Postcard from the Edge

First, my most favorite quote ever:

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you’re stuck with this indefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there’s nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there’s a Peanut Butter Cup or an English Toffee. But they’re gone too fast and the taste is… fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you’re desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box… filled with useless brown paper wrappers.

That’s by the Cigarette Smoking Man played by Bill (may I call you Bill?) Davis on the X-files. Man, I loved that guy.

Anyway, I’m not all the way back yet. Internet’s not set up for the house. I’m actually piggy-backing on my neighbor’s wireless. Dude, I feel so… wicked. It’s like stealing.

Also… why hasn’t anyone ENTERED MY MONTHLY WRITING CONTEST other than Tumperkin (whom I tewtally love, btw)? You can do whatever you want with Ollie and Leilani. You can stick ‘em in space, have ‘em kill each other in a shoot-out, get torn apart by zombies… whatevs. Whatever your imagination can come up with. You have till Aug. 10th, you know. Seriously. Do you… not like book money? Double-you-tee-eff, guys. I’m starting to feel ignored here. Do I need to post naked pictures of Jensen Ackles to get your attention? [I know, right? Threaten you with a good time!]

Will announce the winner to Miss Gale’s contest on Monday.

Be good, Kids. I’ll be back in fine form soon.

    I’ve been busy reading Supernatural slash as well! Man that stuff is addictive. Who knew brothers doing the nasty could be so hot?

    I want to enter, just need to think of something to write. Yes, maybe naked Jensen would help with writer’s block. Naked Jensen would help with pretty much anything.

    Bam, honestly from what little I’ve read of your story, I can’t think of a fanzie tie in. Not a bad thing, because it’s well written so nothing that I know of can tie in. Yeah, that’s lame. Yeah, that’s pathetic. But I have standards, dammit. If I can’t do justice to a writer/show/whatever I won’t write it.

    I would not object to Jensen becoming my naked muse, though.

    Maybe I`ll do a fanfic of this post instead - one where Bam just went ahead with her threat and posted all the naked JA pics she wanted. Mmm, imagination [/spongebob]. Seriously Bam, I`ll be thinking about your challenge, though it might be more along the lines of crackfic!

    I really can’t write, otherwise I would have! Thats why I’m depending on all these great reads! I just wouldn’t know what my life would be like without some reading each day!!

    Good luck all playing!

    Ha, thank you for sharing that quote. I’d heard the first few lines before and loved them, but hadn’t heard the whole thing and didn’t know where it came from!
