_^ So, I guess my official word count came to 36,845. (And yes, I was typing right up to about 10:57 when I went to enter my latest count, and was planning to keep ( Read more... ) -
Taking Stock: My Writing Anniversary
I posted my first chapter of my first fanfic, "Hentai Bets," at MediaMiner on November 9, 2006. I thought this would be a good time to take stock of where I am now.

Football, Motherly Pride, and NaNo
I am officially the worst fantasy football manager in history. However, in spite of the fact that I had my 3 top-scoring players riding the bench, I managed to win my match-up this week! And that is in spite of the fact that Kurt Warner forgot what color jerseys his receivers were wearing. So, I have moved up into 4th place!

Just Another Football Journal ... and NaNo
Did I mention I love football? ^_^ My son's football season is already over, which makes me very sad. His team had a lackluster record of 4-4, but his personal stats were great--at every position. Basically, after the first couple of games, the coach started putting him in wherever they needed someone hit. He played middle linebacker, fullback ( Read more... ) -

A Great Gift!
Since some of my f-listers have shared some awesome reviews they have received recently which inspired them, I can't resist sharing this: someone made an AMV for BWM! It completely blew me away and now I am so pumped that I am desperate to shoo everyone out of my house so I can WRITE! Of course, that isn't going to happen, so I expect I will be ( Read more... )
