Well, I am still alive. Mysti and I are starting to get settled into the new place, its been a few months but we're getting there, finding our routine and all that. Work is going really well actually, doing all the OT I can get and looking at ways to improve my position. I feel like Im getting to a good space. Looks like its going to be a great summer too! New photos will be up on the site

... Id really rather be dancing.I havent had much to say lately. Bought new couches over the weekend. They arrived today. All blue and fluffy and oozing of wonderful grownupness. (regretting how much they cost but hey... more grownupness I guess)More importantly I started dancing again today. I signed up a bit more than a week ago and honestly Ive been kind of super dreading it. I havent moved a

Sitting here, its incredible.Listening to the calm. The gentle even lapping of the waves on the rocks below me, like a subtle heartbeat. A quiet, calm sweeps gently over me. A deer watches me for a few moments, hesitant and nervous. Her ears twitch constantly, this way and the other, listening intently to every tiny movement around her. I sit, arms around myself and watch her, our eyes locked.

It was strangely unnerving, being here alone while the power was out... Unnerved is maybe not the right word... just plain scared.Too quiet or something... Or not quiet enough...The fire didnt help... A candle broke and set the mantle on fire. Not a big deal, I put the fire out and moved on... But it ruined my evening...Ive never been afraid to be alone, or afraid when the power goes out, or

'She drank what remained of her coffee, cold now, and lit a cigarette. The rain was once more beating down on the skylight, the sound of solitude, she thought sadly. It reminded her of that other rainy night, a year ago, when she'd ended her relationship with Alvaro and knew that something had broken inside of her for ever, like a faulty mechanism beyond repair. And she knew too that, from then

You are sitting on an over-crowded city bus. Every seat is full and there are easily a dozen people or more standing in the aisle. Three young guys, dressed in their 'gangsta' best, get on to the bus, talking loudly and obnoxiously, bragging about 'Kicking that guy's ass'. About five minutes into the ride the guys begin to harass one of the other people on the bus. What they do doesnt really

I Have a job, Im not in love with it, but it is fun, sometimes. I sent her my resume. I thought she was just going to take a look at it, give me advice, 'change this, move that...' You know.The next day, around 2, my phone rang.

I have to say it was a fantastic weekend. Very busy, but its been a while... I havent been out really partying, dancing in ages... it was great to get out with friends, starting to meet people. There is nothing better than spending all your mornings laying in the sun with a very very good book. Im so absorbed in Hakuri Murakami.

I guess Ive had enough with where Im at right now. I would love to get back into theatre. I would love a chance to be on stage again.I dont want to join the military. In the end of the day I would be doing it for two reasons, One: because I want to prove to my father (or myself) that I am capable of something worthwhile. To give him something to be proud of. Two: because I cant think of anything

There is something peacful and comforting about sitting here, curled up in a blanket watching the water.

I thought that this would be a nice surprise for her to see all her memories on the computer, as a screensaver or just generally at her fingertips.

For Alexis things were always easy. She had never really had to work for the life she got. She was naturally smart and talented. Outgoing and sweet, people gravitated toward her. Alexis was the youngest child of three, and her older brothers, Grant and James protected her, and watched over her every move. Her father and mother both had always wanted a little girl and when she finally came along

Chase was born on a quiet Saturday morning in early June of 1982. He was in birth the same as he was in life. Unassuming quiet and gentle. As a young child Chase often was lost in the background. Other boys would be running, playing tag or catch or the other games boys play, full of noise and clatter and energy, but Chase was happy to sit quietly and play with his trucks. Chase was an only child.
