Posting this just because I have no idea when they invalidate your account. Don't really think I'll start blogging again. Have made too many promises in the past.

Okay, I have almost finished my helpless animal story, but what with Blue dying I don't feel much like putting the finishing touches on my animals getting torn apart. I'm just not in the right mindset.So I'm posting links, the last refuge of a lazy scoundrel. Lord Aos already posted this, but I swear I found it first!FCC and Pretty RedheadsAnd also, this great combination of Firefly with music

I plan to come back to blogging by sequentially writing short stories that are the opposite of the the overused plots that Pixie identifies below. The following is copied directly from her blog.Top Ten Overused Plot Lines in Children's Literature **1. Boy (or girl - less common but equally overused) discovers latent magical powers.2.

My internet at home has been down since Saturday. This is day 5 people. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it much longer. If you never hear from me again, you'll know I've taken my own life due to depression caused by internet porn withdrawal.

This week has brought about a bunch of revelations so you'll all have to just sit through yet another long-as-hell-self-absorbed blog o' mine. 1. Endings. The play ended, I had a super time doing it, met many lovely people and may actually end up being friends with a couple of them. It was a strange thing, to get back into acting after so many years. One of the differences being that, with dance,

It doesn't take long for things to get wetter, sloppier in that good way, and more playful. Hands now slide freely across abdomens, upper thighs, and ooh inner thighs too.

Okay, I've been trying to avoid all the shit I have to do today so I re-read some of my first blogs and will say that since July 2003 I have learned at least this:1. How to put more effort into spelling in my blogwriting2. That BoyButter is the best lube for anal sex3. That not all boys are big enough to block your nasal passages when deep throating them.

Yeesh, missed another Sunday Scribblings, but really I am quite busy at the moment. I'm in a play, for anyone who hasn't heard. It's quite good, even if I can't act anymore, all of the other people in the play can so I would highly recommend you come and see it.It's a comedy/satire about the Canadian Maud Allan, who was the first woman to play Salome in Oscar Wilde's play of the same name. It was

When I am old and grey, I shall not wear purple, because it will most likely still look like crap on me. In this age of eccentricity, I will wear wine red and olive green ooh and lots of deep orange. I will own cats, some goats and one surly turtle. I will live in Santorini, unless this precious island has succumbed to earthquakes, in which case I'll probably have become a mermaid in order to

Age 6: watching my Mexican aunt (by marriage) consume whole hot peppers from a bowl as she watched television. How cool is that?Age 10: one of the cocky, melodramatic neighborhood girls insisting so hard that she could handle whatever degree of hotness that my father, the consumate lesson-teacher that he is, finally gave her (age 9) a cerrano pepper from our garden.

Can you believe I lost my virginity to this guy? I came across a recent picture of him on my old friend's flicker site and, have to say, he looks like a fucking supermodel in this shot. He didn't look this good when we slept together. Not that I'm complaining about how he looked back then either...nice bod, great cock as far as I remember. It was, oh god, 14 years ago. My memory is a bit fuzzy.So

I just missed being able to sit at a table across from Captain Tightpants. I would've been sitting with my coworkers at this table if not for a couple of stupid belly dance gigs.My life has lost all meaning.

Actually, the story of love between the Mayor and Giles is finished, but before I put it up I have to recount the tale of Mrs. Peacock's birthday. This past Saturday, we rented this city's only Fire Truck Hot Tub to drive 12 (10 women, 2 men) of us around in celebration of Mrs. P's 30-something years on this earth. May I say, should anyone be looking to rent one of these puppies, it is well worth

I can't seem to get back in the swing of the blogging thing lately. I think it's because I haven't been dancing as much, which just slows me down spirit-wise. I'm not taking as many classes because I can't afford to right now, but it's sorta killing me. On the bright side, there have been workshops, the one this Sunday was filled with monk-inspired excercises that made me very very tired.So I

Well, it's a little late for last week's Sunday Scribbling, but in the spirit of getting back into blogging I'm gonna do it anyway. News. The word just doesn't seem to fit what it describes. The word implies newness to me and the news never feels new. I read about politics and murders and disasters and they just seem like the same old stories I've heard a million times before, with the names and

I keep wanting to get back into Sunday Scribblings, but really I can't do it with the dark topic they have this weeks as even I'm getting bored with my ramblings on depression. And when I'm getting bored by the sound of my own voice, you know I've really been talking about something for too long.Besides, I know all you gossipy little people are just wondering about my first crush contacting me.

