Holy crap Wren. You made me laugh out loud in my office.
Tam – Thank you. Sweeter words were never spoken.
*supremely happy dolphin smile of joy*

Because none of them have anyting to do with each other, and that just makes it more fun 🙂

The best part about this is I keep seeing messages in my inbox that Mia Watts is going down.
And all I can think is, when's it gonna be my turn? I've been going down ALL DAY. My lips burn.
Wren… I see your mockery and raise it one! (wait. I think that came out wrong)
@EH. Poor, poor Brian. Has he been going down all day too?
Wait…wha….mockery? Which mockery would that be?
I am always sincere. Even when I'm lying.
veri word: boxyzami. Doesn't that sound like a magic word? Like abracadabra but not really? *wavesmagicwand* Boxyzami! You are now young and beautiful!
Bozyzami! Shazam! Abracadabra!
Yes. I like it.
Oh, my veri is repsyles. Like reptiles, but more sibilant.
Boxyzami sounds more origami out of boxes to me. Most likely condom boxes in this case given that Mia's attempting to set a new world record.
Mia, my knees and jaw are aching in sympathy, hun.
Jaime: “And it barely even left a scar…”
Damn. I really am losing my touch. *poutmope*

And I'm not even gonna look up skin implant.
OMG I just looked it up.
I hate myself now. But I hate you more.
Jaime: “And it barely even left a scar…”
Damn. I really am losing my touch. *poutmope*
Don't be sad, Kris. It's tough to hurt me when I'm a masochist when it comes to all things writing 😀
JenB: Har. Har. Made you look. 😛
Jaime: Phew. I'm so relieved that it's not me, but you. 😉

Jaime: Phew. I'm so relieved that it's not me, but you. 😉
Yes, Kris. It's not you, it's me ;P
I fnd it odd you don't have volunteers lining up for this challenge, but I'm odd that way…
Jaime: All true. It's definitely you, authors are weird not to be contacting me about this awesome challenge and, yes, you're odd.
Kiss, kiss.
