Helen6 Back when I was living in NYC, I had an unfortunate encounter with an African-American woman who was just a bit on the far side of the “psychopathic bitch” line. I am thinking she crossed that line at about age 3 and just kept going until the moment I happen to come across her, about 50 years later.

My partner and I were on the F-train heading to work and, as is usual of the F-train, it was cram packed with people. We were standing in one of the sections between two sets of doors when this woman steps in and pushes her way to where we are.

At first nothing happen, because neither of us really saw her. We had gone a few more stops, when suddenly the train came to a quick stop, like someone hit the emergency brake, between stations. The sudden stop caused quite a few of us standing people to lose our footing, and my partner and I bumped into this woman’s backpack.

We both apologized, but she would have none of it. She went off on a tirade that lasted for the next 20 minutes until my partner came to his stop. She threatened to “pop” us “wonder bread, Crisco, faggots” right there on the train.

I was getting pissed, but she was nothing more than a mouthy bitch, so I just ignored her. This, of course, got her going even more. She got louder and more threatening between my partners stop and her own, and I could see the other passengers getting annoyed and/or nervous that she was actually going to do something on the train.

So, now that my older writing website is no longer working and does not seem to be fixable, I have added all of the writing from this semesters Creative Writing class here.

I will be adding the older writings as I get time.

Hope you enjoy them!

So, I have finished my final portfolio for my Creative Writing class, and have added my six poems to my writing site. I also updated my short fiction piece “Chapter’s End” with the changes that the professor wanted added.

Another non-fiction piece, called “Surviving ‘My Death Sentence’” was added as well. It is a short essay on how I came to write the non-fiction piece “My Death Sentence.”

Hopefully I won’t get too burned out with all of the work I still need to do to finish this semester that I can write a little more and add it to the site as well.

You can go to my writing section by clicking here. The writing site is down, permanently.

Now, onto other news. IT’S FREAKING SNOWING!!!

It’s May 8th, and it’s snowing! It was nearly 90 degrees a couple days ago, and now we have snow! No wonder the phrase “global warming” is being replaced with “climate chaos.”

The semester is coming to a very quick end, and I have so much I still need to get done, but fortunately I have finished one class already, gotten my portfolio finished, have almost finished one of two final projects for another class, and have started working on another project I have to do.

I also have three tests to study for that are coming up in the next 10 days.

Will I be getting straight A’s this semester, like I have the last two? Probably not. My Algebra/Trig class and Marketing class are more than likely not going to be A’s this semester. Hopefully they will not be low enough to keep me off the Dean’s List. They shouldn’t be, but I am not positive. We’ll have to see.

Another story added!

So, I recently turned in my piece of short fiction, got back the comments from the professor and fellow students, and have posted it to my writing website. Feel free to read it by going to the site here or directly to the story here.

It’s rather long, so be prepared to be reading for a while. Also, I rated it PG-13 on the website because it deals with some rather mature subject matter. It does NOT have any F-bombs in it, otherwise I would have put it under Rated R.

Hope you enjoy it!

My first assignment for my Creative Writing class is due as a draft on Monday. It is supposed to be 3 pages long, mine is 11. I guess I can’t really keep things short! LOL

I have posted the draft to my Writing website (link is to the side of this page) as two separate parts, but listed under the page labeled Non-Fiction.

You can check out the website here or go directly to Part 1 or Part 2.

Hope you enjoy them!
