Since those who replied to my LJ Poll with the answer of “no effing way chix0r” are spectacularly uber, and I would hate not having their input on things, I’ve decided to leave LJ comments open on these blog posts.  Ah well.  It was worth the shot.  Thanks for the input!

So yeah, in case you couldn’t gather from my Flickr feed, I have myself a car.  Nothing new.  In fact, it’s the same car I’ve been driving for years, but only because Mum was wonderful enough to share it with me for as long as I stayed under this roof, and all my activites were local.  With being a commuting student next semester, though, sharing would’ve been rather difficult.  So Mom bought herself a new 2008 Chevy Cobalt, and gave the ol’ Cavalier to me.
So that’s pretty damn nifty, if I may say so.  Now I just have to work on not wrecking it like the last hand-me-down Cavalier :P  Or, at least, wreck it with five gallons of something that smells better than milk.  *ribjab*  Then again, I’ve already wrecked this one once (Cockrell’s did a beautiful body job on it!), so maybe I’m safe.

Cleaning the damned thing was an all-day event.  Heh.

In other news, I think this might be year-two of being sick all summer.  At least I’m in brighter spirits this year… I just wish my guts would follow suit.

That’s never something you really want to hear in a progress report, is it?  I can’t help but be honest, though.  Gathering all my stories and such and throwing them up here is proving to be rather annoying work.  But I figured I should go on and get crackin’ on it, since one of my old friends has already huffed at the lack of reading material, hehe.

Ah, yes.  We do have some things up, now.  A fair load of fiction, and a couple of creative nonfiction pieces up for viewing.  I’ll be working on getting some more nonfiction up, as well as some poetry… then I’ll polish up and expand some of my older pieces.  I’m debating on whether or not I should put up some “scraps” as well.  Not anywhere near stories, but simple scenes that I write down in the hopes that maybe, someday, I’ll turn it into something bigger.  We’ll see.

This has pretty much been my day.  Getting kinks flattened out before sleep, then waking up and working on cleaning up/posting stories.  There was pizza in between.   Yep.  This is the exciting life I lead.

Well, we’re getting there, at least.  I’ve been kicking the idea of public blogging around, again, because… well, I’m actually quite happy with who I am and how my life is right now.  First time in years that I can actually, honestly, truly say that.  I’ve got nothing to hide or be ashamed of, so I kind of want to share my [boring] life with the world. Hah!  I was originally planning on just having my LJ public, but yesterday morning proved that there was still an element of drama on there that I would like to avoid.  I figure, if the drama follows me here on my own personal hallowed ground, we’ll all get a faceful of who the real drama-mongers are.

As ever, work in progress.  I’m planning on adding some of my stories up here… finally getting published was a sort of validation for my efforts, and I’m not shy about my creative side anymore now that it’s finally being appreciated (and not being used as “more proof that Palmer is an unholy and wholly crazy freak”).  Woooot.
No idea what else I might have planned, though.  We shall see as time rolls on by.  Or, if you have any suggestions about things you think I should share, drop me a line, m’kay? We’re discovering things! Together!

For the most part, though… I think this is a blog.  Yeaaaah.
