What did you believe in when AW was down?

None of the above, I thought it was a rather heavy hint from the universe to get on with starting the next re-write of my current WIP, or starting a new one, or ding anything that required moving ink from my pen to a piece of paper.

I was panicking that I'd never get a good query letter done without AW's help and was wearing my mouse out trying to see if we were back in business

I'm just glad to have AW back!

I figured aliens had abducted all the AW'ers because of the brain power invested in this place, which explained why I was the only one left... or ... aliens abducted AW'ers to discover how the human gene pool could produce such silliness... or ... well, anyway, I think aliens were involved.

This was not a poll option.

I believed in Crystal Light and I believed in me.

Actually, I was trying to figure out how to reactivate the Refugee Camp. It's been nearly 3 years since the Great Blackout.

Y'all know what my answer is. ! for everyone!

AW was down?

I believed in writing...but I did get a few emails asking me if they'd been banned for some reason and just didn't know it.

I passed along soothing *no it doesn't exist for anyone* messages and went back to writing. My work counts were through the roof this weekend.

Writing? What's that?

Don't know where Orlando Bllom or Bloom were - I was with Jamie West-Oram.


Wait. AW was down?

(Seriously, I actually got some writing done, but was starting to worry about whether there's be anyone to crit - and whether or not I actually wanted anyone to tell me how much it sucked... )

Wondering why Mac planned world domination without me

It would be so much fun.

I dig world domination

But chocolate and redbull better

With the other facebook junkies...then the refugee camp. It must have been traumatic cause I'm not even usually on over the weekends I didn't try on Sunday. I had to go to the Mall of America to the Nickelodeon theme park to find my 'zen' balance on some thrill rides & people watching

oops..there are 2 questions. I thought I broke AW cause I went on a rep spree. I posted a smiley at the refugee camp then my internet went down & I thought I broke that too!

I felt like everyone knew I was here but you were all hiding behind the sofa with the lights off.

At first I figured it was an update of the AW stuff, but as the day wore on
I figured a plot was under way.

I made a few 'calls' to a couple of guys with crooked noses and was quoted a fee. I looked up an old friend of mine and got Mac's addy and was all set to send in the noses. (Just a few minor broken bones...nothing real bad.....), but I held off.

(Wipes sweat from my brow....)

Other than that, I played some of my online hero games and watched some TV.

I started to take it personally and was mentally running through the posts I'd made up to the blackout to see who I'd insulted and how deeply (telling myself there'd be no way I could match such greatness as to bring down AW again, but I'd sure try like hell).

Existence was on hold during the blackout

I checked it every time I was online. Yeah, every 5 minutes...

I believed in Susie's essential goodness. And held on to the belief that one day these high-maintenance house guests would depart.

Aww, thx much, Maryn. *blush* Backatcha! PS Hope they both left now. Missed y'all lots!

While AW was down, I chased my wife around the house more than usual, with wanton lust in my heart. Almost caught her, too, but she's awfully fast, even as she yelled at me to, "Stop right this second you crazy fool!"

Reminded me of the old days, like when the power went out and our house became dark and foreboding; except back then, she'd run in my direction seeking comfort.

Times sure have changed.

SK, I wish you had put a drink alert on your post. Now I have to go clean up this keybooaorod. Schnapps is not a good thing for laptops.
