Blog Flog: An fun filled day in House O'Laurell

Friday night was dinner at a nice restaurant with our friend Richard.

Their.. "Friend" *Dr. Evil quotation marks*

We did some of what you think we'd be doing, thank you

Braiding his hair and adding little ribbons?

...Wait.

Does she...?

...

........OH GOD D= WHY DID I NEED TO KNOW THAT?!

Yule; Winter Solstice; Christmas; is just around the corner, so present buying time.

...Look. Grammar has never, ever been my strong point but... what?

But what we did next was something we hadn't done in, well, ages, much longer than a month...

Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, here it comes.. *curls into fetal position*

We came back home and went to separate parts of the house and got to be alone.

Few! Oh thank you, Sweet Merciful dietyChrist.

Just me, the dogs, a fire in the fireplace, a cup of tea, and a good book.

"Yes. Hi? Hello, Ms. Hamilton? Ah yes, hi. This is Clara McCliche calling in from The Cliche And You, just to let you know your cliche useage for the month has exceeded your limit. Mhm, well, if you don't stop, we'll have to cut your Cliche And I magazine subscription...."

It was a rousing book, made me gasp, made me laugh out loud, and the fact that it is his first novel ever, makes me have high hopes for the next book, which I have already.

WELL! He can sleep now, knowing that it gets your approval!

I do love a man who's domestic.

In her grandiose aspirations for equality, its the man that's barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

We watched the first episode of a British television series that we'd bought but not had time to watch.

OH THANK GOD I thought she was going to say Dr. Who

After an hour of television we turned off the boob tube, and we both read, different books.

Penthouse and Where's Waldo. Naw, Laurell. Here we were thinking you read out loud to him. No, really! We did think that!

We both finished our respective books, with the dogs curled around us, and now it's time for bed.

Riveting.

I think sometimes I get so focused on everything that has to be done, that I forget to do some things that never have to be done, but if you never do them, it hurts your heart, your soul, and your mind.

Now let's try reading that in Mojojojo voice.

a fire in the fireplace

Best place for a fire, I always say. Well, at least it wasn't the raging fire of the arduer burning, burning up inside her like only fire can do, only it was the kind of hot fire you get when a man looks in your eyes and you know he's got the same fire and he's going to lay some sexual smackdown on your ass.

Damn it all. No fires on the couch? Or in the beds? How about a bonfire spewing forth from the oven?

(Said offspring of LKH would hopefully be elsewhere with normal family members if any of said fires actually happened.) *is nice*

NUUU! Laurell, you stay away from McCallum!!! *shakes fist* You keep your greasy paws off of John Hannah, too!

*rocks back and forth* She's tainting all that I love and hold most dear.

Also, dude, she asks us not to speculate on her sex life and then procedes to give us regular updates? WTF? *headdesk*

[catskin.livejournal.com]

It's the best kind of smackdown!

[delphinapterus.livejournal.com]

Why is it that her writing sounds like it should be read in the voice of a hyped-up 13 year old who giggles alot?

*puts on cheesy 70s pr0n music*

wacka-chikow-wacka-cikow

But don't you feel so much better now you know she has sex with a real person?

Oh, wait... No, of course you don't.

Now I can imagine Jon saying in a Pinocchio voice, "I'm a REAL BOY now!" *jumps around*

I kinda wish I didn't have that in my head.

[catskin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my bad.

*offers apology pie*

[dwg.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Pie.

All is forgiven with pie.

I love your icon, do you have it bigger? And might I borrow?

[dracoliciousss.livejournal.com]

i'm SO mad that she likes McCallum! She ruins everything

[ravenhaley.livejournal.com]

Went to our favorite metaphysical store

Is that short for saying they are swingers?

For those of us a little slow on the innuendo front (mine moves like glaciers) who is Richard and what is that post implying? Feel free to be as vague as possible.

[dwg.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! *stomps on Gotham, destorys* Dammit! I really love McCallum! I'm savin' up for it on dvd because at last it's out and I've been on the hunt for this for...years.

Just...NUUU, LKH, geta way from the things I love!

I have a friend who doesn't like to read fiction but does like stories and doesn't really like television. I've tried turning her onto books on tape. And she seems to enjoy just having the story told -to- her.

However, if I write a story - she'll read it. And she makes time to try and keep up with me via my journal; even if she has to read a chunk once a month. I have never taken that quiet compliment as seriously and awe inspiring as I should. But I will now.

'Cause damn, LKH, there are ways to write about your ordinary day that makes it come across as a story to be shared. Your way is not it.

You're welcome to borrow! I found it at spikeythorn so don't have a bigger version :(

[colddaye.livejournal.com]

Good Lord. Thanks for the Richard clarification, and my mind was in the gutter in that one. Reading only the flog, I kind of thought she had her threesome in full...swing.

And HA! I was wondering why she felt the need to state that no one can ask if they can be their third - like what kind of fanbase brings that up out of the blue? But now I see she sort of let it out probably in the hopes people would "volunteer". a.) I've been a little out of the loop and b.) that's all kinds of sad.

Thank you for that LKH horror in a nutshell!
