PROLOGUE

Caitlyn: ‘Amy what are you planning on doing with your life?’

Amy looks at Caitlyn in amazement, shakes her head and don’t know if she should get angry or not.

Caitlyn touches Amy’s arm and smile, in her heart she know her friend will make the right life choice.

The coffee bar called The Run Sack is almost empty, only a few people here and there. Both girls sat in the one corner of the counter. A woman sat two chairs from them wrapped up on her lap top.

Amy:” Cait I will get a job, save money go travel right now my friend I can’t see myself studying”

Caitlyn: ‘Amy just promise we will stay friends no matter what;’

They ordered their coffee and talked some more about their school years, about the future when Caitlyn look at Amy.

“So smartass where are you going to find a job”

Amy sighs: “I am sure I will find a job I have no idea where to start but I will find one”

The woman looks at Amy then smile she has not seen any young lady so beautiful as Amy, in her mind she wanted so badly to walk over to the two friends.

Caitlyn: “Amy you are frying your brains there thinking so hard you will get a job”

Amy:” and that’s why you are my best friend a fucking pain but a good friend.”

They giggled like they used to when they were nine or ten.

The woman paid her bill left a card at the counter and walked out, Jeff took the card read Amy’s name on it.

Jeff:”Amy I think this is meant for you” he hands her the card. Amy not really in the mood for weird people took the card shoved it into her back pocket paid their bill and motioned her friend to leave. On their way home not one of them spoke it was precious moments for them the silence in between all the madness made them realize how much they understood one another.

Outside Caitlyn’s home they talked more before saying goodbye. On the way home Amy was more then confused about the card then with the lady herself.

Lying on her bed she looks at the card flipping it upside down between her fingers.

It read miss I. Thatcher public library, yeah right what fucking ever Amy said out loud without intending too.

The rest of the evening went by so fast dinner with her parents was the same as usual the constant questions bout what she’s going to do with her life seem to start irritate her more and more.

CHAPTER 1

The phone rings….

Amy: “Richmond’s residence”

Caitlyn starts giggling then say you are going to for ever answer the phone like that aren’t you?”

Amy: “what’s up dude?”

Caitlyn:” so are you going to tell me about the card Dave gave you?”

Amy:” well it a business card of a library on the backside it reads I can help you find a job the woman must be whacked I can’t work in a library”

Caitlyn:” dude what other choice you have you know what your parents said”

Amy:” yeah listen I got to go catch you later”

Without saying goodbye they ended their call, Am hate the fact that everyone was on her case like that al the time.

On her way outside she screamed out loud for fuck sakes what the fuck is wrong with these fucking people.

Se is happy with the car her parents gave her but not with the price it came with complete freedom also the freedom of getting a job and to move out of her home.

She did not understood why her parents was so inconsiderate about her she was their only daughter how could they treat her that way?

The woman was yet again at the coffee bar more intrigued she went and sat next to her.

Dave was in front of her Amy immediately with her coffee he handed her the cup with a huge smile: gosh girl look at you what’s up you’re yeah never mind?”

Amy:” fuck off” she was laughing now.

Miss Thatcher “good day I am Ingrid” she holds her hand out to Amy

Amy “hey how are you?”

Ingrid “I am very good Amy and you?”

Amy “been better thank you”

Ingrid “did you get the Card I left you because I thought you are looking for a job and I desirably need someone to help me out”

Amy “I did thanks but I don’t know hey I am so not the library type sorry not to offend you I love reading I just don’t think stuffy books is my thing”

Ingrid was taken aback a bit by Amy’s respond maybe this beautiful creature was only a pretty face nothing more nothing less.

Ingrid “well in that case I do hope that you get what you need by the looks of it young lady it doesn’t seem t me that you have a crisis’

With that she stood up and left the coffee shop.

Dave “fuck Amy did you have to be so bitchy about it?”

He shook his head and turned he’s back on Amy; she also stood up and left knowing he will write her coffee up.

Amy felt foolish dialing the number twenty minutes later, the number did not ring too long before Ingrid answered.

Ingrid “miss Thatcher good evening”

Amy “ its me Amy I am sorry for being a jerk earlier and I will understand f you do not she to speak to me but I really need a job everyone I driving me insane”

Ingrid “Amy calm down please meet me at the girls high school in an hour it’s the one by the st Peters cathedral”

She hung up the phone in Amy’s ear not expecting the girl to show up for the appointment. In Amy’s head time almost stood still as she drove over to the school, her car picked up speed while music was flowing out of the speakers.

