b) one likes to hang out with his mother, much to her consternation

Hey everyone! Thanks for playing… and for liking my choices. LOL.
Mia: “lutefisk?? Seriously?”
Yeah. I recently heard about it and knew I had to include it in the prompts.
And would you stop talking about having fun already! This is the part where you're meant to be stressing. The admitting that you had fun comes later.
Geez.
Kris, you must be losing your touch.
*sociopathic rainbow trout stare of death*

Gros Bisou,

More people who want to be mean to Mia. *rubs hands together* Eggscellent.
Jambrea, don't get too gleeful. If I recall rightly we volunteered you next for the challenge.
Y'know, Bron's a writer, too. We just need to get her to drink the m/m koolaid…
Oh dear, what an inauspicious veri word: menseses… when plain old menses aren't bad enough. 😦
Um…I was? Ahhh…
lol
Chris: “Y'know, Bron's a writer, too. We just need to get her to drink the m/m koolaid…”
Really?? This challenge would be a good start. The setting could be a gay porno.
Jambrea: Yep. Like Santa, I have a list.
After you it's:
Matthew
Stephani
Bronwyn
I'm pretty sure that some of them actually know this.
Um, won't Bron be surprised… er…
I have butterflies in my tummy and my knees are shaking! lol
Um…bring it…on? heehee
Chris: I'm sure she will be especially thrilled… with you.
Jambrea; You have about 5 weeks to suck it up, hun. LOL.
I'm hoping Mia shows up at her door with gay pr0n to prep her for her writing assignment. Eep.
Hmm. I think this word veri translates to “outlook cloudy” in Magic 8-Ball terms: mines… as in the field I'm navigating?!
Chris…why do you hate me?
I didn't even get to try the koolaid *sniff*
*pats Bronwyn* There, there. *glares at Chris* She picks on me, too. Granted not to this scale, but still…
*ahem* You'll note that Kris neatly side-stepped that I mentioned you were a writer and she signed you right on up for the program. *ahem*
I feel I've become a part of perhaps the most bizarre conspiracy ever…I feel that in addition to the Chris/Kris combo, I should also blame Mia.
You'll get used to it. Just a regular old day in the comments at Kris'n'Good Books.
Oh, and collectively we're Khris. 🙂
Resistance is futile.
I'm all for blaming Mia. She's not around anyways.
I'm terrified to see what my choices are going to be. Chris *knows* stuff.
I'm really forgetful, though. Well, except about the spiders. 😉
*gasp*
Bronwyn, are you suggesting that I would actually contact an author's friends to ask them about things that author hated and deliberately put them in as story prompts?
Why that would be evil!
Hmmm… Khris…isn't that a character in one of J. R. Ward's books? Lover Unhinged, maybe.
Bronwyn, never fear! Once you write a choose your own m/m story, you belong to a very elite club. Whose member are still waiting for their damn button!
I'm so confused. I thought you were waiting for the personalized underwear?
@ Kris – I sure you couldn't possibly be that cruel. *hopes no one heard her snort*
@ Chris – Noooooo…not spiders – not Satan's snowflakes!!!!
@ Wren – a button you say? I do enjoy shiny things. 🙂
I think I need to name a character Khris…an eeeeeeeevil character. 😉
What? I'm meant to sign my undies and sign it to them now? Geezus, Wren.
Bronwyn, don't be embarassed about your snorting. I've noticed that a number of people who frequent this blog have that particular habit. Maybe it's a northern hemisphere thing.
Good God, Kris. I do not want your underwear. That's Chris. Jeebuz.
Bronwyn – not a shiny button. A widget button. For to use on your blog or website or what have you.
So, it's Chris who wants my underwear?? Weird.
I'll leave you guys to continue to hog Mia's post discussing the buttons that will never happen. I'm off to have a boozy lunch with the Mumma.
Re: Snorts– totally northern. It's a direct result of cold weather, allergies, and trying to keep the nostrils in antifreeze.
Trout stare–holy hell woman! put that thing away. It's glassy eyed and freaky. *shiver*
Kris-Bron totally hates Satan's snowflakes… and creepy-assed clowns. Just contact me. Payback is a bitch, Bron. 😉
Bowchicka wow wow!!! Bring on the magical mysterious koolaid of male pr0n for Bron. I haz it. Iz fur u!
So, I disappear to another late night conference and what do I return to??? You guys are just like the men at the hotel ballroom…. it's late and they want a piece of my ass before the climb off to bed. DUDE!!! Mean is on the Karma wheel, remember??
