Pagan Fantasy Writer & Feminist fighting against apathy & idiocy. Jesus, Rosa Parks, & Joan of Arc were all SJW’s, so I’m in good company. Deal with it.

When realization makes you sick to your stomach…

May 8, 2019December 19, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

So I've been researching child abuse & abusive personalities for my fanfic tales, as one of the characters is a survivor & the issues & aftermath of abuse come up a lot in my tales. It's very, very scary when you're watching a vid & reading articles, and realizing that it all sounds too damn … Continue reading When realization makes you sick to your stomach…

Gods. Cats fighting.

May 7, 2019May 8, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

Gods. Maintenance crews are working around our section today. One of them tapped our window as he passed, startling Faramir, who was napping there. The first thing Far saw was Shell. He lashed out at her. She struck back. A major fight erupted. Screams, hisses, claws out, angry yowls, chasing each other around the apartment … Continue reading Gods. Cats fighting.

A Failure at 5 and 11

May 5, 2019May 5, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

Fall, 1977. I was in 6th grade. And I was a failure. I've had a long-running fascination with art & music, from a very early age. Music runs in the family; my great-aunt (Dad's aunt, his mom's sister) was a Carmelite nun & the organist/choir-director for our church. When I say "organist", I'm talking one … Continue reading A Failure at 5 and 11

A small amusing thing

May 4, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

Some folks might remember I used to be a big fan of Journey. Used to. The BS with Cain's wife being an embezzling fraud busted for embezzling her former megachurch...and she's now Trump's "spiritual advisor" who claims "God" put Trump there ...(clamping tongue on rant)...and Cain and Valory have openly declared their support of the … Continue reading A small amusing thing

The Mental Outhouse Pit

April 30, 2019April 30, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

One of the problems of remembering abuse -- especially emotional abuse -- is that it's hard to remember specific incidents. It's all "normal". It all mushes together into a mashed-up, rotting heap of shit and piss in your head. You grow up in that atmosphere, and that's the only world you know. It's the only … Continue reading The Mental Outhouse Pit

The Catholic High School Bullshit Blues

April 29, 2019April 30, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

These will be jumping around in time a lot. I'll write them up as I remember them, or come across the letters/diary entries/etc. This one got triggered by a Reddit question: "what is the dumbest thing you ever got in trouble for?"So I sat there, reading through the responses, then my own memory hit -- … Continue reading The Catholic High School Bullshit Blues

sorry for the influx of posts & notifications!

April 28, 2019April 28, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

I'm still trying to figure out how to import Livejournal posts into here -- one of the LJ accounts isn't playing nice & isn't importing all the posts. I'm also going thru & correcting image links.

For those wondering

April 27, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

I'm trying to get my brain -- fogged by meds and hindered by severe health issues -- back into my writing. I'm also trying to deal with depression & anxiety & rising out of the fog of years of emotional abuse & bullying as I was growing up. This journal will be scattered, yet truthful … Continue reading For those wondering

Snoopy

April 27, 2019June 20, 2019 ~ Zenfrodo ~ Leave a comment

When I was in kindergarten (1972), towards the end of the school year, my parents got us a puppy. I was 5, almost 6. My brother was 4. My baby sisters were toddlers, 1 and 2 years old. The only pets in the house before this was a fish tank, that we were forbidden to … Continue reading Snoopy
