( Part 6 )

...Fuckin' give me a towel,
Mr. Tangerine Speedo...

I submitted 2 short stories and a poem to three seperate mags.

Cross your fingers for me!!!

...The sun is perched at it's highest peak,
In the middle of the day...


Wish me luck... I just submitted THIS HOUSE IS DEATH to the new print horror mag, THE SIX-FINGERED HAND.

OOPS! I forgot to submit that short story last night. I'm such a scatterbrain.

On the other hand... I'm very excited about editing "Asylum". I feel like I'm grading someone's book report. Hahaha. Thank goodness I'm a stickler for details...

Sarah's going to proofread it for me, as well. She'll let me know if there are any inconsistencies (Did I spell that right? Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn...).

Also, those bookmarks my dad designed? I didn't realize they were going to be so incredibly small!! 1" X 3"... TEENY TINY! So he designed something bigger for me. It's too bad cuz I ordered 4 more packs of the teeny ones. Lol.

Oh well. Some people like them cuz they're cute, and different. I might drop some off at a library. Or get my dad to give them out, cuz he's good at that stuff. I dropped them into some of the cards I gave out here at work, and people seem to be interested in my writing. It's nice to have people supporting me, and wanting to read my book. I WANT people to read it, and enjoy it... Hopefully as much as I enjoyed writing it. Ya know??

And now that I'm part of NEHW, I'm hoping to make connections with other authors and get some short stories published so I'll have a small resume before I begin sending out queries.

Oh, and I have a drowning scene in my new book... I have almost drowned twice, so I know exactly how to write it. Lol.

And no, not the creepy Santa face... The article right above it.

It makes me happy! ^_^

So I have everyones' cards written out. Snow is all over the fuckin' place. But, I neglected to put up a tree or stockings this year. What's the point? No one is coming over here to celebrate. And my roommate is never home anyway. Plus, Pippin's cage is in the tree area.

*shrugs*

I'll be at my aunt's house, and my dad's, and Jeremy's (Maybe?). Oh well. Maybe next year around this time I'll have my own house and get a real big ass honkin' tree. I think I'll even decorate it like I did last year... With seashells and stuff. Make the winter feel a little warmer. Put a beach blanket underneath. Maybe a bucket of sand. A beachball. *le sigh* I miss the beach. Haven't been in years.

Time to move somewhere warmer? I think so.

I'm debating on whether or not to bring everyone's stuff in tomorrow or Tuesday. Decisions, decisions...

Grr. And Pippin is a bad bad boy. He marked my arm like it was his territory and then wondered why I put him back in his cage. WTF. I really need to find someone to take him. I thought a hamster would be fun... But really... He's just a pain in the butt. I can't wait to get my cat. At least Chartreux's don't chew holes in everything. And he'll be neutered so he can't spray his stank all over the apartment.

Seriously... I can't stop listening to the "New Moon" soundtrack. GOOD MUSIC! GO BUY IT! Now, I say. MUSH MUSH! *cracks whip*

ANYWAY...

So this is how my day went:

1. Got to work and the IDX system was down throughout ALL of Lahey. And by all, I mean all. I mean Burlington, Arlington, Lexington, Bevery, Peabody, Danvers... And any others I've forgotten. So, crazy shit, right off the bat. It was a MADHOUSE! A MAAAADHOUSE! So... Ya. Rough start there. (FAIL!!!!)

2. Last night one of the vampires told me that she knew someone who'd be interested in my book... I asked her to send me the info. This morning, I check it, all excited, and then find out that the chick only works with stories about vampires. Waa-waaaa... Big FAIL stamp right there. I told her, thanks... But the book I want published is about ghosts, not vampys.

3. I became an official member of the New England Horror Writers Association today. WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. I won the caption contest at work. There was a cartoon of Santa being seen by a Psychiatrist, and 14 people came up with captions. They were posted anonymously, and people voted... And I won!! I didn't even have time to vote, so I didn't even vote for myself. My co-worker Judy was like, "It's not fair! She's a professional writer!!" Then she told me she was kidding and that she voted for me too. Hehe. It won me $25! WOO! WIN!!

5. This patient, let's call him C, has been coming into the department since I first started. He hits on everyone, but especially me. NO IDEA why. I'm really not that great looking. But anyway... Every time he's come in in the past year, he's tried to touch me in one way or another. It really skeevs me out. Today, he came up behind my desk, and began to rub my shoulder. I almost projectile vomited onto his face. Seriously. It freaked me out THAT much. After he left, I practically drowned myself in antibacterial lotion. Later that day, I e-mailed both his doctors and my boss about the situation. One of his docs got right back to me and was horrified. He's going to have a talk with C the next time he comes in. FAIL.

So, all in all, a half empty/half full day.
