It's just one of those days...

[mistymassey]

For some reason today, I feel like a waste of a perfectly good person.

Had a great weekend, things are chugging along on the second book, and it's an easy-peasy day at work, but I just can't find the happy. So share some happy with me, please. Tell me a joke, share a wacky news story, tease me.

Tease Me

[beatrizwench.livejournal.com]

You can haz a minion who will... uhm.. what am I supposed to do again?

Oh yeah! Bring chocolate! Beat annoying people over the head with a rubber chicken. Deliver you to sushi. (As opposed to delivering you FROM evil)

Joke:

Tarzan stripes forever. Just saying.

Ta-da!

Okay, Minion, Misty wants Jonathan Rhys Meyers (http://innerjoejoe.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/jonathanrhysmeyersbrown.jpg) to come and give her a foot massage for about two days.

I'll wait here. ;D

It's going to take me a few days, Captain, what with figuring out the kidnapping plans and all. :-)

I understand. Could you make sure he's almost wearing those pants from the picture when you take him?

:D

I'll share an amusing experience:

I'm in my Anthropology lecture and my professor (who is a distinguished white man in his 60s) just spent five minutes doing chimpanzee calls and then jumped to speaking Ebonics, to demonstrate linguistics. I cannot stop laughing.

I'd have paid good money to see that! *grin*

When I was in college, I took Acting 201 (needed an elective, you know) and the teacher was this tall, white-haired, ultra-sophisticate who wished he was still directing off-Broadway instead of teaching a bunch of Southern kids how to enunciate. When he read the class role the first time, he stopped at my name.

"Misty?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," I said.
"Short for anything?"
"No, it's my real name. My parents named me for their favorite song."

He dropped the clipboard, ran to the piano and played and sang the first verse and chorus of the song, to my complete and utter embarrassment. From then on, when he called the role, he would stop before my name, and play the first few measures instead.

*blushes*

Oh, I would I died! The only thing similar I've experience is when my favorite history teacher in high school sang "Mandy" for my birthday, which was hysterical.
But it's awesome when composed men totally break away from their usual behavior.

No truer word was spoken. :D

A Guy Walks Into a Bar

[philipmcavery.livejournal.com]

A guy walks into a bar, sits down and hears a small voice say, "You look nice today." A few minutes later he again hears a small voice, "That's a nice shirt." The guy asks the bartender, "Who is that?" The bartender says, "Those are the complimentary peanuts!"

Chin officially up, thank you!

(And the tale of the Viking was beautiful! You'll forgive me a teary eye, I hope. It's accompanied by a mother's smile.)

*waves* It was a pleasure to meet you in person at your book signing at B&N last month. (I've been off LJ for a while trying to finish a writing project.)

I was drawn right into your unique story from the beginning. I think you did a marvelous job establishing Kestrel's credibility as a leader in a man's world. I am relieved you allowed Kestrel to keep the Thanos. Such a fearless woman needs a stylish ship. I'm curious about her magical abilities and these Danisoba people. I want to know much, much more about McAvery's kissing techniques -- and more about that red stone too! (I think I'll have my wish as I see you are working on your second book.)

[madkestrel.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Your kind thoughts just made my morning, and I'm so pleased the book worked for you. I am working on a second, and I'm definitely touching on everything you asked about. *smile*

It was delightful to meet you, too - please keep me posted on the status of your work. I'd love to read it!

[authoress-susan.livejournal.com]

I'll be recommending your book on two of my ljs when I make a book post -- as soon as I'm finished with my writing project. (*must finish* *must finish*) I'm sure to have more good things to say about Mad Kestrel.

I know quite a few female pirates! One of my dearest friends occasionally writes crack fic called the Tales of the Salty Knob, which features an all female crew. Their goal is to find riches -- and male companionship, of course. They're a hard drinking, hard living lot. In her stories, I'm Commander Charlotte Campbelle of The Enchantress, a luxury pirate boat which lurks in the same waters. *giggles*

*goes back to writing like a disciplined sorceress*
