And it's never seemed more golden and wonderful.
You see, 26 hours ago, I'd just seen a fireworks show and was drinking with a friend, talking about all the things I'll miss about Spain.
Then today...my purse was snatched. My wallet, keys, phone...gone.
I still have my passport, thank God, so I'll be able to board the plane on Thursday to go back to America. But I basically had to spend the afternoon shutting down my phone, my cards, freezing my bank accounts, and having my brother wire me money via western union. It's a complete shit-show, but on the bright side, they didn't nick my computer or passport - both of which are hella important - and neither my friend nor I were physically harmed. But it still feels so violating and scummy and I can't remember feeling this helpless and vulnerable since my dad died seven years ago. On the bright side, I have insurance on my phone, so I'll be getting a new one on Friday. I'll also be changing all my bank accounts and getting ready to move into a sweet apartment. So good things are on the horizon. This is just a shitty end to my year abroad.
Yeah...I'll be humming America the Beautiful when the plane lands in Chicago on Thursday afternoon.

Shit Nobody's Got Time For
Another birthday is on the horizon. And the older I get, the less time I've got for stupid shit. Here's a few things I've got no time for:
* Shitty books. If it doesn't grab my attention by page 100, it gets the heave ho.
* Shitty people. I had to cut my cousin out of my life. She made some shitty remarks following my dad's death about how I should grieve and that I didn't earn the money he left me and thus, didn't deserve it. She said a few other nasty things, so bye, Felicia!
* Online dating pen pals. If you're on OkCupid and you have no intention of meeting up with the people you're chatting with (or if you're being a catfish) and inste
Eating hater tots and drinking haterade.
You know why?
Because I fuckin' hate those butt-ugly, butt-plug-looking, stupid fucking minions!
And they're every-fucking-where, even here in Europe where I'd hope to escape those godawful things. They're not funny and their fanboys are even more obnoxious than the skunk grass that grew around my old neighborhood in Milwaukee. Maybe it's the moms on Facebook who ruined it for me with their stupid mom quotes accompanying pictures of the ugly little beasts. Or it's the people who make the minions all emo and shit and then post them on Facebook. Or maybe it's the fact that when I went home last month, I couldn't escape them, not even in my br
Of Books and Men
I try not to talk too much about my current works-in-progress, but one big project I've embarked on is a six-part miniseries taking place in 1880's California. There are supernatural and steampunk elements, which can definitely make it more fucked up than Bonanza and Gunsmoke, but I digress. My big happy moment is that I'm almost done with the first draft of the first book of the series! Huzzah! True, I'm not even 50% done with the series, but I put a dent in it, one that nearly cost me my sanity over these past couple of months, but it's nearly done nonetheless!
We won't talk about the edits. Those are going to be a bitch, especially after
Names and Other Matters
My ClayCowboys name got stale, having had it on DA for nigh onto three years, so I updated it.
I've also still got my job, because, you know, I'm awesome.
That is all.
