I don’t really know what I am going to do with this short story yet, but do you think I should continue.?

  • Posted on November 17, 2010 at 3:22 am

This is just the first 2 paragraphs and if I decide to keep it, it will probably be about 10-15 pages long. Judging on these firs two paragraphs what do you think??

“I hate you!” screeched Cresenthia at her intoxicated father. And she slammed her bedroom door so hard it knocked the framed and autographed My Chemical Romance photo off of the wall and blew her rainbow colored hair across her tear stained face. Her father just waved his large hairy hand as if swatting a fly and took another gulp of his Michelob Ultra, without a care in the world for his timid little teenage daughter.
Cresenthia leaned against the door frightened and exasperated, and after all these years of going through the same exact thing she couldn’t even say aloud what she was always thinking in her head. “My father’s a drunk!” She wanted to say it, she wanted to scream it from the roof tops, and she wanted to tell her father right to his face. But her mouth could not make the words that her mind formed every night from about 7:00 until he passes out, so Cresenthia dealt with it, by crying and cutting, and holding up the “emo” title which she had at school.

Should I continue to pursue the Fire Department(City of Los Angeles)?

  • Posted on October 4, 2010 at 10:27 am

I received a letter from the City of Los Angeles informing me that I have a scheduled Firefighter exam.

The problem is that even though on my online application I informed them on EVERYTHING from my past, I do in fact have some past character issues.
1) like most people I have dabbled in some recreational drugs, namely ecstasy and Marijuana, but I am not and never was a frequent user or addict.
2) I have a G.E.D.
3) I have a traffic related Misdemeanor from 2004, and was arrested, and arrested again for a bench warrant in Febuary 2007 stemming from that case.
4) I have spent a majority of my life as a ‘starving’ artist, and never became grounded at any job that I occupied. I am 29 today(I look 18).

Here are some brief positives:
1) I am in excellent physical shape
2) I am quick, cool headed under pressure, and smart.
3) I can and do take direction, and I am also a proven leader.
4) I opened my own small business in 2006 pertaining to my art, legitimized in July 2007 w/the County.
5) I now have an eight month old daughter, whom I am totally focused and has grounded me, so much so that I am willing to switch paths and give up my art, NO questions asked!

I know that I can do the job, both mentally and physically. It took me a while, but I have grown up. It’s hard when you had to guide yourself by living through mistakes, but regardless I take full responsibility. I want a new purpose in life and my daughter deserves the life that I can afford her.
p.s. Once again, I wrote ALL of the bad stuff and job stuff on my application. Do I have a shot?
This wan’t all of a sudden, or thirst for glory or anything like that.
Firefighting, Police officer, and military were two things that were on my mind since high school, it’s just that I folowed one path and it didn’t pan out.

Example of who I am: I’m an avid painter and poet just as hobbies, but I am also a very good football player(QB/S)

Kind of get my eclectic personality?
That is why I said SWITCH not change.

How to kick alcoholic out of house after they have been thru 5 rehabs. continue to need someone else to blame!

  • Posted on September 27, 2010 at 4:19 pm

Seems to me that I have been a huge enabler to my brother for many many years. All the time receiving far away phone calls when he even became homeless. When is it ever enough for them to hit ‘rock bottom’? Despite losing everything he has MANY times over, including the trust of his own 16 yr old daughter, it does not seem to be enough.

I now fully realize it’s so important to take care of oneself, not to mention my own ‘newer’ family. But alcoholic seems always to need someone to blame for their screw ups, and I’m usually ‘it’.

Also realize that they must WANT to help themselves first and foremost. No matter what you try to do to help them, nothing ever seems to be enough. They always want the past to just remain the past.

But until they get around to making amends, to me….one can forgive, but never forget; especially when continually rubbed in your face.

Only thinks he’s harming himself; but it affects our whole family! How to get them to realize the impact? HELP PLEASE!

Should I continue this with a sequel?

  • Posted on September 12, 2010 at 4:32 pm

I am writing a story about a girl’s depression,her hope,her trust,and finally,her suicide. I’m 11 and I need some help on if I should or not,continue this. This is cut up into bits,so I’m only giving you a bit.
————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Screams and bottles crashing against where what everyone heard in the suburban town. Johanna screamed again,and was met with another thrown bottle crashing against her face.
“You ugly little piece of crap!” Her mother roared,throwing her newly opened bottle of whiskey at the 17 year old,making Johanna sob even harder than she had before. Everything had gone so well,she thought,ignoring her mother’s constant screaming and hollering.Johanna’s mom finally stopped her rampage,and dismissed herself to another bottle of whiskey.Johanna quietly tiptoed to her room,choking sobs emerging from the cad’s throat. Why did her mother HAVE to ruin her 6 months sobriety by a simple drink of red wine?Their lives had all gone so well,she thought,and just let herself cry.People heard her screams,she knew,but yet no one had stopped to ask what was going on.She couldn’t take it anymore. She couldn’t take the insults at school just because she was lesbian,she couldn’t take being a serial killer’s daughter anymore,she couldn’t take her mom’s alcoholism,she couldn’t take her emotions.
When she heard her mom’s door slam for the night,she grabbed what was left of her money and ran down to the gun store. This is it,my last night of suffering. My last night in Manhattan. She quickly bought the gun and showed the man her fake ID. She ran into the middle of the street,and put the gun to her head,and pulled the trigger. Johanna fell to the ground,her eyeballs rolling to the back of her head. Crowds of people swarmed about the girl,asking such stupid questions.
“Is she dead?” One elderly woman asked,met by only quiet “Yes”s. She was such a beautiful girl,they all thought,and ended it only 3 weeks until her 18th birthday…

Is this good? That’s it for now.

Should I just leave or should I continue to fight for my daughter and my husband.?

  • Posted on August 23, 2010 at 9:24 pm

Previous information My daughter is 18 years old, and my husband her father don’t have a really good relationship. They always seem to get into an argument. My daughter has a full time job and is currently buying a car. My husband thinks she is making foolish purchases. They often argue about choices she makes and what he thinks she should do. Every little issues including her social, work, entertainment life always end up into a fight between the two. Two nights ago my daughter got drunk, took a cab home and the next day wanted her father to take her to her car. He told her he wouldn’t because there was no reason she should have gotten drunk. SHe then made a stupid hurtful comment, “Next time I’ll just drive drunk, and hope I die and see how you feel.” He told her that he would do nothing more for her and she told him that she wished that they we rent related. He told her that she was a loser and would mount to nothing and called her an embarrassment. I couldn’t listen to anything after that. But my daughter left the house and I haven’t seen her since, she isn’t answering her cellphone. I’m worried and I cant take this fighting anymore and I want an answer to why this is happening. My daughter never runs off so I wander if he kicked her out.

I don’t want to deal with this anymore. I’m mad at my husband for makign her run off but I’m mad at my daughter for the way she is acting. I want to take my other daughter and leave for a while. I can’t deal with this right now.
She has always done what I asked of her when it coems to the household.
