Abuse has a strange, isolating effect. It separates one from friends and family, from one’s own good sense and judgement, and from trust in one’s own senses. It’s debilitating. And it doesn’t always look like what you expect. Mandy’s abuser was quite invested in doting on her and showing off how devoted he was to… Continue reading A Story of the World, Big and Small
25Jun 2013 edit: you’ll want to add ‘former’ to ‘friend’ in the opening paragraph. So recently, my friend Zak asked me a question about the differences between playing D&D, and playing Monsterhearts. I play in his game every week, as well as with lots of other people that run #FLAILSNAILS games. He’d seen me… Continue reading sing along and it just might get you through
24Jun 2013 So I just read this game called Deserting Paradise. I’m kinda in love. I kinda want to grab people and tell them to play cause I wanna run it right now and it doesn’t matter that it’s five in the motherfucking am and I have a ConTessa panel tomorrow and I really really… Continue reading and what I saw I almost couldn’t comprehend
2Jun 2012 My Grandfather Skogen was in a band. My brother blames him for he and our sister and I (and mum, in her way) being ‘too nice’, but I think that was just a good thing we were given: a place to grow kind. He was also well-known as a horse breeder, and in… Continue reading Music Passed Down
20Mar 2012 This is Wembit. He came to live with me several months back, when I had determined to find a companion for Nimbus Cloud. He was (in a way) a rescue; I got him out of one of the breeder/feeder tanks at the local pet store. I needed a baby, see, and there weren’t… Continue reading Wembit
9 Mar 2012 Ratling! Got a new pet today – it’s actually a pretty interesting story. It all came from my desire to catch Stoverton…and make a pet of him! Turned out to be folly, of course – Stoverton has no wish to be kept! He likes being a kitchen-mouse, apparently… Ah well! Da suggested… Continue reading Nimbus Cloud
9 May 2011 This little bit of microfiction didn’t start out that way. In fact, it didn’t start out as anything at all. You see, I’ve recently gotten a little Android tablet, mostly for pulling up Ukelele chords and recipes in the kitchen, and other such fun stuff. I was just playing about with it,… Continue reading Blood and Sand
7 Dec 2010
I have been reading. I curl up with my Scribner Anthology of Short Fiction. The stories are very good; Brokeback Mountain has always been my favourite. I flip through the book, find stories at random, eat and drink them. I suspect there are happy stories in the Scribner Anthology, but the ones I read are all sad.
Sat, 05 Jun 2010 23:13:55 +0000 Today was pretty awesome! Everything that was supposed to happen (mostly) did, there were no (significant) hiccups, and I feel a (huge) sense of accomplishment! The last day we worked on the viddy was Thursday. Da and Jim were there, and we got all of the Judge and some… Continue reading lawyer with an eloquent tongue
Sat, 08 May 2010 19:01:57 +0000 Mother’s day is tomorrow! The day when all of us remember those fantastic, horrifying, treacherous, baffling and unconditionally loving beasts we call our mums. Many people like to observe this day, many also like to send their mater a small gift or keepsake, to show appreciation for that… Continue reading oh, you are a mucky kid
