A personal thank you

Hello. I would like to thank everyone at Big Closet for the wonderful assistance and support while I looked after Mellissa’s (praire_girl_64) arrangements as well as those authors whom sent personal notes to her inbox to let me personally know how they felt.

In the wake of the failed Pirate and Ninja Peace Accord (the Pirates won, blast it all!) and my misadventures of the preceding week... I will continue with my responsibilities (tentatively at first) and hopefully be back to full strength soon. Dear Diary for 10-16-7 and 10-17-7 will go up tomorrow sometime, and Pen Pal 10 (Stormy 2) and whatever else comes to mind.

I am back.

I am in vast amounts of pain.

Things did not go nearly as well or smoothly as planned and hoped.

I enjoyed myself for the most part.

I must rest.

News likely this afternoon or evening.

My sister left this morning and she was acting normal. well as normal as my family ever gets. So I guess she is not going to say anything. I don't know, maybe she did not want to bring it up with others near by. I'll just have to play it by ear.

I want to thank everyone for their support. I really appriciate it and I really needed it. So again, THANK YOU!!!

I just saw that a woman is using a junk 747 airplane to build a house. Why on earth would they junk a 747? I thought those things last a long time? "I don't understand" seems to becomming my mantra. :)

Friends:

I apologize for not being able to post the rest of the unicorn story as I’d
intended. I will be posting fairly frequently as I rewrite it, but I can’t
guarantee to be posting at specific times as I have been. The good news
is that I do type quickly, and I have a very good memory for this story.
More good news is that my editor is newly back from a successful world

Hello my lovelies:

Perhaps a year ago, an Author published a story here that involved a wife loving her husband so much that she started him along the road to transition, apparently even when he was unaware of his need to do it. In the progress of the story, she eventually has him living as a woman, and then finds him an apartment and later divorced him.

My CAT scan has revealed that the polyps in my lungs have not grown and I am Cancer Free.

Yyyyyyaaaaayyyyyyy !

Ran across this pic which has sharing code, so I decided to share:

I have read Janet Stickney stories and from reading them, I have a few story ideas where a young man transitions into a woman. I need help to make sure that I am not plagarising her works. That is not my intent. No, having read her stories, I have wanted to write stories in a similar vein. Is there anybody that is willing to help?

George Carlin has died at age 71.

That's what the title of this blog is all about... he gave us the "Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say On Television" and the three auxiliary words. I listed the seven (minus vowels) and the last three are the auxiliary.

With that vowels intact that would be:
Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits, Fart, Turd, Twat

I am extremely cross that I've lost tonight's episode after taking two hours to write it. I think I'm going to have to do them on my own puter and paste them. I won't be doing a rewrite tonight. So much for f*cking technology!

A very pissed off,

Angharad.

I have several new stories in various stages of completion but there could be a long delay before I post them. And they need first to survive editing; that's one very bumpy ride. They've still got the bruises from the first visit.

The rest of my life also intrudes and needs to be dealt with.

Today, 22nd June 2008, is my birthday - I am SIX years old.

What could be more appropriate for a TG website than a TV channel? :) So there it is, lower left of the front page, courtesy of those bad people at YouTube -- a transgender TV channel, if that isn't a tiny bit redundant. :)

It's an experiment so it may not stay up forever. We'll see. It's really an advertisement envelope, so it could be really really bad.

Hugs,
Erin

I can hardly believe it. In just a few hours, I'm going to be getting married!

I was just listening to one of my favorite tracks by Billie Joel, We did'nt start the fire:

Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio

Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television
North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe

Rosenbergs, H-bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, "The King and I" and "The Catcher in the Rye"

This will probably make me unpopular, but...I don't like drabbles! If I'm gonna click on a story, I want a STORY...not a short article. Sorry. That's the way I feel.

Does it take talent to do drabble? Of COURSE! It also takes talent to do Rap, and I can't stand those either. Now I'm pretty much done with this mini-rant.

Sorry, but I didn't know chapter 35 was posted today and now it's gone, so what's up?

Sixteen drabbles. Wow.

In less than two days the whole 'Drabble Theatre' thing has evolved from an interesting title for a writing exercise to, I'm not sure what, but something much bigger.

Thanks Edeyn for making this possible, and thanks to those authors who found the concept as attractive as I did for the inclusion of your stories.

Mahatma Gandhi has been in the news somewhat this year, the 60th anniversary of his death. I came across an interesting observation about him.
As you probably know he walked barefoot most of the time, so his feet were extremely callused. He also ate very little, which led to his frailty and, with his odd diet, gave him bad breath. This made him a super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

I just want you all to know that I never intend to start a flame war. Some times I just get too excited and talk with out thinking. :(

So, Thank you all for being nice to me even when I am wrong! :)

Many blessings to you.

So, I ordered some books from Lulu, one of which was 'Headlights Girl'. I got the order yesterday, and everything was fine except for Cathy's book. The cover looked great, but when I opened the book the title page read, 'Baseball Pitchers: The Most Overrated and Underrated in the Last 20 Years' by KP Wee.

Good Evening Big Closet. I wil be sending Mellissa's Obituary. I will send this hopefully to Sephrena or Erin on Wednesday. It has been a crazy day as her apartment is all but cleared out. Alot of her belongings went to charities she was involved with and to 2 local woman's shelters within the city she resided in. Thanks for the support and the assistance.

A few questions for anyone who reads my stuff.

