My internet is fucked. Apparently the signal for the webs is weak so I can't get on the internet at my apartment.
Seeing as how all my damn classes are online, not to mention maintaining this blog, writing stories, and other time wasters...this not having convenient internet thing is really starting to drive me banana sandwich.
Ugh.
So this is why I'm not online a lot, why I can't get my stories done quickly, and why I'm going to lose my motherfucking mind. Damn you, Comcast.
On the bright side, at least I'll be going home to the parentals' house next week for Thanksgiving. Hot and cold running Internet and all the comforts of being at home. Mmm, real food. I can't wait.
I'm still trying out new templates for this thing. The ones on file are damn terrible. I don't think I like this one too much though. Definitely bland.

Paper Bag
Ahh, another Wednesday!
Got one assignment done, and nearly ready to start the other one so naturally I'm procrastinating. Not much news to report. My best friend (or BFF...we pronounce it as "boof") is coming in this weekend and I'm super pumped. I haven't seen her in about two or three months. Too bad I have to work this weekend but there's always the daytime.
So, my inner perfectionist has decided to not post Always and Never until next week. There's a lot of shit I need to clean up, lots of detail to add. Plus, homework has completely dominated my computer for the past two weeks and it's hard to get some creative time in that doesn't involve looking at ads and updating my graded blog (which I still haven't done).
In other news, still no interwebs at the house yet. Hopefully that will change by tomorrow. But in the meantime, I'll leave you with this playlist.
The first song is "Paper Bag" (and the title of this entry) by Fiona Apple. Last week, when I was going through a ridiculously rough time, this song was perfect.
And today, I was watching Dan in Real Life. If you haven't seen it, definitely check it out. I've never been an emotional person, but I was definitely getting misty-eyed. One part in particular was when Steve Carell and Dane Cook are singing "Let My Love Open the Door". Not only is that one of my FAVORITE songs, it totally fits the scene.
I also added the original versions by Pete Townsend.
Well, back to the homework grind. Have a great Wednesday, guys!
Rock on!

A Quickie (Haha)
Okay so this is going to be short, 'cause technically I'm supposed to be working on homework for two classes. I really fucking hate having two online classes at the same time, in the same program, because everything is due on the same day. I'm going to need something akin to a miracle to write two 4-6 paged papers before 11;55 tonight. One shouldn't be so bad, but the other one is going to be harder than a virgin in a whorehouse. (LOL, well at least I know my creativity isn't lacking)
Speaking of, I'm out of my funk. Not entirely, but I've been talking things out and it's helped a lot. I'm slowly trying to get myself organized. My apartment is kind of a mess, and I desperately need to get my homework schedule down and stop waiting until the last minute. I'm trying, but I need to work harder.
In other news, I'm going to Charleston tomorrow with my friend so she and her sister can vote. I love a good road trip. I voted two Fridays ago (absentee ballot, FTW!) so I'm all set. Tomorrow's going to be historical, wherever your may fall on the political spectrum. So if you haven't already done so, GET THE FUCK OUT AND VOTE! That's pretty much all I'm gonna say about politics on this blog. EVER.
So, my modem has decided to be an angry whore and die on me. It's really inconvenient because now I have to make time to go to the Comcast store and fucking hurl it at them (I mean, delicately explain to them what the situation is). Needless to say, I'm not happy. The dude on the phone actually had the nerve to tell me it was my network adapter in my BRAND NEW laptop that wasn't working because it couldn't possibly be their craptacular machine.
Who feels like the tool now? So, I'm without the internet at the house until about Wednesday or Thursday. I'm at WVU's library, which is fine by me. I can't get work done in my house anymore and plus there's cappuccino here. Score. (Which could explain why I'm so hyper.)
Sigh. Homework sucks, but I gotta get going on it. Whenever I'm finished, I'll be posting my new story on Lit. Blame Comcast for the delay.
Until next time!

Playlist, Life Updates, etc.
God, I hate Wednesdays. It's the time when I have to do the most work for my classes. Discussion questions must be posted, lessons must be read, and to be honest I'm kind of sick of having to be creative. Oh well. It's the life of a student.
In other news, I'm seriously considering taking a sabbatical from drinking. Earlier this week I had a ridic episode that someone had to witness (or listen to, as it is). I'm sorry about that. Normally I don't tend to be a basketcase, but there's been a lot of unnecessary stress that I'm slowly trying to get rid of. So tonight I don't think I'll be drinking at the bar.
I know a lot of people are wondering what's going on with my writing. Well to be honest, I haven't been feeling as awesome as I used to about my work. Yes, from time to time I do get a little intimidated and insecure about my work. But then I realized that there are always going to be people out there that are "better" writers. I put better in quotations because even though we may write erotica, our styles are completely different. We don't have the same experiences or go through the same emotions.
Plus, I'm still young. I have more than enough time to perfect and sharpen my skills. While I know all this, it does get a little hard to keep that tiny green monster at bay. I'll keep on trying, you know?
I don't know how publishing is going to go for me. I was given an offer a while ago and recently my work and bio had subsequently been removed from the site without any notice. It's very frustrating and kind of unprofessional but no matter. I suppose that these things aren't always meant to be. And maybe I'm just reading things the wrong way or overanalyzing (like I tend to do ALL the time). Truthfully, I haven't updated as I should or kept on top of things but my life has been kind of crazy and when it really boils down to it: writing will always be my favorite hobby but my life and getting things in order will always come first.
Anywho, basically all I'm saying is...give me some time. I haven't forgotten about you guys. I just...things have really been hard for me. But I'm back now and I promise to stay around for awhile.
I mean, it is clearly my responsibility to bring music and wonderment. (LOL, I sound so freaking narcissistic right there).
So, I'm gonna post a playlist of songs I've been listening to lately. These little numbers have been helping get my thoughts down on paper (or Word, whatever) and been keeping me sane. I'm almost finished with Always and Never. I decided to revamp it, as it needed to be longer and a lot more detailed. It should be up in a few.
As always, take care until next time!
Rock on!

