The Results Are In

Thank you all for voting in my little poll. Here are the results:

Whose bio would you like to see posted?



Bonni McCallister Savage 7 (58%)
Will Savage 6 (50%)
Ericca Stanfield 5 (41%)
Daniel Whitney 4 (33%)
Aidan O'Malley 2 (16%)
Cassandra Stanfield 1 (8%)
Eric Stanfield 0 (0%)

Poor Eric, no one seems very interested in you...

Muse willing, I will have Bonni's bio posted some time tonight or tomorrow and will slowly finish the rest when I can.

Having said that, I may be stepping away for a short while and Bonni's bio may be the last thing I post until I work some things out. This may be either a very short LOA or a longer one depending on which way the tide takes me. I will not abandon the stories I follow, I just need...time I guess. How much I just can't say. I am not giving up, I am just taking another look.

The support I have felt from everyone through all my wacky moods and travails has been much appreciated and something I will not forget. Ever.

Thank you.

The Train Wreck



I won't lie, this was a hard piece for many reasons. I was definitely the one on the back of the car hanging on for dear life while Beth drove. And we drove right up to the edge of the cliff and slammed on the breaks. Yeah we will careen over another time...



This had to be one of my favorite shots. There were others but it would spoil the surprise. There's bloodshed and heartache all around...and like any train wreck you can't help but stare uncontrollably.

Song is by Nickelback, #11 in the list.

Because I Have So Much Free Time

I really would like to keep up with the bios but I have not really devoted much time or thought to it lately. However I thought it might give me a good push and also help me get back in touch with some of them if I was somehow compelled to do so.

I did a post quite some time ago about doing one for Aidan which I never finished but I would also like some feedback. So please check out the poll at the bottom of the sidebar and let me know what you would like. Either myself of my partner in crime S.B. will get to them in order of votes and as time allows. But it would definitely prod me on if I knew what you, the reader would like to know.

If I have left someone off that you are curious about, please leave a comment.

I may try and go back to the interview idea I had...because I have SO MUCH FREE TIME! Ha!

And I forgot to add that ANYONE can vote...

EDITED TO ADD: If anyone is interested in Julia Stanfield's bio, please post a comment. I forgot to add her name.

Everything Changes

This has been the common theme for just about everything I attempt to write lately. Everything changes. A lot of that has been happening the last few weeks but it really hit home today. I watched someone clean out a cubicle due to an unforeseen layoff that came as a surprise not only to that person but the those of us who were coworkers.

My life has been a series of changes; I suppose that is true and expected for everyone. But there has been too much, too soon for my comfort level. I don't deal well with it. At one time I considered myself a tumbleweed rolling with the wind. Maybe at one time I was. Right now I just want to wake up every morning with no greater challenge than to find my keys in a darkened house.

Some things however do stay the same. I looked into Facebook, something that everyone is doing to stay connected, find new connections, whatever. Everyone I work with does it. I figured what the hell. You have to add friends so of course the first place I looked was my kids. LMAO at what I found, nothing I didn't know but amusing to see it in technicolor. Or black and white and various shades in between. It was a fascinating trip down memory lane.

But in scanning their list of friends, seeing familiar names from pre-school to now, it was comforting to know they had that solid foundation, that connection that has supported them through so many heartaches. I don't have that kind of connection anymore, not to that extent. I used to but it turned to dust and blew away. Family, friends, they are everywhere but here. I miss the parties, the BBQs, I miss the people that made them special. So I am living vicariously through my boys. They are the grill masters now. Thankfully they love it when I hang with them and so do their friends. I am the mom that is more like one of the guys than anything else. I like that. I get to be cool.

Blah, blah, blah. I bet you thought this was a Sims blog. I decided it was whatever I make it. Including a long ramble about nothing really. Hell, if you made it this far through the post you deserve a gold star.

It keeps coming back to that one theme that drifts in and out. Everything changes. And everything stays the same.

Now this girl needs to learn a thing or two about paper airplanes, such as what happens when it drills you in the face. She'll figure it out. Maybe this is a Sims blog after all. *shrug*

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.
