I’ve been noticing that as I focus on getting my groove back, there’s a lot of synchronicity in my life. I seem to fall into moments where people say or post things I need to hear a lot lately. Since people never quite believe this, here’s the proof… I had to run into Joann’s for … More Smart Ass Universe: Synchronicity
I’ve mentioned it before, but sometimes I get life affirmation in the weirdest ways, usually through music. I get a lot of this is probably because I’m focused on certain things anyway, and some is probably coincidence. Still, some experiences are just weird, like the universe has had enough and is pointedly clearing it’s throat … More Smart-Ass Universe: Let it Be
I’ve been reading a lot of autobiographies lately, and one of the things I like is when you really get insight into the personality you’re reading about. While I love reading about people’s experiences, it’s extra nice if you can get glimpses of their nature or little things and quirks that make them tick. Same … More SJ in five quirks
So mid-May a friend and I saw the Welcome to Night Vale live show, and it was fabulous. Like so much in fandom, the actual act/product/thing was/is wonderful, but there are always other parts of the evening that round it out, and those can go either way. The venue was nice enough, though the staff … More Fandom Friday: Welcome to Night Vale…Except For You.
Typically The Lost Manuscripts is my tongue-in-cheek time where I share old childhood stories with terrible drawings, bits of the odd angst journal, something to that effect. This time, though, I’m actually going to be serious. I know, right? I mentioned in yesterday’s post the anthology project I had to do for my high school … More The Lost Manuscripts: Dropping the Mask and Exposing the Spirit
After fumbling through the beginning of teenagerdom in Jr. High, dealing with on and off friends, and all the other fun things that 80’s sitcoms didn’t fully prepare me for, high school was mostly uneventful. My freshman year was a little bit of an acclimation time. There was also a theme of me fast growing … More Influences: Becoming a Germ of the Wild
So I know I’ve been relying on tour posts lately, but I am trying to get back to actual content (she says, for the four thousandth time in a row). After changing jobs and losing a very close friend last year, I think part of me just needed time to reset and figure out where … More Moving Forward
So all in all, this has been an interesting WiHM 2015. I have to admit, going in I had mixed feelings – I usually do. While I love having a chance to explore the genre I dearly love and am fascinated by, and I truly do feel that we need to explore gender roles within … More If only I was as Hot as Stephen King: WiHM 2015 Thoughts
So I’ve been thinking about my own horror influences lately… Yeah, there are the typical ones: I got into Anne Rice in college, Stephen King probably around the same time (I was a late bloomer), Ray Bradbury was a constant companion for me from high school on, though I really connected with him in my … More Growing up Gruesome: A Look at my Horror Influences
So along with everything else, I’ve been getting out and about in blog-world this month, which has partially been what’s been holding up posts here. So instead of shoving a separate post for every link I have out there, I decided to take pity on you and give you a run-down in one easy, comprehensive … More SJ’s horror posts around the web
