Like red patches? My mom got those a couple times. They told her it was an allergy, but she thought it was stress. Get thee to the clinic if it gets worse and they will give you a nice Benydril shot or some pills that will knock you out cold. At least, they used to.
I don't know, I sort of need long-time loving. My life is in utter chaos. I'm supposed to be writing a book and my laptop dies, my house is filled with strange men and dust and someone boosted my jumper cables and we are about to go on vacation and I'm supposed to cook WHAT on a two-burner hot plate that shorts out if I use two burners. And FUCK!!!!!!!!!
Am up to 67,000 words and Chapter 30. Was supposed to have finished this sucker tomorrow, however, potter shit got in the way. I am so happy to have discovered DS because the general infantile behavior among the HP fen really gets tiresome. I almost threw in the towel a couple of nights ago. Seriously, sweet baby jesus, JKR is not some sort of fucking oracle. She's a writer with some real manifest flaws. And now I'm beginning to think she is out and out stupid because she can't even keep her stories straight from one interview to the next. Like in a 4-day period! And I'm supposed to get down on my knees and revere a woman whose wouldn't know a character arc if it bit her on the arse?
Um, sorry. Venting a little wee bit too much. Anyway, have been putting Ray and Fraser through their porny paces. I have about SIX stories I want to write featuring teh boys. Can you link to kittie's DS thing? Can't find it.
If writer's critique group happens this week, the members who can't stand my writing are going to be there in force. I almost quit THAT group last go around week because one of the woman in the group objected to my chapter because I had people who are HIV-positive actually work in restaurants and do restaurants actually hire HIV-positive people. As if that weren't enough, then started to say that she would never patronize a restaurant that hired such a person. And it was all I could do to not beat her to death with my file folder. I said in a very calm voice, "Nameofidiot, I've worked in several restaurants when I was a chef and let me tell you that their are gays serving your food and cooking your food. If you honestly believe that AIDS is like the flu, where someone sneezes on you, then I suggest you hole yourself up in a bunker right now because gays comprise ten percent of the population and in this area, it's probably more like 30%!"
I've known this woman for eight years and while I knew she was sheltered, this just make me nearly stroke out.

And then...yeah life in general sucks much ass at the moment. I thnk I have gave myself a rash out of stress...it's not quite hives. Yet. Ergh. No money, crazy weird bills coming out of the woodwork (thank you CA State Tax Board...you bastards!)
I hate writing criticisms that aren't about the writing or characters at all. Is this like a group of other published writers?
Tell her HIV positive people also work in video stores and beauty salons and at about every expensive department store...so she'd better watch out. Or just do what I like to do on rare occasions (you have to be willing to maybe get in a fight though) and say, "Sorry, what was that? I don't speak Dumb Bitch."
I just got one of those praise comments where they're like...I don't usually read ____ fic but yours was...

There are several published writers. We all started off unpublished, but I got published first and since we're all writing mysteries, then two others submitted their mss to the same publisher and got published as well. Our work is across the spectrum, however, with half the group writing traditional cosy mysteries, and then a couple of us writing grittier fare. I'd been away from the group forever when I was in my depression, but now I'm back and I sort of question the value of the whole group. But there are 4 people in it whose opinion I really value so I'm sort of stuck. I was so SHOCKED. In this day and age. Doesn't she read the newspapers? ARGH!!

I get that all the time. People who don't read slash but read me. I take it as a real compliment (except for the bitch who told me that my story would have been much better if only they weren't gay). Like they are willing to go outside their careful little box because my writing is so alluring. At least *I* interpret it that way. :D
Yeah but I don't know what to say in response. Part of her thing was she doesn't believe stories where men realize they're gay when they're older (except that this actually happens in the real life....but maybe she's just read some bad Suddenly Gay fic or something), though I think I dropped enough hints that he knew before but denied it...but anywaaaaay.
I once got yelled at by a coworker enrolled in college that "We Didn't Come from Monkeys!" and we weren't even talking about religion or anything. It was awesome.
I have a friend who has some big mucky muck job with IBM. The sort of person who inhales technology. And he had to call one of their computer doctors to fix something. This guy he had to call in is the sort of person they pay a $1,000,000/year because he's so frigging smart. Picture if you will: this guy's entire livelihood is based on technology. He gets paid in one year what you and I won't make in a lifetime. AND HE'S A CREATIONIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a total mindfuck!
I know a lot of people who didn't realize they were gay until later in life. Considering how gays are treated like scum in this society, wouldn't it be a hell of a lot easier to deny, deny, deny?
Creationists are...special. For they do not understand the irony of asking you, after you point out scientific evidence type things, if you believe everything you read...as they are holding a Bible. Awesome.
Yeah exactly! I mean, the character is, I would say, uptight American male gay--joined a frat, joined the 'fraternity' of police officers etc... And he's from Texas. I'd say repression in the norm in that case. Ah well. She enjoyed it any case. I think it was the boysinskirts, which so totally needs iconing.
