About me:
Howdy folks, I'm Brendan. I've had my short stories appear on Gothic.net, Chiaroscaro, the new edition of the "Dead Things" anthology (www.twilighttales.com), and Edge of Propinquity. I also read at Twilight Tales events and at Kate the Greats (www.katethegreats.com). In my civilian life I am a mild mannered graduate student and substitute teacher who likes to go to concerts.

Who I'd like to meet:
New readers, anybody looking for fiction submissions, anybody currently on the rejection letter train like myself, anybody interesting.

SsPhInX*ViXeN	Jun 30 2008 9:45 PM THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE BIKE. IT WILL HELP ME OUT SOOOO MUCH WITH GETTING THINGS DONE, ESPECIALLY GROCERIES! you are a good friend. you know that? You know that you are one of my best friends ever? You are. And its funny cause my 3 really close friends, you, Hunter and Brian are all Beloit Alums! Yeah! Thanks. Things will get better for me. Once he is gone, all I have to do is send him his half of the bills so he can pay them. It already is much nicer in the apartment with all his shit stuffed in the spare room. the energy is much softer. hugs hugs and hugs. thank you for all of your help this morning! you rock. I really appreciate it.

Melissa Marah	May 21 2008 5:58 PM Hey dude, are you free next Friday night? It's my birthday party, and we're classin' it up this year! Plus, an old friend from grade school might be coming, so you'll have to steal his thunder in the competition of who's known me longer.
SsPhInX*ViXeN	May 15 2008 7:06 PM so i posted flyers around the C.O.D student center today, and i posted a facebook note and a myspace blog about my apartment for rent. I have to re-post the craig's list add. So hopefully I will be getting some calls in soon. But seriously, I think you guys have found an excellent apartment mate-- ME! I look forward to your party saturday!!!!
Joee	May 7 2008 7:07 PM hey, i had a crazy dream last night that you fell from aloft and got yourself hung up on what we sailors call the anchor burton. you were caught by the neck and strangling, but i managed to get you down safely. then you gave me a big hug. thinking of you. write back soon.

Claire	Apr 29 2008 5:58 AM I'll give you a house of pain where the sun don't shine. Last night I dreamed I had a really big gun that blew things up. I killed cowboys and gangsters. You don't wanna MESS with my house.
Cherry	Apr 28 2008 8:54 AM there's plenty more were that came from.
Claire	Apr 25 2008 11:00 AM Um? To what do you refer? I hope it's fictional. If not, try emailing or calling me, 'cause I don't know how the heck to respond to that particular ambiguity.
Miss Susan	Apr 20 2008 11:15 AM How dare you be concerned about your edumacation!!! Next time, B-train, next time we'll par-tay.
Cherry	Apr 10 2008 9:09 AM I think I made an enemy for life with that Hunter fella.
Cherry	Apr 1 2008 9:02 PM hey listen if your not busy, we should get together for some roll play, d&d, warhammer, perhaps an acon convention, hell any convention, or a ren fair? I KNOW! burn some candles in my mom's basement and listen read the necronomicon in black jeans! we can harness the power from our crystal necklaces! or even better, lets dress up in corset tops and capes and give thanks to the moon gods in a wiccan drumming circle in the forest preserve. just tell me what damn classes your taking or i will burn your limited edition extended version lord of the rings trilogy.

Cherry	Mar 26 2008 11:47 AM i think its important i sit next to you in class again from now on. it seems you know karate, and if i at any point feel the need to jump over the table and strangle a fellow classmate, you can take me down. really, its for everyones safety.

SsPhInX*ViXeN	Feb 27 2008 9:27 PM Oh, not much, I would like to hang out with y'all sometime (i know time and scheduling is difficult, but sometime when we are all free... i would like to have a little get-together).. and secondly, I haven't heard from your mother yet and would like to since she seems to be a very valuable resource in terms of help with findin a job.....
Claire	Feb 26 2008 9:28 AM Details, please. You are SOOOO laconic, dahlink. One might even say pithy, but one does not like to lisp in public!

