- I'm just ... me. And this quote, from John le Carre, really resonates with me: "Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen."

Growing Pains (no, not the TV show)
I may have been born in Utah, but I was raised in California;
Southern California to be precise; Orange County to be exact.
Growing up in the land of blondes and BMW’s, I never quite
fit in during the day and that made for some angsty nights. Because
Orange… Read full post »
Mentally fluffy
This has just been a craptastic week for me - my hormones are all over the place, everywhere from tears to uncontrollable anger; and I've been fighting some sort of ears, nose, and throat infection. Because of this, I have the attention span of a gnat. (That's not fair to the… Read full post »
Art ...
... I was watching Margaret Cho, and she said something that
made my brain go, "aroo?" It woke something that's been tickling my
brain for the last few months/years, and here's my start. Am I on
the right path? Possibly ...
This, along with one of my recent posts, is a… Read full post »
TACKy Xmas redux, with photos
My Southern girls (as opposed to my girlfriends back in San Francisco) have a name for our wee circle - ACK! (This is in part because those are our initials. The second reason is because when we, as a group, are seen together our friends run the other way screaming. "ACK!… Read full post »
Across the Universe: Beatles v. Stones (again with the links
The Beatles vs. Stones query ...
Growing up, of course I had to pick the Stones - I mean, it's who
my favorite uncle liked. I mean ... The Beatles? That was SOOO my
dad's era. (My uncle was only a few years older than I was, so I
aped him as… Read full post »

Don't hide what you feel inside ... (with links at the end)
Take me out ... toniiiiight ...
Apparently I'm on a Smiths kick; embracing my old goth/punk/new wave days. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I DID listen to hair metal. It was a great escape, at least in trying to find new hair styles. Still is - a great escape, not a way to find a new coiffure. But The Smiths?… Read full post »
As the New Year begins ...
... I look towards the past.
_______________________________________
This happened to me.
No.
Seriously.
I shit you not.
It was shortly after Mom died, and Dad and I were out eating at
some restaurant in the mall. (At that time it was the
“high-class” mall. Close to 30 years l… Read full post »
This is more of a New Years weekend ...
“Welcome 2006!” At least, that was my mantra before
2006 actually arrived.
December 29 (Thursday): The then-husband, now Ex, sends me a picture text, showing the crane at our house delivering the long awaited shingles. “YAY! We’ll have… Read full post »
Damn that wine
There are times when it seems that so many (too many) words are bouncing off each other in my head that they refuse to make any sort of coherent sense; when I'm only capable of snippets. This last weekend was one where there was so much information, so many memories being… Read full post »
For the day you stood up (or, late night babble)
These are two posts I wrote a lifetime about 8
months ago. The big "D" talk had been going back and forth for
about a year prior and during this time, everything came to a
head.
Sorry, it's a bit long.

How my dog shows love
The first, just a random thought. The second was the nightcap to
my evening yesterday.

Snapshot of my 'hood
I live in the land of milk, honey, and boob jobs. Where every sentence ends with an up lilt, as though everyone is always questioning … something? The verbal stops, pauses, and connectors aren’t the silent denoters of periods, commas, and em dashes; instead they use punctuations of &ldqu… Read full post »
The difference between dusk and dawn ...
Why is it that when I *should* be getting ready for bed, my brain starts to wake up? I've always been this way, even from a very young age. (Okay, maybe the feeling of wanting to stay up all night was due to the fact that I thought an evil leprechaun… Read full post »
My house is possessed. Apparently.
I love these "if/then" arguments – especially as they pertain to belief systems. Stumbled across this today, and I just HAD to add in my $0.02 (which will be in [ ]). The spelling and grammar (and I use that term loosely) will remain intact. All typos in the brackets are,… Read full post »
Er, so. Hello!
So, this is something I wrote a while ago. And I was trying to think of what to post for my first foray into OS. Then I realized that, no, I don't have writer's block ... I have writers constipation. So, I will regurgitate something old.
Maybe it will lead to… Read full post »
