Feeling like a wee bit of nonsense

Or maybe it’s just I’ve never had a morning in which NO one visited my little corner of Gen. Busy shopping? Are you actually working? 0_0

Well, then… I will continue futzing with the layout of Second of All and writing on Third Time’s the Charm. Remember to vote in the poll if you want me to write you a Valentine’s Day short romance.

 

To those who have actually read First, I Love You

and/or perhaps the snippets of Second of All posted on this site. I’ve asked a few people already based on a few different ideas (and of course the old cover idea I had ages ago) for their opinions on this cover but I especially want the opinion right now of those who are familiar with the trilogy.

To be honest, I really prefer either of these (versus a darker background), but I am willing to be talked out of it. Well, you know me, more like argued out of it. LOL

The Celtic cross in the middle is designed by Aris Dervis, and it is used with his gracious permission.

🙂

Edited to say, I’ve picked the one on the right. You can look in the Second of All tab to the right to see the layout.

A Very important question for the best fans in the world (yes, you!)

So if I were to say… write a short story for Valentine’s Day…

Remember! Second of All is due out in JANUARY!!!

(EEEE! and also, *biting nails*)

Sounds about right, except, you forgot the booze, Bob.

Enter to win———->

LIEBSTER: Some questions are answered, others pop up

The Rules:

  • When one receives the award, one posts 11 random facts about oneself and answers the 11 questions asked by the person who nominated you.
  • Pass the award onto 11 other blogs (while making sure one notifies the blogger that one nominated them!)
  • One writes up 11 NEW questions directed towards YOUR nominees.
  • One is not allowed to nominate the blog who nominated one’s own blog!
  • One pastes the award picture above into one’s blog. (You can google the image, there are plenty of them!)

I was nominated by Penelope Jones, aka Bad Penny, aka Sweet P, aka Bawdy Maude the Super Swell 50s Broad.  Her blog is http://www.thepenelopejones.wordpress.com and she writes sweet poems, raunchy poems, sweet stories, raunchy stories, whaaaaat-was-that stories, and also BDSM stories (and pictures, the pictures are the best part).

Eleven Random Facts about me:

1. I once participated in the Junior Olympics in fencing.

2. I finished all semesters of Differential Equations before my senior year in high school (wow, I use that math alllll the time now, for real… not.)

3. I hate anchovies.

4. I hate warm pineapples. Totally squicks me out. Gah!

5. I once hit on a monk in Assisi, but in fairness I didn’t realize he was a monk at the time. TOTAL false advertising. Italian men are tricky, ladies, let that be a lesson.

6. I had very blond hair when I was little but now it is dark. I don’t dye it.

7. When I was pregnant with my middle child I ate an avocado every day. Yeah, a whole one. Mmmnn.

8. I wear heels even on the days I never leave the house.

9. I read my first smut book at the age of ten.

10. I’ve re-read Pride & Prejudice probably every year since the first time I read it at the age of thirteen. (You can add how many years that is based on your assumption of how old I am. I suggest you make me in my twenties. My twenties were fun. I think.)

11. I have a sweet young sounding voice… and a really, really dirty mouth.

Penny Maude the Dirty Broad’s Eleven Questions:

  • 1. What is your favorite color and why?

Green. I love nature.

  • 2. If you could do one dare-devil move, knowing you would live through it, what would it be and      why?

I do not do daredevil moves. Nope, nuh uh. Bwak bwak.

  • 3. Have you had a one night stand?

Yes.

  • 4. Did you know his/or her’s name?

Yes.

  • 5. Name a quality in yourself you love?

My loyalty.

  • 6. Name a quality in yourself you don’t love?

My insecurity.

  • 7. If you could be a flavor of skittles, which one would you be and why?

Cherry. Why? …..Duh.

  • 8. Name one thing about your partner you love, or your dream partner would have?

His humor.

  • 9. If you could only have sex in one place forever, where would it be and why?

I find this question extremely confusing, Penny. One place as in my house? Outside? On a bed? Place in my body? *snicker* Alright, fine, beds are fun. Many things can be done with a bed, on a bed, against a bed. I prefer beds.

  • 10. How many times did you change your answer to question 9?

I dithered on it so long there was no need to change it. LMAO

  • 11. How many of you think Bad Penny’s always to blame?

Not me. In the words of Al Capone, Bad Penny’s “just providing a service”. *snicker*

My nominations:

My questions for my nominees:

1. What’s your favorite piece of clothing?

2. What’s your favorite accessory?

3. What’s the first book that truly shocked you?

ReBlog: On sexual submission (plus my thoughts)

On sexual submission.

This man’s mind is an amazing thing. His blog is intellectually mesmerizing. I suggest you take a look at this post if you’ve ever been curious about the Dominant/submissive BDSM symbiotic relationship. His post reminded me of the discussions I have had — and led — regarding the varied menagerie of human sexuality while teaching Anthropology. It’s easy to get caught up in your own point of view and not think of it from the Other’s. I’m very guilty of that from time to time.
