I Keep Trying to Get Out...
...and they keep pulling me back in. So I gave a friend (who's always been very supportive of my writing) my website address because he wanted to see what I've been working on lately. Gulp. Okay, first of all, he's never watched anything from the Buffy 'verse and I tried to explain that he wouldn't get it. He insisted, and I'm never one to turn down fb, so I acquiesed. He's a gay man, so I figured some of the slash might intrigue.
He thought my little vignette Hair Like Chinese Silk was charming, but basically said, "Sue, why are you wasting your time with this? We've been telling you for years that you have the ability to make this a career, and you're never going to do that sitting around at 30 (I'm 33, so that was nice) writing stories about monsters." (Seemed to work okay for Joss...) So basically his thought process was "all this effort - nothing to show for it." Hey, I resent that - I've had squees aplenty!
It just kind of pulled me out of the B-verse and back into RL, which isn't always of the good. I've also been exploring aspects of my (former) RL, writing up a fic for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
nashmaveric . She wanted gay cowboys, so I dug my George Strait box set out and I've been stalking members of the IGRA (International Gay Rodeo Association) for tips. My first human AU, Angel/Xander will be roping its way toward you soon. So, country roads are taking me home, but things are not quite as I remember - hee! Please join me as I waste my time. Sorry, that'll be burnin' my ass for the rest of the night.

Ok, 1st, no leaving the 'verse.
2nd, no leaving the 'verse!
3rd, this is something you do for fun, it's something that matters to you (and all of us), it's a hobby, y'know. How can someone basically tell you your hobby is a waste of time?
4th, no leaving the 'verse!!
Human AUs are a lot of fun and as your beta may I just say, "Gay cowboys!!"

I should be put down with big bullets.
HOBBY!! That's RIGHT. It IS a fun way to fill time and enjoy yourself. I was forgetting that bit what with everyone coming up with rules and why and why nots, and no AUs.
But they better not touch my Gay Cowboys. Sue, make one of the gay cowboys whip out his cock and yell "take a holt!" Bwah ha ha!!! Bull riding is HOTTXXX!! The extra Ts and Xs are for the extremely large cocks on the bulls. How those roosters got up there is beyond me...

GROVEL BNF!!!! I think this is one of those times I should back away from my computer.
*door shuts*

Hee!! First crush!!
Re: I should be put down with big bullets.
Oh and BNF? I had to look it up, I was reading a thread and they all kept writing that. I was like, "WTF is BNF?" I am the google search queen, I will find anything. -booming voice-

I was feeling nostalgic, so I made me some new icons. . .
First love

Caught between a hard hard place and a rock
You've pulled me out of my country-western purgatory! Yay, you! I went to see Rick a few years ago at our local amusement park. I made Caza go with. He was bored. He ate like, 4 corndogs and rode rides solo while I indulged my inner 12 year old. There were chicks there with scrapbooks of Rick (ah, pre-internet fandom!) and he was cracking me up, reading the quotes of some his old interviews with stuff like, "Acting is a current passion, but music is what really sets my soul on fire." And then he would say: "I never fucking said that!" My friend Neil's band got to play with him once and I asked how he looked and Neil said, "Sue - that man will be damn good looking corpse." *sigh*
Re: First love
It was appropriate that I took her with me, cause she didn't get to go the first time I saw him in concert! I was living in Phoenix, Az. at the time, and he was scheduled to play at the Az. State Fair on Oct. 24, so I immediately rushed out to get tickets. I was pregnant with her at the time, and when I found out my due date was Oct. 24th, I was really bummed! But Elena was very cooperative, and decided to make her appearance Oct. 5th, so 2 1/2 weeks later, we left her with my mother-in-law and went to see my Rick! And if that's not dedication, I don't know what is! Two hours on a bench with an episiotomy! Only for Rick!
