This semester I have been taking a creative writing story workshop and I wanted to share my two stories--enjoy! The Yin-Yang TwinsClaire met Motley at a bar in downtown Chicago. As did Stanley. And Barbara. And Sue. And Bradley. And if you got all these folks together into a group, they’d tell you the same tale. Motley, who was once a double, now stands merged, rather than

Happy {almost} Thanksgiving!Thanksgiving is just two days away. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. This semester has been incredibly busy for me and I've had a million things go wrong. Besides the whole laptop business (see last post), my car died. Well, the engine is going to die. So I got another one and that one died. Now I'm in another one and so far so good.

Sorry I Ran Away...It has been forever since I last posted, and I didn’t realize this until tonight when I checked my blog for the first time in forever...I am alive and well, my friends, alive and well! The summer went by way too fast, but I got to go to Washington, DC (for work) and to Michigan (with family)--both trips were splendid, indeed. Now I have started the semester up again, and things

Last night, 20/20 dealt with the creative perspective of “The State of the Union.” Notice how we are missing a word in this phrase. That is where the creativity comes forth—typically, when we hear “The State of the Union” we expect ‘Address’ to follow, along with our moronic president, George Bush, to stand behind some podium slurring and mispronouncing words; but no, last night, 20/20 dealt

Manhood v. WomanhoodIn so many of the current magazines we read today, the term “manhood” has been replaced by the out-of-date, circa 80’s and 90’s, member, monkey, penis, etc. And I ask myself, “Self, what is this thing they call manhood? Better yet, where is my womanhood?” If a man can grab his manhood, can I grab my womanhood? The first thing I must consider at this point is exactly where

indeed i am I've been gone. Crazy busy. Busy going crazy. I finished up last semester and have moved on to summer classes and work. More work. Always work. After I finish these next four weeks, I will be free for the rest of the summer. I can't wait for a break. Its been like three years straight with no, or very little breaks.

To my surprise, things are fairly normal in my life, currently. Classes are back in session, and for the most part, they are bearable. Wolfe and I are still doing well, even though we don’t see each other as much as I’d like to. With school and work (for both of us), it is difficult to find a good time to spend together. We are both so incredibly busy. In fact, I am writing this at work as I

I had a great weekend. And even though my niece, Gabrielle, and my nephew, Owen, are two of the cutest kids alive, I'm still sticking to my "no kids" policy. I spent the weekend with my sister, Tiffany, and her two kids and my brother-in-law, Mike. We went to the pumpkin farm and my niece and I got lost in a corn maze for an hour, but it was a blast! Then we went to the apple orchard and ran a

This was the single most difficult weekend I've had in a long, long time. A long time. Wolfe and I have been very distant over the past few weeks, so in conclusion, we had a long discussion (I cried the whole fucking time) but things were resolved when I realized nearly most of it was my fault because I suck at the girlfriend thing and we talked for hours and I cried some more. Now we are just

I was just talking to Wolfe on the phone about the overload of work from my classes. He mumbled something about being in the academic world & isolating. Jotting it down to include in my paper I'd been working on for hours, I contemplated it for only a few minutes because I had work to finish. Now I sit at my laptop, a completed paper, hours of reading ahead of me, and question...Why? Wolfe is

My classes all seem to be manageable, despite my first day experience in my Post-Colonial British Literature class in Oxford, which I have now reviewed and have decided I can deal.

Kitty-kitty When I was a little girl, one of the best moments in my childhood involved my big sissy. Tiffany had found this cat for me; a long haired, all white, two-year-old cat. I named her Duchess. I don’t know if that was her original name, or if I changed it in my selfishness, (probably the second choice knowing me)! Anyway, so I truly believed that my cat, Duchess, had magical, religious

Hello everybody! How is ya?! I is fine! Ok, enough of that hillbilly bullshit...how is everyone doing these days? This weekend was pretty good for me. I haven't done much writing, but I did do a bit of research for a few poem ideas I have; (more on that later). Well, I saw my darling lil' Latasha on Saturday. She is looking great, and rolling in the dough with Philip Morris. (I hate her!) We just

FYI! Notice the new guest map! I got this idea from the fabulous Helen! Everyone must go and do the freakin' guest map thing! You better, or else!!! Ha! PS I also added two "new to you" websites to go visit, & you better go visit those as well! I'm so productive today, it scares me! Help me, someone; before I get totally responsible! No, no that would never happen!!! I have way too much time on

This morning was a monumental achievement for me! I actually woke up before my four alarms! Go Me! Anyway, things are going well. I started the new job yesterday, and spent last night trying to memorize the menu. Fun, fun. I swore that when I started this thing, (the blog); I was going to write on it everyday. Yup, we've seen how that has turned out. But, I do enjoy writing when I can! I am

The Matron I’ve seen her eyes destroyed by fear Starving for normality Dragging worries through the stairway Up to the nursery Where the babe sleeps for seven hours if she’s lucky And the wind blows through the mint green curtains Whispering highs that never seem to calm Nightmarish dizzy sounds float from the floorboards Speaking of yesterday’s past Where daddy would come Come Come And

Happy June!!! Enjoy the sunshine!!

