A day of roller coaster emotions was Monday.In other words, yesterday I was all woman.
Had a massive LC from me and Klo's Sunday drink-wine-a-thon at the bush bar dive in Craighall. Next time we'll do it on Saturday. Or maybe in a venue where gerry attrick barflies aren't hunched over the bar counter.
But I also received some wonderful news concerning my book. It's going to be out at Christmas time. Officially. Word. That alone made me emotional. It's going to be a surreal journey methinks. But I think I am ready and prepared for what could come of it. It's already been one helluva journey, and I'm a little terrified and completely excited at the same time.
I went out with My Friend for a celebratory tomato juice.
On the short story front, I am part of Tales With A Twist.
It's a short story competition, involving 6 female writers – and I am very privileged and honoured to be one of them.
Each week, the stories unfold in five parts, with a major twist at the end. Mine hasn't been put live yet, but I'll definitely let you know when it is. If you like my story, I'd be most grateful if you popped me a vote. Winners are chosen by the public.(More here)
So, in the event you do like my Twisty Tale, and you're feeling generous with the left click on your mouse, send one my way.
Again, if you strolled up to me in a bar/the supermarket/a parking lot/at an off license, and said “Peas, I voted for you,” I'll personally kiss your feet. Even if people are watching. And if that's your thing, of course.
Right, self story promotion over. For now.
I've booked the sex toy lady for Friday. All she needs is a table, she says. All we need are some classy cosmopolitans. And Safe Cab.
Doc arrives back from a two month sojourn in the States this week. I'm so excited. I haven't seen my pal in so long, and I have really missed his mug around. He's gonna love what I've done with the Bollywoods.
And a franulum is the thing that attaches your tongue to the bottom of your face.

What if the person that voted for you has hairy toes?
Or what if toes isn't his / her thing? What if his / her thing is:
a) That lovely part of the foot in between the the two middle toes?
b) Sweaty belly button
c) Hairy armpit (Sweaty)
d) Rated 18SL
:-)
Hmmmmmm.
Anyway, congrats on your book - that's awesome news! Must be a very excited young lass?
I've been to the bushveld. Twice actually. You'll notice it's proximity to the suit-hire place... It's quite the de-stress-venue when you've been to a fitting for your best mates wedding. SHO!
Nothing like a pint in the bushveld to do away with those my-best-mate-is-getting-married-oh-my-God-what-does-this-mean-am-I-getting-old-am-I-next-am-I-ready-for-marriage vibe!
Especially when you see those married gerry attricks on their 5th pint at 11:00 in the morn.
Yummy.
tyrone - why hello there my dear!
OK in answer to your questions:
1) Hairy toes: would they actually take their shoes off in a parking lot?
a, b, c & d: yeah, you've got me. It all depends how amazingly hot that person is. And if I'm feeling whimsical. Or had too much red wine. ;)
Thanks about the book - I am terribly excited! :)
Yip and the Bushveld is right next to that Tobs place. I've actually hired something from there myself.But HELL it's a stereotype if you've ever seen one, innit? Barflies at 11:00am...Klo and I promised each other we would never let each other marry one of these men.
Not that this should be a promise, because it won't happen in a million years. Pretty scary.
True, it is a good word and unlike "scrotum", you hardly ever get to use it in polite conversation.
But Kyk, the word 'scrotum' makes my franulum tingle.
Oh come on Peas. You know you think they're hot. Just think about the smell of stale beer breath you could have every evening.
Or you could look at it this way - you won't have to see them much or do much with them so you could have a young toy boy to keep you entertained while you spend 11am-cliche's money.
Anyway, frenulum, scrotum... Vajanus?
Oh, and I'm sure we've all taken off a few things in parking lots before?
And what's this about whimsical-Peas?
tyrone, hahahah :)
Even if I was at my most desperate, I'd like to think I still have standards. Of some sorts. Doesn't that make me...whimsical?
Or is it...frigid?
Vajanus? Good God! hahah
so so proud of you, my lovely friend!
