I'm on a break from jury selection. Apparently the plan is to see whether voir dire can be fatally tedious. My fellow citizens appear to be a lot crazier than the last jury pool I was in. They may actually pick me because of my relative sanity, even though I warned them I would be the juror who kept running to the bathroom.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We have mutual friends and she's still on and posts regularly.
Ahh. I was gonna say, Facebook totally deleted my friend's account out of the blue because they thought it was a fake name and I had the same feeling of "what the...?"

They may actually pick me because of my relative sanityThat's crazy! If you are the only sane one on the panel, it's sure to be a hung jury. Convince the prosecution that it would be a bad idea.
What? It sounds logical to me.

“Not dead yet!”
um. Barb. I'm not one for romance novels. But I do like me some baseball. I might be interested in that book. If you were more local, I'd be happy to accompany you on "research" trips to the ball park. The things we do for literature.
Heh-- s'okay, omnis, I don't tend to write conventional romances. *g* Round about this time of year I really miss living in Cleveland-- have to say, that was the best ten year span to live there, too, starting in '94 when Jacobs Field was first opened and the team was a thing of beauty. Best kind of baseball team-- talented AND had the types of characters that baseball is so noted for.
I'd definitely hit the ballpark with you, bud-- like you said, the things we do for literature.

That's a hit single just waiting to happen:
"Let's Skype Tonight"
Or, maybe...
"Night Skyping"

Oh, thanks for turning my attention to this, David: omnis, I mean my night.
And surprisingly enough, I somehow managed to stop myself from adding "girlfriend" after the bitching how stupid people are. Until now.
As for hits... Skypestoned? Eleanor Skypey? Skyping on a prayer? I suck at this game.
