My First Student Affairs Moment

It is probably not widely known that I work at a university as a glorified admin in the Student Affairs division. It is probably not widely known that I am hoping to start grad school in the fall in pursuit of a Masters in Student Development Administration. It is also probably not widely known that [...]

I was never going to

I have proclaimed a number of bold statements in my life.
I will always hate felines.
I will never fall in love.
I will never get married.
The “I DO” terminology had never even slipped into my frolicking-fantasy-daydream-of-love landscape. I was the girl with an agenda. An agenda that included proving my domination in this world without the help [...]

Preoccupations of a Princess

It’s no secret: in the past month my attention has drifted away from the folks here at Fluid Imagination. I would like to be able to profess that I was stashed away on a top-secret mission in an undisclosed location, but alas, I am still frolicking among the Tacomanians (I just created that term, in [...]

Someday, my prince will come…with body armor.

Part I. The Trashy Bash
I am born and bred valley trash. Among the many stories that follow this statement, including the one about the no teeth-crazy neighbor who walks her dog naked, I can recount a multitude of trashy memories pertaining to holiday cheer.
In the valley (as we common folk call it), we celebrate [...]

From: a Princess
To: a Queen Mother

The words of love and respect that are supposed to flow from my lips, fail me. I am left with a scattering of memories from the misplaced time and years of my youth. I need to speak these words aloud to substantiate the memory of you, because now that is really all there is. My [...]

Undercover Princess

The day is dreary. The blowing winds have escalated the constant rain to a whole new level. Where once I may have considered venturing outside, now all I wish to do is burrow under the covers with my slew of half-finished books. There are more days than not of seeking warmth under the covers in [...]

Princesses aren’t always frill and fluff

I’m tired.
It was a long day at work, but same as any other day. I apply for real jobs during the day and work as a retail whore at night.
IÂ’m not your special high-end whore; I donÂ’t rub sleeves with the likes of Gucci and Prada. My line of work falls on the lower socio-economic [...]

The Claws Clause

I am not a cat person. I wonÂ’t apologize for my bluntness: I really am not a cat person. Nor am I a spider person, blood-oozing-from-body person, fast-food person, children person, bodily-functions person, snow person, rain person, beer person, or slimy-thing person. I am a lover of none of those things, but most especially, I [...]

Psychologizing with the folks in the blogosphere

:getting:got:some:ass:poop:stank:rank:
:high:tall:tree:frog:green:men:penis:
:sperm:gross:nett:what:know:all:
These are the links from thought to thought. These are my thoughts of worldy things when my mind drifts, thoughts of images to words, words to words, and words to images. I hear getting and I think got. I here got and I think some. I hear some and I think ass. And so on [...]

The Secrets of A Princess

A statue of the laughing Buddha sits on a lone shelf above the television set in her living room. It is not meant to be a religious shrine, even though the cute chubby chuckler is flanked with candles on either side. This Buddha who brings a constant smile to her face is to be [...]
