Well....
I have a fear of flying. I hit some "white turbulence" many years back. Drinks went flying and one of the flight attendants was hurt. I've been white-knuckled on a plane ever since. I fly at least twice a year on business and sometimes more often so it's a real pain. Also, if you see someone gripping their armrests, don't tell them that it won't hold up the plane. It's really irritating.
I'm claustrophobic but only really in caves. I learned this at Tom Sawyer Island at Disney World. Fun, that.
I do have a fear of crowds, especially when I'm not sure how to get out of one. Movies are an issue if the exit is behind me. I think it's been ten months since my last movie in a theater. Before that, I think it was a year.
I'm good with clowns, spiders, bees, heights, and water, though. (I'll probably die from drowning while in anaphylactic shock after being pushed off of a building into a swimming pool by a clown.)
I preferentially read and write reluctance and seduction stories. And I read anything by certain writers.
I don't know what you keep around. Usually I drink dirty martinis but I'll take an approximation or a suggestion.
And thank you.
Story is so much harder for me. So is character, for that matter (Wait! This is supposed to be an exhibitionism story. My main character is an ex-nun. Bad choice! It'll take too many words to get her there....).
The truth is that I put in far more thought, energy, and effort into plot than I do the sex scenes. They just don't require it. Hopefully, I've already set up the motivation and the emotional consequences. Now all I need is a good action sequence.
I was a recipient of a Random Act of Kindness, which is why I started doing them myself.
I was visiting my parents in Florida. We were eating in a local restaurant and someone paid our bill. My parents are guarded; they don't expect good things to happen to them. Their reaction was the best part.
There once was a cat name of Lizzy
Whose stories left one quite dizzy.
She never got stuck,
And had all the luck
She toasted each EP with fizzy.
In no particular order....
1. The Godfather
2. Jaws
3. Aliens
4. The Terminator
5. The Matrix
6. Goodfellas
7. Labyrinth
8. Pulp Fiction
9. Star Wars: A New Hope
10. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Not so much planned, as expected.
It was a third date. We were both really into each other, but it's not like I had candles placed and rose petals scattered.
It could have happened on the fourth date, I suppose.
Happiness is...a warm puppy on your lap.
This made me laugh....And champagne breakfasts, which are considered rather classy over here....So really, Rachel is just posh.
