So i love my life :D

So I haven’t updated my life in ever. So here I am J
I broke up with Ben, it just wasn’t working for me. A big step for me really.
But then a few months down the line, I realise something.
There was someone I’ve liked all along. Back when he was having issues, I was there to comfort him and well, I guess you could say I tried to deny my feelings.
Well th...

Any Opera Queens out there...?

Posted by AC Benus in Fortune and Mens Eyes, 21 May 2013 - - - - - - · 17 views

I'm almost counting on plenty of opera-watcher to be on this forum!! Because I may soon be breaking another GA glass ceiling by posting the site's first Libretto (I could be wrong, so please let me know....).

My short two-act work is a Gay Rights celebratory piece called Il Sogno di Henry Hay . It follows the sleepless night of the founder of the first s...

People Can Be So Surprising

Friendship, Strangers

Give anyone a chance, and you'd be amazed at how many of them will completely surprise you.

As hard as it is to not judge a book by its cover, to not form some kind of preconceived perception of someone when we first meet or speak, I frequently am guilty of doing this. In many ways it irritates me, as it is something that I have worked really hard to try...

Girl Takes Calculator To Prom

CSW

So, I was at dinner tonight with my family, and we were talking about my 18-year old niece's senior prom. They then talked about a schoolmate named Regina Reynolds who took a calculator to the prom . Apparently, the guy who was going to ask this girl decided to ask my niece instead. So Regina decided to say, "What the hell", and went to prom with a calcul...

I dunno but i’m just going to write down everything that is running through my head right now. but I honestly do not understand any of this.    

It started with small argument between my parents in the past year or so, slowly building up getting more and more severe over small things neither would listen to the other because the other wouldn’t listen to...

Gay marriage outrages "swivel-eyed loons"

Gay marriage

Britain's Parliament is taking off two days - today and tomorrow - to debate a bill to introduce gay marriage in England and Wales backed by the Conservative / Liberal coalition. At the moment it seems likely to go through and become law allowing gays to get married despite the "swivel-eyed loons", the description given by a senior Conservative to describ...

Oh, damn! Going to be one of those days.

Songs

I know I can't be the only one. I woke up this morning with a song stuck in my head. I wouldn't mind if it was a happy or upbeat one' but no. I got up and the song "Smile" is running through my head. Usually when this happens the song indicates what sort of day I am in for. Wonder what sort of heartbreak I am in for? :(

For those who don't know it, one o...

Pizazz

I have this thing with Pizazz Mini Fruit Slices from Cavalier Candies Ltd, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0R4 (Product of Canada, obviously). Yesterday I received a 24 oz. package of these delicious candies. I ate most of them yesterday and finished them off this morning (no, I did not eat them for breakfast, but it was close).

Then this afternoon I put together a new...

i don't like when i dislike my friends. especially the ones from home.

but they are all stuck there, kind of stuck in high school. nothing is going for them. a part of me wants to keep the friendships but another part of me wants to cut them off. they are a block to my creativity and progress. is that worth sacrificing though? they make me mad, they seem...

So, I was not going to tell this, but it is eating me alive.  My brother is retired out of the military.  He asked last weekend if he could bring his girlfriend to stay for the night. Of course, I said it was fine.  They got to my home around three in the afternoon and we grilled and visited while my hubby cooked.  They had probably been there about two h...

Need a beta and Editor for something old and new

Posted by W_L in Life is worth an entry, 16 May 2013 - - - - - - · 49 views

I know people waiting for Big Squeeze, but I can't release new chapters without some aid.

I also have begun writing a new Sci-Fi story, one that I really like and hope intrigues people with its ideas and hook.

Take a look at my request  and a short example of my sci-fi story, if you want to offer help:

I think I'm In Love

Posted by Ryan Jacobs in Squid's Blog, 16 May 2013 - - - - - - · 129 views

I've met someone who really makes me feel alive. He makes me smile. He makes me laugh. He picks me up when I'm feeling down. He gives me my space when I just need some alone time. He calls me EVERY morning just to say "good morning" and EVERY night just to say "good night."  

I look forward to hearing his voice. His smile makes me feel like smiling. He c...

Kickin' Back Into Gear

Posted by TetRefine in TetRefine's Blog, 15 May 2013 - * * * * * · 181 views

In my last blog entry, I was in a pretty rough spot. My life had fallen apart due to my own stupid mistakes, and I went into a mini-depression. I lost interest in a lot of things I loved, and my drive to do well in school plummeted to dangerous lows. I gave up going out on weekends, and just had the attitude of "I don't give a flying fuck." I started sk...

To dance or not to dance?

Posted by KC Grim in KC Grim's Blog, 15 May 2013 - - - - - - · 129 views

Well the end of middle school dance is coming up soon and JJ has not been asked.  There is a special boy that she likes, but she’s thinks he likes someone else.  We suggested that she ask him and that was a “No Way!”  We also tried to convince her to ask someone as a “friend,” but that was a big no, too. :(  


It’s not anything fancy like a prom, just...

Thoughts on Mother's Day

Posted by Percy in Percy's Blog, 12 May 2013 - - - - - - · 64 views

My mom was 21 years old when she had me, her oldest.  In many ways, I look back on my childhood and think I had a pretty regular, middle class upbringing.  Sure, we were a family with a religion outside the mainstream and we moved around quite a bit when I was young, but nothing else set us apart from the other families on the block.

The more I reflect,...

My own blast from the past

Posted by andy021278 in Andy's Blog, 10 May 2013 - - - - - - · 56 views

So tonight on Challenge TV, two of the greatest children's shows ever are being shown from the beginning.

Both were shows that every 80's child in the UK wanted to be on.

Funhouse http://en.wikipedia....e_(UK_game_show)  and Knightmare http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Knightmare

These two shows were on when satellite TV was practically unhea...
