Fiction Series: for those that have inquired
Seems there was a bit of confusion because of my layout, about the fiction series. For those of you interested in reading it, and contributing your comments, Entry one can be found HERE, and entry two penned by me, can be found HERE. The loose and nondescriptive title for this series is The Letter Project, and can be found on the sidebars of both of our sites. Episode three will be posted later in the week over at Al's blog. Thank you for your patience, and happy reading.
Mean Gurls (overheard at SideTracks)
I sit, dumbstruck, as I listen to their conversation.
Unavoidable decibels assailing my ears as I occupy the stall.
"OH Puleeze mary! Can you believe they hooked up? I mean, really! How long have they known one another, like five minutes?"
"Oh my god! I KNOW!"
"Did you see what he was wearing? It's like LL Bean and J Crew had incestual relations and birthed a drooling child!"
"Ha Ha!" Chortle, giggle, gasp
"You are SOooo MEAN! Its why I love you!"
"I'm not being mean, bitch! I'm just stating the obvious. I mean cargo pants with Timberland boots, a golf shirt, and flannel? Is he trying to channel Rosie O?"
"You are so right."
"And let's not forget Mr. legend in his own mind, was that a jersey???"
"mmm hmm."
"They deserve each other. I mean, GOD! He hasn't even looked my way in all the time we have known each other, and in walks Butch and PRESTO"
"Exactly. Don't let it get to you. Neither one of them is worth our time!"
"Well, you know butch has a lover, right? For like twenty years or some shit? Wonder what he thinks about all this"
"They have an open relationship, from what I've been told..." (giggle)
"Yeah gurl, like a fucking Seven Eleven!"
"Oh stop it! I can't breathe! Don't make my laugh lines deeper, bitch, I'm trying to get laid!"
"Oh, please Mary, neither one of us is ever going to get laid. We aren't good enough!"
"Me-ooow. Retract those claws sunshine."
"I'm getting out of here. I refuse to engage. Besides I need to work on my webpage."
"Yawn! Why don't you just permanantly detach your penis and lock it in a drawer?"
"Might as well, for all the pleasure its provided lately."
I hear them air kiss and exit the bathroom.
I stare at my buckskin, timberland boots and shake my head.
Episode 2
In an exception to our one post a week rule, We have decided to offer up both episodes as an introduction during this first week of the Letter Project. You can read the second episode this evening, here at Tater, and episode three will follow next Thursday or Friday at BlueAlto. Hope you enjoy, and wish you all a pleas-s-s-sant weekend...
It's up!
The first episode is currently posted HERE. Happy reading, and stay tuned for part two, it may just appear sooner than you think...
The Letters Project
SO, by way of publicly answering several emails at once, we plan on launching our fiction series a little sooner than we intended. We appreciate the positive feedback, and look forward to hearing from you in the comments sections of our respective blogs. AL will be posting the introduction on his site tomorrow, and we will begin the back and forth storytelling between both blogs. I will post a link to the series in the side bar -------------->
for your convenience.
Before anyone decides to ask, infer, or imply anything gossipy, the two of us are friends living in different countries, are not engaged in an illicit affair, a whirlwind romance, or anything salacious or worthy of tongue wagging. We are good friends who enjoy writing, and as it turns out, work well together--
"what was that? I'm in the middle of something baby, can it wait? I'm too tired, and you have to catch your plane back to Toronto. Seriously! No! ....Well how I can I refuse you that. Just let me finish typing this entry and we can-"
So please allow the fiction to remain on the blog and not in the blogosphere.... :)