1. Where's the comments? Oh Cheers 3 feels all lonely and dejected with only 2 comments actually about the story.

2. Drabble Theatre? Good idea, bad idea? A drabble a day 'cept weekends sound interesting?

3. Two trains are on their way to Boston...

I'd already been out on my new bike, the carbon fibre job, which flies like a rocket when my legs have the energy to pedal fast enough. It had been spitting rain and I wondered if I was going to get caught in a deluge, like the one which prompted me to start writing 'Falling off a bike'. But the clouds passed over.

Hi Gabyfans and other folks,

only a few of you might have noticed yet - Gabyzone.com is back! Not in it's full glory, but other then loosing the changes from February to May not much happend. So it's about time to regularly check for updates there too.

Sorry to all those who were hoping for another edition of this mayhem, I wrote one last night and thought I'd posted it. Obviously, something went wrong with the process and I went straight to bed, so I didn't check it out. I'll have to do another 318.

apologies,

Angharad.

Good evening Big Closet. I have now been informed of the funeral for Mellissa Dawn Northe. The date will be friday June 20th at 2:45. Her service will be private and with a few close to her that have confrrmed that they will attend. On a personal note. I am very overwrot with emotion here and I am hopeful that my few typo's are forgiven. I have never had to do this before.

I wish to personally thank those that have assisted me over the last few days on Big Closet. The wonderful Writers here and the admin staff have been so warm and supportive. Thanks to Sephrena, Stan, John, Holly, Cristine. There are many others I cannot off habd remember as I will over the next few days.

I wish to thank you all for your kind and thoughtful words for my freind. I shall miss her deeply too. Her life has many lessons upon which we all can learn from. Her spirit and legacy to all those that knew her will hopefully live on. I know that they will carry on with me.

Good Evening every one at Big Closet... My name I Melanie....Yes that melanie, from the Autobiography by Prairie_girl_64 AKA Mellissa N. I am sad to report that the wonderful woman whom I knew has passed away due to complications from here surgery of the liver. I am sure that she was a contributor as she waas in her life. She passed away on tuesday evening after succumbing to a heart attack.

There Are several authors that have written superb stories posted at other sites yet are not posted here. These authors were and are pioneers of T.G. fiction.

I have read their stories at the other sites and have often wondered why they have not availed themselves of the chance to post their stories here?

It is theft. Just because one lacks any creative capability, is not a reason to lower oneself to being a thief and a liar.

Yes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery -- but mockery is not.

I asked Piper to provide a way so the community can donate to help with expenses and whatever financial assistance she might need right now. The box is in the top right column right now and for the next week or two. After that, you'll still be able to find it here if you aren't able to donate until later.

'Oh, Cheers Part 3: WIN!' concludes the main story and should be up by Monday at the VERY latest. I'm gonna take a break before finishing the gaming breaks to start my next work of genius, 'Hollywood'! More music, more confusion, three more months before the next 'Echoes', you get the picture.

Melanie E.

Oh, yeah- anyone wanna help me write cheesy teen idol pop songs? I'm gonna need 'em.

This morning I had things to do and wanted to enjoy a 10 -20 minute read of a complete story before starting them. I read a synopsis of one and there was nothing in it to indicate it was anything other than a complete story, although length was not indicated. I read it within my time frame but found it to be what certainly seemed to be the first part of a multi-part story.

There was a local outage last night. Sigh. So I'll be back in a couple of hours with the stuff I wanted to post yesterday and the stuff I want to post today -- getting ready to head out to lunch right now!

…but not on her BMW 1200R!

Wowee! Aunt Greta's Homework has now topped 3000 hits.

Auntie reckons it's worth celebrating in a spectacular way. Some sexagenarian!

The BC core software has been upgraded to version 5.7. This should make very little difference in operation of the site but will enable easier future upgrades and will protect against a few exploits that could be attempted on the earlier software (though we have never had such an attempted exploit here). There also a few minor bug fixes, a few of which may cause minor problems.

If you like to listen to music while working on your computer writting your great stories - check out this web site from San Diego, CA Radio 105.7 FM web site for streaming music from 1955 thru 80's Rock & Roll Hits = www.walrusfm.com then click on flag for "To Listen Live". I'm sure you will enjoy it! Richard

Could a story like this happen in real life? Yes!

Would it progress in the same manner? Probably not, but it could if the people around boy were as open minded as most of the ones so far in this story.

Okay, I'll tell ya what I'm a'gonna do...

Starting tonight, there will be two updates to the Diary per evening -- but only until we mesh the day of the week. So Wednesday night we'll fall back to only one entry per night. The date and such will still be shifted a bit over 8 months, but it will then be synced up with the day of the week it's written on.

Okay. The recent limerick thread caused me to respond in kind. But it gave me 2 ideas for twisted Arthurian tales... one set in modern times in the US... and the other set in the standard Arthur setting of Camelot, of course with all the twists and turns I can manage.

There once was a fellow named Lance,
Who could not find a date to a dance,
So he put on a dress,
Strapped some boobs to his chest,
And went with a buddy named Chance.

Yeah its lame, but I was bored. Got a better one?

Peking, June 6, 1989:

As many of you know Tieneman Square was crowded with people early in the day. They were peacefully demonstrating and demanding liberty for their country. Suddenly tanks rolled in to break up the demonstration.

Two words that say it all when it comes to excuses for missing the Dear Diary entry tonight.

I'm away from tomorrow and haven't had a chance to pack yet, so I'm afraid I don't have time to conceive and write 'Bike' tonight. I'm away for a week.

Sorry to disappoint any readers/bike addicts.

Hugs,

Angharad.
