Really, it started with a jar of marshmallow fluff.

Stranger....then fiction....

2024-12-10T19:56:37Z

Back working on "Wedded Twist" again. Shocked at how real this graf feels, though it's fiction.

WIP Wednesday...

2024-10-09T21:54:48Z

Maybe I'll do this every week, but I won't promise. But here is one for today!

But if this blog truly has a job, I wouldn’t feel like I did it if I didn’t read and make notes on “Knife” since there is so much inside it that has also been here, in a halting way: crime, disability/recovery, and writing. I admired when on page 63 Rushdie wrote that he wanted his attacker, known in the book as A, to “look me in my one eye, and tell me the truth.” Because everything the young man did say seemed so painfully inadequate. Rushdie writes that he might not have been there if his airconditioner hadn’t gone out, if his newly-married life hadn’t hit such a high, and, of course, if he hadn’t written a book in “Satanic Verses” that had become That Book for so many. (His assailant barely knew about that, it should be noted, but that kind of notoriety does appear to leave a trail.) It’s hard to read that and not fall back into that perversely-comforting true-crime trap, that in some ways, might be part of the real draw for some of us: Suddenly, instead of a lonely-and-broke Saturday night(again), it seems suddenly perceptive not to have a date for six years, forcing The Friday’s Killer to look elsewhere for his yummy treats

Some intensity, from the blog...

2024-05-09T21:12:47Z

I feel good about how it came out, though, even as I wish I could share what great happiness felt like.It's nice to feel more honest. I mean, for a long time when I was a kid, I didn't really share what disability felt like.
http://bohemiancrip.blogspot.com/2024/05/a-type-of-grief.html
I had another friend, whom I regret losing touch with, who'd been through some shit they write those horrifying TV movies about who was surprised to tell me that she thought everyone's disability comes with some trauma. Well, maybe mine is comparatively low-level, but I finally felt like I know what she was getting at, and it isn't really where most abled people tend to focus, ie, neighborhood kids taking off on their bikes and I watch game shows. Though they did, and I did, right? But I wasn't really put out about that part. Maybe more that Kevin and Winnie and them,(let's say...my neighborhood wasn't that cute!) never really did slow their roll to make time for me.

Feels Like Old Times...

2023-10-19T00:13:51Z

writing about TV comedy again, but it made a nice distraction from possibly embarrassing my friend by being a...bit vivid in a public forum. Maybe I care a little less than I used to. He saved me from me, possibly.

So As Not to Alienate My Tens of Readers...

2023-09-23T20:13:01Z

this is the link I should have posted last. Blogger was, like, hiccupping that day and something strange happened. But it looked fine for me because I was updating. (Also, if I don't love a post as much as I expect, I do tend to ignore it afterwards.karlht may pay a little too much attention, but that's fans for you! I still appreciate the thoughtful attention, though.

Also, in the last sentence it should be "people who *have* more than I do," but I won't fix it on the blog because "the world is an imperfect place." #KeepingItReal

My most "on the tin" title for a while...

To think I was going to retire the "bittercrip" tag cause I hit a smooth spot, if not a happy one.
Not quite yet, I guess.(and even if mom and I get this reprieve... I'm not young enough to pretend that we're...saved.)

"Misty watercolor memories..."

2023-05-08T18:41:08Z

A blog questionnaire got me thinking today. A lot of my tech experience, as fun and exciting and From The Future as it can be at its best, involves my losing things. I just found out that some of my most-read at one time essays aren't online anymore, but sometimes things get lost because I don't keep up.I don't know what to do when it's time to update and things like that, so it doesn't happen.Thought I had a printer problem, but got some advice and I'm just not very smart about printers. By the time I figure this one out, I'll probably have a new one anyway, or they won't make paper or something...sometimes it is hard on my self-concept how fast I went from trying to be cool to trying not to be hopelessly lost. sigh.
(And I was hoping for some happier Memories than those that populated LJ, which, mixed bag.)
Saved some things now I may want to look back on, but may be completely wrong.

but Bohemian Crip had its 300th post today!
Should I be pleased or sad at all the other pursuits I set aside for this?
Not that it's a bad post, for all that it took kind of long to complete.

Really enjoyed "Easy Beauty" but it definitely didn't leave me feeling like the smart one so much.
Also, wish I could read work by another disabled person without hoping they had The Answer to some of our shared struggles/ challenges, because I know that's a lot of pressure and that it seems that Dr, Cooper- Jones and I see life very differently, anyway.
