It's not late but I just finished my cup of chamomile tea and I am getting very tired. Also I have been studying since about 5:30 so it's almost 4 hours of writing researching and watching clips of Donnie Darko, and now I should get back to Snow Crash and continue for a while, or until I fall asleep. I was working all day and then went home to study so it has been a long day. But I am gonna read a bit before I go to bed. My neighbour is barbecuing so Spock is going crazy being inside. I just have ...
When I first attempted to write a story was probably in Preschool, so so so many years ago, I didn't think much, but I like it. I remember running up to my Dad, waving the paper around while running towards him as he came to pick me up. I have not changed so much since that time.

The class was miserable, but I love the writing group (most of the time), have met some great writers, and gotten a little bit of ...
I'm down stairs at my house -- probably checkin' my fantasy football team or reading a LitNet thread, when I hear a loud *crash, bang, tumble crash!* from the garage. I think something just fell off of one of the shelves. Maybe one of the kids' sleds. Anyway, it's gettin' time for me to go pick up the kids. So I walk up stairs and get my keys, wallet and phone and get read to go out the door. Interlude Regarding "the Door" ...
