Fiction Friday

All the old stories are false. Fantasy, legend twisted from real incidents. Not all Werepeople are good. We are no different than humans. Good and evil run rampant in both races. And there are others. Other races and breeds that walk among humans. The humans never know.

But this is no way to tell my story. Let me start at the beginning. Let me tell you about my death...

I'm Special Damn It (and not in the short bus way)

Xmichra gave me an award!!!

1. “The Honest Scrap” award is not one to hold all to your self but it must be shared!
2. First, the recipient has to tell 10 true things about themselves in their blog that no one else knows.
3. Second, the recipient has to pass along this prestigious award to 10 more bloggers.
4. Third, those 10 bloggers all have to be notified they have been given with this award.
5. Those 10 bloggers that receive this award should link back to the blog that awarded them “The Honest Scrap’ award.

I am going to add that I think this award goes to people I find honest and funny. And to people who I find will tell you the truth about themselves, which is rare.

First off, after four years of blogging, there ain't a whole lot you guys don't know. Except maybe that I like to exaggerate with bad grammer on occasion. No wait, you probably knew that.

Also, since the stalker (note I don't even capitalize his nickname) may return at any moment, I won't be putting anything too personal here. But this sort of thing shouldn't be put on a private blog. So here it goes, ten things you hopefully don't already know that I don't mind *anyone* knowing.

1. I once had a three legged cat named Tina. Occasionally I referred to her affectionately as "Tripod". She didn't mind.

2. My mom wanted to name me Elizabeth, but my dad wouldn't let her.

3. As a kid, I wanted to name my future daughter Rebekah. My stepmom named my sister that when I was 16, even though she didn't know I liked it. I was pissed. She didn't know that either. Then she proceeded to call my sister by her middle name. :/

4. My first kiss with tongue was absolutely gross. This worried me because I thought I didn't like kissing. Luckily I found out later that the first guy was just really bad at it. LoL.

5. I now love kissing. ;) (with a good kisser)

6. I have learned that either I am attracted to someone from the first time I meet them, or I'm not. I don't change my mind over time.

7. Brianna was a planned pregnancy, Tristin was not. However, I wanted a baby before Tristin came along, I just thought I had another year to prepare before trying to get pregnant.

8. I have never met anyone who wasn't surprised to find out how old I am. I'm not saying this in a conceeded way, it was actually annoying when I was 20 and people thought I was 16 or 17. Older ladies always said I would appreciate it when I was older. And I do. ;)

9. The douche who sent mixed signals over a year ago (anyone remember him?) started working at my gym last week. At first I was surprised. Then a little annoyed. (It's MY gym, how dare he show up.) But now it's just damn funny. LoL.

10. I'm a cuddler with the right person. :) (You may know that, but I felt like saying it anyway!)


Ok, now for the giving of the award to others. I don't really keep up with many blogs anymore, and some people have dropped off blogging.

A late meme

The Queen's meme #2, found here.

Mission Impossible

1. You are a guest on the space shuttle. You just arrived on the moon and realize you forgot something back home that you can't live without. What is it and how do you convince them to go back and fetch it?
~I pout. My pout is very irresistible. As for what I left? hmmm... Oh! My camera. I forget that all the time now.

2. Pretend you are a teacher in a rough public school for one day. You have been assigned to teach Manners 101. You have the "challenging bad butt kids" class (remember this is a pretend school and anyway I can't say ass on my blog 'cause it's so unQueenly and I might get fined or something).
They are jumping up and down, cursing, and throwing things at you.
What is the first thing you would write on the board?
~You know, I'm not really good with kids. I do ok with my own. But a bunch of bad kids who don't want to learn? How about this: "Shut up and learn, or go home and stop wasting my time."
I would so get fired if I were a teacher.

