I’m keeping up with my promise that I made last week and I will be updating the site at least once a week (sometimes more). This week, I’m updating with a few more chapters of “The Right Kind of Wrong”.

I updated them about an hour ago. Then I started reading another older story of mine, “Lucky Star” that I began writing in 2000. I may start reposting that one also if you guys are cool with that.

I have been thinking about new story ideas, but haven’t had time to write anything. Football season is winding down here (high school that is) and I’ve been busy dealing with the legalities of buying a new car! I’m excited and love it! It feels like all of my hard work is finally paying off, it’s just damn, the loan people want to know your life history when you get a new car! I feel like I need to go get a copy of the sonogram I had a few weeks ago and prove to them that I have a gallbladder! (It was to check on my gallbladder and stomach – not a baby lol).

Other than that, I’ve just been working. I got my flu shot Monday. I had an allergic reaction to something last week and I’m still not sure what it was. Plus I’ve been watching “Desperate Housewives” on DVD (just finished Season 1 last night).

Holly – I wish I had known you were at the show! It would have been nice to meet you!

Everybody else, thanks for the comments and the feedback. I really appreciate it!

I made a layout with some of my photos from Charlotte and we have a new photo of the moment also (that’s from the concert). There is also a poll on the right sidebar of the page asking what your favorite song on “This is Us” is. So go vote!

I went to go write on “Long Trip Alone” and I realized when I finished what I had already written, that was the end. That’s how I was planning on ending it all weekend and it was already written. How odd, huh?

So “Long Trip Alone” is now complete. Chapter 29 is up! Please go read and send in feedback!

Also, if you saw the links on the front page, I have taken your suggestions and I’m going to be slowly re-posting “The Right Kind of Wrong.”

I want to warn you, I wrote this in late 2000, that’s nine years ago. It’s not my best work, but you guys wanted it and so I’m going to try and promise to update it every few days with a couple of chapters.

So what’s next? I started reading a Nick/BSB/NASCAR story I started writing about two years ago and it peaked my interest. I also would like to try and write a couple of songfics so that might be next.

What do YOU guys want to see? Don’t be shy… let me know!

BSB in Charlotte on Oct. 24, 2009 | my-confession.net

AJ McLean in Charlotte, NC on Oct. 24, 2009 | my-confession.net

Hey everybody!

So I finally have two days off after such a long weekend which included heading to Charlotte, North Carolina to see the boys in concert Saturday night with one of my friends.

To say the least, it was worth the trip.

We arrived in Charlotte around 4 p.m. and got in line with some other friends who were nice enough and awesome enough to let us join them in line. When the gates opened, we ran for our lives. My friend and I were about four rows of people back from the stage. The opening act, Priscilla Renea was pretty good. I liked her and will probably download her stuff.

The next opening act, Who’s Bad? A Michael Jackson Tribute band was awesome, but performed WAY too long. They performed longer than BSB did.

During the MJ band, I ended up having to manhandle some drunk bitch who got in front of my friend and I. She was so drunk she couldn’t even talk. The security guard kept telling me he couldn’t do anything about it so finally he said to get in front of her. I grabbed her ass and slung her behind us. Then everybody behind us ended up doing the same thing. Oh and I forgot to mention that I grabbed her wig off and slung it on the ground. I swear that was my favorite part of the night I think.

Nick Carter in Charlotte on Oct. 24, 2009 | my-confession.net

The guys came on and performed “Everybody,” “Bigger,” “I Want It That Way,” “This Is Us,” “Shape of my Heart” and “Straight Through My Heart.” Nick and AJ were wearing pink which made me giddy as hell like a 10-year-old school girl. AJ didn’t have glasses on and his eyes were so bright and open.

It made me realize that I miss being a big BSB fan. For so long I just kind of went blah to it all. I didn’t go to the last two tours but I miss the excitement that you feel when one of the guys sings your favorite line in a song or Brian does that weird little smirk and wave to you or when Nick tries to act all sexual and just looks like a moron.

The concert, while short, was worth the trip. We came home Sunday and I went straight to work. Came home, slept, went to work yesterday and now I’m free for two whole days.

One thing did spark my interest though… I think I got inspiration to finish “Long Trip Alone.” I do want to finish it and I want it to have a great ending.

If this mirgraine I have goes away, I may try to start finishing it on my two days off.

I promised I would let you guys know how the concert went and I did!

Remember that if you read, leave feedback. I’ve gotten a few over the past few days and I will respond to you guys sometime during today or tomorrow!

So this Web site, the original one, began 10 years ago Monday.

How awesome is that?

