"you should get outside. enjoy the sun. oh wait. you can't."

"there’s no such thing as a bad idea. just poorly executed awesome ones."

"i told you i'd save your creepy boyfriend."

"sorry i can't unhinge my jaw like a snake to consume alcohol."

"how do you know?"
"came to me in a dream. i was naked. you would have loved it. start packing."

“i do believe in killing the messenger. you know why? because it sends a message.”


"i'm worried. jeremy’s smoking again."
"is his stash any good?"

"is she hot?"
"yeah but she can be weird."
"hot trumps weird. trust me."

"i can't believe Kol was a vampire."
"well, didn't you find it weird you made a friend so fast? have you met you?"

"the next time we complel him remind me to make him better at baseball."


"we'll talk when i get back."
"give my regards to the squirrels."

"aren't you afraid that one day all the forest animals are going to band together and fight back? i mean, surely they talk."

"'dear diary, a chipmunk asked me my name today. i told him it was joe. that lie will haunt me forever'."


"clearly you want to die, otherwise you wouldn’t be here, so..."
"what can i say? i'm a thrill seeker."

"you know, if you want to see me naked all you have to do is ask."

"aaah! i'm shocked! stefan's not a virgin?"

"hey, hey, hey. easy on the hand. the guy's a quarterback."

"sorry i killed you. twice."

"my subconscious is haunting me, ric. please tell me you have something for that."

"double shot."

"[ric] we were badass."

"are you telling me your vampire hating alter ego has a stake that can kill an entire line of vampires, possibly mine?"

"that's exactly what i'm telling you."

"ric, the world can't stop just because you're an accidental psycho killer."


Love me some snark.

Also... Here's to you, awesome bromance that was the glorious Alaric/Damon union! You were the real reason I watched this show. WHY DIDN'T THE WRITERS DO MORE FOR YOU GODDAMNIT. You shall be missed. Many single tears.

it's been done for a week or so, took me less than a month, too. no, it's not the one I've been working on, on and off, for years now (the one with the snippets on this journal in several places). it's an entirely new one.

What now?

well, as anyone who knows anything about becoming a published author will tell you, it's extremely unlikely that it'll get published. shit, the odds almost make you want to say "oh, fuck it", but i'll try anyway, because what do i have to lose? after I sit on it for a time and edit it to a final draft that i'm comfortable with, I'm going to find a literary agent (oh what fun! query letters awaaaaaaay!). even securing a literary agent doesn't mean i'll get published, but at least it ups my chances, anyhow, if i do.

i'm horrible when it comes to summarizing and "selling" an idea, but I have to learn to get good at it if I want to get a literary agent. i expect a whole lotta trial and error. it's a learning process.

don't worry, the grammar's better than this journal.

also, is it possible to have a midlife crisis before midlife?
alsoalso, i'm gonna have to get those wisdom teeth pulled because they're starting to fuck with me, those sassy bastards. i knew this day would come. it's you or me, teeth. handtohandtohandtohand....

It's true, too.

-1 1/4 cups of whole milk
-1 cup half-and-half
-2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
-2 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
-1/2 tablespoon sugar
-1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-1/2 teaspoon instant espresso or coffee powder

Heat the milk and the half-and-half in a saucepan on medium heat to just right before it simmers, then remove from heat and melt the chocolates in it. Then add the sugar, vanilla extract and espresso/coffee and whisk that mother down. Serve with a little bit of whipped cream on top.

It makes about two good mug-sized servings. If you just want one, cut the recipe in half.

Also, I made chocolate cupcakes with this awesome chocolate and coffee ganache.














I got a real bad chocolate craving...

is happening to storm-artists?

It's like a whole shit-ton of preteens just highjacked the site recently, bad art and all.

"What's bad art? Isn't it subjective?" Derp, derp, derp.

It's my subjective opinion that the majority of art being unloaded on this site lately is subjective shit, drawn by subjectively idiot kids, half-assedly, just so their subjectively idiot friends can (subjectively) dump a pile of faves and stars on each other's subjectively shitty works of shit. Just so they can appear in the weekly showcase. It's just that important to them.

Just taking a look at the weekly showcase makes my head hurt. Oh unreliable, fickle system, why have you forsaken me? Perhaps they should switch to having the mods for each gallery pick a piece they feel is a good representation of that particular gallery for that week and showcase that instead. Ya know, instead of the amount of stars+faves=showcase. If a clique of friends decide to just constantly ass-pat each other we get... well, what's in the showcase for the last few weeks (barring a few actual good ones lost in-between).

I'm noticing a repeat offender, too. Silly little Brit. Why do I get the feeling that the girls who appear in a negative light in his comics are all the girls who wouldn't give his sad ass the time of day in school? Oh and delightful attempts at totally original and current humor! White guys can't be rappers says the totally not stereotypical black guy! Wow. Inspired political jokes that he totally didn't usurp from other places! Totally original sprites that weren't made with other preexisting bases...at all! My god. This kid's a gold mine of comic genius.

Forget everything I just wrote.

I want this kid to get more weekly showcases. This is very amusing.
