That IS a nice gesture. I gotta re-up soon, I think.
I suspect I am one of the few exceptions here. I get bored by backstory and character motivation and long, linear build-ups. Don't necessarily jump into the sex, but jump into something, whether it's action or dialogue or plot (or sex). Jump into them moment and let the reader figure it out.
I don't really care that before fucking, they had dinner in a nice restaurant and then romantically walked the streets of Paris at sunset.
Happy birthday. in addition to being a great friend and a great bartender, you are a great editor. You have improved so many of my stories with a simple thoughtful private message. You read witth a generous and caring eye. I hope you have an excellent day, friend.
I am surprisingly awake and alert!
St. Patrick's Day in my NYC days was CRAAAAAAAZY. People peeing in the streets, puking in public restrooms.
You'd walk into a bar late at night and the bartenders looked like shell-shocked war veterans (though I bet they made a lot of tips).
It's been pretty chill everywhere else I've lived.
I like Jamesons lots, but it doesn't compare to the heady Listerine and compost afternotes of a fine bottle of Safeway Select 12 Day Aged Burrbin. Throw a shoot of that into my köffee today if you will, good man.
And an early happy birthday to our bartender, fearless leader, provider of bad jokes and liquor, and caretaker of the blue site, Bill, our humble barkeep. Cheers! Have a shot on me.
I think in the heat of a moment of heated sex or roleplay a lot of woman would be aroused by the scenarios you describe. It's not simply acquiescing to male domination, but an active exploration of their own fantasies. Certainly not all woman. But enough so that it's not unrealistic.
Sorry I did not show up for my 5-5:15 shift yesterday, boss. Am I fired?
Writing an actual short story is showing me how lazy I got writing all that flash. Nice to use some different writing muscles this time out. Now if I can just get the plot to find some traction, I will be rolling.
Köffee please.
Octopuses have been able to open childproof pill bottles in experiments. Also, all octopuses are venomous.
THANK YOU GAV! for fixing this ? bug! Showing and linking Forum posts from the friends activity feed was my main way to look around the Forums. Glad it's back!
Tonya, sounds like the last week or so has been eating you up (and not in the good way). Hope things calm soon.
Bill, I watched returns for hours last night, then gave up when the vote was stuck at 98% reporting, assuming I'd find out a winner the next day. No such luck, though I think that making that deeply red district competitive is already a bit of a victory.
I'll miss Mr. Hawking. Our generation's Einstein. I showed my kids videos of him from when they were quite young - they do a pretty good impression (not in a mean way).
Yeah, Jen, my kids are walking out today too. Guns have been a topic at the dinner table lately. My views have evolved in the last year. I'm still pretty pro-2nd amendment (ALL amendments), but I am much more open to tighter restrictions than I used to be. I shot a semi-auto once, it was fun. But putting weapons of war in the hands of citizens so they can have "fun" is a bridge I am no longer willing to cross.
Tired today. This working two jobs (my regular 9-5 job, followed by my strenuous 5-5:15 shift here at Rumps) is killing me. Köffee please.
Remember my 15 minute happy hour shift begins in a half an hour! All the beer-like and liquor-esgue substances you can drink in 15 minutes for free!
Also available for dancing after my shift, at 5:15!
Bill, since you are making an attempt at organizing an unorganizable group here, I'll volunteer for the 5-5:15 shift, when all those happy hours drink orders come pouring in.
Wait, is there even a happy hour here?
Enjoyed cutting the rug with you yesterday, Hannah. Sorry for your woes, Gill and Tonya. And for your tooth, Larry.
Köffee. Off to teach (remotely) how to use LucidPress this morning. Gotta be sharp. Or if I can't be sharp, at least heavily caffeinated.