Hello all, nothing huge to report, just wanted to say I'm still alive. I will commence posting regularly again now. Just had a bit of an off spell. Coping mechanisms seem to be kicking in faster and I'm recovering from small bouts of depression with some modicum of efficiency. Basically I've been dancing, but not enough, and working, but not enough. And far too little snuggling has been going on.

So where are the promised posts from my other questions that arose from reading Mean Boy? I imagine you've must be frantically asking yourselves, awaiting my answer with baited breath :)Well, I had to give Mean Boy back to the library (mean library, always asking for stuff back) so I don't have the quote on me, but at one point one of the soft spoken professional poets and the main character (who

Belly dancing is the only thing that makes me cry in public. Warning to non-belly dancers, you might not really get all the names and stuff I'm referring to here, and I'm just too emotionally and physically exhausted to explain right now. This weekend was the Ariellah workshop that I convinced my troupe to put on. It was incredible, I have never been so sore, she worked our asses to a nub (if

Well, in a stylish room anyway, I actually behaved like a brazen slut most of the evening.I like to create big birthday bashes and celebrate me, and this would not be possible without my very good friends.

All I want to say today is that I have awesome stellar amazing fantabulous friends who managed to spoil me rotten today, even though I worked an 12 hour shift.Weird birthday happening:my older, and until recently very

It's been bringing up some questions so I'm gonna be doing the next few blogs about some of those questions.The first one is about poetry. I don't get poetry. That doesn't mean I don't like it, it just means my mind doesn't seem to be able to comprehend something about it, its forms or how to analyze it. I like quite a bit

A fresh start. The phrase has been given such a self-help book connotation that I am loathe to use it, but it's what I feel is happening for me right now.After some ludicrous dealings with my landlords yesterday, I am done with the old apartment. The apartment that saw me go through the worst years of my life. And I never realized how much it affected me to keep going back to the same place that

For the Chronicles challenge on Sunday Scribblings (can everyone congratulate me on trying to do something creative and not writing on the Methos chronicles from Highlander: The Series) I've been struggling with how to tell this story for quite some time. I think the chronicle idea might be just the fit. I was extremely ranty about this story for some time, perhaps the chronicle thing will help

I'm pulling a 12 hour work day today, but I couldn't let the whole day go by without wishing everyone a happy Robbie Burns day.I've been named an honorary Scot, so I might lose this prestigious title if I let the day go by unmentioned.God how I'd love a deep fried haggis from a chippy in Glasgow right about now.

Uh oh, the Sunday Scribblings this week is "fantasy" and she wants us to discuss the genre. For a girl who lives for fantasy, is a total geek, and is doing an MA in Comparative Literature in Children's Portal Fantasy, and who is, on top of all this, extremely long-winded, this could be a long post.Or I could just copy paste something from a debate on Kirtles' blog about the validity of the genre.

Okay, I know I know I'm very late with my Sunday Scribblings thing.This week's prompt is "idea" so I thought I would finally put up the pics from an idea of mine. I had the idea to go to New York which led me to take Ariellah's Darker Side of Fusion workshop, which led to me loving gothic belly dance, which led to me doing her choreo and getting Jodi to come up with an additional one to perform

Two more entries in my challenge of describing a french kiss (with the word tongue in it). I like the story of the first one, but I think the actual tongue action is better in the second. The two authors shall remain anonymous unless they tell me otherwise. "I can't fuck you" he says "I won't"."So come in and don't fuck me" She grabs him by the belt and pulls him through the door. She stops short

To Kirtles, thank you for making me laugh with this entry for the "describe a french kiss with tongues" challenge (note this is after I had said that perhaps it's so hard to describe well because "tongue" is not a sexy word):Their two tongues touched in a warm, wet tango of tonguiness. In their separate yet united mouths a bilingual party of lunging, licking, and lapping exploration of taste buds

This week's Sunday Scribblings is kissing. I was going to try to write something creative, but actually I've been wanting to post about people writing about kissing in all the erotica I read. Some people really have describing kissing down, they really get how to do it. But no one I have read has ever described french kissing well, actually if I read one more description of "tongues dueling" I

Destinations are few and far between in my life. Hmm...that's not exactly right. It just sounded all romantic.I have no real destination in mind, no goal to work for, no finish line to race for. Certain winds attract me and I let them take me to beautiful places, but I don't ever think "I need to get to this place, I will find a way to get there." I'm not a particularly motivated person.

