Time has a funny way of slipping away from us. Days turn into weeks, then into months, and then you look back, surprised that so much time has elapsed. Time can seem to drag on, a slow, relentless march into the future, but somehow swift as the rapids threatening to drown us if we don’t … Continue reading

Ten years and counting
It’s been almost ten years since I started my first blog. Looking at my first post, my anniversary is coming up on the 13th, a week from today. Though those first posts are no longer available to the public, I have the archived to peruse at my leisure. Reading them now, well, it’s actually pretty … Continue reading

“Who is she?” Tiriana asked. “Who are you talking about?” Virion asked in return, deflecting his girlfriends question. “You know who I’m talking about,” Tiriana retorted. “I know you were talking to Aien about her. You said you wanted to ask her out.” “That’s ridiculous,” he said, though he looked…

Still, I think it’s helpful to write about the mundane from time to time. The biggest issue that I’ve … Continue reading
Roller coaster ride
I hate roller coasters. Anyone who really knows me also knows that I hate them, passionately. It’s not that I don’t recognize that they are a form of amusement, loved by millions, I get that. It’s just not for me. I hate that feeling in the pit of my stomach, that feeling of freefall that … Continue reading
