Not much has happened of late worth reporting,though the rate of people checking out books at work is skyrocketing much to my annoyance. It's not that I'm in favor of illiteracy, quite the contrary, I'm a bibliophile myself. But, just because someone CAN check out fifty books at a single time DOESN'T mean one SHOULD. There is such a thing as literary gluttony....
In the meantime, I'm still working on the novel-in-progress in my gallery (It's over 55000 words now! Gads... When I had to write essays in high school it nearly took a crowbar to pry out 100..), both on the next chapter and some revisions to the earlier parts. I'll probably be slowing down a bit as summer drops in like a damp towel, my brain and energy level do not mix well with heat and particularly humidity. But I don't intend to stop, so no worries there...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rules To Live By~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Read regularly, and as many books as you sanly can.
2. Try to watch a large variety and number of films, particularly ones that seem to be often overlooked.
3. Laziness is not a crime, but an overlooked virtue in small doses.
4. Always research whatever whim picks your brain.
5. Silence is a precious gift of relief for some. Don't ruin the moment by breaking it.
6. There is a beauty in everything, even the tragic, grotesque, macabre, and downright forbidden and obscene. Learn to appreciate it even if you don't approve.
7. Never pretend to be flawless. That is a flaw. By being honest about being defective, no one can accuse you of putting on a facade of perfection.
8. Evil is necessary and even beneficial when in balance with good. Otherwise life would be boring.
9. You don't need a relationship to be loved or to give it.
10. Science doesn't cover everything, nor should it. But don't disregard it, just keep an open mind for other possibilities.
11. Death is not to be feared, don't let others use it as a threat against you.
12. Respect the laws of nature. If you can't get along in harmony with the wild, you won't get along with the civilized.
13. Beware of extremes in thinking.
14. Take joy in life. There's nothing wrong with playing now and then.
15. Listen to your instincts and intuition, 9 times out of 10 they are right.
16. Allow yourself to experience every emotion in every degree. That way you will learn to handle them effectively.
17. Never let others use, possess, or abuse you. You are no one's pet, you are no one's tool, you are no one's plaything. You are a living being with a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
18. Never be afraid. EVER. Someone with nothing to fear is very powerful.
19. You are not better than others. Someone who thinks that is just asking to be taken down several pegs.
20. Kindness is rare and precious, help keep it in existance whenever you can.

Had a sick dragon father,
Mother with a mental age of 6,
Was raised by vampires,
Adopted a Goblin King who had a labyrinth for a brother,
An Opera Ghost for a new father,
And married a hobbit who does nothing but drink..
