All You Need Is Love - Part 3
by Barbara Lynn Terry

Neecie stopped the car in front, and we got all of our clothes out of the car and carried them upstairs. Aileen and I helped each other put our things away, and then we sat on my bed for a bit.

"Sis, that was a wonderful shopping trip, but you are only starting to get your wardrobe. See, girls need lots of clothes so we can mix and match our bottoms and tops, and we also need to make sure that our nail polish matches our lipstick. Mom doesn't know I know about that yet." We both giggled, but we were caught in the act.

“Not now,” Leroy said. “They need time alone. Give me your card. I’ll see if I can get you an exclusive interview tomorrow. Here is my business card.”

“Deputy Sheriff Leroy Scott. Say, you’re Krista’s father,” Harry Halls exclaimed. “I thought that was her leading the cheerleaders! How did she get involved in this?”

On Your Bike (Radio series)

Here's something for fans of a certain pedal-powered form of locomotion - a series of ten radio programmes about the social and cultural history of the bicycle. It started on Monday, so there are currently two programmes available to listen to, but as they're only being made available for a week after broadcast...

The Violet Ajah : Chapter 1

Submitted by on

This is a fanfic (short for fanfiction) set in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time setting. The setting and any characters that are not original characters are fully the property of Robert Jordan, his widow (Harriet Rigby), his estate, his posthumous co-author/successor (Brandon Sanderson), and his publishers. At the end of each chapter will be posted a guide to how to pronounce terms and names -- be sure to leave a comment asking to add any term or name that was missed or that you need clarification.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose across the waters of the River Erinin. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time.

But it was -a- beginning...

Well, looking back at my blog entries, I realized I hadn't talked about how a couple of my stories came about. I suspect this kind of stuff doesnt really interest a large number of people, but it's my blog, so blech. So without further ado...

Gabi’s Internet Problem

Submitted by on

I am having a few internet problems at present. My ISP said my router was kaput, but it seems to be working okay at the moment. I shall prob change my ISP to BT (British Telecom) who have some good deals at present.

I shall persevere, however if you try to contact me and don't get a reply, maybe you could PM Angharad with whom I speak on the ’phone every day and she will pass on a message (I hope).

Hugs

In a Class by Himself-Part 1

Submitted by on

Jenny shivered in the cold draft wafting through the Emerald Gymnastics Center gymnasium and hugged herself, tracing and stroking her bare hands, peppered with white gymnastics chalk, over equally bare and chalky arms and shoulders, legs and knees, then trying to rub some warmth into the white-powdered soles of her bare feet, then coming back to rest on the soft, smooth, form-fitting Lycra of her sleeveless gymnastics leotard.

Bender Gending

Submitted by on

It seems a number of celebrants at the New York 2011 Mustache and Beard Fest had flexible ideas about gender presentation.

Frankly, I find this presentation quite heart-warming. I'm starting to believe that gentle humor regarding gender presentation is perhaps an encouraging social trend. Anything that breaks the rigid binary model is a good thing.

awkward moment with my brother

Submitted by on

Well, had an awkward moment with my brother on Friday. He stopped by to drop off some pants he bought for me, and I could tell he was feeling very uncomfortable. I think he wanted to talk about the emails we have been sharing, but he was obviously not sure how to treat me. Then he did something very odd. Taking the back of his first finger, he rubbed my belly. It was an awkward moment. I think we need a face-to-face chat, and soon.

Amazon Mottos

Submitted by on

Many moons ago, Heather Rose was kind enough to apply her talent to rendering a heraldic coat-of-arms for the Amazons. (2008??!! Egads!)

I've held it back for a couple of reasons. The last couple of years because I dropped into my emotional pit, but all along because I wanted to have a motto to complete the device.

I've climbed out of the hole enough to start trying to write again, and I feel I owe Heather Rose an effort to complete my part.

I've considered what sort of motto is appropriate and looked for historical examples.

The end of the affair

Submitted by on

That is it for Sweat and Tears, Dear Readers. My muse is dormant now, as she has been screaming at me for the last few months and has felt the need for a rest. Thank you for staying the course, those of you who could. I knwo there are some who couldn't get past the unpleasantness, but I trust all understand it wasn't written for any salacious reason. I wanted that part of the story to be as brutal as I could manage while keeping at least some restraint and tact.

Character Names - Whoops!

Submitted by on

Sometimes a character's name is important. Sometimes it defines their personality. Sometimes you just want a convenient background character, with no intention of ever using them again, and then they start to grow on you, and you wish you'd put more thought into that character's name.

I now find myself such a situation with one of my characters. Well, two, technically. This was an absent-minded moment on my part.

Conviction, what would u do?!!

Submitted by on

I just watched the movie conviction tonight wih my dad, was pretty great sad depressing entertaining serious etc. But a question that was raised in the movie made me think it myself.

If your sibling brother or sister was convicted (hopefull wrongfully) of anything that would separate the you. Would u not do any and all thing/s in your power to get them out (say become a lawyer yourself like the sister in the movie did based in rl btw)even if it meant sacrificng everyone and everything else in your life to do it just to bring them home?

So, I'm Planning a Fictional Wedding...

... And I'm just wondering, how appropriate is something like a string quartet to play the reception? Robin's "Aunt" Jane is up to something, and I'm trying to figure out how to make it work believably. This is the best I could come up with so far. ^_^

I've already spent 3-4 hours the last couple of days researching the ins-and-outs of cheerleading (with a LOT to go :-P), so I've been putting off tackling this scene to the point my muse wishes to box my ears lest I start working on it ;-)

The track feature on the user page...

Submitted by on

I've found it useful to keep track of blogs and what not that I've replied to, just to see other comments. But I've noticed that almost all of my stuff says 'upadated' or in some cases 'new' and the stuff is neither one. It's been that way since my name change. Not really critical, but I was kind of wondering why it did that and hasn't reset itself yet...

Caught!

(Based on "Damaged" by Danity Kane)

Do you want to talk about it honey

Please how do I repair your trust in me

I need your patient understanding

But you might need some time

to figure out your heart and mind

Please don't you leave me

can't live without you, see

Baby, But this need is driving me crazy

and you caught me dressed as a lady

And I know it caused you some

Damage, damage, damage

I know I should have let you know

now your trust in me is damaged

damaged, damaged

And its all my fault, I know

Over, under, or through

Submitted by on

Well, right now, its hard to not to feel boxed in. The road to transition seems totally blocked by that wonderful thing, finances. I need a full time job if I am going to make any serious headway, and between the economy,and my commitments to my daughter, its hard to find one as Todd, and much harder to try and find one that will accept Dorothy, especially since I don't pass terribly well.

OKAY, NOW I'M TELLING EVERYONE.

Of course most of you will not be able to make it. Last October 14, Arecee, MonaLisa, Rachel Anne, shalimar, Heather Rose Brown & I got together in a park in Walnut Creek, CA, when Erin was up this way.

( Rachel, shalimar and I all seem to think we had one more person, but can only name the seven listed above. I'm sorry if you were there and we are missing your name.

A number of people said, "Why didn't you tell me? I would have tried to make it," or words to that effect.
