Really Quick Post Here
Sep. 10th, 2014 09:45 pmHi! Life is weird and crazy right now, so I'm sorry if I seem AWOL. (Particularly to those of you waiting for e-mail replies. I'm sorry; hopefully I'll be able to reply tomorrow or soon after.)
*Twiddles Thumbs*
Feb. 9th, 2014 10:51 pmDon't mind me, I'm just sitting here, impatiently waiting for my Hydra CD to come in the mail. YouTube is not enough right now. I kinda miss the old style Within Temptation. "Truth Beneath the Rose" and "Hand of Sorrow" and "Ice Queen" are the first things that strike me when I think of my favorite band. But at the same time, I love how their current musical style is a strong tribute to the rock style of the 80's. I want to be able to write books in multiple genres, so I guess I can't blame them for experimenting with different styles, too. :)
And don't get me started on G's upcoming single. I'm super excited, but more and more, I'm worried I'll be a little disappointed. For me (and quite a few other fans), his masterpiece will always be Last Song. But since G himself wants this song to carry his memory, to be his defining song, in a way . . . I don't know. I don't know. I think, as we say on Tumblr, I have too many feelz. (Yes, that's feelz with the z. It's more emotive. LOL.)
To bring up the subject of writing again, I'm not happy where I'm at with my main WIP. The story has gotten ridiculously long and complex, and I originally decided to split it into two books. But there's just too much material. I'm afraid I'm looking at a trilogy--a very disjointed trilogy that's taken almost four years of my life, on and off. And I feel like it'll take four more years to get it up to snuff. But I'm determined to try to finish it this year, if only so I can move on to another project. It's just not easy to do so while juggling two jobs.
Interestingly, this recurring customer at work, whom I always forget, always remembers me and asks about my writing. (Actually, there may be more than one. Like I say, I forget them easily.) I don't know whether to call that sweet or scary. I can't quite read her, so I have no idea how to react, and I just smile and say thanks. I don't like feeling completely unable to gauge people, because it makes me feel vulnerable. Ah, well.

Online Dating and Work Conversations
Jan. 22nd, 2013 07:05 pmTo the many online dating websites out there . . . I cordially hate all your ads in all mediums. Especially those of Christian Mingle. Not preacher's wife material, sorry--I'm cynical and anti-social, at best. If I want to go hunting for a man, I'll do it my own way, thanks. (And that's putting it mildly.) Leave me alone.
On a more positive note, I had a fun conversation with a customer at work about Hinduism, Sarah Brightman, writing, and photography--especially sunset photos. I found out she's won a lot of contests and has been featured on the local public TV station. I hope I didn't talk her ear off--once I get comfortable talking, I can't shut up. LOL. Little chats like that make working retail a little less of a pain. :)

Brightening Things Up a Bit
Jan. 19th, 2013 09:17 pmAnd I mean that figuratively. Still going to be semi-goth around here (or demi-goth, that sounds more fun). But I'm going to try to be more active here, even if that just means being random. In that spirit, I give you:
LJ Is Alive!
A Multifandom LiveJournal Friending Meme
Tumblr is great, but my fandom heart is in LJ.
That says it all. To anyone and everyone who joins my f-list because of said meme, greetings! Happy you could drop by. :)
In other words, I FINALLY watched the latest Ice Age movie. Dumb plot that can't compare to wit of the third installment, but there were great characters as usual (except for the boring villain). And I want more Diego/Shira scenes, dagnabbit! Took you people freaking long enough to find a girl for the character with the deep, sexy voice, as my Mom said. I am convinced Dennis Leary's voice is magical.
