I almost forgot to mention:

I have actually been paying attention to my writing journal, and as such have posted a few more things. My idea file is still locked, but there is more stuff to cast your glancers on if you so desire.

I may even post the prologue I am working on right now for Kitten Claws.

Also, I couldn't beleive this story I encoutered over at LJ Drama. I do try to have profound empathy for the emotionally and mentally disturbed, but this chick is fucking batshit crazy.

While I'm here, I thought I's take time to mention that sunless tanning is silly and absurd. I mean, so is regular tanning. So long as I live, I will never see the appeal of laying out in the sun until it cooks your skin. That is fucking gross! If somebody said you were ugly and had to go lie in an oven until you looked better...most of us would protest. So why would anyone actually get the sun to fry thier skin to a darker shade on purpose? Ew! Plus, that's also pretty vain.

Then again, I am quite beautiful pale...even zombie pale.
After all...I'm a "winter"!

In sadder news, I heard someone else is going to die before the end of the season on LOST.
Alls I can say is, it had better fucking not be Hurley!
I bet it will be Jack. He sucks, and he's not taking good care of himself.

EDIT: Here's the prologue of my newest novel Kitten Claws. This is where you meet the protagonist and the antagonist and learn a little something about each.

Right, ...you'd think especially with him being a doctor, he'd know better.

and being a redhead, i hate hearing people talking about going tanning, etc. what a waste of money.

Yeah...I mean regular tanning is silly enough. But paying for the privilege of getting cancer for the purpose of vanity is just outrageous.

As for Jack, he's losing his grip, methinks.
But they have spent a lot of time developing his story, so they may not kill him. Jin seems like a more likely choice, or Charlie may get into that stash of heroin.

Yeah, I'm in [livejournal.com profile] fake_lj_deaths, so I followed the [livejournal.com profile] dancediva81 drama from the beginning.... before the journals were suspended, that is. It was some pretty messed up shit.

It wasn't just that she was taking pictures to post on the internet, either. Amy was taking "Tayt" to playdates with people in the parenting communities she joined. She wasn't just pretending online. She was pretending in real life. Scary.

You have to wonder what the hell is going on with that girl.

I think the term for people who make up fake babies with health issues online is "Munchausens by Internet." We get a lot of that at LJFD. This chick just went way too far with it, though. Who knows- maybe she *REALLY* wanted a baby, and when her friend had one, she saw an opportunity. But, seriously. She needs some kind of help.

I think you're being a bit extreme. Certainly people shouldn't be spending hours out in the sun. But there is nothing unhealthy about purposfully tanning. Not getting enough sun is also unhealthy. It's like anything else in the world. Moderation. A glass of wine per day is healthy. Tanning in the open sun for 30 minutes per day is healthy. Drinking a bottle of wine per day is not healthy, and neither is spending 3 hours in the sun.

Tanning booths are of course just plain crazy. If I had my way I would smack all of the people who repeat the bullshit about tanning booths being healthier than natural sun. But I don't have that much time on my hands.

The funniest conversation I ever had regarding tanning was...
Monica: I'm going tanning.
Nate: You know you can get that shit for free.
Monica: Tanning booths are safer.
Nate: That doesn't make any sense.
Monica: Well I've never burned in a tanning booth. People gut sun-burns all the time from being outside.
Nate: how long does tannign take?
Monica: 15 minutes.
Nate: How long does it take for you to get a sun-burn?
Monica: I don't know? 6 hours
Nate: Spend 6 hours under the lights and then tell me their safer than the sun.
