Oughta be in a museum — we were!

In reading Erin’s trip down memory lane, it jogged my memory of a visit to the Welsh National History Museum at St Fagans, near Cardiff. I had my two children in tow who were probably about eight and six, my daughter being the elder.

You may remember several weeks ago, one of Bailey Summers' original songs from Jem got a very positive reception. At the time, only the lyrics existed.

When I read it, I started to get the inklings of a tune, and with Bailey's permission, have attempted writing some music for it (my first attempt at composing since GCSE Music in 1993-95!). Bailey approves, so now the next stage is to publish it here, in the hope we've got some arrangers / musicians / singers who can take Bailey's words and my melody / chords, and work some magic with them.

Enjoy!

I lost a button. It says -1. Why oh why did I loose a button? Do I need a needle and thread to sew it back on?

I like my buttons.

BOO HOO. :-(. I am sad.

If anyone remembers the Rodney Dangerfield flick you know the reference. But I thought it was appropriate to post here and no one else had.

I actually plan on being at this event, not sure if that's a selling point or not. But I figured I would post it so all could see. Hope to see some there.

As most of you know, I like to try different things with my writing, some work, some dont. With my latest piece, I wanted to create an interactive story, where the readers would determine what happens next. Based on the number of kudos, I'd say it didnt come off as well as I could have hoped.

Ah, well.

Something completely irrelevant but as it's from the lighter side of the news, fun nonetheless...

I find hope when after all the governmenyt says about people's rights they lose a law suit for descrimnation. Way to go Mia. http://pacifica.patch.com/articles/transgender-pacifica-woma...

Just wanted to share a bit about my latest piece, "Understanding Rachel". It came about as I was on the phone with Tels, and suddenly I looked at how I was sitting. Without thinking about it, I had slipped into a very feminine posture. Even my mom noticed, and started calling me a teenage girl. So after my phone call, I started writing it down, and the story just flowed from there. I hope you all enjoyed it, and thanks to those who have commented.

Hi there, Wishful Thinking page 2 is about to go up in about five hours, I hope you enjoy it, believe me things will start to make sense soon - promise.

well, I had a productive day off today. I took a load of my old boy clothes to a charity, and then took my bottles to the depot to be recycled. The lady at the depot called me Ma'am, which was a nice touch. Then I took the money I had made and got a pedicure done, which really made me very happy, even if I found the lady who worked on me rather brusk. The end result of it was I now have radioactive pink toenails, which will keep me smiling for a bit.

Nice to actually get some stuff done, you know?

I'm back from Germany where I've been travelling around the east with my Dad and Gaby!

Oh yeah i was doing some bike ride thing too wasn't I? Well i completed my 5th 200km (125 mile) Spreewald Marathon in a little under7.5 hours including stops and a puncture! That was preceded by a so so 8km time trial where i managed 43rd in my age group and 145th overall out of 223 participants.

Normal service will be resumed shortly!

Last night on TV, Dancing With The Stars featured a young ballerina. Born in dire circumstances in Sierra Leone, West Africa, she was adopted and arrived in the US, diseased and scarred by her young life. But she wanted to become a dancer, her mother said. The girl has trained all of her life and eventually received a scholarship to the American Ballet Theatre and there she was, dancing on national television.

Did her parents tell her, “You’re too young to know that you want to be a dancer”?

Long day today cut down and tree at a friends place. Piled the logs and cut up all the brush.. by myself. Then took a number of parts off some cars.

Tommorow is a rest day for me so I can kick back relax and maybe get that darn chapter of The mysterious case out and maybe another chapter of some other stories im working on.

SaraUKs TMAW chapter will be posted later tonight as I've got to go help a friend for a few hours.

Once upon a time there was a small child, and like all children do they dreamed there dreams and played there games, But something was different, this child didn't play the games that other People thought they should, they didn't act the way others thought they should. The Child didn't know they were different, other children played the games they played and dreamed the dreams they did, If others could then why can't I.
