Alarm Clock OCD
You know how you check your alarm clock settings four or five times before you go to sleep?
No?
It’s just me then?

"Heathaze" by Genesis: Phil Collins or Peter...
It’s been a long time since I listened to “Heathaze” from the Duke album, but even in 1980, it’s clear that Phil Collins hasn’t found himself vocally as the front man of Genesis. At several points during the song, it’s indistinguishable from some of Peter’s vocals before he left the band.
Around the same time, Phil took a leave of absence from the band...

It's Extra Magic Bonus Happy Leap Year Day!
neil-gaiman:
Please celebrate Leap Year Day in the traditional manner by taking a writer out for dinner.
It’s been four years since many authors had a good dinner. We are waiting. Many of us have our forks or chopsticks at the ready - some of us have had them ready for days. We will repay you by drifting off while the food is being served and then suddenly scribbling something down on a scrap...

Great End to a Rubbish Day!
I feel great now. It doesn’t make sense, but it is what it is. Thinking through how I feel about step-grandma’s passing helped me get rid of a lot of residual guilt. There is this compulsion we have to put people on pedestals when they die, but she doesn’t deserve it and I won’t live a lie by propping her up that way in death.
I also had a big anchor removed from my neck...

Processing Enmity After the Death of a Family...
This is what I’ve been doing all day. Despite other bad things going on, I’ve spent most of my day laying in bed and processing the enmity I still have for a recently deceased family member.
My step-grandmother died. I call her that, because she was my grandpa’s last wife, and we weren’t of blood relation. She’s the person I called grandma when I was little, despite...

Now Reading: Neil Gaiman's American Gods
My recent Amazon haul and subsequent book porn photo resulted in a lot more votes for Wil Wheaton’s “Just a Geek” than American Gods. I decided to go for American Gods, because I’ve read a lot of Wil Wheaton’s writing, so I know I’ll like his work. All of my exposure to Gaiman is from the Sandman Comics, so I figured this would be a good change. My friend Stacey...

Starting a Dialog: Self-Harm Blogs and Tumblr's...
zombiesarejerks:
I’m disappointed in Tumblr and all of you.
Not one person has spoke up about how disturbing it is that Tumblr can just censor blogs.
You don’t want self-harm blogs? DON’T GET ONE.
No one is more disappointed in me for supporting this than I am, especially considering I write for a living, and censorship is the devil. However, I’ve been through some stuff lately, and...

Got a New Writing Gig!
So I received confirmation that I got the writing gig I submitted some sample pieces for back in January! I’m very excited, and it’s another writing opportunity that will take me WAY out of my comfort zone, which is IT and mobile industry technical writing. I’ve also been doing more creative writing, and I hope to post something here when I am comfortable with it.
I’m...

A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some specific kinds of content...

Follow You, Follow Me
Yes. It’s a Genesis lyric.
I’m also happy that I got a few new followers lately, and have managed not to lose any!
Oh and Deadpool Loves Bea (deadpoollovesbea.tumblr.com), I had to follow you, because your site name is awesome. The only thing more awesome than Spidey or Deadpool is Spidey and Deadpool together. I am going home and putting on my Deadpool shirt for you, sir.
BTW, you...

writing the wrongs …
onwardupwardeverforward:
the urge to express is a stifling state for surge and regress is an endless affair the purge of duress is a trifling fate emerge nonetheless on the edge of despair
endlessly sentenced by sentences scrawled events that incense rend us bent and appalled senselessly sent hence past tenses recalled relenting dissenting in stutters and drawled
despite all the effort one...
