LJI 9 - 2 - The Missing Stair

phoenixejc Mar 22, 2014 13:17

I am on the cusp of a career change, a change I have worked hard towards and am welcoming excitedly. Still, in moments of insecurity, I become afraid of change, afraid of the unknown steps that lay on the path before me ( Read more... )

LJI 9 - 1 - Jayus

phoenixejc Mar 16, 2014 20:28

I live in the rural South and work in the very male-dominated beverage distribution industry. The men I work with are "good ol' boys." Most of them are white, Southern, god-fearing fellows who are slightly gruff and thoroughly heterosexual. While they are properly suited for their positions, they don't really allow for character deviation among ( Read more... )

LJI 9 - 0 - Introduction

phoenixejc Mar 10, 2014 19:42

What can I say by way of introduction? I signed up for this madness, so that in and of itself tells you I have at least a small, rather passive, masochistic streak. But most of the time, I'm thoroughly, boringly sane.

Want a nice, bulleted list of factoids? Sure you do....
I am:

Last night my lovely wife was recounting her joy at getting back into her chosen field, personal gardening and yardscaping. She landed a huge job yesterday and in telling me about it she said something that impacted me ( Read more... )

LJ Idol Ex A - Week 3 - Shenanigans

I need a dollar.

It’s just before bedtime on a school night, and I suddenly, desperately, need a dollar.

My son stands before me in the tiny kitchen of our apartment, grinning his newly gapped toothed grin. His seven year old face is aglow with pride at having pulled his loose tooth all by himself. I beam back at him, but all I can think is how ( Read more... )

Poll Where's Luc??
Okay, so for over two years everyone on my F list has been reading about the hot chick with whom I fell in love and recently married. But other than the occasional picture, which I admit I could have easily fabricated, no one online has met Luc. Why is that? Well, simply put, she doesn't "do" social networks.

Please pick your jaws up off the ( Read more... )

I need some distraction......

so I pitch my hat into the LJ Idol Season 8 ring! This season, the role of my icon will be played by the complex, multi-talented Huckleberry Hound.

This is my third year playing, and I'm REALLY looking forward this season. I hope you'll enjoy reading my entries.

Frenzy Here

phoenixejc Mar 14, 2011 11:16

Okay, because I already have entirely too much to do, I thought I'd have a friending frenzy. That makes total sense, right? Yeah, right.

Anyway, that's me in the icon there. My lovely wifeish (that's wife-ish, as in will be my wife soon, hooray!) snapped this picture of me being goofy. Apparently, I was really excited that we were on a boat ( ( Read more... )
