I had a really great dream last night. I was an operative in a secret spy group, tasked with taking down a fleet of robotic soldiers who were programmed to seek and destroy the citizens of my country. It was action-packed: full of explosions, climbing over barbed-wire fences, jumping off a cliff and, finally, landing on […]

I had a dream the other night I was kissing a man I wasn’t attracted to. I’ve mentioned before that my dreams are very vivid and realistic. It’s as if I’m awake and actually there. To set the scene: I was working at a large used car lot. There were a lot of workers, and we […]

I had a particularly curious dream last night. It wasn’t traumatic or violent or upsetting, just curious. The main thing that stood out to me was that it was so real. I remember my thoughts during the dream, I remember my emotions, and I remember my physical reactions to the environment. I can’t really tell […]

My name is Maude, I’ve got frizzy auburn hair dressed in a pompadour. I’m walking around in my blue checked gingham, taking orders and filling cups, when I see a new wave of people coming in. At the head is Tasha Yar, well-made but wearing a pajama version of a redshirt – she goes into […]

I remember the first time I wished upon a star. I’d watched Pinocchio for the first time after my siblings and I received it on VHS at Christmas. I was four and a half years old – sitting in the back of a minivan, settling in for an hour long ride to evening church. I […]

My outlook on life has changed greatly in the years since I decided I needed to become my true self at all costs. I no longer look to the future with dread, I no longer accept the present with a feeling of despondency, I no longer look at the past with disdain. I have grown mentally and […]

I haven’t done a Thankful Thursday post in a long time, but felt like I should write one today. As you probably don’t know, I keep a handwritten journal – in addition to this blog – because I really do have a lot in my head that comes out at weird times. So, yesterday, I […]

I’ll admit it – I’m clueless when it comes to “romance”. I looked up “romance” and the only useful definition I could find was “a baseless, made-up story, usually full of exaggeration or fanciful invention.” So, I looked up “romantic” and found that it is “characterized by a preoccupation with love or by the idealizing of love or one’s beloved.” So, then I looked up “beloved”, which is “a person who is greatly loved” and “love” […]

Feeling troubled, I will now write about some of the things I am feeling troubled about in candid and cryptic ways. 1) I don’t know why people get so upset about word usage. Everyone uses words wrong sometimes. It’s not that big of a deal. I wonder if those people get an ego boost by […]

I should be asleep. Indeed, I will need to wake up in another few hours for an hour of travel via public transportation to get to work since both of my vehicles bit the dust last week. Never mind that my only duty in life is to go to work for eight hours of every […]
