No, I'm at work, so I can't get Yahoo here. Websensed. They like to limit our fun, I can't understand why...

Okay, PMd you. And Plzzz don't hesitate to tell me it's AWFUL, lol. I'd rather not waste my time!

So, this isn't on topic at all, but there was this stupid Junior High type drama today wherein a friend started a twitter account to rib another friend. Apparently, the guy being ribbed found out I knew who the ribber was and wanted me to tell him. Well, I had no way to respond because I couldn't message him back for some reason. So, I go check my emails, and he'd emailed me about 30 minutes before. Two emails, 3 minutes apart. One asking me for a name. The other saying, "I know now. Thanks for nothing, Laura."

That pissed me off, so I responded, because he basically stalked me online and then was rude for no reason! I thought it was done, but he apparently CC'ed the hubby (they share an office). It pissed the hubby off too, and he told the dude off. I can't believe we're like 12 all over again! Only, at least the hubby stood up for me!!

Lol--it's a good thing hubs isn't on twitter yet-he'd be all over ribbing via fake accounts!

He loves practical jokes like that.

PM'd ya back! I don't think it's awful at all! I think it has potential to be good and dark.

Great man! I've seen pics of your hubby and I'd be scared to piss him off. How tall is he?
I hate the teenage drama stuff that goes on in adults. We had a very good group of friends break-up over it.

Apparently. But I just got a really nice, LONG email from him apologizing! LOL.

I know! It was pretty hilarious, but the guy doing the ribbing didn't even really post anything! He posted something about Top Gun songs, or something. Anyway, it was short lived.

He's 6'7" and can get pretty mad, especially when he plays sports, which he does with the guy who was rude to me.

Apparently the guy was scared enough to apologize about 10 minutes ago after having gotten my irritated reply 5 hours ago. I just had to bring in the big guns. :guns:

I told the hubby that it was a total turn on that he was my "knight in shining email" even if I stood up for myself too.

herbchick · Nov 3, 2009

Awww @ Laura!! What Hubby doesn't want to hear that.

~*Kate*~ · Nov 3, 2009

The author of Shiver just posted the cover and 1st paragraph of Linger on her blog.

Hit you back, just to chat.

Oh hellz yeah. I just quoted Eminem.

CommonReactor · Nov 3, 2009

Ooohohhh...I'm reading that right now! Wasn't sure I would like it, but I really really do!!! I'm not even 100 pages in.

coryleslie · Nov 3, 2009

Has anyone read Betwixt? I picked it up a month ago and it's next on my reading list.

I haven't read it. Werewolves aren't my thing (*hides from the wolf girls in the thread*). But I'll probably at least skim it to see what the fuss is about.

True cheesy story: We were both history majors. The department gave out two awards every year to the seniors-- one for best research paper and one for highest GPA & comprehensive exam scores-- but I only knew about the 1st one. So we're at the awards ceremony and they call his name for the 1st award. He's still walking down the aisle and they call my name for the 2nd. Then we get to the stairs and he stopped to let me go first, and the whole auditorium went, "Awwww!"

Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

houndrat said:
Oh, and btw, I'm starting to get annoyed. The only SNIs that are fleshing out a little have NO BIG ROMANCTIC ARCS that I can see. Although, hmmm...maybe this last one could. Can I email or PM one of you contemporary romance reading/writing types to see if my idea is any good???? This would be my first shot at contemporary YA.

I see some other have already jumped around with their hands raised, but if you'd like me to look, I'd be happy to.

It's not your typical werewolf book--the writing is pretty, and it's all about big romantic arc.....
