Monkey Man by *humon on deviantART

Ever since middle school, my dream job has been to write and publish my own books. After a long haul of trying to getting published the traditional way since high school, I've finally gotten into self publishing. I've sold a couple books since then and my dream is slowly coming to light.

Back in elementary school, I asked a high school how much she weighed. right afterwards i learned that's not something you ask people

I had a really bad dream this morning.

I don't really remember what happened before this, but this guy was after this girl I was with and he was also trying to kill me. All three of us are in this van like vehicle and he's driving it all crazy like down the road, she's screamin' and a semi is barreling down behind us. Dude almost gets us all killed and when he pulls the van over in what looks like a parking garage, he starts to go after her but stops when he sees me. Dude tells me something to the effect that I'm in the way and he'd more than happy to hasten my death, moves to pick me up and throw me to my death. I freak and refusing to die like that (again) call out "Raido" and he's pushed back. The guy is surprised by this long enough for both of us to run and split up. Somehow parking garage turns into semi forested lot near a busy highway and I'm pretty sure he's going to come after me first since I'm not a very good runner and guess what? I'm right! Guy's right behind me and also catches me but I keep using Raido on him to push him away while he's trying to use the smae rune magic to either pull me closer to him or slow me down, i'm not sure which but it almost works. Finally, I get inside this building that quickly turns into what looks like a hotel but cops are bringing arrested people in so part of it has to be a jail. I do my best to avoid people at this point and just start wandering around the halls, peeking into open doors as the place starts looking like a nursing home at one point. Finally, I make it into a room that looks a lot like Grampy's old den but there'a really big picture of a family reunion from my mother's side on the wall. I stare at it as I walk into the room and I either turn of my own accord or someone says somehting, but I turn around to my right and find that I'm in a house with other people. I think I start talking to them about the guy with the rune powers and it's about this point that I wake up...

*DIES LAUGHING*

The memorial for Dana's mom was held at Mnetal health on Thursday and it was very nice

Dana got the storage place payed off for another month and we'll be keeping that until we can weed through everything

Dana and I went up to the city on Friday and it only took us roughly ten to fifteen minutes to not only get her birth certificate but her mother's as well. We then went back down to Norman, grabbed lunch, went to the lawyer, got the $50 letter that would grant us access to the apartment, went home and crashed before we got picked up by dad for Brandy's birthday party at the house ^___^

Went into work Saturday to not only find the schedule was up, but I didn't get the two days I had asked off for to help Dana moved stuff out of her mother's other apartment. Surprised at first, I simply thought that I could just trade out some times with some of my other co-workers...until I looked over the paper and I could not see anyone who could open for me on Thursday. I was devistated, and it showed as I literally tried to talk to Missy about it. After a short burst of tears and explainging the situation, I got this Thursday and Friday off...and I felt guilty as shit for it until we opened because I have NEVER  cried to get my way about anything and it made me feel very dirty *shudders*

Dana swung by Chapel Ridge on her way to work Saturday...they were closed

Dana swug by those apartments again on her way to work today, they were open AND they accepted the lawyer's letter *confetti*

I called UHaul and I have booked us a 14ft truck for pick up on Thursday morning and estimated return of 3pm on Friday ^_^
But I booked the truck for like 7am on Thursday and neither one of us owns a car, I'm thinking of fixing the time for like 9am *fidgets*

All help will be appreciated for Thursday, July 2nd (help us, PLEASE!)

For those NOT in the know...

Dana's mother died last week early Tuesday morning.
She was in the middle of moving from Nobel to Norman when she broke her leg at the UHaul store
She was taken to the hospital where they fixed her leg and then she was transferred to a nursing home for physical therapy.
She had been staying at Cedar Creek on 24th when she died, most likely from kidney failure
As far as we know, Margarette didn't make any plans so Dana had her cremated on the premise of holding services at a later date once all her family and friends have been notified.

Now here's the bad news!

Because Dana wasn't listed on the leasing papers, Chapel Ridge won't let her into the apartment without a court order
And they can't rent out the apartment until it has been cleared out *le groan*

After two weeks of running around and trying to get help with this issue, Dana and I finally found a lawyer on Thursday who said that we didn't need to get a $5000 probate just to haul out a bunch of junk. All we needed was Dana's original birth certificate and we can get a $50 lawyer's latter that states "Dana is the heir apparent, let her in or else"

The other piece of good news is that the apartments she was moving out of in Nobel was nice enough to hold the rest of her "things" until we could get down there. They told Dana "Oh yeah, just a couple of boxes and some Knick Knacks"

. . .

