I Have to Say It

I never wanted this blog to be political, and I’ll hope it doesn’t stick, but I HAVE to say it–all you people who voted for Bush, are you just afraid of a president smarter than you are? If so, you certainly got what you wanted. I’d add my comments, but I’m sure the quotes stand […]

Don't Mind Me

I’m just killing time, trying to avoid working on my novel. It’s within a day of being ready to send out, you see. And I’m scared shitless. But I gotta do it. So enough blogging, it can be neglected one more day. Maybe I’ll start writing more once I get it sent. I wish DAW

I need to learn to snarl. I’ve tried polite requests, I’ve tried leaving my piles of work in plain sight, and I’ve tried plain old “no.” Nothing works. Every single teacher, administrator, counselor and librarian is absolutely convinced I am the only person who can look up student’s schedules and phone numbers, as well as
