A blog section, huh? Sure. Why not?

Well, let's start this off with one of those endless list of questions about me. Should set the tone, I suppose.



Do you usually sleep with your closet door open or closed?
Usually closed.

Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotels?
Nope. But mostly because I haven't been to many hotels.

Have not.

Where is your next vacation?
I have no idea. I wish I could afford to think about a vacation, let alone travel.

People who are either generally bored or specifically fascinated.

Nope. But if I am, something definitely isn't right. lol

Yes, actually. Not good times.

Do you ever dance even if there's no music playing?

I love it. Actually, I'm writing a screenplay right now, a part of which is a modernization of that story.

Readings of my two most recent short stories from the esteemed TheCreepyDark:





A reading of a story that I completed for the late creepypasta author, Chris Craft. Rest in Peace.

Sounds cool; will you be sharing any of it?

The readings were...interesting. I honestly couldn't stand the background music; it seemed to ruin the tone for all three pieces, especially the second...But that aside, I liked them.

Here? I don't think so. I'm doing it with a partner, and it's sort of top secret right now.

The guy is a new reader, just started doing this recently. I like background music, but it has to set the right mood. I provide him with the text, and I trust him with the rest.

Ah, got it.

The reader wasn't too bad--though it seemed like he had the same voice for everything?--but that music killed it. I don't mind background sound if it actually enhances the piece by fitting the tone or matches the reader's voice and pace, which this...did, but for a voice and pace that seemed appropriate for the first reading and less so for the other two.

lol, he's improving. Those two were actually some of his earliest. I'll trust him much more with the next one.

And actually, the second one was two separate readers for the two different characters.

lol Seriously? I hardly noticed XD The only one I noticed more than one voice was the third, but it could be my headphones; they've been acting up lately.

Hard to imagine why. lol One voice has an English accent, the other doesn't.

[Grace]

Seriously? Jesus, my headphones really do need replacing. It all just garbled together lmao I'll try and find it later when I can get to my dad's computer and use his speakers.

That might explain why the music ruined it for you, too. lol If you can hear everything clearly, it's really not that overbearing.

[Grace]

Mmm, could be. I'll have to test it out later~

[PachucoDesigns]

Sallie Mae is the biggest blood-sucking leech ever. I swear to god, I'm sure they would use thumb screws and threaten knee caps if they thought they could legally get away with it. And they'd might as well, with all of the other crap they do to you.

Yo! What's up dude? Interesting info about yourself. I see we have some things in common.

So, given my recent niche in short stories, I'm thinking that I will make my first attempt at publication an anthology of short stories centering on the same backstory. A history of urban legends trailing up the east coast, paranormal occurences that follow the wandering presence of an escaped mental patient by the name of Andrew Solomon. He is said to be cursed, that his mere presence can stir the spiritual ether surrounding our world, leaving everywhere he steps touched with a lasting darkness. It will be the tales of several people and locales that have had encounters with this man, damned and forgotten places.

I will call it "Solomon's Walk." Thoughts? Suggestions?

I've just been told that my Aunt, my mother's youngest sister, passed away this morning. Aunt Karly, I don't know if you can hear this. I'm not a believer, and I don't know if I ever will be again. But if you can hear this, I know that I've said some mean things about you. I'm sorry. I have always loved you, and I always will. You were always my cool aunt when I was a kid, and you were the best babysitter ever. I promise now that I will do everything in my power to achieve my dreams in this life. I will make you proud.

I feel no emotion about this, and this is disturbing to me. The pills and the cynicism has taken that away from me. But I will never forget you. Wherever you are, your suffering is over now. Rest in peace. I will always love you.

[Shadow Wolf]

Aw, sorry to hear that Pachuco. I have to say that I identify myself with part of your words, since I also have a hard time expressing feelings (I can't seem to cry on these things. I didn't cry at all when my grandmother died a few years ago), but that doesn't mean that you don't have feelings. I know you care for your loved ones (the fact that you wrote this proves it). My condolences for your family and for you.

And remember, we might not know each other well, but you can be sure that we're like a family here, so we'll be ready to give support.

[PachucoDesigns]

Thanks. I really wish I could be so sure of how I feel about it. The thing is, I'm bipolar. And after years of being medicated, it kind of... kills your emotions. For the most part, anyway. I don't feel anything. And I really should. I feel like a monster.
