This is the end...my friend.

Actually, you know where to find me.

Who knows? I may come back here if I need to.

But...I won't throw away my work. Let it stand.

Quick News That you Can use

I've decided to switch over to TypePad. Yeah, it's a blogging service that you pay for, but I can do a lot more with it than I can with Blogger. I was thinking of upgrading to a better blog anyhow, but what happened gave me extra motivation to get it done.

If you want to know the addy, leave me a request and an email address. I would prefer to avoid leaving it on anyone's sites, if possible.

I'm going to keep this one, though. I'll probably update it every now and then, but the other one will be my main blog.

I'm Back

I'm not sure if I am going to keep this blog up. (I will for at least a week, though, so don't worry, new renter. Long, Slow, Beautiful Dance) So before you go all sentimental on me, I may change my name (and URL) again and disappear into cyberspace anonymity as best as I can. I will always blog, but the name of the blog may change.

[This part deleted because of content.]

Just having problems. Maybe it's time to move on to other things beside blogging because people (ok, one) have a tendency to misunderstand (deliberately?) what I say. I don't know. Don't care about the waste of human space. I do know that I need less stress in my life so I can help my folks out.

My dad's ok. (How's that for a segway, gentle readers?) He pulled through surgery and is still recovering in the hospital. Things are still swollen down there--that's to be expected--but the doctor is monitoring him closely because of his Type II diabetes.

So... he's in the hospital 200 miles away and I'm stuck here, wondering how he's doing. Think I'll give him a call.

Bye for now.

I've been eating a lot for the past few days. I mean that I've been chowing down more than two people need to survive. I can't sleep. An uneasiness kicks me in the stomach and I lie awake far too late in the night/early morning.

I'll leave you guys with this song by Seether. This is so much more eloquent than anything I could write.

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

I'm leaving town this Wednesday and I won't be back until Sunday. My dad is going in for surgery on Thursday to remove part of his colon and do some more 'exploring'.

I was debating when to announce this so my horde of fellow bloggers wouldn't worry about me when I up and leave. (I know SOME of you would.) I knew I had to say a word or two, mostly because I don't like it when people disappear on me and I would never treat anyone that way.

Anyhow, I can't tell you how I feel about what is going to happen because I have no idea where my head is at. I think I'm numb.

I'm also not in the mood for truly introspective writing so I bid you good night and good luck.

Books, books, Everywhere I Go.

I hypothesize if an author has a controversial book, then she/he is doing their job by making the reader think. Good books* are supposed to make people discuss and analyze pre-conceived notions.

1984, Dune, Animal Farm, Catch-22 (I highly recommend that one!), Lord of the Flies, I AM LEGEND...I could go on and on, but all these novels have something in common. They have all shown me a different prospective and given me a warning about human nature and society. That is to say: humans and society are an often volatile mix, like hair spray and a lighter. Especially Lord of the Flies–that’s a novel where society (such as it is with boys) has broken down into complete and utter chaos.** People need society to keep our ‘inhumane’ thoughts in check and yet if we obey the laws of society completely, we’ll end up mindless drones.

Hmm. Makes me think.***

Not feeling good.

Going to curl up and not die.

Hey, I'm working on something offline. Anyone have a question? Or need advice? If I like your question, I'll answer it and put it up as a post.

Thanks!

Bat Woman is Gay! Holy Rusted Metal, Bat Dude!

Not that having lesbian comic book characters is a new idea, (Rainmaker from GenX is purportedly lesbian. Look her up. ) but I guess Super Dykes are becoming more mainstream. Cool. I like that.

Mystique is bi-sexual--and one helluva villain/sociopath.

Maybe I've read too many fan fics, but there seems to be a special relationship between Charles and Magneto. IF you catch my drift--and if you don't..Oh well. Stay disillusioned.

Oh, Frank Miller has some lesbians in his Sin City graphic novels, but they aren't main characters. Still, they are in there like Prego.

Superman...well. I contemplate whether or not he's hetero being Bryan Singer's man-crush. *Rolls eyes* I've always thought he should come out of the closet.

And I think everyone is wondering about Wonder Woman. *wink,wink*

Ugh. My brain is fried so I think that's all I'm up to for tonight.

New Renter

Got a new renter. You know the drill. ;)

I had a hard time choosing, so I decided to give a shout out to thank Bitchy Mikey Mike for at least bidding. And I'm sorry that it took so long. I do have to sleep on occasion.

Now I'm off to work. *Yawn* See y'all later.
