  • Instrumental?!

    Instrumental?!

    I write this as I am listening to one of my newest favorite songs: I plan to insert links to some music that I have saved specifically on my desktop. It was difficult to come up with a good title this time because I like a LOT of different genres of music. I often say…

  • Gratitude

    Gratitude

    Ambigrams are pretty awesome, if you ask me. This is one of my tattoos, which I got ages ago, inspired by my Mentor (Ursa). I was actually IN Colorado at the time of conception, when I spent a solid 6 hours drawing it. It didn’t look like what I have now, though, because when I…

  • One Favorite Moment

    One Favorite Moment

    It’s fairly difficult for me to think back and find a moment in my life that I would choose as a favorite, mostly because those are few and far between. I’ve talked quite a bit in my past entries about how much trauma and strife I’ve been through. However, the one I’m having come up…

  • My “Holy” Trinity

    My “Holy” Trinity

    Whew. This one is easy-peasy. Well… ok, getting to the point where I solidified and can actually share this hasn’t been. This “holy” trinity of moral guideposts has been forged in the fires of a lifetime of trauma and abuse, which led to a LOT of curiosity and self-reflection (and omfg the therapy), and was…

  • I Dub Thee…

    I Dub Thee…

    Madam Barnacle. 😛 Just kidding. This is my current nickname from The Boyfriend, actually. We had watched a YouTube video of a guy describing how to know a woman loves you… he described 2 things: one of them being that she bites – not for real, just does a nom on your arm or otherwise.…

  • Literary Influences

    Literary Influences

    The Bible (but not in the way you may think), The Tao te Ching, and The Afterlife of Billy Fingers. Aight. Chronologically, we’ll start with “The Bible” – as in the Christian one, specifically whatever version(s) Baptists used back when I was forced to go to Church. If you’re Christian, this probably won’t be fun…

  • I’m a Xennial

    I’m a Xennial

    Of course I remember life before the internet. I was born in 1982 and adhere very strongly to being both Gen-X and a Millennial – as my title says, a “Xennial.” So yeah. I’m old. I remember playing outside all the time: enacting whatever fantasies my brain could think up, swimming in clear creeks and…

  • Elephants!

    Elephants!

    First, I have to admit that I am really enjoying the ability to AI generate my cover pics. I find it fascinating that I can put my title in and – with a couple clicks – it comes up with something really cool, buuuuut… sometimes, not so much (why that lady has 7 fingers?!) and…

  • Sacrifices… bleh

    Sacrifices… bleh

    Lordt… aside from the traumas, sacrifices are another ginormous list of things I’ve had too much of in my life 😅 I lost parts of myself along the way to The Plague, Gravity, The Dementor, and various other “adults” that came and went. So, I suppose the biggest sacrifice I made was my sense of…

  • Oof… Freedom, eh?!

    Oof… Freedom, eh?!

    This is a bit of a tough one, because it can mean a plethora of things to each one of the billions of people on this fucked up planet. But, of course, the ask is for what it means to ME… And theeeeeen… my ADHD brain wants to categorize all the different “types” of freedom…

  • Quote to Live by…

    Quote to Live by…

    Indeed! And there’s a bit of a story behind it (naturally)… It all started when my pending divorce was near to completion (June of 2012). I made plans with a few close girlfriends and my mom to celebrate the “escape” from Gravity’s clutches. This celebration included a Girl’s Only float trip down a local river,…
