Between my internet being a crapshoot and being sick and the boyfriend being sick it's being a little hard to log on. But I've been writing as often as possible. Read as: every few days.
A friend of mine and I are collaborating on another blog about food for college food so more on that later.
I'M OFF TO POTTERMORE!!

Hiatus is Over
I'm back from Florida and I've found some inspiration. And a wicked sunburn. So while that fades away I'm going to get back to work. I also picked up some new books, some I've read, some I haven't. Those will be discussed later. I'll see if I can put up a few pictures in another post of the PCB trip, because damn I love my friends.

Zen and the Art of Long Term Relationships
Of course when I say this, I mean in Fiction where the sun is always shining and unicorns shit rainbows. I do not claim to be a relationship expert, I am in fact very stupid when it comes to them and have been single for almost a year now in an attempt to wise up. Some of this I think is due to Asperger's Syndrome (I'll deal with any questions in a later post) and the rest is to lack of experience.
Although since last summer, I've turned into something of a maneater. Hall and Oates would be proud of me I think, though I'm not exactly proud of myself for some of the things I've done. Over the past few months I've done a lot of retrospect and insight and I'm learning how to love myself for all my fuck-ups and while I'm not proud, I don't regret it. My friends still love me, and I think that's all that matters.
Now, back to Fiction, which is the purpose of this post.
I've made a lot of progress in the ending of this book, which is somehow also the beginning, and have reached a point where two of my main characters have some fairly pivotal interaction as far as their relationship goes. By now you've hopefully inferred that they are each others' love interests and while this isn't the moment they fall in love with one another (that'd be way too convenient) this is where I could start laying the stepping stones to that point if I really want to. Or I could put it off for a little bit longer, there are a few scenarios possible:
Scene A) I keep on chugging the way I see this playing out and everybody goes home happy in the land of Fiction.
Scene B) I put it off just a little bit longer and make things a little bit more complicated and requires more thinking on my part and throw in a few red herrings every once and a while.
Scene C) I figure out how to make both ideas work.
Scene D) I storm off in a huff and figure this out later.
I've been toying with the idea of putting it off and having him hit her or something drastic like that, but I feel like the whole distrust thing has been overdone. I also think going on ahead is a total cop-out.
Looks like D is the plan while I work on C. Fiction is just going to have to suffer for a little while as I figure out how to keep the love interest... well interesting. They have to span three books, and that is a long term relationship if I ever saw one.

Bible Belt
I live in Tennessee, and while I love my home for it's widely acknowledge natural beauty and wildlife, I can't say much for our smarts.
We're getting a lot of attention for the "Don't Say Gay" bill, which by the way is incredibly gay, of late. And then earlier this month Tracy Morgan decided to run his fat mouth and stir up more trouble, I can happily say I never liked him anyways. It's astonishing how overnight all of this anti-homosexuality has sprung up in my home. I've always been in support of the LGBTQ community, one of my best friends is an incredibly fierce drag queen, and can't imagine life without him. But the sudden amount of animosity they're being shown is heartbreaking.

I Think...
Dangerous words there.
But really, I think part of the reason I've been having so much trouble with this particular scene is because I'm not angry. Quite the opposite. I'm actually pretty friggin' happy. There's minor irritations in life, but on the whole things seem to be going pretty well.
I want to try to finish it off before I leave for Florida (woo!) so I've just spent the past 45 minutes listening to very loud, angry music in hopes of starting something in my head. We'll see how that goes. If not, I still have about a month before I go anywhere.

I Don't Take Kindly To Most Conspiracy Theories
I about beat the hell out of an old friend for trying to deny the Holocaust. And I'm not even Jewish.
It's a thing in my family to join the military. I, however, can't due to some lovely disorders. So I picked the next tradition on the list: Artist.
Today is Memorial Day. Today we think back on all of our soldiers, all of our friends, all of our family.
Today is also the day I walk around with a hammer to pound the face in of any idiot that tries to fuck with traditions.
It's also a thing in my family to be kind of aggressive and really proud.
Anyways. Here's fun link.
