Crazy Boys Get Money (D Stories)
Summary: Two teens in Texas hook and heist their way out of danger. True story.
Series: LB autobio (D Stories)
Word Count: 8100
Notes: Winner by a long shot of the February fan poll. Depending on how this story is received, I’ll be pulling out more regarding this period of my life, a series called “the D Stories.” Normally I would break it into 3 installments, but due to the nature of the content, I have chosen to upload it all at once. I feel professionally obligated to disclaim that this story is not appropriate for anyone under 18… but this was my life when I was younger than that, and it's both insulting and degrading to say that my youth is unspeakable to the very age demographic it happens to.
Content warnings for anti-black racism; coerced, underaged, bad sex work, and (separate) consensual, okay teenage sex, along with the circumstances surrounding both. More information is in the comments.

I've never seen a basketball game. Certainly no college or NBA game. Maybe a game at my high school, but probably not. My event at work has some people in from out of state, and others from out of the country. The company has a luxury box at the arena, so we were able to get passes to use the box. The Bucks were playing the Chicago Bulls last night, and half our group was able to go. The people who weren't into basketball as much, went tonight, to see them play the New Orleans Pelicans. Aside from the fact that I don't care about sports, I was fine with seeing this game because I'd never heard of the team.

The Bucks were behind for most of the game, then finally took the lead and were able to keep it close and won in overtime.

The box itself was just four rows of seats, but the seats were nicer and there was more room. The real benefit was the free food and drink. They had a really fancy buffet. Quite a variety of food - spare ribs, stir fry, brisket sandwiches, mac & cheese, grilled asparagus, fried chicken, some nice desserts including ice cream sundaes, and a station of cheese, crackers, sausage and veggies. All high quality stuff. And a bar which had some decent stuff if not a wide variety.

Those pro sportsball games drive me crazy. Every moment of the evening was filled with spectacle. They had contests and exhibitions and giveaways and people dancing on camera and... I don't even know. Oh, they had Humande Society in for an adoptable-puppy race on court at halftime (not one puppy knew what to do or where to go). Their mascot sunk a backwards half-court shot. That was kinda cool to see. They have to play music while the game is on, or the energy level would fall flat. It's insane.

https://eastkingdomgazette.org/2026/02/04/updates-from-the-earl-marshals-office/

https://eastkingdomgazette.org/?p=25520

The Society Office of the Earl Marshal has begun rolling out a number of updates in the past month. There are changes coming for all martial disciplines. Some changes will take effect one discipline at a time. Presently, armored combat, siege, and combat archery are the first disciplines that changes have been implemented to.

The following information applies to marshals of ALL martial disciplines:

•A presentation made at Curia and shared at 100 Minutes War outlines the changes that are coming that will eventually be applied to all disciplines. That presentation is available at https://marshal.eastkingdom.org/index.php/2026/01/21/earl-marshal-digitization-efforts-and-rosters/

The following information applies ONLY to marshals of Armored Combat, Siege, and Combat Archery, for the time being (other disciplines will be added at a later date):

•Digital Marshal Cards are now live. Additional information is available at https://marshal.eastkingdom.org/index.php/2026/01/30/digital-marshal-cards-now-live/

•The East Kingdom Marshal Look Up Tool is now live, available at https://marshal.eastkingdom.org/index.php/marshal-lookup/

•Marshal warrants will now expire. Warrants must be renewed via an online quiz.

•Marshals are required to have an official East Kingdom email address so that, among other things, they can access the quiz. If you have not yet set yours up, now is the time. Information about doing so is at https://webminister.eastkingdom.org/email/east-kingdom-accounts-faq/

•Your warrant expiration date may currently be blank, or it may say “expired.” It will be updated AFTER you complete your quiz and receive your Digital Marshal Card by email.

The following is required action by all Armored Combat Marshals:

•All Armored Combat Marshals are required to complete the warrant quiz no later than February 28th. Completion of this quiz is mandatory in order to be eligible for your warrant. We are doing a full warrant reset of all armored marshals based on knowledge of the updated handbook. So, even if your current warrant was not set to expire for a number of years, you still must take the quiz.

•The quiz is found at SCA Marshal Rules Quiz – A.S. LX

•The updated Armored Combat Handbook is available at https://marshal.eastkingdom.org/index.php/marshals/

•Use the Armored Combat Handbook Wiki to review to complete the quiz. It is available at https://society-rules.fullmesh.co.nz/index.php/Armored_Combat:Handbook

•You will need a score of 75% to pass and receive your warrant. If you miss that on the first try you are welcome to review the handbook and try again.

After completing and passing the quiz, you should receive your Digital Marshal Card by email within about 2 weeks.

If you have questions or encounter issues, please contact the Earl Marshal’s office through this email – earlmarshaloffice@marshal.eastkingdom.org

Which is better title than Rocket is a shit (but he is) So I called my bank. They called both phones...to sell me INSURANCE!?! I was too stunned to say anything other than what? Oh all kind but health. WHY would you not have just said that in the message? I hardly slept last night thinking I was hacked and cleaned out because you left me two messages on two phones to call you.

