God there was never so much fun to be had since dressing up Ken and Barbie (or should I say Ken and Ken!)

You may have been a Ken and Barbie dresser-upper, but I never had the opportunity!!!

I went offline yesterday and didn't come back cause I had things to do...

you... do know, I hope, that I was kidding about the "Dem Legbones" story!

Oh, I feel really embarrassed now - I'm too gullible! I knew it would be odd for Louise because the sex is important for her writing, but I don't know, I wouldn't mind reading about Ennis in bed for three weeks Even if he would be cranky and bored out of his mind and they couldn't get it on with Ellery, I'm sure they talked a lot and had many tender moments. But I suppose we heard of that by the way in any case already. And if Louise had really meant it, she'd have written it in the Red Stallion already right? Gah. *hides below desk*


*climbs back out*
I think I know now what it feels to me would be a good ending or closure for the Dupree's Choice (even though I don't really want it to end  ) Jeremy saying to Nick he loves him 


I feel there's probably not enough time if Louise is ending it on Friday to have Jeremy's parents drop in unannounced and for everything that would bring along. The other things I would think would help him in being open about his choice is having an open conversation with Paula about him liking her, but having a boyfriend or you know, one of those gossipy scenes in the police department where Jeremy works and him admitting to his colleagues he's seeing someone and whom. but if he doesn't admit to it now, he sure will at the reception! I mean, he will no doubt be invited because he is Ennis's good friend and all and if this story ends as I see it ending at the moment, he sure will bring Nick along! And introduce him to Tooey and Sanches etc. perhaps?

Note: The numbering of the latest chapters is out of order.

It confused me as well. I don't know if it is out of order (it sort of feels like it is) or if Louise couldn't post them in order due to lj acting out? Just wondering. They are posted as follows:
2006-12-13 18:18:00 42. Chas
2006-12-13 18:26:00 44. Nick
2006-12-13 21:26:00 43. Jeremy
And Louise if you don't know, there is backdate posting possible on livejournal, so if they are titled correctly but not posted in correct order, you can fix it by making a backdated entry.

If I was still playing the Sims 2 game I would have so made a Laramie neighbourhood by now and all of these characters would be there But it's too addictive for me, I uninstalled the game and haven't played in a year because I just can't stop once I start playing...

EEEK!  Livejournal hates me.

Okay gang... I managed to recreate an entry for Chapter 44 and have manually copied comments (so they all, embarrassingly enough, appear as if I wrote them complimenting myself.

New link to chapter 44 now appears properly in order.

I tried backdating that sucker till the cows come home and absolutely no luck. I believe they did some sort of software upgraded that is playing havoc with backdating, and did it right when I was trying to post chapter 44 at midnight last night, and so it got lost in the ether.

No clue - LJ hasn't been back to me, but I will go back and update the link for 44 to reflect the NEW ch 44.  EGAD!

Early breaking update, because I drank WAAAY too much coffee last night and hardly slept at all.

don't tell me I've become predictable!  DANG!

[louisev]

Okay, folks.  As you know, I did post a poll some weeks ago for "What Should Dupree Do"? back when I was writing the Red Stallion and I didn't know what that boy was on about.

And the winner of the poll was "Get it on with Jeeves."

And try as I might, and to the dismay of Jeeves-boosters (and yes, there are more than three of you, as well as the ones who took the poll - I think Jeeves won with 11 votes), I could not make it happen with Jeremy and Jeeves.  (However, much to the delight of Milli and the Nickilator fans.)

However... that leaves us with Jeeves, not quite as happily nesting with Lance the kinky bottom boy and former carpet-layer and server, and that somehow doesn't seem right either... not over the long term.  So, after mulling this one over for at least five minutes, I decided that Jeeves's story is not over.  He still has too many names, and we haven't cleared that up, his patching up his friendship with Jeremy (who still does consider him a friend), and the problem of his finding something better to do than ordering up bigger, better and more scary items to spank Lance with.  So I will be adding a follow on Jeeves story to the list of plots in the Laramie Tales.

Our next tale, as "Dupree's Choice" wraps up in the next day, will be "What I Did On My Day Off", told from Ellery's point of view, about his meeting a 40-something ranchhand one Friday morning in May, 1984.

HOLEEE CRAP!!!!!  Wow!  What a way to start the morning!  No, you're not predictable, Louise!  Because Ray-the-perv is a witness in Jeremy's case, I figured one or the other would put two and two together, but not like this!   I never thought that creep Ray would show up at the Stallion - thought he'd be too afraid to be seen in the queer bar - but I can see he was really desperate!   What will happen in court?   
 
My head is spinnin'.  Love Lauren.  Gotta love Wayne (although the talk about Pinky and Wayne being so cold made me so sad). 

Could Jeremy possibly be sweeter? Damn, I love that guy!   Love that little backrub thing he does.

Great news about the Jeeves story.  I really like him - what a really, really interesting and unique character!!!  And as I've said before, the Edna in me just wants everyone to be happy!

You're the best, Louise!

Thanks, Marie
