Not My Brightest Moment

[teddy_radiator]

Ashwinder posted the latest chapter of Lay Me Low (Chapter 12) and I'm ever increasingly grateful to my alpha and betas for getting me to the point where I only had five cavities on this (compared to the 40 I had on TPP for As Morning Falls Chapter 4 - lack of beta, anyone?).

I am still reeling from Sempra's stunning artwork for Chapter 10 and Chapter 11. She has done illustrations for Chapters 2 and 3 as well, and I'm just blown away by her, as always. I often say that our Muses are drinking buddies.

I posted a poem to LJ_Scribe yesterday, but just as I sent it off, I realised it was not an automatic posting, and was subject to the moderator's discretion whether or not it would be posted. It hasn't been, so I guess I didn't make the cut, but the dumb thing is that I wrote it on the posting - I have no other copy of it.

I know, dumb as a very dumb thing. I've written to the mod and asked if she would send it back to me, but if she doesn't, serves me right. I can be such a dope at times. At times, I'm amazed my birth certificate has finished printing.

I'm a little envious! It's obvious I missed out on all the fun, religion-wise. My stepkids were raised Catholic - I'll live vicariously while they're here..

I grew up in the Southern Baptist church, and the only thing we could rebelliously do was enjoy drinking secretly, clearing our throats with authority and dancing (we SC Baptists believe that when David danced before the Lord, he was probably doing The Shag.). Other than that, we were expected to be good (which meant don't get caught).

As I recall, it was David's shagging that caused so much trouble!

Dancing can be so sexy!!!!

Dancing is merely foreplay performed in a vertical position... with one's clothes on... in public.

At least, when it's done right, it is. When I dance, people think I'm having a seizure. They descend upon me in an effort to keep me from swallowing my tongue. Which is silly, because it's my partner's tongue that I'm usually trying to swallow!

Naughty, naughty Mimi! I've heard it called the vertical manifestation of horizontal intent!

The Hubs does the 80's-Adam-Ant dance. I tend to do the Southern-girl-not-quite-drunk-enough-to-take-off-her-shirt-and-climb-up-on-the-table daintz.
