Confunded
Why does it always feel like I am taking one step forward and three steps back?! When will it just be forward? Has it ever been?

Moved
I moved most of my posts back to Blogger. Sigh. Here we go again. I really prefer the comment option of blogger, Wren is there, and I just generally like the layout options. Visit me at: blasphemously.blogger.com!
Damn it. Damn it damn it dammit. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Damn.it.
Bits and Pieces
I feel so overwhelmed that I purposefully don’t write. There is so much going on, so much I am thinking about, so much to that makes me feel genuinely moved, angered, enlivened, diverted, amused, hopeful, confused, downtrodden, excited, nervous, or any other shade of emotion. I need to finish my novel. I’m scared to do it. It feels like a mountain, huge, looming ominously over my...
Back from Christmas traveling, back on Tumblr, recovering from being sick. I just got to talk to Lauren, probably my oldest friend, with whom I have not talked in years. We grew up in good ol’ BA together, getting into so much trouble and having so much fun. Her mom was the first real surrogate parent I had. Her mom was the first of many to come who shaped my life into something much...

Weddings, Christmas, and What It All Really Means
I got really good at packing some time ago. I can bust out a well rounded suitcase in a reasonable amount of time. And unlike many a girlie girl, I can survive on the basics. For example: I abhor needing to bring more than one pair of shoes on any trip. What a pain. Shoes take up so much room. The point, you see, is that I have a wedding to attend over our Christmas holiday. And that means one...
The internet makes me lonely.
"The Dark Knight" Trailer →
I am so excited to see this movie! There are practically no words. Batman was redeemed by Nolan, Bale, and Co. in “Batman Begins,” after the filth that was “Batman and Robin”. Now the awesomeness continues with another dark, freaky, pitch perfect fight between good and evil in “The Dark Knight”. The trailer has me loving Heath Ledger as The Joker. I had high...
"The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula K....
The truly great thing that I rediscover every time I read a UKL story is that her themes, ideas, and issues are all pertinent. Despite an ethereal feel, a fantasy-like quality to her prose, UKL is talking about things that affect our lives and our society even now. And it will be a long damn time until we evolve far enough beyond our current state before her stories are not pertinent anymore. Here...
I should have gone to bed much much earlier. I always tell myself that I will and it never happens. I’m a night owl. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t. I used to stay up really late reading in my closet. lol. I would turn the light on in the closet, set up a nice comfy pallet of blankets, and shove a shirt under the door so my mom couldn’t see the crack of light. I...
Bits and Pieces of Today
I have so much that goes through my head in one day, that I decided to institute a Bits and Pieces regularly. It helps me get down a lot with a little. I’ll probably be including all sorts of stuff, from thoughts to music I can’t stop listening to, to book excerpts, to funny videos, to articles, to generally anything that makes me think, laugh, cry, or respond. What can I compare you...
Excellent. Here we go.