DID THE BLOODY FREAKIN' DEFINITION OF KNICK KNACKS CHANGE WHEN MARAGRETTE DIE? Because all we saw in there was a bunch of junk lying around in all of the rooms!

Amber from work took us down to ParkSide Apartments and the place looked a bomb had gone off! There was papers everywhere, nothing was really organized to be moved, the electrcitiy was off so it was hot and there was bugs running around everywhere because FOOD HAD BEEN LEFT BEHIND!  *ugh* I lost count of how many times i said "oh my god" while we were sorting out what to take and what to leave for the vultures *shudders* Thankfully, ParkSide wasn't going to force Dana to finish cleaing out the place and they said they would donate what ever we left behind (big wheew!)

Another piece of good news is that all of the expensises have been paid off at Haven Brooke and Maragrette was successfully creamted AND given to us. She's currently sitting up on the book shelf nest to her mother (who has YET to be personally transported down to Muskogee for burial. No UPS for MeMaw *shakes head firmly*)

The only other and last piece of news is that Mental Health will be holding a memorial for Maragrette this Thursday at noon. I got the day off to join Dana. We're not pressuring anyone to join us but it be great if you could send her your support either through here in LJ or on her cell phone.

Thank guys and we hope to hear back from ya'll

OMG DUDES! My Sailor Blueberry Muffin cosplay was featured on another person's blog!!!!!

mydisguises.com/2008/08/19/when-cosplays-collide/

I recently found out some douche bags at Amazon have been messing around with the GLSTB content material at the Amazon site n the grounds of "weeding out the too adult stuff to protect the children.": BULL!

You can read the whole story about it here in this article - http://rosalarian.livejournal.com/253096.html?view=2466216#t2466216
In the same note, at the end of the article is a petition you can sign at the end of the article
I tried several times to sign said petiton but the stupid site kept saying that my zip code was wrong *spazes*

Men in Africa are targeting Lesbians and "corrective raping" them in the belief that it will turn them straight and into good little house wives *ugh*

Yes, I'm still alive. And so is Dana...and as far as I know, so is Tina ^_^

Dana and I are going to A-Kon this year. Once I get paid around the 20th, I'm going to get our con passes and we're going to take the train down. We're going to take the Flyer down to Fort Worth and then catch the TRE over to Dallas. Only prob with this is that the TRE doesn't run on Sundays. Thank god Anya said she'd give Dana and I a ride if we couldn't one on our own on Sunday back to Fort Worth. The bonus to taking the train is that we'll be getting there in the afternoon, so we've been given the good ahead to pick up room keys ^_^

Other than take our boy Dolfies, Dana and I are still trying to figure out our Cosplay for the weekend *le sigh*

I've got three/four books published so far under two different pen names, AJAngelique and Sapphire Sophilia. Why? Because Sapphire Sophilia deals maibnly with yaoi/yuri and my grandparenrts in New York with pitch a holy fit if they ever found I wrote gay/lesbian stories, in addititon to the fact that my grandfather might end up back in the hospital with heart problems *chews bottom lip*

What I have published so far is...

her name is Lizzie, she's about Dana's height with flawless caukcasion skin. i guess chestnut colored hair that was curled on the ends, glasses similar to carol ann's and she was wearing this blue plaid flanel top that was buttoned down pretty low and a silver star of david necklace. poor grl got hit on by a drunk cowboy at hastings...and i could see why *tries not to drool*

and i acted like a such a perv/idiot! instead of simply asking, i looked down her shirt a ouple times to see what was on her necklace and i was trying my best not stare at her and not to grin *ugh* at least i wasn't only one hangin out with them, jordan and chris were with us at the register as loren and lizze ate their cookies and lizze recanted her horrible experience with the obviously drunk cowboy. *poor girl*

drunk cowboy: do you go to the univeristy of oklahoma *with obvious accent*
lizze: no
D.C.: Do you work in the oil fields?
L: Yes, but I'm still in high school
D.C.: Oh, well I can't handle that *turns and leaves*