It's a beautiful snow on my road. It was really pretty, at least to me. And then I got to the top of my hill (in the opposite direction of the hill I'm looking up for this picture) and the accident is still there. An 18 wheeler jackknifed and went over the guard rails. That metal plow on asphalt noise I heard must have been the guard rails failing. It was still there 14 hours later when I went to work. Luckily the cab seems to be whole so hopefully the driver wasn't too badly hurt.

It's not a great pic but there was a whole crew up there and I didn't want to seem ghoulish.

And Rocket IS a shit. He wanted out this morning. I tried to put him back in when I left. He refused and ran. Fine you'll be in the snow for hours buddy. I come racing in because I needed to do something in Jackson and then had a faculty meeting. I'm sitting here on Teams after Rocket races inside He immediately jumps in the litter, throwing it everywhere and poops. Well then. I guess he's decided that he likes to poop in a box and make me clean it (after 4 years of hating that box) or more likely he can scratch thru the ice to poop.

What I Just Finished Reading:

Cooking with Monsters - a graphic novel about monster hunting chefs.. ha. It wasn't bad.

What I am Currently Reading:

When the Moon Hits Your Eye - weird and I'm not sure I like it

The Final Problem - mystery set in the 60s

Dark Life - YA book (so far so good)

The Parable of the Sower graphic novel (this is not the right time for this dystopia but if fulfills a reading prompt)

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier - liking t his better than I expected.

What I Plan to Read Next: La Grand Familia Zombie Day Care and something by Alison Bechdel about being superhuman. Oh joy an exercise memoir. Nearly done.

Luna Park history - it was an amusement park in Pittsburgh around 1910. Mostly interested because it feels like a place to set a story. I mean a lion escaped from it and ate a woman.

And have I mentioned that I'm doing the American Cancer Society February readathon. You can see more about it here on facebook.

What is the American red wolf?

The American red wolf is the world’s most endangered. This species is found only in the United States, and fewer than 20 remain in the wild. It is one of the most endangered mammals on Earth.

Now, an unprecedented partnership between universities, government agencies, and biotechnology companies is using the latest genetic tools to save this iconic predator from extinction. The effort represents a new model for how technology may reshape wildlife conservation in the decades ahead.

Today is cloudy and cold.

I fed the birds. I've seen a large flock of sparrows, several cardinals, and a starling.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 2/426 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes. Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime. So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace. Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket. A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner. There is a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs. A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper. The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone. There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity. Come snuggle up!

Midmorning Meeting and Musings
By Dialecticdreamer/Sarah Williams
Part 1 of 2
Word count (story only): 1344
[Wednesday, May 13, 2020, 11 am]

:: The meeting with Win isn’t anything that the older Teagues could have anticipated. Part of the Edison’s Mirror (Teague Family) story arc. ::

The library opened at ten in the morning. Edison, holding Mac’s hand securely, tugged the door open as soon as the librarian unlocked it. “Hello, Mister Addamson,” the boy greeted. “Aidan and Vic have an errand to run later, so it’ll be just the two of us for a bit. Is that okay?”

The man’s beetle brows drew down, obscuring his equally dark eyes in their shade. “Are you two planning to take permanent markers into the bathroom to color in the hexagonal tiles on the wall?”

He waited a beat. Another. Beneath the thick eyebrows, his nearly black eyes glimmered with amusement.

It's now February. Lots happened since my last post.

Life/family

Fought my bank for more than a month and got my money back (their app disappeared some of my money through a "Piggy Bank" feature that disappeared), so now I have book funds! But this has been a background stressor for a bit because I hate having to continuously follow-up with the bank to find out the status of my money. It's not a huge amount, but it's still RM1000+ and that can feed me for a whole month (more if I am frugal)!
( The not so good )

Games

I caught up with the archon quest in Genshin Impact. It's enjoyable enough but I'm definitely not really feeling the magic of early Genshin anymore. Dottore was fun though. 10/10 will get kidnapped again.

I also started playing Arknights Endfield and I've been utterly consumed by it. The factory gameplay is incredibly fun! I didn't even know I'd enjoy this factory style game (but I do have a friend who immediately pinged me as someone who would enjoy this type of game a lot). I'm advancing the main story quest just to unlock more factory things (new mining spots, new outposts, etc.). And I love that you can make the whole map into a tower defense (or is it tower offense if you put weapons everywhere? XD). I know this gameplay is very polarizing, but those I know who like it really, really like it.

I'm also still playing Where Winds Meet but I really cannot main two games. I'll prob just switch between these two in terms of time investment and energy level. This game takes more time and energy because it's hard to just stop halfway to attend to my mother.

Other things

Huffing a cat is the key to getting rid of excess stress (be careful of the cat's paws when they get annoyed though!). Seriously, having a cat has been great. I can sit with her when I'm feeling frustrated, stressed, worried, etc.

I'm visiting Vietnam for the first time in March. Very excited to see my housemate again! And excited to try all the foods, see the sights, take in the vibes and all that! Will be staying with her family, so I'm gonna start collecting a bunch of gifts to give when I see them. Also time to start learning Vietnamese beyond Vietnamese food names and greetings XD;;
