Luckily I offered to pay for the damage to the car and the whole episode was forgotten, though the p1gs said they would keep my name on file, why I could not figure."

"The wailing and screaming blocked his senses and stopped the messages franticly being dispersed across his body, telling all to work together and repel the foe, from reaching their destinations. He looked to see Emma sinking her teeth into his thigh, blood appearing either side of her mouth, her eyes boring into his with an unreachable intensity. What was he to do?"

Everything's kind of crazy over here. My novel is stalled out at the moment and school is taking up all my free time, but I'm holding out hope that everything will even out...eventually.

"Standing in the men's toilets taking a pi55 as fast as you could to get back out there and back on it, like a horny teenager who has to jerk off as quick as possible instead of delaying it, enjoying, drawing it out. Back to the chair, f**k the friends, just the chair and the bar and a book, if you had a good one, and that was it. Slug it down."

Hey sweets,
How are you today? Yay for Friday, though it did take its time this week, didn't it?
I am suffering from alcohol poisoning and I think I am actually dying so will go home early today, I'd rather it happened at home.
Speak this weekend?
Take care

Bonsoir mon amour... I mean, amie (ami?!). How are you? I am melting in a steamy Brooklyn night; today was a scorcher. I spent my time walking the streets, sweltering in tights cos my feet got so badly burnt yesterday it looks like I'm wearing red socks, and I had to cover them up!

They have a special promotion on DK in Barnes & Noble, just in case you wanted me to get you any titles...

Hope you had a great weekend down South, and are doing good xxx
