Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is . Top Story - January 2026.
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

The Last Day of the Year. Top Story - January 2026.
My New Year Countdown Clock indicates that I have just over five hours left before this year is over. I am stuck in the suburbs with my mother and stepfather, contemplating what I am going to eat and drink to celebrate this great change in our lives. The weather is cold, but I do not feel as though it has really affected my attitude about what the new year will bring...but I am not as happy with this moment as I usually feel.

Word of the Day: ホチキス. Top Story - December 2025.
I don't know the word for Staples. I remember I used to think that Hochikisu was an Onomatopoeia for a stapler rather than a brand name. I am pretty sure I already have this title as a theme, which is making me feel many sort of ways as Vocal is harassing me about payments currently.

The Poetry Dimension. Top Story - December 2025.
I have been telling stories since I first learned to speak. I’ve been writing since I first had the motor control to grip a pencil in my little ravioli fist. One of my two Bachelors degrees is in Creative Writing, for goodness sake! I like to imagine, dear friends and enemies, that I have made somewhat of a life for myself out of the written word. But if this is the case, dear reader, then why does poetry confuse and upset me so damn much?

Traumatic Experience With My Motorola Razr 40 . Top Story - December 2025.
I loved the idea of the flip phone because it reminded me of the phone I had as a teenager. I also liked how they reminded me of the old Gameboy advance SP consoles that I spent countless hours on after school. I was so excited to get one because it looked so cool and beautiful. Sadly the gimmick and faze did not last as I was tainted with nothing but problems.

Word of the Day: 立場. Top Story - November 2025.
I.. started talking about that guy in the tarot card discord. I am.. well I don't feel ashamed but I need to actually figure out if this is any good to continue to do, and if I am thinking about it, deep down I know it isn't.
