  • Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

  • Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

  • My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half.  Prior to this  med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years.  And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

  • Broken, The Internet Is

    Broken, The Internet Is

    So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

  • A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies.  It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead.  I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that.  What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically.  Yes,  yesterday I was…

  • Mother Nature: In Yo’ Face Humanity!

    Mother Nature: In Yo’ Face Humanity!

    BLAST THIS SNOW!  Already, the winter is upon us.  Harder, faster, stronger, more annoying than ever before.  Inches are piling up trying to smother me!  And now my nostalgia for summer has already started to rear its beautiful but distant and ungraspable head (ew?). Summer, I long for you!!  I lust for you!!! COME BACK!!! Don’t…

  • Internet Archaeology

    Internet Archaeology

    You know what’s weird?  The internet will someday be a weird spooky graveyard. Think about it…the ‘nets has really only been around for maybe 15-20 years.  Not really long enough for anyone to be “born” online and then “die” online. And by born and die, I mean…in REAL life.  Think about this blog, what the…

  • 2 Kitten Power

    2 Kitten Power

    There are 2 kinds of men in the world, those that want to go out of their way to help women lift heavy objects and those that feel women are as strong as men and can help themselves.  Guess which kind of man Mr. VS happens to be? That’s right, he’s the kind that believes…

  • She Found Her Voice

    I think one of the most interesting and cool things about writing is voice.  The day I found my characters voice was a very exciting day for me.  It was like she had come to life, like she was talking to me and she had attitude.  I think the way that I found her voice…

  • Blog for Mental Health 2013

  • Nightmare

    I walk a desolate twisted dirt road Trees bending closer Gnarled fingers reaching to block out the sky Ahead fog hangs over the swamp Muddy water surrounds dead trees Stumps, rotting decay Mist hovers over the stark white stones Sinking and cockeyed into the muck Their faces chipped, dirty and covered with moss Here Lies…

  • I need your help!

    As a soon to be published author, I’ve really started to think a lot more about the publishing process.  Specifically, I need to finalize my book cover, write a book description and decide a price for my ebook.  Later I’ll also look to create a print book, but that will take a bit more effort…

  • My Panic Attack

    Caged inside my own mind With the devil, the monster Longing for escape Clawing at the door like an animal Depression beneath my fingernails Desperate I didn’t ask for this Heart pounds, it’s happening again Flushed red hot, shaking Hazy eyed, surreal Fear, deadly fear, like murder Poised with a knife Frantic Bloody mind, dazed,…

  • The Next Big Thing: My Contribution

    There are the authors everyone has heard about: George R. R. Martin, Stephen King. But what about all those books written by people you’ve never heard of? Some of them are treasures just waiting to be found, and that’s what this blog hop is all about: the books you might not have heard about, the…

    These writers on this season of the USA are doing a bang up job keeping us on the edge of our seats! Let’s just hope they’re not like the writers for LOST! Buckle up for some existential rambling DREAD below! (Don’t worry, it’s…

    The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

    Remember that place the so-called Landfill? I know you’re like…”What? No? What place? I don’t recall anything like that.” (All said while avoiding eye contact). Well, I’m here to point your attention in the direction of your local landfill, filled not with LAND…

  • This is Why We’re All Overweight

    This is Why We’re All Overweight

    I’ve done a little thinking on the topic and I’ve come up with several reason why we’re all overweight and continue to gain the old lbs. The equation looks something like this: unhappiness + depression + meaninglessness + boredom + our modern culture…

  • 7 Guidelines for a Kickass Marriage

    7 Guidelines for a Kickass Marriage

    Marriage can be a hard thing, which is why your choice of mate is pretty essential and the way you interact is key to your happiness. Mr. VS and I do pretty well, considering that he’s probably the MOST normal person on the planet and in addition to weird and crazy, I’m also annoying, sarcastic, ranty and annoying…

    Brown Recluse Rising in Cancer

    I like it when my titles are so weird, you’re like…WTF just happened here? MY GOD! WHAT IS THIS? Well, this one is about how I’m a Cancer in the zodiac and according to Mr. VS I am also a recluse which happens to mesh quite nicely with me being a Cancer. Both really tie the…

  • Preplanning for Disappointment with Defensive Pessimism

    Preplanning for Disappointment with Defensive Pessimism

    I’ve become so accustomed to disappointment in my life that I’ve actually started pre-planning for disappointment. I’m assuming that almost everyone has disappointments, however I’m sure there are some people who experience more disappointments than others.  And I don’t believe that this is always due to the fact that some people have expectations that are unrealistic…

    This is Why We’re All Overweight

    I’ve done a little thinking on the topic and I’ve come up with several reason why we’re all overweight and continue to gain the old lbs. The equation looks something like this: unhappiness + depression + meaninglessness + boredom + our modern culture + our careers = fat. And here’s how I came to that…

  • Anxious, Can’t Sleep

    Anxious, Can’t Sleep

    One of the fun things about my life, much like Back to the Future, are the paradoxes I encounter daily. These paradoxes typically involve my anxiety causing all my worst fears to come true.  That’s right, my own anxiety, that I adopted as a child, causes the EXACT things to happen that I want to…