She turned left into Main Avenue and looked for a spot to park her car; Ingrid was standing outside waiting for the girl’s arrival.

Ingrid “good evening Amy I am so glad you made it” she said smiling

Dr J

What if we have been beaten to the ground (emotionally, mentally, psychically)?
What if we are too tired or broken to stand up?

What about the girl selling her body, the woman who beats on her lover after a drink too many?
The silent girl who drags a blade across her skin to make sure she still have feelings the woman who takes her heroin shot praying it to be her last?

We spend our times on what ifs and not really looking for a way out. Now we present you with Dr J a certified psychologist. She will be assisting those in need; all letters addressed to her will be treated in confidentiality only by her. She will also write articles for us on abuse, substance abuse and general issues. Every person will be treated in confidentiality.

Coffee News Break 6 August 2010

It's August and spring is almost here. I can't wait! Warm sunny days, no more layers and layers of clothing it sounds amazing. But while we wait for spring to arrive have a read through the newest Coffee News Break.

Finally America realised their flaws and District Court Judge Vaughn Walker has ruled Proposition 8 against gay marriage to be unconstitutional, meaning gay marriage cannot be banned in the state of California. Congrats!
Looks can be deceiving and this music video for ATB's "Could You Believe" is not to be judged by it's cover. A really great song accompanied by a really great music video. Check it out for yourself.

Rose Rollins from The L Word fame is now starring in a drama series called Chase. The Jerry Bruckheimer-produced series is described as “a fast-paced drama that drops viewers smack into the middle of a game of cat-and-mouse as a team of U.S. marshals hunts down America’s most dangerous fugitives.” Rollins will play the team’s weapons/tactical specialist. That's something to look forward to.

Another former The L Word star Sarah Shahi will be starring in a new drama series Facing Kate. What does this series have for lesbians? Here is what Sarah had to say:
Those L Word fans have been so loyal and so accepting of anything that I've done. I think they'll like it. I think they'll enjoy seeing me in something that's kind of light, and the role of Carmen was kind of light on The L Word. My character doesn't take herself too seriously. She's fun and I think they'll have fun watching it.
If your like me and get bored occasionally at work here is something to lighten the spirits and make time fly by a little faster. Be warned this can be addictive!

Funny or Die made a parody video of M.I.A's "Paper Planes". Watch out for John the Pony!

Tegan and Sara's music video for "On Directing" is out.

Here is a behind the scenes look of making the "On Directing" video and on the same day the video for "Northshore" was being shot. The video for "Northshore" will be out on the 10th of August.

The Gay Games started in Cologne and I am proud that we have a South African team representing. Here is a part of the opening ceremony with Taylor Danes performing the Gay Games anthem, "Facing a Miracle".

Here is a 20 second video I found of our South African team playing soccer.

Also an interview with some of our South African soccer players.

Coffee News Break 21 July 2010

Jane Lynch and Julie Goldman had an outstanding performance on the VH1 DO Something Awards on the 19th of July. Don't believe me, check it out, the song is called "Do Something".

Do you remember a while back everyone was going on about this little boy, what's his name again, oh yeah, Justin Bieber? And after he became famous the website lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber was created? Well now we have a new and even more exciting website called lesbianswholooknothinglikeJustinBieber!

Technology: Weird and Wonderful 21 July 2010

What time is it? It's time to get Weird and Wonderful!

Speaking about time, have you seen the Flip Clock? It literally spells out the time. Unfortunately it will cost you quite a bit of money, but it's still way cool!

If you thought that was weird, look at what I have right here a USB Powered UVMini. I can hear you all going, "hUh?". This little device plugs into your USB port and is a small state of the art USB Toothbrush Sanitizer. "Oh!". I actually think that this can be really useful as you might be out camping or you end up in some strange place that might not have been cleaned in 1000 years (or something).Even if your not close to a computer it has a decent rechargeable battery for sterilization to take place. If your interested you can look on the UVMini website.

Lights, lights, I see bright, very bright lights. Not really, but if your looking for some cool looking lights, I have just the thing. Firstly we have the Guitar Wall Light. A very creative design as you can either buy the string-less guitars or you can use your very own guitar. Your guitar is fitted securely on a stand that dangles from the wall and behind it is a light that will glow on your wall. To grab this rocking light check out PB Teen.

Next light up is the POD Lamp with docking station. This is the most handy iPod gadget I have seen so far, as I am looking for a desk lamp. You gets your hands on one of these at OttLite.

That's it for the Weird and Wonderful. Sorry for the short article but not much happened, well not much that was weird and wonderful. See you soon!
