I'm so poor right now that I'm almost ready to start asking bums on the street for change.

Thats so funny that u say that ... because not only am *I* in the same position financially .. but when I was driving home the other night I saw this bum with a cup walking thru traffic begging for money, and I thought to myself "that dude has way more cash than me right now!!" And then .. during the following few minutes, I actually contemplated doing the exact same thing, lol! I thought abt what outfit I could wear to make myself look more pathetic, how I could smear mud on myself to make it look like I was homeless .. and even what I would write on my sign, hahah! I quickly discarded the idea as crazy, but now you're bringing it up again and it doesnt seem like too terrible an idea anymore lol. What happened to your job at the book store?!

An early Merry Christmas to you too. I can't wait to get up to Canada and spend time with Kathy already. The anticipation is killing me.

The next part from my story (see my previous post for part one):


She would return to this pool every day the seasons allowed for the next fourteen years, never finding another Mer but never losing her curiosity. She trained herself to hold her breath for longer and longer periods of time, so that she could dive a little bit deeper into the pool, but...

As always, i wish you much success in your writing career.

For me, sports has become boring and almost unwatchable. Maybe it's because so many more important things are happening in my life. That will surely change to some extent when pichers and catchers report to spring training. After all, unlike the teams I root for in other sports, the Sox are, and will always be like a lifelong friend to me. This will be my 56th season rooting for them. That's a lot of pain, mixed in with occasional pleasure.

It's the pleasure that makes the pain tolerable, or even welcome. Sort of like another part of my life, I suppose.

So, what's going on otherwise in your everyday life?

Thank you, my friend.

oh, I know right where you are then. Great area. DO have any food places that you especially enjoy.

Working on a new story, this one for class (which is why I haven't worked much on the novel lately). It's a sort of Silmarillion-esque story, essentially a distantly-narrated version of an epic novel I plan on writing one day, that condenses maybe 600 pages into about 25.

Here's the beginning:


Here follows the tale of Ania, Princess of Estolle.

Ania Minerva was the niece...

I will come back and read this later..my brain is not focused at all.

Thank you, though for what you said.
It means a lot right now.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too. I see that you're wrting again. That's great. I have to prepare for spending the day with my family, but promise to read your story the first chance I get, which should be over the weekend.

As always, I appreciate your support and gladly offer mine.

Note to self: stop posting while inebriated. It brings out the wrong kind of honesty, the type that's best kept to yourself.

Anything new going on in your world.

The fact that you've feigning illness just to get a day off is not a good thing. I hope things slow down for you.

I'm embarking on a life-changing journey which will result in my spending the rest of my life with a woman who will provide me the lifestyle that I've always been meant to live. I'm more than ready to start living strictly for myself. All my obligations have been met. It's MY time now and I can't wait to experience it.

The move is (mostly) complete, and today I finally got my internet back. TV, though, is another story....

Anyway, I love the new place and all, but right now it's just a fucking mess. Between work and school, the only day I've had to do anything in regards to this move was the day we actually moved. I'm just now beginning to unpack the ungodly...

Things are really complicated for you right now. Sounds like there's some good and bad going on in your life.

I hear you loud and clear about money. I still can't believe how I had to change my lifestyle in order to survive. The good thing is, that when I start getting some steady money in again starting the end of next month I'll probably benefit from the Spartan lifestyle i've had to live and continue the frugal habits i've developed.

Hang in there. In a few years from now when you become famous, I can tell everyone that I lknow you.

Not one word from mattacme. I know i tend to think the worst in a situation like this. I hope i'm wrong, but I have a bad feeling about what might have happened to him.

After about 2-3 rather unproductive weeks, I've actually been able to do a good amount of writing in the past two days, and just today I realized that I'm just past my projected halfway point. That comes a lot sooner when you're shooting for 70,000-80,000 words as opposed to almost 150,000, like my first book....

Still haven't heard whether or not we've been approved for...

My girlfriend and I are getting a new apartment right in the heart of downtown Baltimore. It's a great apartment (and a hell of a lot nicer and bigger than the cookie-cutter place we have now in White Marsh), and it's on Pratt St., literally right across the street from the baseball stadium. You look right at Oriole Park from our window, and can see...

I'm glad you're back to focusing on your writing. The idea of young adult fantasies really sounds exciting.

Congrats on the new apartment. Your perseverence in getting the tuition help shows me that you're fighting for yourself instead of feeling defeated. I know what both of those emotions feel like. Believe me, the way you're going about thigs now is the way to go.

Hey, maybe you should submit my story too. It sure it reads like a fantasy. no one needs to know that it's based on real events.

Thanks so much for the b'day wishes.

When you print the story out at school, make sure nobody sees it. They might think you're wierd. On the other hand, you may make some new friends, LOL.

Started writing a new novel; this one will be much more marketable than my other one. But I don't have near as much time to write now as I did with my earlier one, mainly because, in Austin, I could write at work (I probably wrote a good 300 of the 500 total pages while working). But this book is going to be shorter, maybe...

Hey, did u ever finish the last novel?? Jesus, I havent been gone *that* long! I was just here last month!!

And what is the deal with having to write at the library and work? Is there a reason you cant write at home? Do you not have a private place in which you can relax and open up your thinking cap to all the crazy ideas in your crazy little head?

I know what it is to be a retail slave, and for many many years. But one thing you have over me ... is that you're almost done with that bullshit!! Look ahead instead of looking into the present. You've come a long damn way and damnit it shows and WILL pay off greatly.
wsoxfan:
Just noticed that you were online. How are you? I also noticed that I missed your birthday. I have to keep better track of all my friends' b'days.

Sorry about the oversight. Happy belated birthday. Better late than never, I guess.

I'm too drunk to care right now.

Points of pissiness:

--Maryland law requires all bars to be closed by 2:00 AM. What the fuck?
--All liquor stoeres I've found in Baltimore (in Baltimore! The Lonely City! Where everyone is depressed!) close at 10:00 FUCKING O'CLOCK!. What the fuck?
--Friends keep bailing on me when I want to go out, even with all the shit that's...