SsPhInX*ViXeN	Feb 10 2008 9:47 PM Dude what? I've been meaning to talk to you. I have been having difficulty with this out of college unemployed thing, have applied to a few jobs but no call backs or leads. I was hoping you could give me some pointers since you too must have been in a similar situation a few years ago. I would love to talk about ur post college jobs and how you got them and if you may have any leads or people you know or whatever..... message me! and dude, Loki said a few weeks ago you were at COD bookstore! and you didnt call me! biatch! dude!
Miss Susan	Feb 10 2008 9:51 AM Dude!
Melissa Marah	Feb 4 2008 4:42 AM Lemme talk to Mikey about it, but I think we can make it.
Hacked	Jan 12 2008 7:12 PM Happy Birthday Brendan-san! Just think, if you were a cave man, you could be a grandfather by now. Moreover, if you lived in [enter impoverished rural region of your choice] you could be your own grandpa by now. You may count on me for such deep thoughts whenever you need them...
AspieWoman	Jan 12 2008 11:18 AM Happity birthday x x x x

Melissa Marah	Jan 9 2008 5:54 PM Hey I'm so so sorry we didn't come to the reading. We were really looking forward to it, but the rain kept us home. Also, it was my first real day at work so I was exhausted. I hope it went great. Tell me when your next one is!
Claire	Jan 9 2008 11:31 AM Do keep the rest of us informed about the birthday feasting in the Drowned City. In the meantime, if I don't catch you on the day -- happy birthday. I am glad you were born!

John Everson	Dec 16 2007 3:20 PM Trying to spread the word about my new book, so I hope you and your friends will check this out: To celebrate the release of my new horror/dark fantasy short fiction collection NEEDLES & SINS, I've made the title story of the collection available online. "Needles & Sins," a dark vignette about the immortality of sin, is on my website as a sample of the book. I hope you'll check out the story and the book! Read "Needles & Sins" HERE. Read more about the book. Or view it on Amazon.com HERE. Stop by my page and say hi! And subscribe to my blog to get updates on new stories, etc.!
SsPhInX*ViXeN	Dec 9 2007 12:55 PM Dude, hell yeah Im moving to Chicago. I;ve wanted to live their since i was 19! and our Wheaton apartment is pretty sweet! can;t wait to move in! Risk? Yeah, I have always wanted to learn, but I imagine it is not something that one can master quickly, and so i must go onto battle naked, as it where, or as that dude in princess bride put it "which is only half as stupid as fighting a land war in Asia" and die horribly for the first few battles until I get my militaristic skillz up. Sometime in January, you and Brian must come over and we can be uber nerds and play risk with Loki and I and then play Katamari. we can all be 31337ists, in the nerdy sense of the term... eLEETists..get it? w00t w00t.
SsPhInX*ViXeN	Dec 8 2007 6:11 PM heya! Loki and I are moving in together! We're moving into a nice little apartment in Wheaton! We simply must celebrate my move to Chicagoland with lots and lots of clubbing! I can't wait to see you! Once we move in we simply must have you and Brian over so we can play lots of video games! like Katamari Damacey (sp?) which is a fabulous game! And perhaps, since i will have time on my hands you can teach me how to play Risk. lol. -angel
Melissa Marah	Dec 5 2007 10:08 AM Guess what: I'm engaged.
Wicked Fabulous Frou Frou-Bunny-Lover	Nov 27 2007 10:42 PM Per our conversation: FindArticles - Keith Boadwee at Ace - Los Angeles, California - Review of Exhibitions Art in America, Oct, 1995, by Alisa Tager
SsPhInX*ViXeN	Nov 27 2007 10:10 PM heya! So.... Susan and Lance and Loki (Carlton) and I are going to see The Dresden Dolls on January 5th at the Vic Theater in Chicago. Would you like to come with us? I would love to see you!
Wicked Fabulous Frou Frou-Bunny-Lover	Nov 25 2007 11:34 PM Your reading was great! I'll spread the word about your reading. Thanks again that was alot of fun.
TheTerribleGreatNothingMuch	Nov 25 2007 10:57 PM Dude, that was a LOT of fun. I really enjoyed your reading. The place was awesome too. I'm glad I made it out and Nicole is lucky that I did because she would have been lost as hell had I not been deciphering those ever so endearing mapquest follies. Good times.