I used this weekend to recover, from a lot of things. I got some rest and caught up on some stuff and just felt generally more relaxed than I have in a good long while. A really good long while. It didn't feel like a manic phase of my depression, I just felt a little lighter is all. It was nice.I also managed to get some christmas cooking done. *pause while I wait for at least a few of you to

Life is insane until Monday, when I shall happily return to blogging banal bits of benevolent and not-so-benevolent bites of my life.Until then, I went to elementary school with this totally cool chick, Nikko Snyder, who I googled a few years back and found she was still totally cool doing this mag called GoodGirl.

Sounds about right.But before you run out and take the superhero quiz yourselves, I'm wondering if any of you still on blogger have tried out this new blogger thing.

A huge thanks to Jodi for helping me out and doing this with me. It was very exciting! Though next time somebody please remind me to shave my armpits.

Thank you to those who took up the challenge. Kirtles and Kanga and Ass, oh my! The month is not over yet, so mayhaps more of you will join us.Well I've spent the last few days totally vegetating and being an irresponsible pathetic geek. Veronica Mars is very addictive.

Well everyone, after my graphic description of self love, I found Ass of Steel mentioning masturbation on his blog too. Now with Kanga on the November blog challenge I'm thinking I can convince her to write about touching herself as well. Folks, waddaya say?Perhaps I can start a trend this month?

Little Miss Sunshine - an american feelgood film that actually made me feel good. Yes people, I finally got to see it. The saga begins months ago when I received not one but two free tickets at two different times to advanced screenings and had to turn them down because I had dance class.

Just so much stuff to do, so many performances. I don't usually use titles on my blog, but I couldn't resist quoting Ronnie Burkett's new show. And it relates.

I need to post about this book I read, but mayhaps this will not be the most in depth post as I had way too much fun last night and need to go get some grease in my belly to settle the alcholic badness. However, the badness is worth it as I had a fabulous night with the two ladies I admire most, but I haven't drank or shmoked that much in a while and I usually don't mix the two, but it was

Okay, I'll review books tomorrow (YA fantasy must-reads for the fall season).

Back to my much less odiferous but kitty-less apartment. NYC was lovely, the first vacation I've had in ages and hey, no funerals or hospital visits so perhaps my curse is lifted!I learned much about belly dance in all my workshops with Ariellah and Sarah Johanssen Locke (her dancing reminded me a lot of Renata's), and the saw a fabulous performance with many astounding alternative belly dance

I'm off to NYC for a bit, so there will be no blogging for awhile. I wish you all a lovely week. Thank you for all the sympathetic emails and comments.Coming home to an apartment without Katie is excrutiating, but now that I'm more in the world again, the world seems to be giving me gifts again. Had a new friend force me to get all dolled up, get quite stoned, and go see Phantom of the Opera.

I put Katie down this morning. Of all the miserable things that have happened since last September, this has been the worst. I can only say good things about the people at Edmonton Holistic Veterinary clinic - they have been amazing throughout Katie's entire illness and the whole place was in one big sob session this morning as everyone insisted on being present to see Katie through this. My vet

The following was just one of the many amusing paragraphs in a spam email we got at work today with the subject line "collusion parka." What followed in said parka email was some stock info and then what I can only assume is some very odd medical erotica.A gentleman always obeyed the rules and said the correct things and made life easier for a lady. I wish he'd bring in more hospital supplies and

Catch me and mine dancing on Breakfast TV with Bridget Ryan on CityTV tomorrow morning at the ungodly hours of 7:00-9:00am.I may still have pillow creases on my face at that hour, but hopefully all the tribal markings will cover them up.

One of my old compatriots in linguistic whoring is touring the world right now with his super cool girlfriend - their travelblog is now a link. It's so lovely to see all the pics of different places and the fun times. Travelling is just the funnest thing ever.

Poor guy who told me that Mr. Fillion was doing improv this year almost lost an ear as my shrieks of "Captain Tightpants is here!" broke the sound barrier.We've decided to do one more day of busking so tonight from 7:00-9:00pm is your last chance to catch us ladies and gentlemen.Plays to see:Identity, The

My feet are black and sore, my muscles ache everywhere, there isn't a single part of me that isn't covered in sweat, the false eyelashes are starting to really get on my nerves, and my throat is raw from barking.I think I may like busking more than anything I've ever done in my life.I think maybe I do need to join the circus.

Well today was my first busking experience. I had a good time of it and I think we performed well. We're not overly prepared in terms of technology (we could use better speakers and a mic, my italian heritage can only get me so far in terms of volume of voice, plus I'm only half italian and the costa ricans are a pretty quiet bunch) but it all seemed to get ironed out. We got a great crowd today.

