My noggin aches from reading too much of a stupid journal.

It’s far simpler to let fools spout foolishness, and walk away. I swear, if he hadn’t gotten vulgar, I wouldn’t have put so much effort into it. Last LJ drama for me, until the next one.

I’m going to put that future energy to getting back to ‘at least one paragraph of possible fiction a day’. my writing muscles are getting flabby.

I will not succumb to the darkness in my heart.

I will not smite my perceived enemy. Either educate him, or walk away. He’s not worth the blood on my hands, however good it will feel to rend his flesh, and gouge his eyes.

I’m glad he was put in his place by cooler heads than mine.

Up and at ’em!

Morning-time is here once again.

Rough dreams last night… not sure what the rhyme or reason was… What I remember was that it was storming outside, bright lightening and thunder, high winds…I was at a mall, and it was flooding with about ankle deep water on the floor. Not sure if I was supposed to be buying supplies, or what… it was the mall of the dead, and nobody was there.

My poor sweetie is working so hard to catch up with her work that we’ve only been able to chat a bit (as her mind needed to be on her project). I hope that we have an opportunity to gab at some depth soon. Maybe play a little AOK, snuggle, too. ICQ was weird last night…I hope that’s a one-time thing.

So many things to do…time to hop in the shower and then straighten up the house some.

I miss her. It’s only been hours since we’ve talked, but I miss her a lot.

The Poke-Bandits
=================================
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Three children — ages 2, 4 and 6 — were briefly detained by
police after a neighbor saw them throw a bottle through a store’s glass door,
then dart away with packs of Pokemon trading cards, police say.

Being A Transexual Is A Legal Handicap
=================================
A New Jersey appeals court ruling that transsexualism can be considered a
handicap under state law has raised questions — and hackles — over the legal rights
of people who change genders.
“I’m going to start wearing a hula skirt to work because now I know I’m
protected,”

First A Special Haircut, Now A Special Dental Treatment
=================================
The Scottish Prison Service has admitted flying a dentist to the Netherlands to
treat the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing. The disclosure came days
after it was revealed that the SPS had dispatched a female officer to Camp Zeist to
provide Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi with a haircut.

The UK Has Run Out Of Elastic!!!!
=================================
A church verger in the West Midlands is appealing for women to donate their
knicker elastic to keep the church clock going.
The clock, in the tower of All Saints Church, West Bromwich, stopped last week.
The verger, David Lord, said the clock’s workings relied on a piece of string
and a piece of elastic.

Man Arrested For Overdue Library Book
=================================
His affection for “Green Eggs and Ham” cost an Ann Arbor man $200 and a trip to
the city police department Friday.
The 25-year-old was arrested about 2 p.m. on a warrant from Westland, because
he failed to appear in court July 6 to explain why in three years he hadn’t
returned two children’s books to the William P. Foust Public Library.

I’m Not Drunk, I’m Deaf… and drunk
=================================
When police pulled over Steven Bircoll one night in April, officers thought he
was drunk: He slurred his words, he smelled of booze and he refused to take a
Breathalyzer test, according to reports.
Bircoll has a different explanation: He’s deaf. He didn’t understand what the
Miami-Dade County officers were telling him. He says he thought he agreed to
take the breath test — and the whole thing was a big misunderstanding.
