White Wedding

A distant relative of mine was married on Saturday. Good for them. I wish them luck. Given the odds it won't be easy. The only things worth noting about that night are my sister and I both left our own spouses...at home, there was an Elvis impersonator, my Mom and Dad came in second as being married the longest in a room full of about 160 people and another relative insisted on arguing with me about how old I really am. After about 15 minutes of being called a liar, that conversation ended with me saying "Yes I am thirty fucking five years old. Now drop it." My age seems to arouse such curiousity in people. Do I really look that young or is it that I just act too juvenile? Don't answer that.

The Sign of Four

"With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture-marks. Finally he thrust the sharp point home, pressed down the tiny piston, and sank back into the velvet-lined arm-chair with a long sigh of satisfaction."

THE SECOND COMING

In the time that I have been away people have had kids (multiple times), married, divorced, gotten new jobs, graduated, moved and pets have died. A lot has happened. I don't really know where to begin again so I'm just diving in. I have to start somewhere. I've realized that I actually kinda liked writing on here and missed it so here I am, speaking to practically no one. But for me it doesn't matter who's reading it's just about me getting "it" out of me.
I recently became aware that I have been sucked inside myself so this is how I think I can reverse that negative behavior.

Now, just like when I started this, I don't expect that I'll be posting every day but I can pretty much bet that after a few posts are under my belt I'll pick up the pace. I won't advertise that I'm a glorious writer bursting with talent & humor. I'm not, by any means. But I do think every once in awhile I capture something that is worth something. Those are the moments that at least keep me hooked and dedicated.

Besides, my mother-in-law just asked to be my friend on Facebook. It's time to come back.

I wanted to refresh the whole look of the blog and I still intend to but I didn't have any luck at my first attempt. I'm afraid I'll lose all of it. I'm rusty, so if anyone has any tips or sites that are trustworthy and easy, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers!
