"Don’t You DARE say I’m Unique!"

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 30, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 30, 2007

First, let me just do a disclaimer here….I can’t profess to know someone i don’t know…i can only look at the data i have and make an informed assessment….that’s what i’m about to do, but know that i realize i could be completely wrong….i am using this person as an example to get to greater meanings…..i do that a lot. Real examples are always so much better than the hypothetical ones… Okay….In my account on experienceproject.com, i created a group/interest that directs everyone to Atypical Lesbians forum, should they be interested. I explained, using the description on the home page, … Continue reading →

Burning Bush

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 28, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 28, 2007

In a time where the issues of the day are more pressing than ever, such as Al Gore’s prescient warnings about global warning and global climate changes, the American people have been duped and distracted by the specter of weapons of mass destruction. Haven’t we already established that this war-cry has been found both premature and erroneous? While nuclear armament is an issue with which we should reckon, don’t you reckon it didn’t have to be strong-armed into a nation-defining war? Bush is by far the worst president in American history. He has systematically turned the world against America, lied, … Continue reading →

My Hands That Close to Your Neck

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 27, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 27, 2007

In anticipation of an upcoming Ethical Dilemma, i am striving to prepare myself for a choice i might have to make. I want to make the choice that gives an accurate impression of who I am; and who I am is someone who wants to be ethical, evolved, yet not at all an oil pan for the machinations of the morally corrupt. Here’s the situation: I live in a small town, where all your actions can affect how you are viewed, your ability to exist in that town, or do business, or simply live in harmony; and that view can … Continue reading →

Sullied Pajamas: A Steak won’t Change my Mind (5 of 5)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 26, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 26, 2007

M.D. told me that SP emailed her, saying she had a hot date on New Year’s Eve with some corporate type woman and they had already booked a cruise. So when she arrived with the two sofas, I was determined to steer the conversation a bit, to see if she’d tell me another story. We lugged the sofas inside, and afterward it was like I had an elephant on my chest. I was all out of breath. The remnants of the cold I’m still recovering from. We made small talk and she seemed in no hurry to leave. Then she … Continue reading →

Stupid & Happy VS. Smart & Troubled

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 25, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 8, 2012

I was asked, “Given the opportunity to choose between: (a). being delusional and believing in an intangible, even illogical, philosophy that brings you much peace and bliss or (b). seeing the “reality” of things and cutting straight into the truthful heart of all there is, yet along with that comes despair and grief . . . Which would you choose? Would you rather be “stupid and happy” or “smart and troubled”? “Thou hast vexed me marvelous much,” as Shakespeare would say. (Though, i discovered he didn’t say, that, i must have made it up…but I’m sure he WOULD have said … Continue reading →

Hillary, and Hoping for Drastic

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 23, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 23, 2007

I’ve been riding around on my angst-wagon about this for so long. I think that neither Hillary nor Obama will be elected as president, even if one of them gains the nomination. The only exception is if new voters tip the scales, and/or the Republican candidate screws up royally and/or the Democrat candidate does a splendid job of convincing voters. Barring those events, we are essentially giving away our chances of having a Democratic president in 2008. Hillary knows this, and I think this can be her one fatal mistake (unless she knows something we don’t know–which is likely). She’s … Continue reading →

Sullied Pajamas-the thlot plickens (3 0f 5)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 22, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 6, 2013

Last night i received a mysterious email. hello…. you might want to ask SP about her suicide attempt in Jan., it is public record as the sheriff was involved. an unstable woman who will emotionally attach to you and never let you go…… just a heads up from one who knows. Awfully hard to let that one go. I wrote back: . Oh my God. That never came up in our conversations. Can I ask who you are and how you know? Have we met? I would appreciate talking with you about this, if you will allow me. ———————————————– She … Continue reading →

Sullied Pajamas-REDUX (2 of 5)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 21, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 21, 2007

