Night
Let’s start the day off with a hug… and I’m endng mine because it’s time to go to bed. Night all.
G-Dragon: Crooked and the lyrics.
Because I’d gotten asked 😀 The lyrics and the original video.
Nothing ever lasts forever
In the end, you changed
There is no reason,
no sincerity. Take away
such a thing as love
Tonight, I’ll be crooked
Leave me alone
I was alone anyway
I have no one, everything
is meaningless. Take away the
sugar-coated comfort
Tonight, I’ll be crooked
I scream and get dizzy
I vent out of boredom
to other couples
I start fights for no reason
like a town gangster
Sometimes, I purposely
shake my leg, crookedly
The main characters
of the movie
called this world is you and me
A lonely island,
lost and wandering
The empty streets are
filled with those who are alone
Unlike my heart,
the weather is so damn nice
I used to believe in you
alone and I was happy
But like a joke, I am left alone
You used to promise me
with your pinky finger
But in the end
Nothing ever lasts forever
In the end, you changed
There is no reason,
no sincerity. Take away
such a thing as love
Tonight, I’ll be crooked
Leave me alone
I was alone anyway
I have no one, everything
is meaningless. Take away the
sugar-coated comfort
Tonight, I’ll be crooked
I’ll put on thick eyeliner,
use a whole can of hairspray
Leather pants, leather jacket with
a frown. I want to hide my pain
and become even more crooked
So you can feel sorry,
I’ll spit toward the sky
You’re scared of my crude
words and my rough eyes
But actually, I’m afraid,
I want to go back but
I have nowhere to go
I want to love but no one to love,
what am I supposed to do?
I can’t turn it back
I used to believe in you
alone and I was happy
But like a joke, I am left alone
You used to promise me
with your pinky finger
But in the end
Nothing ever lasts forever
In the end, you changed
There is no reason,
no sincerity. Take away
such a thing as love
Tonight, I’ll be crooked
Leave me alone
I was alone anyway
I have no one, everything
is meaningless. Take away the
sugar-coated comfort
Tonight, I’ll be crooked
Will you not say anything
for me tonight?
I didn’t know being alone would
be this hard
(I miss you)
Will you be my friend tonight?
On this good day,
this beautiful day,
this day where I miss you
Tonight, I’ll be crooked
Dayum. G-Dragon…..
God I adore this boy.
Drops a Bit of Dirty Deeds
“Hey, not like it didn’t already take a beating earlier. And I’m not talking about the old lady.” I waggled my eyebrows. There were parts of my back that stung when I’d peeled myself off the bed to get him water. Jae’s nails were sharp despite being cut short or maybe he ran them over sandpaper to hone them for diamond cutting because there were times I looked like I’d been lashed by a cat-o-nine-tails. “Come here.”
He slid up my body, willing this time for my arms to wrap around his waist. Resting his cheek on my chest, he inhaled sharply then relaxed, forcing the tension from his body. It took a minute or so but eventually his limbs went slack and his long lashes flickered downwards as sleep flirted with his consciousness.
“You have to remember, I love you. All of you. I know you’re not going to walk away from me.” I squeezed him. “Just like you know I won’t walk away from you.”
“You didn’t.” He muttered softly. “You should have ran after her.”
And now for something completely different….
“Not with you lying there. Not with your blood on me.”
“I would have been okay.” His shoulders wiggled as he snuggled down against me. “Not even anything critical was hit.”
“I didn’t know that. And besides, everything about you is critical. I’d have stayed with you if she’d given you a paper cut.”
Spell Block Tango
He had it coming!
Strength
Are we strong enough as individuals to shield the body of someone who hates us when they are being beaten?
This young woman was…and probably still is. I hope none of us are ever in that position but would we find ourselves to be, may we find this strength.

Quack or Treat.
Every year we try to give out either full candy bars or something interesting. Let’s face it. It’s not Halloween unless the kids are sugared up and making noise when they leave our house.
The neighbourhood parents HATE us. The kids however have a different opinion.
There are kids out there who have allergies–who are diabetic–who can’t really do the whole sugar thing–so we try to make sure they have as great a Halloween as any other kid.
This year, it’s gonna be rubber duckies. All kinds of rubber duckies. And they’ll get to choose. I might even give away two per kid. We’ll get a wave of teens later in the evening. Usually around 10 or so. I give them stuff too. I’ve seen them grow up. They come to our house because they know they’re welcome.
So… if you’re in our neighbourhood and your kid gets a squeaking rubber duck… or a pirate duck… or a dino duck, you’ll know I live around the area.
And yeah, you can totally ask for a duck for your sibling who is too young to do the rounds or the one who is just a bit too old and too cool but would want a duck anyway.
‘Cause you know… it’s the season.
mmmmmmmmmmm
Jae. mmmmmmmm
Catchup and Fried
As many of you have heard me whining, I’m sick. No really. I’m like husband-sick. I want someone to blow my nose for me. I am never like this. Usually I’m all.. crawl into my cave and growl at the light. What the hell?
So… screw it, time to man up and get some work done.
I have an official release date for Fish and Ghosts. It is December 30th! So, please keep me in mind as you load up your new ebook readers and use your gift cards. Heh.
Okay honestly, there’s a few others coming out that time that I gotta tell you about… for example… Amy Lane and Mary Calmes BOTH have novella releases on Christmas Day. Dudes. DUDES! That’s like the spooge dual mental bukake of reading. How can the world get any better. So watch Dreamspinner for those releases.
In other news, I’m going to be wrapping up Dirty Deeds.. which I am so debating changing the name of since someone else is using that name about the same time. But ah, I’ve been calling it Dirty Deeds forever. Opinions? State them now, oh readers.
After that, it is time for Tequila Mockingbird. I’m getting a bunch of scenes plotted out in my head so…. Wooooooot. *grins*
Let’s see, what else… OH! Clockwork Tangerine has a cover. This is a novella due out in Spring 2014. A steampunkish thing. Alternative Universe where the British Empire never lost the colonies and the Arcane and Science are battling it out for world domination.
I also have an urban fantasy in editing. Name yet shaky. It’s originally called the Four. We’ll see how that works out. *grins*
GRL was a fricking blast. I am awestruck by the wonderful people in our Tribe. Really. You all just fricking rock.
I’ll be at Bent Con in Burbank. That’ll be Nov 7 weekend. Cheeks from Husbands is going to be there. So excited to see him. Same with Jane E. who is the other half of the brilliance. That’ll be fun. Dreamspinner Press will be there as well. With a lot of authors. Stop on by if you’ve got the time and in the area.
I’ll be releasing back stage passes out into the wild soon. Now that I’m back from GRL and almost done with the plague… I can get my crap together! WOOOOOT for togethered-crap!
Lastly, Amy Lane has a shop open where you can get Johnnies or Amy Lane Dragon merchandise. If she’s one of your faves, go take a look! http://www.cafepress.com/amylane
Back to work now! What’s up with all of you?