Today has been a decent day. Not one that I would say I'd live over and over again, but I wouldn't mind glimpsing into this day again. It all started out with me waking up to a cool breeze (that would be my handy fan from Wal-mart) and my two precious kitties in bed with me. Then I finished reading what I would consider one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life; This Side of

Song Lonely hearts fallin’ I speak your name Whispers are callin’ Love’s just a game Cryin’ through thunder Laughin’ through rain Hearts beatin’ under Blood rushin’ veins Music is humin’ Lights are down low I kept your comin’ Your tears fell so slow I kissed you real soft I held you all night But you still were lost And out of my sight I miss your sky I wish you were here Why did you lie?

I have a whole slew of shit to tell you all… It’s funny how life can change by the minute. Within 60 seconds, one aspect of your life can change so dramatically that it leaves your head spinning. This is how the past week or so has been. I began taking my classes at Oxford (main campus). I was a nervous wreck! The first day was Monday, and I was so sure after my class that I was going to drop out

Current Status : While my grades were not exactly what I had hoped (I got straight B's), my mom says to me, "you would have killed for those kind of grades in high school." Yea, thanks for the support, mom. I feel like shit tonight: sore throat, snot dripping, coughing, etc...So to cheer myself up I painted my nails pink. Oh, they are soooo pretty!!!

I never saw another bumblebee A play By: London Kennedy Stage: bare, five wooden stools No lighting except spotlight, only black curtain for backdrop Children ages 6-10 only, three girls, two boys, wearing raggedy clothing Messy hair, only the clip-on type of microphones Child one: (a boy) Spotlight on him, he is sitting in a stool stage right I I never saw another bumble bee Not like the ones

My God! Blogger has been hard at work! Everything is changed! What is this dashboard shit! I detest change!!! Anyway, all is well. I am waiting for my grades. I am utterly terrified. Pray for me!!!

Every change of the season Consider one year attempts Cutting through thick colorless canvass skin Hands stiff Splintered wood Spoon fingers churning stew Stony vision skipping through waters rough Skeleton thoughts Sever sounds of contentment Wrath hollering blues piano music Passing over fields of protein Playing accordion heart waves Swallowing plasma Hourglass dress protruding with no child

life 101 i guess i should write my life 101...one of my favorite professors has cancer, and today as i sat in her office trying to hold the tears back, she tells me "that if all goes well and my heath doesn't go to shit, i'll be here in the fall." gulp...fucking gulp...why is it that all of the good people are the ones that suffer? i guess that is how the world works. last night at work, my

it has been one of those days. you know the kind, the kind where you realize everything around you is about to change. the faces, the places, even the food. i don't like change. it scares me to death. it takes me so long to get used to something, and then it all changes. and it's never slowly, this change business, in the academic world, it is all at once. one minute you are sitting in geology,

Twenty-two hit men Cowing tipping in the moonlit hours Lipstick stains on blades of grass Clockwork winds And oranges falling into beds of yellow hay A serial rapist From the county jail awaiting death row for 250 years While the leaders are shouting at the toddler newspaper boy Sending money to the aliens who are fighting wars over mother’s natural fluids That sleep in the red sand While

Hey...I'm still here, barely breathing, but alive. I have been in bed for the past couple of days with this flu/virus thing (ugh). Yesterday was the first day I was even able to sit up without the room spinning wildly, but I still had a horrible headache. It sucks, bad! :( Everyone throw a pity party for me, ok?? :) I like violins, and wine...Lots of it. Let me know how it goes!

have you ever wanted something so bad, you thought you'd just die if it didn't happen? tonight i was at work, and after gulping three pain killers down my throat (no i am not a drug addict--i had a head ache "this big") i put on a phony smile and greeted the two tables that were in my section. one was a lousily couple that stiffed me, thanks by the way assholes, but the other was a group of

I haven’t written as prose lately, so here goes. I was taking a lovely mid-afternoon nap when Robbie, the neighbor’s boy who visits on the 2nd and 4th weekend of the month (thank god for little things) woke me up bouncing his basketball; while Rick-who is not by the way-the baby’s daddy chased after him, a cigarette hanging off his lips and his beer belly mutt slowly trudging along behind him,

What if I told you I loved you Would you still look at me the same What if I told you I needed you Would you still call on me Less, more… What if I told you I dream about you Would you still let me into your life What if I told you my deepest thoughts Would you still tell me yours What if I told you I could give you the world Would you still believe in me But what if I told you I can’t handle

I shall memorize the way you feel in my arms at this very moment The way your face feels cradled in my hands and how your breath tickles my fingertips as I softly caress your lips The way your shoulders rise and fall with each gasp because even we know this is the only moment in time we’ll ever share Tomorrow I will go back to being me and you will go back to being you and all we will have is
