That's right! Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana, (the birthplace of Knights of the Dinner Table and HackMaster -- a geek mecca) refused to treat Erin Vaught (who is legally female) who came to the ER with her wife and child to find out why she was coughing up blood!

Edeyn Danielle J posted about a wrong number, and I immediately went to my blog and found this gem... it was too long to post as a comment, but just about right for a blog of my own.

But internet is hard to come by -- and no power plugs where there is internet, so no long periods there! At least for now. In about 3 weeks when I'm in Melbourne, I should be more regularly online!

Okay, so. In February 2009, I asked for some help to make sure I didn't end up homeless. Thanks to PayPal's being... difficult, none of the extremely nice folks that tried to help me out were able to do so and anyone that sent me anything was refunded about a week later.

My mother's loot

Edeyn Okay, so... my mother's birthday is usually in the 2 to 3 weeks around Mothers' Day. This year, it was exactly 2 weeks before.

I love my mother, and though she's sometimes ashamed to admit to me being her child (let alone daughter instead of son), I know she loves me. I mean, there's a LOT of reasons to be ashamed to admit being related to me...

Laughter works better than Prozac or Zoloft...

Edeyn Okay, so I've had a rough week. I don't need to grouse more than I have, and steps are being taken -- no, I'm not suicidal... if that matters to you, thank my belovéd for providing me with a reason for living.

But I was so far down that I cried until I had no tears left. Literally. I mean, I was sobbing and wailing... but there were no tears left to come out. I exhausted my tear ducts. So... today, we (roommate and I) found a bunch of INANE but fun jokes on YouTube ... some are old, some aren't, some are horrible groaners, some are laugh until you can't breathe, some I had heard (or even told) before, and a some were brand new to me.

I received my communication from the Australian Embassy in Washington, DC, this afternoon informing me that I do not measure up to the selected criteria. I am apparently of the type that is a risk of becoming an illegal alien.

Edeyn So... yeah. Some of you may remember a short story compilation involving TG situations that was soliciting stories, it was posted on here about a year ago, give or take... it was called, "Scheherazade's Façade" and you could enter as many potential pieces during the submission cycle (01 November, 2009 to 28 February, 2010) as you wished as long as each was a separate submission.

Panick Attack

Edeyn So... the reason for the panick attack isn't really important. But. Last night I woke screaming and ended up rocking back and forth on my bed hugging my knees for about an hour... or five.

What I'm asking here, is if I'm the only one that has this problem. Am I? I mean, I'm able to handle things most times but I have little moments in my life and memory that are essentially me taking a brief vacation from sentience.

To those that hate series stories

Edeyn You all know I love you, anyway. Heh. This is to those that like series, too, by the way. And yes, I will be getting back to more writing, on even my older stuff starting this week! School is finally giving me a bit of breathing room.

But! My latest offering, Aisling was thought of specifically with those that hate series in mind. It's a limited, or mini- series, if you will. It will be completed and in a relatively short amount of time. The title will let you know that it's finished when it is -- which will be ASAP!

Edeyn Corey Haim found dead at 38, 11 March 2010...

Wow. I grew up watching the Coreys in just about everything. The Lost Boys. License to Drive. Dream A Little Dream.

... and of course the string of endless B (and C) flicks. It's kind of like a part of the 1980s just died for me. I know he grew up to be a drug addict, but... come on.

Edeyn Okay, just so folks know what's going on... My typing speed has slowed. Dramatically.

It's infuriating.

Anyway, I am still working on things, but I can type somewhere between half and 2/3 as fast as I used to be able to do. Faster than that is not even a possibility most of the time, and when it is a possibility, it hurts to do it. A lot. Like me cradling my arm and weeping uncontrollably for about an hour painful.

A bit of advice for authors

Submitted by on

Go through your story list, and make sure all of your one-shot, solo stories are marked as such!

When the update that allowed stories to be set as either series or solo was put on the site, the default setting is series. If you want your solo stories to be able to be grabbed by the "Five Random 5olos" feature (which is pretty awesome), then go through all your solo stories real quickly and make certain that that ARE marked as solos!

Plea for help from anyone in the Detroit / Port Huron area!

My deadline for retrieving my belongings has been rather suddenly shortened from the end of January to MONDAY (December 28th, 2009) -- is there anyone in that area or close enough that would be willing to retrieve said belongings and store them for a month so I have time to mount an expedition?

PLEASE?!?
