Is it just me, or are some of the most difficult stories to read the ones you wrote yourself? I'm going over a story I'm working on to make sure that I've got everything straight on paper, as it were, and I'm finding it slow going. This isn't because it's long or hard to read or anything like that, but because I know what I intended to write, or what I want to be there and completely miss where I left a word or line of text in from a previous version of a scene, or I don't see where I left a gaping hole in the plot after changing my mind about something.

It is currently day 3 of my Florida vacation with my parents and my cousin, and a vacation means that I actually have the time to get back on the site again! Woo! But that time shall pass by briefly, as once I get back to Ohio I need to get back on my work/school thing.

Even with the tail end (at least, I *hope* it's the tail end) of a sudden squall is passing overhead as I'm typing this, it's been fun thus far and I'm looking forward to the sunset sailboat cruse that's lined up for tomorrow, pending the weather.

For those of you who are wondering... I'm not. Not at the moment.

I can't recall the name of the story or the author, but it's about a young man who was in a motorcycle accident in the "present day" and slipped into a comma. His parents placed him into some kind of cryogenic storage thing and the doctors pulled the brain and transplanted it into the body of a young woman a couple thousand years after that accident. Any ideas on which story this is?

Just clicked the Four-Years-Ago link at the top of the site and found myself a bit... stranged up is as good a phrase as any I can think up at the moment, I guess, by the fact that just a little bit ag, Ang posted the latest Bike and there on the four years ago page is Bike #463, third posting down from the top. For some reason, that kind of struck me a bit. I know I wasn't around here four years ago, but still... The more things change, right?

Just to keep all who are interested informed, Dustin and I are still working on A Tale of Two Sirens. He and I both had real life get in the way for about a week and after it was all taken care of, we decided to avoid being in this situation again by not posting any more chapters of the story until all is said and done on the writing side of it.

So fear not, the story is very much alive and well. Things are acutally looking to get very interesting in the near future for Ashley and Danielle, so please stay tuned. ^_^

My research paper for my English class has me making a 1800 word paper arguing for something, and I've chosen to write about Gender Dysphoria. I say this because I seem to recall there being a blog on here with a link to an article about GD and I'd like to include that article and their sources, but I can't find it anymore.

Does anyone remember who's blog it was?

I'm at a bit of a crossroads with the writing here...

I read Dorothy Colleen's entry called "A Tapestry of Stars" earlier today and I felt compelled to share something with you all. Before I do, I need to explain something. Every star on the tapestry mentioned in that story represent all of the TG men and women who have been murdered for being who they really are in the area the story takes place in.

I wanted to try and guage the potential reaction before I actually write and post it here when complete. I was thinking back on some of the stories I have read through the years and there is one that sticks out with me. It's called "King of Bandits: Jing" by Yuichi Kumakura. it is somewhat old-ish, with the first printings on the first series being sone in the late 1990's and early 2000's, with twilight Tales (the second of two series) being completed by the mid-2000's.

As much as I like to watch lightning storms, which is quite alot I assure you, the ones that have been showing up in my part of the world have been quite depressing as of late. It sucks like that. And the power is about to go out. So, here's hoping nothing too bad comes of this and the power isn't out for too long. There's a bit too much rain blocking the view of the sky, so I can't get a good view of Mother Nature's own light show.

I find that rther annoying... >_>

Minor update (A.K.A. looking for something to do less than a minute after original posting.) :

So, yeah. I'm 24 as of the 23rd. Still trying, after two weeks, to find the one part that I need to fix the mechanical damage to my car after some one hit it (Just how do you hit a parked car anyway?) and took off. No license plates on the vehical and my car isn't drivble until I get the replacement part, which I'm starting to suspect I can only buy at a dealership or something. Insurance will not cover it, as I have liability only and a S.R. 22 bond / High-risk insurance. beh, what a freacking birthday.... ugh...
