Israel.
Not really a secret I don’t get along with my dad. He’s heading to Israel tomorrow. To be clear, he’s far from Jewish - he’s Indian. As in, ya know, that country with a billion people. (Hate h...
Sign Language.
I work with a girl that is hearing impaired. She slurs a lot, but she’s obviously highly intelligent. It’s just interesting. I default to spanish on the line, even with white folk. I’ve learned h...
What is it like to menstruate?
No, seriously. I’ve been lucky to befriend some secure Women who will share things. But when it comes up in mixed company? Well, clearly guys can’t understand. (I’ve been told this over and o...
I got it.
TNG fanfic: Comedy goldmine. But I needed a hook. An emotional arc. I’ve written about my childhood. I’ve written about exgirlfriends. I’ve written about suicidal thoughts. But there’s one ...
November is coming.
That means it’s time for NaNoWriMo. I’ve been brainstorming a bit about how to proceed with my next novel. Thinking to the past about what has worked and what hasn’t. Last year’s “first act” wa...
Mental Health Days.
My Boss is a both concerned, and a little annoyed that I’ve called out two days in a row. But this will pass, this will all pass. I think I hit bottom yesterday. That’s a good thing. Now I t...
Hope.
Sometimes, I think part of happiness is lying to yourself a little bit. And trying very hard to believe that lie.
Battle Stations.
Calm under fire, isn’t that what a good Captain is? I have to cover in another store once a week. This all stems from a bit ago when there was a mutiny among managers and a bunch quit at once. ...
Absence.
It was easier when I could feign anonymity. Splay myself before the world, as I did a decade and a half ago. Then I shared too much. Sometimes I think about starting over. But, what then? As ...
Open Diary 2.
Given public opinion, I don’t think we can go back. I’m still undecided. I mean. This site is stable, friendly, and no drama. (As far as I know.) I have a “Lifetime Membership” on OD. But t...
Open Diary.
Rumor has it there is a very real possibility Bang Bang Bruce is resurrecting the site. I don’t know how to feel about this. (All previous diaries will be set to private until you make it public...
Fuck you, dad.
I think I want to be chef.
Thanks.
Things have been up and down. A lot of downs. But I want to thank all of my old Open Diary friends, and new friends, for being there for me. I know my worth, but you girls lift me up. (What. ...
Rawr.
I know I’ve been quiet. But I want to let all you lovely Ladies and Gents know that, just as I stayed with OD until the very end, Timmy will be here, too. I love you.
Downsizing.
My cats have finally calmed down. And by “cats”, I mean Kira. She was so thrown off when I moved back in with my dad last week. Poor thing. She was all ‘WTF IS THIS SHIT, DADDY, WHEN ARE WE G...
The Coin.
Long ago, there lived a Queen. She ruled her kingdom fair and wise. But she was alone. She wanted a partner. But not just some servant; Queens need to be strong all the time. Someone she could be...
Wavelength.
It’s interesting that something I get told I have a lot of empathy, and at other times, no empathy at all. I do not consider myself an empath like some of my friends. They’re gifted - they can ...
Do Not Disturb.
Meeting up with my OK* girlfriend went fantastic. Her kids like me, her family likes me, her roommate likes me. She gave me a family for Christmas. Totally worth the 1350 mile drive. Lots of l...
On Lexapro.
I’ve been on it for around two and a half months. Beyond the physiological adaptations, it’s taken some time to game when to take it. That is, the only real side effect has been insomnia. I initi...
On Realistic D/s.
The following was written for Fetlife. Viewer Discretion is advised. I’ve been thinking about D/s relationships and the way the word “lifestyle” is used. For me, it conjures images of latex, ru...
Feminism: We still need it.
Let me point out an obvious doublestandard. Trump says he wants to “grab women by the pussy”, and it’s waved off as “locker room talk”. That statement was just the icing on a misogynist clusterf...
Mission Accomplished.
Meanwhile, in more positive news, I just cracked 50k on Day Nine of NaNoWriMo. What blows my mind is I managed only a thousand or so words on the first day, and then just barely brought myself t...
Don't forget both the House and Senate will be red.
I voted for Bernie in the primary, and Hilldawg in the general. I’m not the reason we’ll be saying “Sieg heil, unser Fuhrer Drumpf.” That we survived Dubya isn’t really comforting. I could shru...
NaNoWriMo Advice.
I’ve tried eight times, succeeded four times, so I know a little bit about the writing process. Mind you, this is just what works for me. Characters over plot. Awesome characters always trump ...
Do Not Make It So.
The dream started as if I was waking up. I checked my phone. It was 9:30 am, but I was confused as to why it wasn’t completely bright out. I was in my old-old bedroom. I looked outside and sa...
Book Description
Public entries which I hope are on par with Classic Timmy™.