3. Someone in your family or a friend has started a blog. They think it is anonymous but you have figured it out. They are saying derogatory things about you. Do you tell them or do you read it for awhile?
How would you handle it?
~Stalk them. We all know I've been stalked enough by others to know how! LoL

4. If you had one dollar left in your pocket, what would you spend it on?
~A diet dr. pepper.

5. President Obama and the First Lady are coming over for dinner. What do you serve?
~Domino's pizza. I hate to cook.

6 You walk in on your lover. They are trying on your clothes. What do you do?
~laugh.

7. Every astronaut must have shots! You only get one and you can't enjoy any of the attributes of the other choices. You choose either: (1) The fountain of eternal youth and sexual vigor but only for 10 years (2) perfect health for a lifetime (3) eternal mind-numbing nirvana and peace of mind (4) unlimited hedonism for one year with no negative consequences.
~I choose number 2. Good health is the only thing on there I have. Therefore it would be the only thing I would miss if I didn't have it.

The Queen's Meme and My Quest for Minions

Meme found here, and she found it here.

The Blog Outside The Box Meme
This meme is all about using your imagination. Free your inner blogginess. Step outside the proverbial blox (that's blog + box for all you non-blog speakers). Answer these ridiculous situational questions and post them on your own blog. Here's the situation for today. We won't tell a soul. And remember:
Don't end up in the dungeon.


1. You are in court. You are in deep doo-doo. What did you do? ('Cause if you want, I might could talk to the judge and get your sentence reduced to Bloggingham dungeon time.)
~ I was walking along being very careful and trip(over a thick piece of air no doubt) and knocked over a statue. Which then knocked over another. And another, and another. oh you get the idea!

2. Your blog just became a best-selling book . What is the title of your book ?
~ Reflections of a Crazy Bitch.

3. It is midnight. The phone rings. It is Michael Jackson calling from the Great Beyond.
What would you like to ask him?
~ You wanna be starting something?

4. You are having your future told. The fortune teller looks in the crystal ball, screams and leaves the room in fright. What did they see?
~ What I do when I finally get organized enough to have minions to do my bidding! muwahahahahhaha!

5. You're blogging along minding your own blusiness (that's blog + oh...you know) when Google unexpectedly puts an Objectionable Content Warning on your blog. Your own mother is afraid to enter! What, pray tell, did you do to warrant it? How did this happen? Do you think you deserve it? Just how objectionable are you? Do tell.
~ No doubt my potty mouth. I mean seriously, I can make fleets of sailors blush when I'm in a mood.

6. You suddenly become God Of The Universe. What would your first Commandment be?
~ Minions! I demand to have minions to do my bidding!!!

7. And finally, what secret would you like to tell the Queen?
Not to worry. What happens in Bloggingham, stays in Bloggingham.
~ Most of my minions would probably just be doing my housework. LoL.

Blame the heat

I've been so bad! Last Wednesday when I worked out it was the first time in a week and nearly killed me. So I was going to be better and go a lot this week. Two days later, on Friday I went to yoga class...

...and haven't been back since. hehe. So much for being good. My trainer had to cancel last night be cause of a stomach bug. I will go to yoga tomorrow night though. I probably will miss the Sunday class though at 2 pm. There's just so much to do on the weekends. And it's so hot I don't feel like doing a whole lot. But at least I'm not just sitting on my ass. Not a lot anyway. LoL

I will do better! If I blog it, I will do it. Right? Eh, we'll see.

Seriously

I was thinking today, wouldn't it be cool if I had minions to do my bidding? That would be awesome.

Space: The Final Frontier

I finally saw Star Trek last weekend. First I have to say, I am totally not a Trekkie. I remember seeing the original in reruns AFTER seeing Star Wars. Of course that made it seem kind of silly, but I remember some of the characters. The characters are what stuck with me. I have not even seen all of the Star Trek movies with the original cast. I was a bit of a New Generation junkie though.

