The Visible Effects of Hard Drugs on the Body
One of the ugliest parts of living in a small town is the ratio of people who use drugs. What is really sad is how apparent it is. Many drugs damage the body in many obvious ways. Crystal Meth is one of the most obvious.
Lisa and I are close to the same age, yet there are people she graduated with that look well over double our age. The scars, the sagging skin, the wrinkles, and the teeth are all huge indicators. There are so many folks she’s introduced me to that look as old as Lisa’s mother (who has aged decently well) yet are either our age or younger.

What is 'Rushing' into Love?
Lisa and I had what most would call a whirlwind romance. We met through an online dating service, which took quite a bit of luck in and of itself, and then we just FELL. Before we even met in person we knew there was something interesting there, and after that first meeting, we both had fallen for each other.
We tried to keep from rushing as much as we could, and every time we did ‘hold back’ it would cause strife between us. I still, to this day, catch grief for not wanting to say “I love you” first even though we both felt it.

Ballad of the Emerald Bard: A Diary of Sorts - 10
(( There you are! Glad to see you again, especially for part 10 of A Diary of Sorts. The 6th serial story in the Ballad of the Emerald Bard continues here! To recap...uhm...how to put this lightly...Mindee JUST read about her mom describing her self as a 'tiger' in bed. Yeah, its always alarming for kids to hear about their parent's sexual exploits. Ready to see how she deals with it? ))
--
Aloucia sat with a tight smile. Mindee paced back and forth babbling about finding out that her mom was a ‘tiger’ in bed. She bit her tongue feeling her tongue piercing against her teeth. If you only knew..., her thoughts went. She finally said, “Dee, stop, you knew you’d find out things that would freak you out when you started reading.” Aloucia’s mind went to the affair her and Deeya had way back when. Without thinking about it, her eyes drifted over to the four books on the desk, Is that in there...in detail?
Mindee sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. “I honestly figured I’d find out that my father hit her, or something...not that she...she.... Yuck....”
Aloucia smirked, “Look here, Dee....” She stood and walked over to her friend, “You knew that sex had to happen for you to get here, so its really no big deal.”
Mindee looked into Aloucia’s striking blue eyes and then hugged her. “I know,” she whispered, “but yeah...did NOT expect that....”
Aloucia finished the hug and said, “I know, Dee, but at least you know to stop reading....”
Mindee backed away with a scoffing look on her face. “As if! I have to keep reading, I have to know if my father was a good man, ever....”
Aloucia followed Mindee’s eyes to the books again. She shook her head, her white hair stark against her dark chocolate skin. “It didn’t get into...detail did it?”
Mindee looked at her, smacked her arm, and said, “Alou!”
Aloucia rubbed her arm and said, “What? Just want to know how damaged you really are....”
Mindee sighed and said, “Not too much. It goes on for a bit about how she’d meet him and how often.... And how great it was. She even kinda mentioned that he wasn’t her first, but she never mentioned it before. In the end, yeah.... I did NOT need to know that.”
Aloucia placed her hand on the first book, gently stroking the cover with her fingertips. “Well, everyone has a sexual phase.” She felt her skin darken from a blush, “You know, if they find the right person.”
Mindee nodded and said, “I guess so. I never really did. I was too busy trying to get Mom’s attention.”
Aloucia crossed her arms and gave Mindee a ‘look,’ “Oh, I remember that well.”
Mindee blushed, “I’m sorry, okay!” Her exclamation was near comical. “I did NOT expect you to be taking a bath then....”
Aloucia narrowed her eyes, “It took me three weeks to get all the feathers out of my hair, not to mention...other places....”
Mindee blushed deeper, her voice turned to a sad whisper, “I said I was sorry....”
Aloucia laughed and hugged her friend. “I’m just happy I didn’t have clothes on, I’d’ve hated for you to had to clean my cloak.”
Mindee looked into the red eyes of the wolf cloak, as it hung from a chair near the desk. Those eyes always seemed to be staring at her, which creeped her out. “Yeah, that would have been bad....”
Aloucia finished the hug with a squeeze and stepped away. “I need to be going, Dee. You are lucky I was in the city and could stop by.”
Mindee smirked and said, “Hot date tonight?”
Aloucia ran her fingers through the fur on the top of the wolf’s head. “Yeah, old flame.”
Mindee smirked even bigger and said, “You need pointers from Mom’s book?”
With that Aloucia turned a deep black. She didn’t think she had ever blushed so hard. Then she realized her body kid of react and realized it wasn’t just a blush. “I....” She steadied herself, mentally and spiritually. She could hear the wolf’s voice dimly in her mind. She then took a deep breath and slowly said, “I think I’ve got it covered....”
Mindee shook her head, “You and your conquests. This guy must be special, as you always talk about how you love’m and leave’m.”
Aloucia turned back to Mindee. Mindee had sat on the bed and was stretching back. It was hard not to think about Deeya doing that, as the two had so many similarities. She sighed internally, knowing she was still somewhat in love with Deeya, and always would be. But Aloucia also knew that she was not a lover of women. Deeya had been her one and only girl, and would also be so. “Some guys are good enough with their manhood that they deserve a second time around....and maybe more.”
Mindee laughed. “You are insatiable.”
Aloucia laughed as well, “Oh...you have no idea.... Besides this one...he’s got a big one.”
Mindee rolled her eyes and shook her head, “I don’t want to know.” Aloucia held up her hands, signaling sizes. Mindee gaped and said, “Oh my gods, Alou, how does it even fit?”
Aloucia smirked with an evil glint in her eye, “Well, you start with your mouth, even though it barely fits there....”
A male voice came from the door, “Wow, I just came at the wrong time.”
Mindee smiled at her husband and opened her mouth to say something but Aloucia beat her to it, “If you weren’t my brother, my next response would have been....”
Mindee then cut her off, “Not if I do it right.” Aloucia raised her eyebrows at Mindee, who said, “What? He’s my husband, and I’ve learned how to do it right.”
Do’Varne’s jaw just about came unhinged and Aloucia picked up her cloak and threw it over her shoulders. “Watch out, V. After her getting too much information about her mom, she’s trying to spread the TMI stuff around.”
Do’Varne shook his head and said, “Well...at least you aren’t giving her pointers...the knowledge she has now is just about all I can handle.”
Aloucia visibly shivered, “Ewww, you two are just.... Ewww!”
Mindee laughed and said, “Bye Alou, thanks for the talk, hopefully see you soon!”
Aloucia waved as she walked out, “Bye Dee, I hope so as well!”
Do’Varne shook his head. “You two will be the death of me.”
Mindee kissed the elf hard, and afterwards breathlessly said, “No, that will just be me, and you won’t complain a bit.”
Do’Varne hugged his wife and said, “No, I won’t.”
Mindee took one last look at the books on the desk, before walking with her husband out the door. It was time for the test of the model. Although Mindee was worried about continuing to read the journal, she also knew she was too far into it to stop now. She sighed, took her husband’s hand, and got ready to test the model for the last time.
--
(( Well, Mindee handled it well enough, I suppose. Check back next week, Saturday, 5/25 @ 7pm CST to see how the model test goes, and hopefully Mindee will get back to the book. Typical...someone finally gets to the part that many would consider the 'good' part, and then makes everyone wait. ))

