Out of the Blue

By Harlequinn • Jun 4th, 2008 • Category: Blog

It just happens like this sometimes. Prolonged bouts of silence, akin to a disappearing act, and then, just when you think I have vanished from the face of the Earth, I pop up when you least expect it.
Abracadabra.
Recently one of the duties that has been passed on to me in my job is to [...]



Interactive Blog

Ok, so its been a while…
Work. Life. Stuff. You know how that goes.
Which is not to say that I haven’t been pondering what my next musing here was going to be. Only that I haven’t had time to pen it.
This isn’t that musing, by the way – this is a completely different musing. The other [...]

Some mythic fairyland (no pun intended), steeped in mist and tradition, with a history that so vastly differs from my part of the country as it might as well take a rocket ship or a magic spell to get there.Now, mind you, the fact that [...]

I enjoy my process of self-dissection.
(This is not to say that I am sitting in my room listening to angst filled Emo music dragging razorblades across parts of my anatomy. Cutting is both disturbing and foolish, and if it is something that anyone out there is engaging in, stop it immediately and seek help. [...]
