Thanks to y'all who read and voted! Congratulations to Ashleigh and Emilia for their top places and to everyone who was biting at our asses. To my shame I have to catch up on my contest reading, something I'll do soon. It's good to be back in the thick of things.
Happy Birthday, sexy Candy Girl! Here's wishing you hot and sexy times. HUGE HUG, Jake ;)
Ash, your birthday is on Groundhog Day!!! Does that mean you'll be celebrating over and over and over again?????
Good work, Alan. Always healthy to laugh at our own pain...
Happy Birthday, Gem!!!!!!!!!
Hope you're having a great day.

The masturbation scene(s) in The Secretary - James Spader while looking at Maggie Gyllenhaal's ass, then her alone in the toilet cubicle after. Sensationally hot.
Not where I work. That would just be a BAAAAAAAD idea.
Got to second Dancing Doll's 'Casting Couch' recommendation. Mia_Erotica is a favourite writer of mine. Deserves way more exposure here on Lush. Can't find it right now, so here's her link to another, equally good:
The red beans and rice I just ate. While watching The Book of Eli, which was a pretty damn good movie.
Kitchen table of a Saturday/Sunday morning.
Jogging bottoms, hoodie, slippers. Damn. There goes the mystery.
Florence and the Machine - Drumming Song
If it is, then we're every last one of us cheaters.
Half-term holiday. Ohhhhhhhhhhh yes.
Was having very rude and inventive phone sex with a friend several years ago. She suggested I turn one of my more inventive scenarios into a story, so I did. Got a taste for it. Like Damon above, I found it easier to write to my own fantasies than to find stories which dealt with them sufficiently well. Oh yes - and then the writing aspect began to get its claws into me...
Couldn't do it, Doll. I've spent too much time earning from jobs I hate. I could write to spec if it inspired me, but ain't no one gonna make me force it out when it constipates me. Now there's a disagreeable metaphor.
Good news. Although I'm anticipating Elbow's new one even more.
Peddling stories (well, giving them away), trying to build up a readership.
Interacting with other writers and readers with an opinion. All the damn fun that's available.
uninterested and disinterested
although maybe the evolution of the English language is merging them?
goddam, screw that - not going to let it happen!!!
I'm rubbish, I know. A whole day late. Happy Birthday, Dancing Doll. Hope you had a great one. Jake
Guys,
What can I say? I was out partying and spent the greater part of today at a friend's place in recovery. Who'd've thought chilli would be good for that???
I've just got home to find a Lush forum birthday thread in my honour - how damn perfect. Thanks to Anastasia for kicking it off and to everyone else for adding the good wishes, cake and song. I feel inspired to write more...
Birthday kisses all round, even for Dirty Martini (the artist formerly known as Exacta),
Jake
