Whatever it is that Dupree likes
girls or straights or queers
Around the block and down the street
are queues of volunteers!

This was great, Jo!  I always get a good  laugh when I read your creations!
What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.   -Annie Proulx (Icon by alighttofollow)

Jo, that poem made tears come to my eyes - tears of laughter!

Who would have thought one desperate teenage kiss back in Basic Training has led to... all this?

Got to love it!

And no guys, the leather suit hasn't worn off yet. I woke up this morning and there was only one thing I thought of first:  Wolverine.

Janice, I SO agree with you about Dupree and comparing him to Sam Wise and what he would do for E and E. Perfectly worded. So true. I love that boy too, from the very first day Louise introduced him  :)

I may be missing in action tonight at the Media Markt trying to purchase a copy of XMen-3... because, damn.  Just well, damn.

And potential more good news on the horizon now that the interim good news of my still billing has just now sunk in: I got an encouraging word on my new contract in *snort* Wisconsin and may be getting an offer tonight or tomorrow.  What does this mean to you all?  It means I won't be getting sad and depressed any time soon over being unemployed, but it does mean I will have to marshal my resources and time, and may be dropping back to my one-chapter-per day plan so as to have time to muck out the apartment, order plane tickets, clean, (oh my god that oven again!) etc.

think of it as weaning off, down to one chapter a day.

I haven't got the offer in hand, I just have the "you're in the running and it looks good" situation.

It was chilly in mainland Europe today as well, but like the lazy bum I am, I didn't go out until the frost was already getting soggy and I got to avoid scraping!

Now Souxi we talked about this weaning thing. I promise that before the story ends you'll have plenty to talk about - and reread!

Of course when you wean someone off something, it's generally by getting them onto something else. Something just as substantial.

Something like Book 7 of the Saga perhaps  ;)  ;)  ;)  :laugh:

7 is a lucky number after all  :laugh:

It is frosty today, but sunny, which I like.
