\nI held my child\u2019s adult teeth in the palm of my hand, watched the blood run from her mouth, and failed in an attempt to sue the damn hotel company. By the way, NEVER stay at the Days Inn on McPhilips Avenue in Winnipeg Manitoba. PS \u2013 not even an apology from the company or that particular franchisee. Nada<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nI kept some, fell off in others and I\u2019m working on my proper list today. I never make \u2018em without thinking long and hard between Yule and the 31st.<\/p>\n
\nTwo good friends: both Brandon Layng (baby girl) and BorgDude (baby boy borglet). Granted they didn\u2019t do any of the pain and pushing\u2026<\/p>\n
\nYes.<\/p>\n
\nSarcastic Perimeteritis comment withheld for safety\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n
\nA book contract, a solid job with job security, a better house, a car.<\/p>\n
\nJuly 6th, the day Rhia\u2019s teeth were ripped from her head by an unsafe and improperly maintained waterslide. February 25th, the day we realized Pye was really well and truly missing.<\/p>\n
\nGetting my groove back after realizing why it was gone to begin with. Well, that and several print publications and award recs\/noms\/wins.<\/p>\n
\nNot being able to sue the Days Inn nor the franchisee.<\/p>\n
\nWell, duh. Numerous migraines as per usual. <\/p>\n
\nThe computer.<\/p>\n
\nRhia\u2019s. My girl is amazing \u2013 disabled from birth, she struggles every day with things we all take for granted, and she does it with a smile on her face. Despite having such awful damage to her mouth and spending most of the evening and a large part of the night awake and in pain, she was up bright and early the next morning, suited up and ready to get back into the tournament.<\/p>\n
\nBesides the Days Inn people, no frickin\u2019 comment.<\/p>\n
\nThe girls, life, and the computer.<\/p>\n
\nGetting a new computer. Signing the various contracts for publication. The Stoker rec.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cPain\u201d by Three Days Grace<\/p>\n
\nHappier\/Sadder:<\/em> Happier
\nThinner\/Fatter:<\/em> Fatter (I think, I didn\u2019t weigh last year, but I\u2019m pretty sure)
\nRicher\/Poorer:<\/em> Life-rich, Cash-poor<\/p>\n
\nExercise. Writing. Time with friends.<\/p>\n
\nFollowing into places I wouldn\u2019t go otherwise.<\/p>\n
\nIs done, and at my mothers.<\/p>\n
\nThe girls.<\/p>\n
\nNo. And just for Donna \u2013 Love is Just a Word. hehehe<\/p>\n
\nNone. Unfortunately.<\/p>\n
\nBlood Ties and Doctor Who and Torchwood are tying themselves up.<\/p>\n
\nI don\u2019t hate actual physical beings anymore. I hate actions (or in-actions), I hate attitudes and I hate non-material things. Life is too short to hate. I have stopped loving some people I used to love.<\/p>\n
\nLisey\u2019s Story, John Dies at the End, Heart-Shaped Box and Deathly Hallows.<\/p>\n
\nNorthumberland Soundwave. And no, you haven\u2019t heard of them.<\/p>\n
\nNew computer. New dishes. Books, friends, Courting Morpheus.<\/p>\n
\nNovel contract, and some private things. Yes, I have private things. Hard to believe, since I tell ya\u2019ll almost everything.<\/p>\n
\nHarry Potter-Order of the Phoenix, 1408.<\/p>\n
\nI don\u2019t remember, and 35. <\/p>\n
\nSuing Days Inn.<\/p>\n
\nFashion?<\/p>\n
\nEditing, writing what little I did write, caffeine, alcohol, circle, the girls, time with friends on and offline.<\/p>\n
\nStephen King\u2019s brain. And a guy far too young even for me – Kyle Schmid.<\/p>\n
\nCanada\u2019s role in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
\nI missed stfu, that\u2019s who I missed. (now I\u2019m just being rude.)<\/p>\n
\nSeriously? The only person that was completely friendly to Glas Celli as a whole during the whole Gaia Gathering in Winnipeg \u2013 Cooki. The guy has a great sense of humor, volunteered uber-hours to sit in the hospitality room, talked up a storm, listened to me go on and on about the wonderfulness of Apex Digest and had some great stories to tell.<\/p>\n
\nDon\u2019t judge a book by its cover. Or the cover that\u2019s presented year after year after year \u2013 eventually, the paper wears thin and you just can\u2019t stand the story anymore.<\/p>\n
\nWork It Harder Make It Better
\nDo It Faster, Makes Us Stronger
\nMore Than Ever Hour After
\nOur Work Is Never Over
