Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Vicious cycles, as they say. I seem to keep telling horrible stories about my dad. It's because I have so many. I mean, it's not like he totally beat us to a bloody pulp, he just said stuff like he wasn't afraid to kill us just because we were his kids.you know, shit like that. I went to him while he was at the dinner table, typed-up form in hand. "Can I have $40 so I can apply to this college? He screamed. "I'm not going to the poorhouse to send you to college! Fine," I sai...

Writing Under a Pseudonym. ABC’s of me →. January 2, 2007 · 11:26 am. Something happened to my brain. Within a few minutes, i was back to normal. it was as if that parking lot were some weird schism in my brain. by the time we got back home i was able to see normally again, but i was totally exhausted. i lay down on the couch and promptly went to sleep. So what’s the problem other than some weirdly crossed memories? I can’t do any creative writing. but i can read creative writing. i’m...It’s scary ...

Monday, May 29, 2006. On Memorial Day weekend when I was in fourth grade, I got my period. We were off from school that day, my brother and I were watching cartoons, I got up to go to the bathroom and there it was: blood on the panties. I was ten years old. It's Me, Margaret" cover-to-cover at least three times. I knew all about it, but was surprised all the same. What if I hadn't? Would I have been like the protagonist in "Carrie" and freaked out, ran out of the bathroom screaming for help? Sure, babies...

Tuesday, January 31, 2006. So the word on the street is. Hedgebrook, after several extra weeks of reviewing applications, will be mailing out letters by February 3rd. Friday. They are in Langley, Washington, which means I will not get a letter until MONDAY! I just don't expect things. When I was in 6th grade I was in this county spelling bee. I got into the last 10 and then misspelled "dilapidated" because I'd never heard the word before, and spelled it "de." (Of note: the 5th grader from my scho...Three...

Friday, March 31, 2006. When she was five weeks old. I hadn't planned on keeping her (having two dogs already), but she got her ear bit off and I had to take her to the vet. Patches" was my first thought, because of the square of gauze on the side of her head. "Francis" was my second choice, after the patron saint of animals. Both seemed too tame and not a fit at all. How about Van Gogh? Said one of the vet techs. That name had flashed through head, but would people get it? What a moron. Luckily, Gra...

Monday, October 31, 2005. So long, fat discount. My last employee purchase (because you just haven't heard enough. About this) consisted of the following:. A 2006 daily calendar (it's red! Down for Whatever" by Frederick Smith (mentioned below). The Raw Detox Diet". FastCompany, November 2005 issue. Harvard Business Review, November 2005 issue (this and FastCompany were attempts to get more involved with my admin job - I had NO idea the HBR cost $16.95! I guess they figure business folks can afford it].

Friday, June 30, 2006. The Schedule, for now. Write on bus, approx 30 min. Take 1 hr lunch - write. Go home/workout/make dinner, etc. Before sleep: write, 1 hr. Workout days: TTh kb. 1/2 marathon day (you pick) 4 hrs. Yes, I'm going to have to get up early. I think like 5:30. Write" = prose, character sketch, outline, notes. I'm tired of being dissatisfied. What to give up? Speaking of which, when will I walk the dog? This may need re-tooling. Posted by mel @ 3:42 PM. Thursday, June 29, 2006. My hair loo...
