Pride

Coming to terms with one’s sexuality is be a challenge I never really thought I would face. Admittedly, there were rumors in high school and college that I was a lesbian, mainly because I didn’t date, but primarily had friendships with other girls and did not outwardly express attraction to men very often (at least Continue reading

Fever Dream

In the continuing saga of “Allie’s Many Ailments,” I contracted both the flu and tonsillitis last week. It was the first time I have had to call off work in almost twelve years – the last time was Snowmageddon in 2011. I have also never been more miserable, including the conjunctivitis/hypertension/respiratory infection debacle of last Continue reading

Courage

“Courage, dear heart…” – C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Like many fantasy fans and aspiring writers, I was greatly influenced by C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia as a young reader. My copies of each book are well-worn, having been read cover to cover multiple times over my adolescence. The stories are Continue reading

The Nice GameStop Lady

I am a forgetful person in general. Not good with names or faces. But I do remember actions – and kindnesses. Especially when they come from strangers. My best friend and I, wannabe Pokemon masters to this day, bought Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver at their time of release. A wise decision, considering how much the Continue reading

Killer Swing

I was involved with sports for a significant portion of my adolescence. Basketball, soccer, track, and softball. I excelled in two of those (track and soccer) until a career ending knee surgery at age 15, and now I stick to the treadmill. On the bright side, I got out of it before I had time Continue reading

Tides

I have made it known in the past that I don’t like the beach. Specifically, I don’t like sand, hot weather, or the blaring sun. I don’t swim in the ocean (or go in it past my knees) and I don’t even really swim in pools. I am a temperate, sensible ~70 degree type girl. Continue reading

Beyond the Storm

when the world is ravaged by an unforgiving storm, and the sea threatens to swallow those who dare to approach, rain pounds against the slick, dark shore, until clouds part, the furious wind abates, the sun rises once more, to start the day anew, beneath a pink sky Continue reading