The new movie was most excellent! The new people playing old characters were awesome! The actors should get awards for capturing the original character and portraying them very convincingly. Of course Kirk was the least recognizable, but come on, Shatner is too classic to copy too well. ;) I was most worried about new Spock. See, I always loved old Spock. I can even do the vulcan salute without using my other hand to position my fingers. New Spock? I luvs him too. :)

So without giving away the movie, I had many wonderful geeky-I-know-what-that-refers-to-moments. But even someone who has no idea what Star Trek is would enjoy this. It is just a great Sci-Fi action packed movie. And it has a half naked green chick. Come on, who doesn't think a half naked green chick is interesting?

Live long and prosper.

Spectacular, Spectacular

I am at this very moment watching Transporter 3. Jason Statham kicks ass most awesomely. But some parts are a little slow, hence the blog post. I may repeat some things from the other blog.

I have my first kid-free night coming up, June 13th. I'm ecstatic! Hold on...ass kicking in progress...

Ok, ass kicking over for a bit. At first look, Jason Statham isn't much to look at. But kicking ass with no shirt on? Damn.

Ok, back to the blog post. It's so hard to think of what to say here now! Jesus Christ! He's driving the car on the two left wheels...

Ah, life is so distracting right now. But focus! Ok, cool things lately:

I noticed last week that when I wear a skirt, my thighs no longer rub together. This is a most excellent thing. Also, I took the girls to the pool Sunday, and I wasn't self-concious at all. I'm not where I'd like to be yet, especially my tummy. But I have two kids, one almost as big as me. I'm looking pretty good. In a two piece!!! Of course I wore a two piece when I was only okay...but now I feel good in it! My tummy will take a while to get where it should be. A lot of it is simply damage from having two kids. But I've made so much progress already I don't mind waiting for more. :)

Best line from the movie so far: "Nope, I am not the gay."

And then he proved he was not the gay. ;)

Okay, enough rambling for now. I shall try my bestest to post more frequently now. Even though I am limited on what I can say. So check both blogs every so often. :)

Fiction Friday

A Prelude


Death is cold. It holds onto you in it's icy grip. It refuses to let go. But there is something stronger. Something only living within a few select souls. It stays hidden beneath the surface and may never show it's face. Until the soul meets an untimely and violent death. Then the beast awakens. And defends itself against death.

Movies and stuff

I finally saw the newest Underworld movie. It had gotten some bad reviews, but I freaking loved it! I was into the characters and it all fit into the other two movies well enough. Sequels generally contradict a tad bit occasionally. I thought it was really good. I would recommend all three Underworld movies to anyone who loves vampire and werewolf movies. They are most excellent. Even if the vampires don't sparkle. ;)

Four years

I totally missed my blogiversary! It was last month sometime. I have been blogging for four years. I've changed a lot and made more than one friend for life through blogging.

I love this place. It's mine. And I share it with you. :)

Too much in my head

I can't get it all organized and out!

Tonight in yoga I learned I am close to doing a headstand. I did the halfway kind with my feet still on the floor, and my teacher said my alignment from head to hip is perfect! I just need to get the balance to put my legs up. I was so tickled! I really like this teacher too, we have several that take turns. I told her I would practice at home alone. Lol.

Let's see, what else. Two birthday parties tomorrow. One of my bestest friend's little boy first at 11. Then a girl from Brianna's dance class at 1. Both at parks. But it will be fun.

And I found out distressing news tonight! T can't do a cartwheel! I'm so shamed. How has she not learned in school? That's where I learned. I shall teach her. Cuz yeah, I can still do one. I could do one before I started working out, I should be able to do it neater now.

I think that's all for now. It isn't much, and I may post in the other place laterish. I really have to clean my apartment tonight. I won't have time tomorrow during the day and it must be clean before tomorrow night. And since my vacuum cleaner is broken it will take forever to get the carpet vacuumed using just the attachments to it and the dustbuster. LOL. But as long as I get most of the fur up, I'm good. :)

If I've missed sending anyone an invite to my other blog, just email. I don't think I have everyone there yet. And I don't invite strangers, so don't bother asking if we aren't already friends.

