So, with all the stuff going on lately, I decided I'm not participating in Nano this year. I know, I know. It's a crying shame. Oh well.

Just a few days ago a long-time close family friend was murdered. That's right. Murdered. He was shot-in the leg-right in town and left to bleed out right there in the street. There are about six different stories circulating about what happened, so we'll probably never really know the truth... Which is sad. This guy was younger than me. He was my brother's best friend. So, if you would be so kind, a moment of silence for Jonathan Clavey. May he rest in peace and find the un-ending love he was unable to attain here. See you in better days, Jon-boy...

Beyond that horrific and saddening bit of news, my sister is doing well after her accident on Halloween. She's seeing a lawyer now, so hopefully things will be taken care of as they should be. She's finally going to get her GED and hopefully will continue her education afterward. We all think she should.

Everyone at my house is getting sick now. I -just- (yes, at 4:30am) had to call my mom in to work because she can hardly move. I did nothing but sleep all day yesterday, and I'm amazed I'm up right now. My nephew came home Monday with a fever, and didn't go to school yesterday. I think we'll probably be keeping him home today, too. In truth, my mom should be going to the ER because about 15 years ago, she had to have her spleen removed. She has next to no immune system. With this H1N1 floating around, she's the most susceptible to coming down with it. It also poses the biggest threat to her life. But, she's stubborn as an ox, so... I hope she sees the folly of her ways and takes heed to what we're saying.

My internet big brother and I are starting to work on our long-time pet project again. I've gotten back into writing for it a little. Trying to work on a website for it, but having hell moving things around. If anyone is kind enough to want to help me out, you'll get credited on the site. Also, anyone wanting to do guest/gift art for us would be more than welcome-and credited-as well. I've gotten a few graphics made, mainly of the girls, but don't worry, the guys will get their dues, too! Promise!



So, I came across this journal with a contest that sounds like fun. It's being held by and here's the link to the info for it. [link]

If you're holding any contests that you'd like me to pimp in my journal, just let me know. I'd be happy to do so.
