| I'm now sitting in the cubicle and the nice thing is I get to talk to people as they pass...make jokes...get nothing done...LOL... but no matter... I have this cheesey grin on my face because I talked wayyyyyy toooo much... and I worked out this morning... doing good on the weight loss...it'd be nice to be running again... I attempted a few minutes...not really long enough to get rid of the baby tummy... and ooohhh little one... is cooing...that's right...cooing... {e:sweetsmile} everytime I see her little mouth try to move to get that stuff out I feel so complete... I've GOT to finish the journaling entry... started it...but haven't gotten anything tooo good going yet... but it'll come... it'll come... and no matter if it doesn't this contest has been fantastic for my writing...really enjoying it... |
In response to: "Invalid Entry"  by SueBear And yes this a bit of bad poetry in the haiku form... it seemed quite fitting for the prompt on housecleaning... Vacuum Oh vacuum, you whine Sucking up white dust bunnies Wait, an ear is stuck |
| "Invalid Entry" by Ronis brain tumor is gone! I read this prompt about the dragon story retold to the kindergartener and all I could think of was why Dragon scales? Are dragon like fish? Do they actually have scales?... and if I was a dragon...I damn well wouldn't let people take my scales... that'd hurt... I hate to admit this... considering I've done writing in the fantasy genre...(see previous entry re: campfire I was in) I lost my interest in dragons in about 7th grade after I read the Anna McCathry series about the dragon's of Perth...I was alllll dragoned out... also unicorns and pegasus (what's plural for that? pegasi?)... not sure why...maybe it all seems a cliche to me... overdone and overused...especially now Harry Potter has come out... and nothing against these books quite honestly they have their place in the realm of whatever realm they belong to... I just wish to GOD there'd be something original in the pop-literature world... and I know it's' alll been said and done before... alllll sooooo mundane... maybe I should get into writing dragon erotica... Esmeralda sat languishing licking her left claw when Messersmith came in. His golden shimmering panel of scales sent shivers through her spiked spine. She grunted in lust... and walking over in her best sexy dragon walk *ponders if that's even possible* She started to shed scales seductively leaving a trail of greenish tan discs behind her.... "Hello lover boy... want to mingle?" she spoke in a low gutteral dragon speak... He raised his head in her direction and put his long, very hard, very erect tail behind her and sliding the arrow shaped tip forward, he pushed the TV remote between her legs and towards him... "Sorry darling, the "Death Defying Daredevil Die Die Die Dragon" competiton is about to start..." Welll you see even that falls into potato couch realism in the end... I suppose I just couldn't get the idea of two dragons fornicating down on paper in even a mildly sexual way... *sigh* back to deep philosophical insights. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |

| "Invalid Entry" by Susannah Deschain Now I could say I am in want of nothing... which is basically true. I am fed, clothed, am loved and so forth... and before everyone groans with "jeez she's so smug" I've always been this way.. even when I was in college and really had much of nothing... but I suppose what I knew was... I wanted my future. I wanted to control what I did with it and for the most part I have... so personally I am in want of little. But what I do want, I want for my children. Once you gaze into your children's faces and realize they will inherit the earth...THIS earth, you have this sudden desire to make it worthwhile for them to have... sooo if I was going to give a wish list here it be... and yeah Santa...I've been good...well as good as can be expected because no one has to make me behave  yeah and THAT I love...answering to no one but myself... well and my family but that's never changed... anyway on with the list...1) Stop global warming 2) Stop war 3) Stop whining 4) Give everyone the gift of self-reflection 5) Give everyone the gift of moral and social obligation 6) Give everyone self-acceptance and esteem 7) Give everyone a roof over their head 8) Give everyone the ability to laugh at themselves 9) Stop all forms of abuse...although with self-reflection and moral obligation that would disappear anyway 10) Stop elitism 11) Give everyone the ability to think critically... 12) Make me brilliant. Okay sooo I snuck that last part in...but then again, if I'm being soooo good as giving the earth a utopian society, the least I can get in return is a little brain power... and I just realized this sounds like some sort of beauty contestant answer list... ah well... *shrugs* as long as they let me skip the swimsuit competition...I suppose I could compete... |
In response to "Invalid Entry" by Cappucine  This was somewhat hard because frankly I've never been very inclined to appreciate the 'classic' characters... many including Jane Austen's Emma and Elizabeth seemed sooo interested in the Social graces and they were tooo quiet and I know it was just a part of the times... the social mores... there was Jo...from Maria Alcot's story.. but you know in the end... it was alwasy the 'man' that came around to save or fulfill their lives... even Rebecca from Sunnybrook Farm... she had her love interest... *shrugs* maybe it's what sells books.. Now Xena ain't bad... she's got that whole bustier/leather armour thing going... a dominatrix dream... but she is a little exteme...almost TOOO fictionalized for my liking... Princess Leia wasn't bad... but still she ended up falling for the whole romance thing... LOL... I really have a problem with my female characters falling into that genre.... where the man saves the day in the end. I wanted it to be Princess Leia to be the one who blows up the death star... being gentrified means she lost all the action...same with Queen that Natalie Portman played... I sort of liked Sleeping Beauty when I was growing up... I went to the ballet when I was about 7 years old and she had this long black hair and just took a long nap. Not sure if it was because I liked napping and she just seemed to be immune to everything... nothing was bothering her.. and I never really bought into the whole prince charming thing... yeah I was a cynic even at 7... And I've been inclined to like the bad guy in many movies... including Kevin Spacey in "All the Usual Suspects" but then I really liked Maude in "Harold and Maude" Now she was an interesting character and older woman who just lived life day by day... one of my favorite quotes from the movie was when Harold declares his love for her and gives her a ring... and she throws it into the ocean and says "Go out and love some more." I guess Indiana Jones is one favorite... he gets to carry a whip and it seems completely normal... now that's fascinating... I suppose if I'd have to pick one last one it'd be Scarlett O'Hara... I have this grudging admiration thing going for her...I really don't like her 'flirting and seemingly spoiled ways' but she soooo good at getting what she wants and acting all coy about it and the men in her life are more like appendages...not really necessary...and she makes big mistakes... Rhett Butler is completely on to her and still loves her anyway... fascinating... and I saw Carol Burnett did a take off of her character where she still had the curtain rod in the dress she made from curtains at the burned down Tara... damn that was funny... |
