Late Night Check Up
Hello, hope everyone has been having a good time since the last time I posted on here. Been busy lately. Had an interview with a modeling and acting agency, unfortunately though, I never got to make it. But moving on with jobs that are random. Applied to online representative jobs, babysitting, pet sitting/pet walking, house keeping, stores. Have worked in a fast food place before, it wasn't great. Also been researching the cheapest homes for sale that would be close enough for me to actually get my son when I'm supposed to.
Was supposed to hang out with someone tomorrow, but he cancelled due to work. Tired.
Was actually awakened around 7:29 in the morning due to a bad dream. Not sure who it was, but in the dream it was a guy pretty much stalking me and kept peering through the windows. He had a gun and kept pointing it at me. It was weird. Not sure about dream meanings, either way, don't really feel comfortable in public now.
There are people that believe dreams can foretell the future... If so then mine just mix between good and terrible. Back in my teens had a dream that I actually wrote into the first part of When The Dead Came. Yet around the age of 18, I had a dream where I was married and had five kids, oldest being a boy.
Ironically I used to be married (divorced now) and my first child is a little, adorable boy... I miss my son.
You know what, might start a new blog to talk separately about him and parenting/single mom stuff. Cause I know there may be readers out there that don't enjoy how I go from discussing my day or something, then go talking about my son. So, separate blogs! That's about all for now, gonna start this new blog for single moms/divorced too. Something that will make sense. I hope.

Late Night Check Up
Hey everyone. Been busy, and trying to do more writing, but been hitting writers block like crazy. Celebrated my older brother's birthday yesterday (since it's after midnight), got out of the house. Even though it was to the store, I still cherished it haha. Ran through WalMart for a last minute product. Glad it wasn't as crowded as larger WalMart's, almost ran into a cart.
Had a chance for an interview with a modeling and acting agency but missed the interview. Wasn't too happy with that, but hey, better luck next time, right? Anyways, been offered a lot of dates lately, but hesitant. I really want to be careful, had four failed relationships, don't want a fifth failed relationship.
... Forgot what I was going to add to that. But, yeah. Hesitant. Oh, also realized this coming week will be the same time last year when my ex husband told me he was divorcing me. September 1st will be the one year mark, seeing how I was advised twice to wait a year before dating. But, instead of that, I also plan on improving myself and my life.
Other than that, not much else. A guy got mad at me cause I turned him down, then proceeded with telling others that I only want to use guys for money. Completely false. I've turned down at least six or more guys when they offered money or to spoil me. If I want money then I'll earn it myself... Not having any luck with that right now, but I still won't stoop that low. Another guy called me a dumb bitch also because I turned him down.
I turned down the first guy because he asked me to screw him and his friend. I turned down the second guy because he was more like a friend.
Just like any other human being in the world, I just want to find the one. A sense of humor is the key to my heart. Loyalty, caring, protective. Dark hair, someone who I can enjoy horror and comedy movies with. Someone I can enjoy listening to Linkin Park with, rock and metal music. Someone that will accept my son. Someone that won't verbally abuse me or threaten me. Someone that knows they want marriage and kids in the future. And doesn't mind playing video games either.
In the state of Oklahoma, that is a bit hard to find, and can't find someone out of state or country cause apparently guys don't want a long distance relationship. I'm pretty much stuck.
Also, been thinking of seeing how it works if I do a video post. Think that could work? Honestly, never done a video post before. Doesn't hurt to try though.
That's about all right now that has gone down.

A New Book Currently Being Worked On
Hello (again), been writing, and this isn't the final book to my zombie series, When The Dead Came, although the final book will be coming very soon. But, this particular book I'm working on is another horror story. Not zombie based or apocalyptic in any way. This book is more of a psychological horror.
It was one I originally wrote back in 2009 or 2010. I'll be sharing small parts from it as I work along and hopefully will prove to be interesting. I hope anyways.
This book will not be dragged out like When The Dead Came 1 & 2/Apocalypse World/Survive, and the last book coming soon.
Here is a small sample from the new horror book, Don't Be Afraid.
A clanking of pipes echoed from the last room, her hearing making it seem as though it happened against her eardrums. Walking, she swallowed the fear and stuttered,"D-Darius? Valerie? Clyde? Anybody down here?!"
The rooms around her seemed to come to life as sounds echoed all around her. Screams, yells, and scratching frightening her. Turning and facing directly at the square, glass window of a door, Larissa watched as a young man was screaming and beating his head against the glass.
Jumping back, she bumped into something. Turning, another young man was in a wheelchair. The bandage on his head fell loose and she could see within, a hole from a lobotomy. Screaming, Larissa dropped the flashlight and turned to run, the lights going out again. As she continued screaming, she ran into a stretcher and fell to the floor, hitting her head hard against a loose floor tile.
Opening her eyes, Larissa looked down at the floor, faintly seeing the drips of blood from her wound as the lights kept flickering again.
"Don't worry dear, we will fix you up just fine." Larissa's eyes grew wide when she heard an elderly man's voice speak behind her. Looking back over her right shoulder, there stood a tall man. His gray hair combed over perfectly as he grinned, white teeth with what looked like blood stains; small splats on his otherwise perfectly white coat.
Larissa screamed at the top of her lungs and felt a sharp pain around her ankles, her body suddenly jerking and her face went down against the floor, busting her mouth and nose hard enough to draw blood. She screamed again as she was quickly dragged down the long hall, the flickering lights going out as she passed them, maniacal laughter following throughout the hall in the dark.
I'll be sharing more off and on. And pretty soon it will be available.

