Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

This introspection is certainly written far earlier than the evening, but starting from early Friday afternoon, I will be without internet until Sunday. I will be celebrating the new year up north with my family, friend, and girlfriend where there are no computers or TV. Which is nice. As a result, there will be no OneWord blog entries for Friday and Saturday. Storyteller will be a day late. I know I intended to post every day, but sometimes life demands a break or vacation from even creative outlets. So once I'm back and provided that my house hasn't been broken into during our trip (yay, irrational worrying), I will be back to posting on Sunday. A lot of things sort of blew up in my face this week. As a result, I'm back to square one in multiple ways. It's injured me mentally and emotionally, and the sting may not go away for some time. Ultimately, however, it'll make me stronger, and I'll take a step forward and continue doing what I'm good at while i...

Saturday's Storyteller: "Though it had been amusing at first, the mounted deer head's constant quoting of memes was beginning to wear on us."

by Belinda Roddie   Though it had been amusing at first, the mounted deer head's constant quoting of memes was beginning to wear on us. So was the bear skin rug's persistent singing of Parry Gripp jingles.

When the distant din of shells on wood had subsided, we were greeted with the "Nom nom nom" song. "Ron," I said, "they're already dead." Groaning, Ronald placed his gun aside and pulled out the bottle of Jack Daniels from the cupboard. As he poured him and me two glasses, he shut out the incessant LOLCats references emitting from the bullet-riddled deer head's mouth. He told me he knew he shouldn't have left the laptop open for so long last night, but he had been rather busy "playing checkers" with his girlfriend. I didn't know why he had to be specific with his girlfriend, bu...

Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

This week has been, for lack of a better word, eventful. I've been getting to know my students, getting to know my mentor teachers, and getting to know my credential peers. I'm being encouraged to start lesson development, even though it's extremely nervewracking and I still have to finish Cannery Row before I can start doing anything reasonably academic for it. I've worked with my bookstore manager to reduce my hours, and I've picked up new students at my other teaching job. And to top it all off, I've realized that I still have a long way to go in order to truly accept my genderfluidity. While my post on May 15th earlier this year, in which I officially came out as genderfluid, is fairly to the point in regards to how I feel, there have been times in which it hasn't been that simple. Yes, genderfluidity does mean I occasionally feel more female or male, and it also does mean I can feel like both. It also kind of means I can feel like neither. It really d...
