I was going to write a longer post, but my sister called and took up my writing time… It’s not like I can say, “No, I need to work on my blog that exists because I want to disprove everything you believe.” Oh well. I truly suck at being an adult. I don’t think I’ll … More Adulthood, Animal Abuse, and The Crocoduck
Just four pictures to share today. To this first, I had a visceral reaction: Not everyone who says these sort of things is being an attention seeker.

I learned recently that September is Suicide Awareness Month, which is awesome, I guess. Awesome in that one exists, terrible in that one is needed.

Here’s the link to the whole thread. For those who don’t wish to read the whole thread, here’s what I tweeted … More Twitter Nonsense: No Gay People?

I’m not sure what time I would wake up if I had the choice, but I do know I would not set an alarm. If it was early enough, I would start by getting some writing done; whether a new “short story” or a few more sentences in a novel or some characterization or even … More An Ideal Day

Weekends are never long enough. Especially weekends where I end up having to do laundry and clean the gerbil cages.