In December, right after Christmas, it will be my 10th anniversary of writing my first fan fiction. If it weren’t for fan fiction, you guys reading my work over the past 10 years, then I really don’t think I would be as successful as I am today.

I would have never found what I love, writing and designing and I would have never went back to college, getting my degree, becoming a successful journalist and designer and being happy in my own skin.

So now that that’s out of the way.

What is your favorite memory of the stories that are on the site?

Hey everybody!

I know it’s been like three months since I last posted. I apologize. I’ve been busy with work and everything else.  Here’s a quick run down with me if you actually care…

• I’m now officially a diabetic and have been busy getting that under control.
• Concert photography job is over until next year.
• Loving the new BSB album and will be seeing them in a few days.
• I love my regular job still.
• Football season has been driving me crazy.

As for my writing, I have still had no time or desire to write but have a thousand ideas in my head. I just don’t seem to have the time to sit down and actually have the energy to write.  I also know how I want “Long Trip Alone” to end, but have yet to be able to write anything on it.

I’ll post again next week when I get time to let everybody know about seeing the guys and a few pics

Now playing: Backstreet Boys – Happily Never After

Hey guys,

I regret not updating sooner but the past two weeks have been crazy. First off, work has been crazy since I’ve taken over the Sports section, doing my first big interview and all of that.

Last week on my days off I had a killer migraine which also made sure that I didn’t write any.

Then the news we all know… Michael Joseph Jackson is gone.

I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve never declared my fandom for the man or his music like a lot of fans and like I do for a lot of performers I like such as BSB, Jonas Brothers, Dierks Bentley or Kelly Clarkson.

My first memory of Michael Jackson is when I was little and saw the “Billie Jean” video. I was fascinated with the light up steps that he kept stepping on. When “Bad” came out, I got it for Christmas, along with my first typewriter, which is ironic considering what I’ve become – a journalist and fascinated with the entertainment industry.

“The Way You Make Me Feel” and “Man in the Mirror” were my favorite songs on the album. In 4th grade, my class put on a play for the entire elementary school, middle school and high school about Martin Luther King, Jr. My teacher asked if anybody had Michael Jackson’s tape of “Man in the Mirror” and I was the only person to raise my hand. A little white girl in the south having that album and knowing what the song meant, that was a big deal to my classmates and to me.

I’ve stayed a fan of Michaels throughout the “Black or White” years, through his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, through the Debbie Rowe years and to his 2001 “Invincible” album. I questioned one of my first music loves when the allegations of child abuse came out but I never thought he did it.

And today he was laid to rest and it finally hit me that one of the men who has inspired me is gone. I didn’t cry when my aunt’s husband, my uncle, died a few weeks ago. I was shocked when a guy I graduated high school with died and my other aunt’s (my favorite aunt)’s father died just minutes ago and while I’m sorry for their deaths and know that they were gone too soon, it’s Michael Jackson’s death, a man that I never met and never knew, who has touched me the most.

I was at work, in the newsroom with one of my co-workers read the breaking news over the AP wire – Michael Jackson rushed to the hospital, possible heart attack. I was on it like white on rice.

And then the reports that he was gone.

Nobody believed TMZ in the newsroom but I knew that they were right. For some reason I could feel it… kind of like I have certain feelings about people that inspire me. Tony Stewart winning a race. Someone getting ready to call or visit me. I knew Michael was gone.

I just want to leave this post with lyrics to one of my favorite Michael songs:

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody’s Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya’ See
Cause They Got No Place To Be
That’s Why I’m Starting With Me

I don’t think LTA’s “Chapter 28″ is a very strong chapter…. but I posted it regardless.

Send in feedback!

It’s 2:15 a.m. on a Friday night / Saturday morning and I can’t sleep. I just got home from work a little bit ago and showered. I jumped online and finished a chapter of “Long Trip Alone,” which means I updated. I like to stay at least one chapter ahead of myself.

I do want to continue to thank everybody for their feedback and comments. They mean a lot to me, especially with my absense from the fan fiction scene.

I mean, I like the Jonas Brothers, but there’s no way I can write about them. That’s just… weird. Very weird. Crazy. I’m too old to write about them.

I always go back to my standby – the Backstreet Boys.

Now, I’m going to go start writing Chapter 29 and then head to bed. I have an appointment to get my haircut at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow which means I need to wake up a little before noon. Then I have work!

For the first time in my life I feel accomplished and I’m doing something right. I’ve always done stuff and felt as if I was out of place somewhere or didn’t belong, but now, I think I’ve found it. Hell, I know I’ve found it. I love working with one of my best guy friends and I love working at night.

Right now, I love my life. I’m just waiting for something to screw it up.

Now go read Chapter 27 and SEND IN FEEDBACK!
