Writing….

Sasha — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:58:41 +0000

“I am your friend, which is why I’m going to smack you upside the head if you keep putting yourself down.” Sable glared at her. “Stop with the whining about what you think you’re not, and just think about what you’ve done in the past year. You’ve went against your family and quit a reliable stable job to run a pub. In running that pub you’ve learned how to bartend, cook, and bounce drunk idiots out the door. You made the first move on Jake, which led to you having sex on that freakin’ pool table right there!” She heaved a sigh and stared at Miranda. “The only person who think you’re not strong is you, Mandy. It’s time to open up your eyes and see who you really are.”

Who wants to guess what story I’m finally writing? Hint, it’s a sequel that’s been on the back burner for too many years.

Hockey in Canada

Sasha — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 22:08:42 +0000

I absolutely love this video from Michael J Fox. The outdoor rink is a common playground for Canadian kids, although I never got to play on one that overlooked the Atlantic Ocean, I did play on many. The video’s called “Its our Game” and shows much of how we feel about hockey, and how it’s part of our heritage here in Canada- but more than that, I love that it’s Michael J Fox in the video. A strong and courageous man, he lives with Parkinsons disease, and inspires me to be strong, and fight for my own health and happiness every day.

Tomorrow is the gold medal match between Canada and the USA, and I know I’ll be glued to the tv watching it when I should be writing. I admit I’m not a super huge hockey fan, but I do watch it occasionally, and I definitely want to cheer on Team Canada. I love going to the Oilers games here in town, and enjoy watching them with groups of friends, but for me it’s more about the energy of things than the actual hockey. It’s so much fun to get caught up in the energy and cheering and all that sort of thing.

I was reading a blog post somewhere about the Olympic Hockey games after the Canada and Russia game and the comments were mostly Americans and Canadians talking about wanting to see the two teams int eh gold medal round for a re-match. One comment really stuck with me though, because it came across as really nasty. Some guy went on about how it was stupid how much Canadians got into it, and that we sucked and the US was better in everything else so why not just let the canadians win as it’s all we have. The thing that struck me in reading the replies to that comment were that they were all from other Americans, all telling the guy to shut up and that he was an idiot and if he didn’t care about it why was he there…and so on. Not one Canadian went on to bad mouth the guy or defend our attitude about hockey. I loved that no Canadian went on and dignified his comment as much as I loved the American ones who went on there and told the guy to fuck off. :)

Last night I worked in the bar when Canada and Slovakia played the last elimination game. When Canada won and it became clear it was USA and Canada for the gold again, it sparked a conversation.

I love that it’s Canada and the USA, not just because there’s always a sort of rivalry there, but also because we’re the same continent. It make it clear that the best players are from North America. Then there were a couple of others that hated that it was Canada vs the USA because they’d rather lose to anyone other than the USA. There was no in between in this conversation. Everyone felt one way or the other, and I wondered…Are you Canadian or American? and how do you feel about Canada vs USA in the Gold Medal round?

Olympic Fever

Sasha — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:51:51 +0000

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m getting older, or because the games are in Vancouver this year, but for whatever reason, I have to admit I’m more into watching them than I’ve ever been before. There’s been some amazing things to see, and I’m so glad I’ve been watching.

NBC aired this pre-recorded video clip before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with Tom Brokaw explaining the relationship between the US and Canada. I found it when someone linked to it on Twitter, and I wanted to share it with more people. It’s worth watching.

Now if only I could find a clip of the opening ceremony when the whales and salmon were swimming.That was my favorite scene.

Habits

Sasha — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 20:09:43 +0000

Motivation can be fickle for me. I always get most motivated at night. I could blame the years of working nights but I have to be honest, I’ve always been a night owl. When I was growing up I was the kid that had to be chased to bed, and then checked on to make sure I wasn’t reading in bed with a flashlight – or uhmm…as a teenager that I was even in bed. Yes, I admit it. I skipped out my bedroom a time or two. I’ve always been the last out of bed in the morning, even on Christmas morning. There’s just something about the dark and the night that gives me energy. Mental and physical.

However, it’s not a good thing when you got to bed thinking, planning and all motivated, but then don’t follow through the next day. Not just because then I don’t get things done, but because it starts a new habit. A Lazy habit. A habit of not doing what I say I’m going to do. Sure, I’m only breaking promises I make to myself, but is that better, or worse than breaking promises I’ve made to others? I think it’s worse.

I used to always do what I said I was going to do. Always.
Then somehow it stopped happening. To be blunt, it stopped happening about the time I started to make writing my first priority. Then other things started to get shuffled aside. Friends, birthday dinners, work shifts, my own healthy habits -all for the sake of writing. If you’ve been following this blog for a while you’ll know that I’ve been struggling to find balance with things for a long time, and *knock on wood* I think I might have found it. It’s not easy, but then again, the good things in life rarely are.

Maybe in a month I’ll talk more about it again, but right now, I’m not willing to jinx myself. Yes, I’m superstitious that way. I will tell you how I started to reform myself though. I sat down and I thought hard, and then I wrote down what my top three priorities in life are. Everyday I look at those priorities, and it helps me stay on track.

A tip, make sure your put time for YOU on that list. My Me Time includes reading time, movies, and being social with friends and family. Not every day, but I don’t ever want to push that aside for work, of any kind, again.

There’s a saying that sounds trite, but needs to be repeated more often.Work t o live. Don’t live to work. And when you follow this- or at least when I follow this- my work (writing) gets better. Funny huh?

I have a small book of quotes from strong women on life and love here. Share what saying has motivated you lately in the comments for a chance to win it.

Weird Sex Facts

Sasha — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:54:44 +0000

Okay, so I found this free app for my iPod that’s full of sex facts. I had to get it, you never know when this trivia can come in handy. I had to share some of my favorites with you.

~The most common fantasy is Oral Sex.

~Cum actually adds vitamins to your body when swallowed- and it’s said to whiten your teeth! (I must have a hero use this fact to convince a heroine to do the job right. )

~If a woman experiences orgasm during sex she’s more likely to become pregnant as the pelvic muscles contracting can help move sperm along to the uterus.

~Sex burns about 70-120 calories for a130 pound woman, 77-155 for a 170 pound man.

~Impotence is grounds for divorce in 26 U.S states.

~During sweaty sex men ooze testosterone, which can actually increase arousal for women.

~The average number of erections a man has in a day is 11.

What do you think? Got any to add?