Country Roads and other Goodies
Hey guys!
Thanks for all the comments and feedback. I'm so glad you guys are feeling the blog idea. It really is the best way for me to update you on the happenings with my writings and my ridiculously boring (I mean fascinating!) life.
This is gonna be a short one. I just recently came back from partying it up. Celebrating my West Virgina football team kickin' some Auburn ass. That's right folks. I am a WVU Mountaineer and DAMN proud. It was one of the best games I've seen in a while, and I'm not even an American football fan.
Needless to say, our Mountaineer reputation is much improved. And like most people know, we are the ULTIMATE when it comes to partying. Our motto here at WVU? Win or lose, we still booze!
Anywho, back to things. I will actually post the revised version of Used sometime soon. It's an ending that might upset people but I really believe it keeps the story intact. I got a lot of shit for the posted ending and I will agree it really was weak. It wasn't what I was planning on doing, but I got sucked into the notion of happily ever after. And sometimes that won't always be the case, you know?
So yeah. I'll be posting a playlist soon. It's just a bunch of songs that I'm into.
Oh, and this is new. I'm also giving up the cast pictures for my new story. I normally don't write my pieces with specific actors in mind. But the personalities and looks definitely coincide.
The cast for Always and Never:
The Guy
The Girl
Hotness, right? I know. Catch you guys later. Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!

Always and Never
Here's an excerpt from my latest short story Always and Never. I am nearly finished the rewrite and I'll be submitting it to LitE in a few days.
"I see you," he said quietly. Her body pulsed hungrily at the sound of his voice, the timbre so low and masculine. The man simply smoldered. He had the power to soak her panties with just a few words. Another reason to stick around.
She was silent; a small part of her hoped if she was quiet enough he would hang up, giving her the leverage to leave.
But she knew that wasn't going to happen. He wouldn't have to say a word and she would still comply. He would get what he wanted; he always did.
"Why are you sitting in the car? Come in here."
She could hear his breath catch in his throat. He was already stroking himself. He loved to do that while on the phone with her. The rare times he called her at work, she would imagine him seated in his high-rise office, pants undone, a ragged breath coming out slight and sharp as he fondled his balls and whispered for her to tell him what she planned to do to him the next time they were together.
.....
"Baby," she heard him moan and her hips rocked involuntarily at the sound. Traitorous body. "Come inside please. Don't make me beg."
She could hear the slight edge in his soft words. It was all an act. He would make her pay, this she knew. His love came like a two-sided coin: soft and sensuous, rough and deep.
She loved it all.
Yes, despite everything she loved the way he treated her. It made her feel like those college nights all over again, when she drove around at three in the morning with her friends, Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World blaring through the speakers of her Jeep Cherokee. Those nights, with nothing but burger wrappers, endless cups of cappuccino, digital cameras, and best friends...those nights she felt reckless and wanton.
That same feeling, that realization of knowing she was alive, here and now, she felt the same way when she was with him. Those few hours she spent writhing underneath him as he ripped furious pleasure from her body meant so much to her.
She would give in.
She always did.
Hope you enjoyed that! Lots of other goodies in store.
Rock on!

Oh Snap!
So, I finally broke down and decided to create a blog.
Actually the real deal is I have to design a blog for one of my graduate classes and I thought "well I should totally make one devoted to my writings."
Well, here it is. I'm going to try and update frequently. I say frequently and not daily because really, who the hell is that interested in my life?
I will also try and post my stories on here before I do so at Lit, so you lucky ducks who actually have the misfortune (cough, I mean extreme pleasure) of reading my fabulous musings can actually get a special treat. I promise to be exciting and an absolute blastey blast.
There will be discussions about music, new bands and songs that I like or just can't stand, movies I'm pumped for, guys I would seriously bone, and of course spankable hot erotica!
Haha, so thanks for sticking around. It's gonna be sweet.
P.S. I'm working on fixing this ridic template. It is so not me. I need it dark, with a lil' bit of that spice.
Rock on!
