Lily Strange Tips for Getting Hired

Top 10 Reasons Employers Want to Hire You - Careers Articles They forgot to mention Reason #11: ability to get boss' booty in perfect target range of lips. http://ping.fm/sPTf7 This is their list. With the "strong online presence (#7)" I'd say if you're like me and tend to be brutally honest and cuss a lot--do NOT give them your blog URL or FB page. One big reason why I blog and social network using a pseudonym or handle is bec

Renata Salts Happiness is Holiness

this is a joke about the afterlife. Read and enjoy ;-) Three men died and were taken by God to the top of a cliff. God said to them that since they had been such great outstanding citizens of Earth that they would be given one chance to become anything that they desired. The first man ran to the edge of the cliff, jumped into the air and shouted, "I want to be an eagle." Instantly he was changed into an eagle and soared off into the sunset. The second man ran to the edge of the cliff, jumped… Continue

If I do know and trust you, I'll send you an invitation. Thank you for your understanding. Lily Strange Continue

masterymistery keeping the wolf from the door

In a few short weeks I will be jobless and incomeless. Prospects for finding paid work in the Man's Land look slim, especially in this tail end of the GFC. Question: can I earn enough money from my writing to feed two adults and one large dog? Answer: not bloody likely considering my stuff is so weird that it gives weirdness a bad name. Still, what else is there? Wait around for the extinction event? Continue

Lily Strange Get to Know Me: What Song Do You Love to Dance To?

Thanks to Thom for this cool idea. You will find that for a crusty aging headbanger with barnacles on her hull, I am actually pretty eclectic in my musical taste. There isn't any one specific song that I like to dance to but I would surely put Slade's "Run Runaway" at the top of the list of songs that would be fun to dance to.… Continue

Lily Strange 13 Stray Thoughts

Idea stolen from Nessa 1. Keep in mind I'm kind of depressed as I throw these out there 2. I'm tired of having to apologize to people for the way that I feel.

Lily Strange Reply to an Article and Thoughts on the Publication of my Forthcoming Book

This was a reply to a fine article by Tom Matlack of the Huffington Post about the state of the book publishing industry. Hi Tom, Great article. Little techno-glitch to inform you about real quick. Remove the @ symbol from your twitter link. You have http://www.twitter.com/@tmatlack but that just goes to Twitter's error page. Put it as twitter.com/tmatlack, and your fans will ge… Continue

Lily Strange Repost: When Ghosty Met Human

This appeared on the old Ghost blog on November 12, 2006 As you know, my most exalted co-author is a spirit. He explained to me when I first made his acquaintance a year ago that etheric bodies are pure energy and that energy is invisible. However, in his joy at having someone talk to him rather than try to conjure his image (ok, the secret is out) for inane purposes of (in his words) "some sort of half… Continue

I have been playing along at the Real Wishes website for the past 4 days. I went in with the "what the hell, I'll try it" attitude. Which is sometimes the best one to have. We'll see what manifests! I believe there will be positive change, even if it's not exactly what I wished f… Continue

Stolen from Andy Copp Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to people you like and include me. You can't use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "my life according to… Continue

Lily Strange Youth with Heart Defects Avoiding Medical Treatment--Why?

Why don't young people with congenital heart defects seek medical treatment? My guess would be fear, monetary concerns, or a combination of the two. The reason I don't get treatment for most of my medical issue is that I simply can't afford to go to the doctor even though I have insurance. Though admissibly, my health concerns are chronic but not… Continue
