New Report On Me

I am back, and feeling really good about myself these days...or so I sometimes like to think.

I have had a strong conviction in the religion I am choosing to walk, and going to do my level best to follow it...I am a witch, and I can't help that. I keep hearing those words in my head as I go along.

I have begun a new project that includes writing my book and new poetry.

30 Seconds To Mars' Jared Leto kind of reminds me of Caine, my sometimes bad boy who loves Arianna.

Alasdair Raven is Arianna's twin...a widow with a few surprises in store.

I am planning to begin a writer's blog for this or just use my webpage for this. I think it would be easier for me in the long run. I do need to work on it or create a new one for writing. Not sure yet what I want to do.

I have been in my own apartment now for almost a year. I like it, but it is hard because my job isn't that lucrative. I am now searching for alternatives to the financial problem, but I am going to hang on for a while longer. I have been at my job for over a year, and I really don't see much of a future with it lately.

I do love having my own place, but I just don't like living so close to the city.

I have all of my freedoms back and able to have a lot of privacy, and that is good, I just miss my Ian Simon Sullivan. I can't afford to have a cat yet, but I do want one so bad, it kills me.

My neighbors are alright. One is definitely rude, another stays to herself, and the new one across the hall hasn't truly moved in yet...and the one on the bottom floor is the sweetest lady here, but you can tell she is lonely. I don't mind her coming up to chat or whatever, she is kind too.

I want to find a new job soon. I cannot afford to live my life and be able to save money in the one I am working in.

They killed Osama bin Laden. I am glad that he is finally gone, but part of me feels like his ending was anti-climatic considering that the War on Terror started so epically and so tragically...you would have thought that after all this time, we could have given those victims some form of satisfaction with his death, but from what is said, it happened so quickly nobody knew that he was dead until the end of the whole thing. He is truly gone now and we can breathe easier knowing one less man is on the Most Wanted list of all time.

I am currently stalled in my reading. I have a pile of TBR's on my nightstand, but I have been way to preoccupied with many things lately to get into them. Or I have been too tired from working and too stressed from my other activities to get into any one of them. Sad because I love reading so much.

The Awaiting Diana Blog is gone now, almost. The other creator and I are working to find a different path to take with it, but for now, we are on hiatus with it.

I am so tired these days. I can never get enough sleep, or enough relaxation time.

I am going to go ahead and create a new blog or a new web page for my writing. I think it will be easier if I do.

Lynn Viehl, Twitter

I have found that reading is the greatest comfort I have these days. I have just discovered a new author named Lynn Veihl, and her Darkyn series. I am on the second book in the series called PRIVATE DEMON.

I don't have many stats for Lynn as of yet, but finding stuff on her is kind of hard yet.

Lynn's work is far different from Sherrilyn Kenyon, but she is fun to read. A bit dark, but I am getting into it slowly.

So far, there are about seven books on the shelves, but I have done like SK and bought about four of the books so that I can stay into the series rather than finish a book, then bite my nails waiting to go the the book store to buy the next in line.

I figure that when it's time, I will be able to get the last three in the series soon....I hear that the very latest in the series is Robin of Locksley as a Darkyn.

Darkyn are basically vampires with a heirarchy complex, so to speak...they are a race who's enemy is the Bretheren who hide behind the Archdiocese. They use God as an excuse to maim and torcher men who rose from the grave centuries ago, similar to the old legends of Vampires.

However, the Darkyn have a twist...they are Knights Templar who came back from the Holy Land with this curse/disease that allows them to live forever....the usual type of suspects for a vampire style story, eh???

I will find more information online about Lynn Viehl and get it here as soon as I can. I am very behind in my Awaiting Diana Bood Review blog, and I will probably put it there as soon as I get reading on all the novels.

Right now, I am borrowing BY THE RAVEN'S MOON and DEVIL MAY CRY audio books by Sherrilyn Kenyon from the library and I may spend some time listening to books I have already enjoyed reading....

Sometime soon, I will be working on my website and other blogs around the net...I have just been busy reading and trying to get home from work in one piece lately that I haven't even thought of getting online much except from my cell phone....and now that I am doing the forum newsletter bi-weekly, I can spend more time on the Dark-Hunter message boards and other various places.

I am limiting myself on my Facebook because there isn't much there for me to get into, and trying to spend a lot more time on Myspace and Twitter...or rather, figuring out Twitter...lol
http://twitter.com/raven1746 as soon as I figure out what I am doing there, I'll let ya know...lol

I am also on Bebo, but that one is something I still need to figure out too...too much going on!!!

Have a great weekend, and happy reading,
