Also known as your port-perusing guide
An introduction to anything of mine


Wow! You found my portfolio. Now would be a good time to check your stock of psychiatric medications.*Bigsmile* Just kidding, although you have to wonder what storm chasers around the world are taking.

Storm chasers? What do they have to do with your portfolio?

Well, my port is full of storms! That's why. I decided to reorganize my portfolio to show my natural fury, both in writing and life. So storm chasers, you're in luck! Whatever storm knocks your socks off, you can chase it down here. Be sure to put on some extra hair gel (please make sure it's hair gel), hold on to your hats and get ready to pursue some of the craziest storms on planet Earth!


WEATHER JOURNAL(S)
Wondering what causes these storms? This is a good place to start. Only one or two will be in the storm landing zone (main portfolio) at a time.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
Poetic musings of all sorts are like showers and thunderstorms. They're usually short and relevant in everyday life. Sometimes they're light, and other times they're intense. However, they are all intermingled in the grand scheme of Stik weather.

STORMS IN THE MAKING
They aren't fully formed yet, so keep track of these bad boys. Who knows how powerful of storms they may end up?

ICE AND SLEET
These rain showers turned very cold and deadly very quickly. Music is a revolutionary tool, and here I have opted to dabble. These storms aren't dangerous on the surface and enjoyable to some, but underneath lie hidden dangers that have yet to be realized.

TORNADOS
Nothing is more powerful than a tornado. It's quick, destructive and heart-wrenching. Here are my literary tornados which cover every rating from F0 to F5. There's a little of everything from a contest and forum to various graphic static items and collections with less than ten items. Keep in mind that chasing tornados is quite risky, so chase these tornados at your own risk.

 Life on the Dark Side Open in new Window. (XGC)
In here lie the darkest of paths. Proceed with caution.

The contest has a life of its own!
#888777 by Turkey DrumStik Author IconMail Icon

         Once a year, I ask for everyone to bring on their storms for me to chase and award prizes. When the Stik chases storms, she doesn't pack lightly, and you'll see why when the contest rolls around in mid-May.


         
 The Inside Track Open in new Window. (XGC)
Past journals and related items which can be called autobiographic
#1074452 by Turkey DrumStik Author IconMail Icon

         Here are the F5 tornados. Why do I designate this folder with the F5 rating? SImple. This is the autobiographical section, which means you're getting the rawest of the raw in here. Bad language, graphic imagery, unorthodox ideas and personal traumas all have their place here. Proceed with caution, as this is probably the most dangerous spot in all of the storm-laden lands in my port. After all, this is where the old journals and other super personal items go.




HURRICANES
While most people are probably more aware of what a hurricane is after September 2004, many have never weathered such an enduring storm. Though you can see a hurricane coming and prepare for it by protecting your home and getting supplies, nothing can prepare you emotionally for the unpredictability these storms do in fact possess. As an evacuee of one hurricane and a survivor of another (both of which hit my home county), I am more than aware of what a hurricane can do, and that is why these works have earned the name hurricane. These collections of ten or more parts are intense, complex, unpredictable and fairly long. Chasing these storms is meant for the marathon storm chasers, so get ready for the long haul.

You simply can't make up these outlandish postings! This one is especially amusing (or sad) "School ZoneOpen in new Window. [E].
