It’s funny.

You can have so many other irritations and frustrations in life that you bitch about when they come up and they sometimes seem like the worst things in the world.

Then something happens and you find out your grandmother had advanced cancer and has been given about 6 months to live.

Suddenly you wonder why you bitched about anything else. You get fed up with people and their own small frustrations.

You want to shake people and tell them to wake up and enjoy what they have and that nothing is near as bad as it seems for them.

And you want to beat up yourself for complaining about work or no sleep.

Your world narrows down to where the only focus is your family, specifically your mom who is here to help and your grandmother who is fighting every step of the way.

You take the good thoughts from people and thank them and refrain from punching your boss when he reprimands you for taking time off because your grandmother was in the ICU. You realize that family is it and the rest of the world can just go to hell if they don’t understand that you’ll choose your family first every time.

Something like this puts everything else in life into perspective. Life is precious. Even when your job, your love life and everything else sucks....remember that at the end of the day...you still have your life. Treasure it and the people that make it special.

There's just something wrong with your friends when you're RPing Star Wars (yeah, tabletop...we're old school) and 10 minutes of laughter ensure regarding the hiding of an object and the thought of a Lepi who is rocking with the Wang of Gondor.

For those who have no idea a Lepi is a giant rabbit alien. Think Frank from Donnie Darkko but with a charisma that's absolutely off the charts and a womanizer. Then you'd have Captain Gandon....who was apparently the proud owner of the Wang of Gondor.

I write a lot of stories. I write some original fiction, (a novel in progress), screenplays (yep, I plan to have it filmed one day) and a crapload of fanfiction.

This morning I produced one of my darker and stranger pieces that ended up being written from Harley's POV. What's amusing is that while it's gotten hits on ff.net and I know people have read it in my journal, not a single person has commented on it. One friend mentioned she wasn't sure how she felt about it.

I told her I wasn't either. It started off as just writing, trying to get some stuff out of my brain that for some reason had been bugging me since the day before. I ended up writing it as a fic. A short one, but rather odd sounding.

I'm pretty sure some people won't like it. But it didn't feel right to just write it and leave it on my hard drive or to delete it. So I posted it and now I'll wait for reviews and responses, good and bad.

I'm still wondering what possessed me to write it.

Probably not my best work. But more stream of consciousness than anything, which to me makes it kinda cool.

I'm a trivia buff when it comes to fandoms I love. So much so that no one will play Star Wars Trivial Pursuit with me anymore.

I was challenged by a friend who believed he knew all there was to know of SW trivia. I kicked his ass in the game, then had to do it again to prove it wasn't a fluke. I'll admit, it was close but in the end I still came out on top twice.

A few months later he and a friend teamed up to defeat me. It came down to one question...

And I still won.

I've now proudly made two fanboys turn in their geek cards.

For some reason, no matter how dorky and nerdy it makes me, I'm still proud I could do that. :)

You know that your life will forever be considered "weird", "odd" and be full of abnormal events from the moment that your neighbor bursts into your apartment while you're watching "Two Towers" with another neighbor and drops a loaded .45 in the middle of your living room floor that he stole from a crack smoking prostitute.

While you may have been pretty sure that your life was odd up until that point....that moment was the clincher.

Though someone stabbing themselves in your kitchen claiming the voices told them to while you and 2 buddies were playing star wars monopoly was icing on the cake.
