Get this. I haven't turned on my computer in TWO DAYS. I've been doing WORK at work. I'm fairly certain there's a rollicking good snowball fight going on in hell right now. Goodness knows it got near freezing here last night, after we were sure spring had taken a stand. Spring, evidently, is a wuss.
I know I've missed a lot, so I sum up:
1. You're an amazing writer - keep it up!
2. Wow, that sucks, sending e-sympathy... :(
3. OMG drastic hair change! But it's awesome, I could never do it.
4. Wha...what? *tilts head*
5. I never know what to say at times like this, so... silence seems the best bet.
6. What-EVA. *snap-snap-snap*
7. *gigglesnort*
Though they are aimed at specific people, you may pick and choose whatever you'd like if the fancy suits you. Or not. I'll be back to LJ in a week or so, I think, in the meantime, if there's something you just know I would kick myself for missing, gimme a link!
Part of the problem is a lack of time (though not from Lego Star Wars, interestingly enough!), the other is that I have some things I'm trying to hash out and post that sprung from a conversation with someone. A few someones, actually. It started out on a rambling tirade about loving romance novels, pigeonholing books into genres, and the lure of limited predictability, but has grown. I have, at last count, 8 'posts' ( click here to see proposed titles ) semi-composed in my head (and a bit actually written). A ninth occurred to me the other day, but I need to do some research. And I'm afraid the way I went about it today was not the best, but I'm rash. And since part of my rant has to do with the whole 'one bad apple shouldn't turn you off a genre', I need recommendations.
So, to those of you that read erotica, can you recommend a book? It'd be nice if it was one I didn't have to order on-line (though BN's selection was limited - I picked up 'What Happens in Vegas' and 'Cassandra's Conflict', neither of which I'm sure is a good representative of the genre?) so I could get this written sooner, but if I have to order it I have to order it.
Also, Snerfflebarglast will resume next week. Consider this a mid-contest intermission while I find and install my copy of WinDVD. Oh, that's right, the next round is a 'guess the movie from the screen shot' round. Maybe this weekend might be a good time to check out some films... ;)