| and I really hate to admit this...but it has allot to do with the fact I haven't interacted with one of the attorneys in the group for a few days... and I'm working with someone else more regularly who I like... LOL... I'm wondering if this is a female thing... that we take such great stock in our relationships with others that it's actually deterimental to our careers... *shrugs* Anyway, the female attorney of who I speak is disrespectful and when she comes in to get your opinion she really doesn't listen (YES THE POWER OF LISTENING... LEARN IT...BELIEVE IT) and yes I mention 'female' because I'm starting to think this might be a gender issue for me... shit, crap...and it really sucks.... because I want women to succeed...but for some reason most of the male attorneys who I have to work with don't rub me nearly as much the wrong way... as females... damn...damn...damn... so yes, the male attorney I'm now working with... says to me... I want your opinion on this... and he obviously respects it. What a concept???? LOL... with the female attorney I feel like treating her like my six year old..."If you don't want to listen to what I have to say, don't bother asking me my input." ON a side note... the Senior Partner came into my office because she was suprised I was in on a Friday... she asked me my hours again... and she said "Oh excellent... you're here five days a week. Excellent." so there you go... just when you think they don't want you... *keeps guard up...because knows that it could alll change tomorrow* |
| I'm trying to get all of this stuff out of my head...so I can enjoy a day with my family without feeling the need to get on the net and write... quite addictive... Social Creatures We know this to be a fact. Well I'm going to take it as a fact or the rest of this entry isn't gonna make much sense. Humans need others around them... Abuse Now many people in the world have suffered the abuse of others or themselves in their lives. Quite often the self-inflicted pain is from previous abuse by others or some mental issues. However, we are constantly striving for human connection so we go back for more. Now one of the things I've learned in my life is there are many people you can't trust and there are plenty you can. Knowing the difference is essential. Figuring out how to tell the difference can be very very hard. Not becoming bitter and twisted Don't get me wrong I think a bit of cynicism is healthy... or maybe it's just being a realist. People can be exceedingly nasty... now who you choose to let into your life is often dictated by how you've been treated in the past. My folks had a pretty stable and loving relationship. Was it perfect? No, but it provided my family with constant care and there was no abuse. They taught me how to be independent and make good choices for myself. The fact that my parent's relationship wasn't perfect was a blessing because I learned no relationships are perfect and in the end, they take work...exceedingly valuable lesson when we are constantly fed the 'movie dream.' Choice vs. Luck Now this is the crux of the issue for me. How much of where I've gotten has to do with my personal choices and how much has to do with luck? I'm educated and intuitive, I'm probably not as effusive with my affection. Now was that a good thing? Sort of pulling away from people until I get to know them? Well what it has done is meant that I don't have as many people to sort through to get to know. But then again, that's not what I want in my life. We have limited time to do the things we enjoy so those around us who give us their support and help are the one's I will return to. The luck I received in my life is being born to a middle class educated family who knew the importance of intelligence above all else. That is a true blessing. The choices I made... such as marrying someone who treated me well, who was educated, but most important has the ability to grow has been my blessing. But the luck comes in with ... well he may never have liked me... I could of thought he was right for me...but in the end it could've all fallen apart... he might've found someone else... etc. Someone once told me that my husband's love for me was 'special' and 'different' I didn't believe it... LOL... I just figured it was normal... nothing different from anything else... but I now do believe that... and for that I'm thankful... but there was indeed some luck in it... Counting your blessings Yes... now it could all be taken away in a heart beat... this is very important to remember... I watched the terror in Katrina... the aftermath of the devastation... I live in earthquatke country... these are all concerns for me... it's sooo important to enjoy the times we have because it could all be gone in a blink of an eye. |
| "Invalid Entry" by Laart1-Season of the Heart I was thinking about answering the prompt's last question... could you survive if your fairytale fractured? I can't answer that question... because to me it's the noose waiting to tighten on your smooth Snow White neck... When you answer that question either affirmatively or negatively... something somewhere is gonna take it seriously and decide to test you... because if you say 'yes' it's like welllll we're just gonna see...and if you say 'no I can't survive' the powers that be will look deep into your soul and say "yah I think she can... " or if the gods are of the pagan nature they're gonna be taking bets on whether or not you'll fail... soooo all in all just better left unsaid... |
| they voted off Billy on the Latino team basically he was a dead weight.. he was also a social misfit... not interacting with anyone and going off by himself... he dug his own hole... but what I found particularly sad was in the end one of the girls from the other teams said in response to 'I'm going home tonight' was "we love you" it was one of the blue eyed beauties... and of course being an utter geek he thought she was serious and completely fell for it... and was spouting off about how it was love at first sight... I felt really incredibly sorry for him and absolutely embarassed for him... it's interesting how people can create this 'fantasy world' because the real one is out of place with their expectations... |