Busy weekends

Life is all wet right now. Literally. We are having a lot of rain lately. That's a good thing, as things have been too dry in years past. But it makes it hard to do things on the weekends. This weekend we have an inside thing though. Today is Brianna's end of semester Ballet party. They had the tea party in December and today we are having Pizza, Pirates, and Pointe. I can't remember the name of the ballet she is showing today, not sure what I did with the paper she gave out. But anywho, it shall be fun. They are bringing pizza in from Tomato Head downtown. Apparently the owner's daughter takes dance there.

Also have tons of cleaning to do. I am still clearing out stuff that needs to go to storage. I have a trunkful to drop off today. It looks like I've just moved! A box of stuff too small for Brianna, a box of winter clothes, my comforer wrapped up to be stored for summer. (I use a quilt in summer, too hot for a comforter.) More boxes that need to be sorted and put away/given away/stored away. lol. Apparently the year Tristin was gone I just stuffed things into the storage room and ignored it. Hard to catch up with a year's worth of junk. She has most of a room now, and it should be empty by the end of next weekend. We are waiting for her dad to send money for the bed. He refused to send enough, said she didn't need bunk beds. So I said once he pays me what he owes for that loan, I could pay the rest. That should be coming within a couple of weeks. He has some settlement for a wreck coming, blah, blah, blah. I'm not holding my breath, but he seems sincere about it coming this summer.

Ok, off to get ready for the party. Laters. :)

Unintelligible ramblings

I realized to day that I have been avoiding something. I've pushed it aside and just flat don't think about it. It shouldn't bother me, but it does, so I don't think about it. I'm going to stick with that plan, it's working so far.

I've started wearing perfume more often. I have about four bottles I was never wearing, so now I spritz a bit on occasionally. I don't know if perfume can actually go bad or lose scent (Mich?). But it seems silly to have it and never wear it. I never wondered about what was in the perfume until recently. I looked up what I'm wearing today:

Very Sexy For Her Perfume by Victoria Secret for women. Launched by the design house of Victoria's Secret, Very Sexy For Her fragrance is vibrant and sensuous. It's the ultimate fragrance for the woman who loves everything about being a woman. This feminine scent possesses a blend of pimento, clementine, cactus flower, camellia, hydrangea, mimosa, white amber, musk, vanilla, and blackberries.

I looked up my favorite too:

RALPH LAUREN created SAFARI perfume in 1990. It is the result of the following top fragrance notes: orange, black currant and jasmine. The middle notes are: orris, rose and genet and the base of the fragrance is: sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver. SAFARI perfume is recommended for casual use.

Now, I don't know how accurate those are. I just googled and found them. Sounds good to me though. :) Mimosa! I luvs mimosas. The tree, not the drink. Never had the drink actually. I should try it. Being Southern and all. Doesn't seem right that I haven't. Damn, now I'm going to have to go google the drink.

More ramblings laterish. I also have pictures I need to post. Brianna's first bike and all. Coming soonish!

(Belated) Fiction Friday

I've had an idea for this story for a few weeks now. Late last night my brain suddenly became inspired and purged it out. It is very rough, but I liked it so I'm posting as is. I may edit it and re-post at a later time.

The Fan

He stepped inside the bar leaving the rain behind. He shook his arms to rid the black leather jacket of water then ran a hand through his hair. The rain had made him late, he didn't want to miss her. Walking through the inner doors he heard before he saw her. She sang the blues. Her voice like velvet, dark and sultry. Moving through the smokey bar he found a seat in the back. He wanted to observe her without being noticed. She wore a long midnight blue dress. It was fitted and clingy all the way down, with a slit up to the middle of her shapely thigh. As she turned it sparkled subtly in the gray room. It was backless and his gaze slid down to that perfect place at the small of her back. She turned again and his gaze shifted up to her full lips. He couldn't see her smokey blue eyes from here, but knew very well the depths of them. Her dark hair was pulled up with a few carefully placed tendrils framing her face.

It was over all too soon. Six songs a night, three times a week. He headed backstage with the single red rose as usual. He would leave it outside her door again. Maybe one day he would have the courage to give it to her face to face.

Maybe one day.
