Well, it’s about time! 4 days shy of 10 months, his top right tooth just broke through. The top left is not far behind. He’s going to look like a little rabbit, lol!

You know, I wrote a fanfiction novella once. About five years ago. It was written under a pseudonym that will die with me. It was 35,000 words, in 34 mini-chapters, based on characters from one of my all-time favorite video games, and it was CORNY! But it was a story. People read it and liked it. There are 185 comments, mostly teenage girls I assume, and they all write how wonderful it is, and how I should write stories for a living.

Usually once a year, I’ll have the inclination to check up on it again, and I did just this morning. There were about a dozen new comments since I checked last, even though the story is long since buried way down in the queue of about 4000 other fanficitons. He he, I have fans

Yes, I get a great deal of stupid amusement from that.

And yes, I should write and publish something for real. But it’s so much easier to put something out there for an audience of easily-pleased 15 year-olds. When your name isn’t on it. When you don’t know or care if anyone will ever read it, but then you find that they do.

This time, I really have not been avoiding my blog - my neighbors cut my cable, and along with it went my internet. We were down for two weeks. They claim another cable company cut the wires when they were having their cable installed. (Bullshit!) Funny thing is that I saw the Wow truck (competitor to Comcast) outside five days after my cable went out, and if they did nothing wrong, then why did they refuse to contact Comcast (several notices were left on their door) or let them in their basement to fix the problem? Whatever.

In those two weeks my baby has learned to crawl up the stairs, hold his own bottle (but not hold it up so he can actually get the milk), drink from a cup, eat cheerios, and he pulls up on EVERYTHING regardless of if the object will hold his weight or not

In two weeks, I started a diet, decided we will live here some day, and we are finally beginning the process of rearranging and moving my baby into his own room. At 9 months, lol!

In two weeks, I have not written a single word of fiction, but I did have an idea for a new story (ideas are like assholes…). I have read half of a badly-written, but entertaining book, and a bunch of magazines. Watched a few good movies (Babel and Jarhead). Finally found a bra that really and truly fits! And spent way too much money at Whole Foods. Did you know that they give you 10 cents for every bag you bring back and reuse?

Okay, that’s all.