(poem) - Some Bosses Have it Coming
Bad bosses, bad bosses
They are all around us
Those that take their power
To throw us under a bus
I’ve dealt with them
All my life
They are good for nothing
Except way too much strife
But how do you get them back
When you’ve finally had enough?
Do you lash out and quite
As soon as it gets rough?
Say the day before your scheduled
Would that be okay?
To walk up to the boss
And tell them to have a nice day?
Or maybe you shouldn’t
Even show up at all
They’ll call to yell
And you can tell them where to crawl
Or are you the ‘better person’
And allow them to win
By turning in your two week’s notice
Showing up until your days end?
The fact is, many bosses have it coming
They allow their power to go to their heads
And treat their workers
As if they were brain dead.
Why do people get that way?
How do they fall so far?
Or are assholes predisposed
To climbing the corporate ladder?
All I know for sure
Is that I’m sick to death
Of all these douche bags
Being allowed to take another breath
So if you are in a position
To screw your boss over
I say go for it
Its not like they’d give you a good reference ever
Don’t let anyone take your happiness away
Especially not for a paycheck
Money might be hard to come by
But if your on the way out anyway...what the heck?

A Sane Person in this Insane World
I’m almost to the point that I’m ready to kill the next person that acts so f’n stupid with their own choices that its detrimental to everyone else around them. I mean, seriously.... This has GOT to stop. I can’t be the ONLY sane person in this insane world.
I understand that no one really changes, especially ignorant people, but you figure they’d figure it out sooner or later. If you shoot yourself in the foot cleaning a gun, surely you’ll remember next time to make sure its not loaded.... I mean...surely you would.....
