On November 28, 1997, among other things, I bought The Michael Jackson Anthology.

Two tapes.

Nineteen or twenty bucks.

All I could ever want.

1997 had its share of life-altering events, but this one is perhaps the most significant in that the possession of this collection TOTALLY triggered my Muse into writing less of the playful talking-animal ( Read more... )

To probably no one’s surprise but my own, I’m a bona fide fox in these parts.  I suppose the reason why I’m surprised is that I’ve never been pursued by so many eligible dudes before.  I’m used to being eyed only by old and crusty, or downright nasty, ignorant motherfuckers on the street or outside of Wal-Mart.  But men that I’m attracted to...

Just finished filming my first film not too long ago.

And I must say...

I loved it.

I enjoyed it.

It was a lot of fun.  Even if the film turns out to look sucky and budget and all, the process itself was very worthwhile.

Oh, shut the fuck up.  I can have mental meltdowns and back track as I fucking wish, thank you very much.

Lord knows why I’m doing this here, but I just needed to get this off my chest…for whatever that’s worth.

First of all-since word on the street appears to be that I’m self-defeating and devoid of any semblance of self confidence or whatever-I know I’m good.

I know I am a talented writer.

Fine.  Great.  Nothing new.

However.

All week-yes, all ( Read more... )

I’m trying to remember if I broke a mirror back in 2000.  Because I’ve lived-for the most part-in RI for the past seven years, and damn if it doesn’t feel as if a curse is being lifted.

I remember prior to that, I used to think it was really remarkable that no one in my family that I knew or had a close relationship with was dead.  That changed, in ( Read more... )

Before you read further, just know that I just drank a forty ounce and 11.2 fl. Oz. of Smirnoff Ice and am a tad tipsy to say the least.

Today was my last full day in Philly, and now I’m all verklempt about leaving tomorrow.  I had a great, great time here.  I really enjoyed my job and had a groovy experience, met some awesome people, learned a lot ( Read more... )

I'm working on the yearbook for the summer program at which I've been employed for the past three weeks.  Of course, my Picture It! program is acting all fucked up.  Of course.  Dammit, I wouldn't have survived the past three years without my Picture It!  It's how I morph into the colors of th'rainbow, lassies!  It's also how I got the one and only ( Read more... )

I’m putting off putting together this writing assignment I’m giving My Philly Kids tomorrow.  I’m actually making a handout!  Who ever thought they’d see the day?  I should mention how much I’m enjoying my time in Philly and how much I like the students I’m working with.  I feel silly for being paranoid that they’d hate me…but then I guess I have ( Read more... )

Glad I claimed 2007 as My Year-which really just means I put my foot down and said, "This year will NOT suck."  Two thousand six was mind numbingly awful like that, but that happens when you spend a whole year in a horrible, despicable, miserable place.

2007 is so far so good, and I think a lot of that has to do with my choosing the more ( Read more... )

I got this gorgeous dress today.