The Good and the Ugly:Criteria by Timothy Mooney was fabulous. The idea behind the plot is not entirely original (gee what will the US turn into in the future? let's discuss this more), but the script is great, it's funny and reasonably thought provoking without being too heavy handed about anything. But what really makes this show is the acting, this performance ranks among the best I've seen at

Reviews:The Christian Brothers was well-written and very well acted, the best performance I've seen thus far. The only reason I'm not totally raving about it was because the theme just wasn't something that I personally was interested in. The reason I went to see it was because I like shows that deal with teaching, and I loved how hard this guy tried to really be a teacher to the boys. It was sad

Frozen asses were able to be warmed whilst my inner zen ran away into the wilderness.Such were the results of a rockin' girls' night. I got home exhausted from dance class, but decided to live on the edge and go out with Pixie and her friends last night. After a rather nerve-wracking car trip, we took a mad dip in the legislative pools last night, while the wind storm raged. It was warm as long

I just finished getting through the Buffyverse and I thought this event should be commemorated in some way, why not with a blog entry?I've been buying the seasons of Buffy for quite some time, spending little bits of saved money on them. I now have all 7 seasons and season 5 of Angel (the best season of Angel) and I just watched all 8 seasons sequentially. I think it took about 2 months. Bloody

Okay people, after having spent my unexpected 4-day weekend reading everything on Barb's site, I have lost all hand-eye coordination and I've changed my Spuffy link to her page. Now Herself is an amazing writer and I loved her fics but ...oh what the hell I'll have two Spuffy links. They're both just too good. Barb's stuff is much more canon based, her characterizations are perfect and sometimes,

Quite happy right now. Am sitting here quite tipsy (having long ago lost the fear of drinking alone), listening to the best album ever given me (Ascenseur pour l'echafaud by Miles Davis) and reading an excellent, novel-length Spuffy fic which you can find here. I find jazz and pornography go quite well together(though it's only rated R and the first 12 chapters are PG-13, I'm getting soft in my

Phew, I'm back. Well, at least in body. In spirit, I'm still in Neverland trying to recover from a week of funeral, cleaning the old house (old men don't take very good care of their fridges), and dealing with my schizophrenic uncle. For some reason, I seem to be the only one in the family on the correct wave length to deal with schizophrenics - not sure why that is. Perhaps it has something to

'What will your obituary say?' at QuizGalaxy.comWell, given the amount of the death in my family, I thought it only appropriate to put up an obit of myself. I actually think I'll use it for my real obit :)As per usual, I have to make tactless light of everything. You'll have to pardon that, but all who love me know that it's my way.

It's Canada Day and I sit with strep throat for the 2nd time in the last 8 months. Yeesh. No fireworks for me.I saw Superman Returns last night. I shall try not to have any spoilers in this. It was cheesy in parts and hugely optimistic and Superman sure is strong, but did I buy it? Lock, stock and barrel.

There have been a few little snapshot moments recently that have made me remember the good life. Most of them have to do with kids, scarily enough. I've been working in the kids section of the bookstore recently and the demanding and snotty adults coming in make me want to do nasty things with blunt instruments, but usually the kids are a lot of fun. Even the very destructive little boys that

Well here I go with the blogging again. I'm actually quite confident that I'll keep it up a bit better now. For awhile, I just had to coast through life because it was all I could do to stay afloat, let alone take life by the horns. But I've gotten back to the grabbing the horns bit and so I'm thinking I'll take some more initiative on this. I shall write more soon. Perhaps even share some of the

Hello All - well here I go again trying to start up this damn blog. I don't quite know why I can't let it die, but I can't. Since September, my personal life hasn't been really blogable just because I don't feel like "please feel pity for me" blogging and there's been a lot of death and severe illness surrounding my life. However, outside of my personal life, the belly dancing is always keeping

In Fond Remembrance of Me by Howard Norman is quite lovely. What a godawful way to start a blog, "quite lovely?," sweet jesus, I sound like Jessica Fletcher writing a book review.It's basically one man's recounting of a woman in his life who made him see the world in a different way. The way he writes about her is not too twee or nostalgic, it's just describing his own ignorance when he met her

So what have I been reading today? What else but party websites. Not the good type of party, the political party. God this election is depressing me. Happily though, I can say in all honesty that the NDP website kicks butt on the other two leading parties, not in terms of design (because they all suck design-wise) but in terms of language. Whether or not you agree with with the NDP content, they

My nona died late Wednesday night. I'm sad about how much other people are going to miss her, but I think she's happy to be rid of this life. It wasn't a very good one for her and I don't know what happens to those who pass away, but whatever it is, I hope what she endured in this life has made her worthy of some ecstacy.I often wondered, when she was alive, what kind of person she would have
