Two weeks from now I will be flying out to Vegas! Woohoo!

And yeah, the cold sucks. It was 36F when I left the house this morning. No idea what it is now, but I bet not much warmer.
 
This week has sucked. Especially with my Dad being in the hospital for a number of minor strokes. But that's just the worst part. I'll be glad to be done with this fucking week.
 
I'm feeling really wiggy with anticipation.

One of the very first stories I posted, A Drive in the Woods, is five reads away from the 100K mark. By far, that is the most reads for any of my stories, and is probably more than than about 80% of them added together. It isn't on of my greatest maybe, but I still have a fondness for the early efforts.

No big deal to the Lit juggernauts, maybe, but it's been a long 6 and a half years.

Based on the average number of reads, I'd say I'll have 100K by morning.

Yea!

:D


!!!!!!!!! It hit 100005 as of the last sweep! I'm a contenduh! !!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'd spend some time thinking about what to do but I'm too busy being happy that I have choices. :)
 
Stargate Universe, what is the deal with long distance communication and apparent body-swapping? Since when was that part of the Stargate canon? I'm not complaining, not yet, but I saw part of an episode tonight and had no idea what was going on with that. It seemed like several people were in more than one place at once. It was confusinating.
 
Wow...great pic Tarakin. lol
I've seen goats climb trees, but I wouldn't have believed a giraffe! That snag looks a little soft, hope it held. :)
 
I think I need to find an old iMac, the kind that looks like a table lamp kind. there's something fun to do with it but I'm not sure what yet.
 
Mmmmmm.....I drank lots. Somebody rub my belly or something. Good food and good whiskey.
 
I won $66 playing poker last night! :nana:

Ten of us played cards for quarters. Only three of us cashed out :eek:
 
As you can see from my join date, I've been here a while. I've seen this forum in many of its iterations. I've seen the jackasses come and bray their bullshit; I've seen the drama queens, the flirts, the adulterers, the young, the old, the talented, the witty, the wise, and the just plain stupid. I've seen people leave in a huff, and I've watched people die, their presence simply disappearing from this forum though their words live on in the annals of the site. I've lived through the Chilled Vodkas, the Brinnies, the Nipples McGees; I've watched folks I care about simply fade away. I've indulged in my own flirts, arguments, and witty repartee. I've had my feelings hurt. I've laughed. I've changed my political ideology. I've had my vacations from this place, and I suppose I've probably had my heyday.

Sometimes I like this place, and sometimes I loathe it; but one thing I can say for certain: Trying to change it to fit my specific needs is like trying to stop the tide. You can make all the plans you want, but eventually you just learn to ride out the tide, and in doing so, survive to plan another day.
 
three or four days, usually. I feel for you - been there, done that, won't ever eat at Burger King again. :(

I did this to myself, ate some old food in the fridge. Stuuuupid. 2 1/2 days later, I finally feel human again. Halle-fucking-lujah.
 
Regardless of the slight dismay I feel at the moment, I will not allow it to divert me from any one purpose I have for being here, the most prevalent being self development. This means I shall continue to reveal my vulnerabilities to those who may delude me, continue to give others' words the benefit of the doubt unless I discover otherwise for myself, and continue to precariously let my guard down enough to allow that which I have secluded myself from to filter through.

It is not my right to judge another's motivations. I have only to step aside, or adjust my interactions with them accordingly to continue to enjoy the traits of each that I appreciate.

I will not allow this forum to skew my theology or principles.
I will continue to be thankful for even the most subtle of hints, of the qualities of the human spirit I admire; for sustaining my faith.

May I remind myself of this periodically.