She called me. (what i was thinking during her initial “preface” is in small red letters) “I’m a horribly romantic person by nature, and i just can’t help it…the biggest thrill in my success is sharing that–and not just with those i am romantically inclined toward. I make a lot of money and i give a lot away…being able to do good with it–that’s what it’s for. I want you to know that before i ever came to Eureka and met you in the lobby of the hotel, that i never thought you were a Dean-Koontz-rich novelist…(I’m sure you could … Continue reading →

Sullied Pajamas (1 of 5)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 20, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 25, 2012

Granted, I have little experience dating. I wasn’t one of those people who went through the whirlwind of social activity in my 20’s. The last few years have been about me, playing catch-up. All my relationships have been long-term, and overlapping and, sorry to say, of the meet-fall-in-love-get-the-U-Haul variety. I’m still new at the dating terrain, and I’m going to make some mistakes. The interesting part is that I’m experiencing this dynamic as a grown-up, with fixed ideas about how things ought to be, and at every turn, i am reminded that intelligence, discretion, and integrity don’t always come into … Continue reading →

Lies from the Publishing SINdustry

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 15, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliNovember 28, 2011

When an author submits work to a publisher, there are guidelines that must be followed, and they will always be very clear about what those guidelines are. Some of them are industry-wide. Some of them are also without merit and bordering on either absurdity or outright lies. One demand that publishers seem to spew with regularity is that all manuscripts must be in a certain font; what is called a serif font. Serif fonts have those little tiny flourishes or extras on the letters. The most common one is Times New Roman. The number one argument is it’s easier to … Continue reading →

My Friend, the Synesthete

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 11, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 11, 2007

[this article was sold recently] My best friend is also an author, but she has unusual abilities that not only make her an anomaly among writers, but an anomaly among humans. First, she is a synesthete. Synesthesia is an involuntary joining in which the real information of one sense is accompanied by a perception in another sense. Some synesthetes will “taste” a sound. Some can “see” a sound. Others “taste” a word, or “smell” a word. A synesthete might also see certain shapes and objects and colors whenever they hear music. Various forms of Synesthesia have been known to occur … Continue reading →

Doe, A Deer, A Female Deer. Giz, My silly little Mutt.

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 10, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 10, 2007

I let my dog Gizmo out, but when i went to let him back in, he was gone, Not an unsual situation, since he has a tendency to run off in the daytime. He’s got an unhealthy affinity for the pig farm across the way. This always means a lot of work for me, to get him cleaned up. So it was with some trepidation that i stood on the front porch and called, my voice ringing through the neighborhood. He either couldn’t hear me, or was ignoring me. About that time, i noticed the deer that was standing about … Continue reading →

Being Fully Human

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 9, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 9, 2007

Theodore Roosevelt once said:“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at … Continue reading →

Is that What Really Happened?

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 8, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 8, 2007

…and then there are times when our view of a situation is tainted by erroneous beliefs. It only takes one morsel of misunderstanding, one particle of perpetuation, and all proverbial hell breaks loose. And this Hell might be just the catalyst for a solution. Maybe even the ONLY catalyst that would serve the purpose. As thinking humans, we learn from our experience. We understand through associations. If we have a repeated experience, we soon believe that it is in fact the SAME experience. It is a reflection of the old adage, “If it walks like a duck, quacks like a … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

I was perusing my quickmatches on a dating site and said "Yes, i want to meet her...oh wait, that's me." Yes, they matched me with myself. I hope I'll be very happy together.

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Quotes for Writers

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. That is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. ~ Francis Bacon

Word of the Day

reconditeREK-uhn-dyt adjective: Difficult to understand; abstruse.

Favorite Quotes

"Atheists are routinely asked how people will know not to rape and murder without religion telling them not to do it, especially a religion that backs up the orders with threats of hell. Believers, listen to me carefully when I say this: When you use this argument, you terrify atheists. We hear you saying that the only thing standing between you and Ted Bundy is a flimsy belief in a supernatural being made up by pre-literate people trying to figure out where the rain came from. This is not very reassuring if you’re trying to argue from a position of moral superiority." ~Amanda Marcotte