Being A Single Mom at 25
Hello again. It has been so hot here everyday. Did some cleaning yesterday, to take a break from writing, and found a few dimes and pennies in my belongings. Put away most of my son's clothes. Can't wait for the day to come when I can see him again. Or the day I can try for full custody. I miss him so much that it makes me feel sick to my stomach. Also stated before that I would give up coffee, writing books/stories, and a kidney for him.
I'm sure there are a few readers on here that can understand what that is like, or knows what divorce is like. I was actually advised to wait a year to move on, been divorced for about ten months now. Not bad at all.
I always wanted to be a mom, these days though I feel less like a mom and more like how I was before ever being in any relationships: Dull, shy, and that awkward teen again.
I don't know. Divorce pretty much screwed me up. I can't even bring myself to attempt flirting with guys interested in me because I'm afraid of getting close to someone else. And I suck at flirting. Well, most guys also seem to run away when I mention I'm a single mother to a little boy.
I love my son very much that I'm sure I want to give up relationships so I can just focus on him. He's a smart kid for two years old. He knows numbers, colors, American muscle cars, not picky, loves playing the drums, enjoys How To Train Your Dragon, listens, helps clean, compassionate, likes football and hockey, insects, good music. Maybe if I can get full custody one day, I think I can do it as a single mom. I'm quite sure I can do it.
I'll also admit, I tried dating sites, but that is not the wisest choice.
So at this point, I'm gonna wait it out. Wait for the right guy to find me. Judging by my four failed relationships, it's wise for me to wait, haha.
Once again, just blogging my random thoughts. As you can tell, it jumped a lot.
But yeah, I'll be quite happy when I can finally hold my little boy again.
Love
Ariana

Natural Disasters
Hello and hope everyone is having a decent day. Been busy writing, babysitting my niece, and promoting. It has been hot here every day, but woke up this morning and it was actually cold in here. Turned out it has been raining since five this morning. Called yesterday to check on my son and he is doing well. And apparently anger/stubbornness runs in the family, haha. He has anger issues and is pretty stubborn.
Been a lot of natural disasters these days. It actually flooded some in the city. The last time it flooded here where I live was back in August, 2009. Luckily, we got to miss school for a week because it got bad in town. School and homes got damaged. Yet, here at the house, we didn't get damage.
The thing to know about me is I have a pretty good memory. For example, in my teens at the age of 16, we had a snow storm/blizzard like conditions here. Knocked the power out for almost a month. We had built a snowcat, instead of a snowman.
In spring time of 2010, my mom and I had been the only ones home to deal with a fire that started from a sparking power line. It was dangerous, but it also was taking the fire truck an hour to show up.
November 7th of 2011, while I was cleaning, we had an earthquake for the first time... Felt weird too because I was standing and I thought I got dizzy. Our cat at the time was hanging out on the table and just looked at me funny. Then, three days after, we had a tornado. I remember that clearly. We had gone to the abandoned cellar next door. Now what sucked about that, was the cellar has no door. So a lot of the debris being thrown around came in the cellar: Branches, leaves, trash, rain. Of course the strong winds and we could hear the tornado going over. After it passed, we left the cellar and could see it in the distance.
Our cats were okay, my brother's ramp he had spent all summer building was destroyed, our basketball goal was snapped in half. Satellite dish damaged, front porch flooded with water, the wheelbarrow and trash can were in the field behind the house, bark gone on the trees. We expected the mailbox to be gone, but in a funny way, it was still there, just not the lid.
April of 2013 when I lived in Elk City with my now ex husband, it was hot and storming, hailing all night. When we woke up the next day, it was icy, snowing, and freezing.
Finally, when I was pregnant back in July of 2013, there was a firework malfunction. It fell over, shot sparks in random directions, and caught the driveway on fire. My husband at the time stood there and watched while I helped my family fight the fire. After awhile though, my family made me stop helping so I didn't miscarry.
The day my son was born, it was icy and snowing.
Good example of random weather here in Oklahoma.

My Wisdom On Finding The Perfect One
Okay, hope everyone has had a good day today. I spent it relaxing and will continue writing tomorrow. Posting this late at night to share thoughts. A moment ago, someone asked me my insight on why people have trouble finding the perfect one. On why we can write and create our characters to be happy with the one we made for them, but can't find our own.
Just to be clear, I am not good at love, flirting, or dating apparently. I would love to be happy with someone, but I tend to mess up due to fears of repetition from past relationships. Below is my insight, wisdom on finding the perfect guy or girl/soul mates.
"Many people are on here for different reasons, one particular reason being that they are hoping to find the perfect guy/girl that is everything to them. There are some that wants someone that has the best appearance they have ever seen. They want someone that isn't afraid to argue with them, or they want someone that has a great personality. Then the ones that want someone that also wants marriage and kids, or those that don't want either of those. But it all comes down to finding the perfect one. Like I told someone in messages, the one could be anywhere. It could be the person that has nothing in common with you. The one that is very attractive, or the one that has an amazing personality. It could be a stranger you pass by every day or even someone from another country. It takes patience to find the perfect person, your soul mate. Point is, you will find the right one eventually. I'm being optimistic here because I know I should be the last person to give advice on finding the one. I have had four failed relationships, stood up for dates, and messed up my chances, but this is what my response was because that's what I think about the perfect one. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my wisdom on love. 😏 "
Thanks for reading all that, and hope the rest of your day is well.
