Knowing who your (true) friends are...
I once read Alexandra Robbins’ infamous Pledged, and there is one part in there that is fresh in my mind right now. This one sorority alumna got into a car accident, and she sustained some injuries, so so she had to go to the hospital. News of her accident reached most everyone in the chapter she was active in during her college years, but weirdly enough, only a few sisters sent emails and...

Figures as much...
She was a model student and a star athlete – an honest young woman in her final year at a private Christian high school, The Master’s School, in Connecticut.
But when school administrators asked her about her sexual orientation, she answered courageously and honestly that she is a lesbian.
And then those same administrators told her to withdraw or she would be kicked out.
When I read...

A new chapter?
So I went to the DMV yesterday morning…early, that is, I wasn’t about to take a huge chance of having to wait hours. And as it turned out, I didn’t have to wait that long, because it wasn’t that busy, at least when I got there. What happened was, I checked in, showed them what I needed to show them, waited for my number to be called, got called, then waited in line, got to...
Slow reception, huh?
Venturing further into the world of short stories, I worked a bit more on mine today shortly after posting again to my thread on the Writers Magazine forum. After twenty something views someone finally posted a comment…but not the kind I was expecting:
“I’d like to see more before I comment.”
Well, that is fine. But then again, the person who said this should have waited...
Short stories are hard to do...
I should know.
For the past few days I’ve been brainstorming (or trying to brainstorm) possible ideas for short stories, but the ideas I came up with are more appropriate for either novels or novellas, therefore not leaving any for short stories at all.
I have to admit, writing short stories is the bane of my existence as a (future) writer. I’m perfectly fine with novels, poetry, and...

A piece of your heart, not your mind
Let’s just say, yesterday was a very, very dramatic day. I even broke out the remaining wine I had stashed away in a Rue La La box, that’s how bad it was. (And guzzled it down straight from the bottle, no glasses were even used.)
By now, if you’ve been keeping track of my posts on here (or most of them), you probably think that I am a very melodramatic person, with nothing happy...
Time for a bit of randomosity...
I copied and pasted this from the Lauren Conrad site. And yes, it’s all my handiwork. I also added some stuff.
1. Favorite TV show? I haven’t watched too much television in a while…but I’ve found that watching The Office tends to chill me out, especially after a hard day. 2. Song I can’t stop listening to is… Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People. 3. Red or...
I will be blogging...
So shit hit the fan today…in the form of driving lessons. Who knew that driving lessons could cause so much emotional abuse?
Apparently I did not know that, until this morning.
When I first scheduled my driving lessons with the Florida Safety Council, they specifically told me that they would reschedule today’s lesson from 8:00 to 10:30 this morning. (As a side note, it’s now...
Am I really THAT desperate?
Apparently so, or I would not be looking up “being single” on effing Google right now.
Okay, so I am well aware and firmly believe (I know I’ve probably said it before) that when you least expect it, stuff is going to happen. And that includes dating, finding employment, and as I’ve realised over the past few days…future academic plans. LOL. But there are times when...
A PhD is in progress...
According to myUCF, anyway.
A few nights ago one of my friends needed to know what the course prefix was for Abnormal Psychology, so I decided to take a little trip to myUCF (where I hadn’t logged on in quite a while) and look those up for him. I did find them, but after finding out that myUCF replaced my undergrad audit with the one for the Human Factors track graduate programme. That...

Going panoramic....
Panorama means a wide, unbroken view, a survey, a continuously changing scene. The Panorama plan is for those troops wanting variety rather than specialization.
-Senior Girl Scout handbook, 1963
Once upon a time, Senior Girl Scouts used to have interests. Well, they still do, but these interests I’m talking about are quite different than the interests they have today in the twenty-first...

"One does not wear a jean jacket to sorority...
All I know is I want letters of my own. I want common symbols like kites and keys and arrows to have a special meaning for me. I want secret handshakes and candlelit rituals. I want enforced study time where I have to sit with everyone at a big wooden table and tackle statistics homework. I want to wear my shortened prom dress to a dance at a midlevel hotel somewhere glamorous, like...

Married and pregnant? Well, not me...
Yesterday, I found out that I am now officially the only person (or should I say, woman) aged under thirty in my church who is not happily married and expecting. Should I be proud and happy about that? To be honest I am not completely sure.
(For obvious privacy reasons and purposes, I have blacked out the last names of these individuals.)
But I am sure of one thing…this surprise...
A+? I think not!
Before now, I never thought that ordering a doll could be so much trouble.
If you ask my mother what she thinks I’m doing whenever I’m online, she would most likely say “shopping”. Which is somewhat true…I, in a way, am a spendthrift, and I do like to shop. If you mentioned “Millenia” right I would scream, shriek, and get all excited, because as a...
We are NOT a Christian nation...
Now, before any of you get on the bandwagon and start harassing me for my own views, let me explain what I am saying first.
So, today is my 23rd, and yet I still had to go into work today. At first things were nice and slow…and then things started to pick up. I work in the Dresses/Plus Size department (usually), and since I started there I’ve noticed that people like to try on...
Happy birthday, happy birthday, to me!
Well, my birthday isn’t till tomorrow…but since it’s less than an hour to midnight I figured I might as well start my celebration dance (the best I can). Tomorrow, May 22nd, I will be officially as well as legally 23 years old, and I have to admit that it makes me a little nervous.
Why? Birthdays should never make one nervous…but before I know it I will be 24, then 25,...
