Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I have my fill, thank you.

A puppy, though ... that we could talk about.

I've got spare bedrooms and a mattress...but he might get bored with home improvements. Hope the night improves.

I am just mad so every thing bugs. If I can lose the anger soon, I think I'll have to start some martial art or fight class type thing again, when I have no idea.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

msbelle - how about a trade?

“Not dead yet!”

Well, I don't know if writers owe their publics anything, Barb, but I did kind of find Stephenie Meyers post-leak flounceoff kind of ungracious...

Well, that was just ridic, in my opinion. I don't blame her for being hacked that someone leaked her preciousssss, but the public flounce-off was just ridiculously unprofessional and high school drama queen.

That post, however, smacked of, "And while you're at it, get down on your knees and blow me with a smile on your face."

To paraphrase the divine Gaiman, "a writer ain't your bitch."

And the part about how having a fan rewrite your novel is the height of flattery just made me want to grind my teeth. Fan-fiction is one thing-- groovy, rock on, I just don't need to see it, for a variety of reasons, some of which are legal. But rewriting? NSM with the flattery.

msbelle, you have my ear should you need it.

msbelle, maybe a bath? Or earphones on and some really angry music to jump around to?

it's ok. he's watching tv and I'm on the computer. plus he's watching a cartoon where one of the characters is being a royal brat - the parallels are even clear to him.

I'm watching Walk the Line on tv (I've seen it before,) and I know Roseanne Cash and her sibs weren't happy with how it portrayed their mom, but honestly, Viv comes off as someone he really did do wrong and not at all unsympathetic. I feel bad for her.
