A Very Heavy Thank You

Blogs written in this font are probably meant to be avoided by most people.

I need to say thank you to a lot of people.

But tonight? Thank you to the 7 (and it seems that count is growing) to the people that have pointed something out to me. I appreciate it even though it is so upsetting. And those that know what I'm talking about... will know what I'm talking about. Those that don't, really don't need to know. You can ask though. I'll probably tell you anyway.

I should just put it on blast here, but I won't. I'll refrain and I'll get over it. 

Because not only is it just an all around shit storm going on but it's unoriginal. So unoriginal, in fact, that it's taken from my life. MY life. I've lived it. Had those exact words, on many occasions, fall out of my mouth. 

Which, I guess is flattering. I'm a heroine. I'm likable. I'm someone that people want to immortalize? I don't know. It's all just a big joke, and so are you. Really? REALLY?

You have people hanging from a thread and this is what you're going to give them. This? Predictability is definitely high. Quality is low. Also, asking what people want to happen and then making that happen isn't exactly suspenseful. That's probably why the predictability is so high.

Mind your p's and q's was just granted a whole new meaning.

Fuck I forgot about laundry.

* snippet *

I still have fans of Freaky Temptation 2 and the whole Freaky Saga, right? Do I? Or are you all overwhelmed by While The Ocean Rocked right now?

There are a few things about WTOR that have made it completely priceless to me. I laugh out loud whenever I think of those things. And smile. Lots of smiles. Hopefully this will take me into the next year being more confident about what I write and less giving a shit what other people think. We'll see.

Here's a snippet of Chapter 16 to keep some FT2 interest. :)

“You know what? Go ahead and fuck right the fuck off,” Mark said and shook free of Donnie’s grasp. “I’ll do whatever the fuck I want to her. Well, whatever Layla lets me get away with.”

Layla heard him and she nodded.

“Come taste her, Mark,” she said. “She tastes as sweet as candy.”

“She looks it,” he said as he took Layla by the hand and they walked to Kristi.

Kristi swallowed hard. She’d be lying if she said that she didn’t find Mark attractive. She always had. Even when he was portraying some fucked up heroin addict in a movie.

What the fuck was that movie? she asked herself. I’m so going to have IMDB that later.

It was amazing to her that she could still form a complete thought about something so random as IMDB but Kristi still had her wits about her. That was, until, Mark felt the contour of her body from behind her. She jumped and flinched; trying to writhe free from his touch.

“Sit still, Pet,” Layla said. “Let him do what he wants. I won’t let him go too far.”

“Can’t I buy her from you like I did the last one, Layla?” he asked.

Layla let out a sharp cackle, “I don’t think so. This one belongs to someone already. And we’re teaching her something here, okay? We’re teaching her how to love him.”

Happy Holidays, Feisty Foto Contestants

Okay, so maybe November is the wrong month to start a contest. lol :) But that was what was convenient for me.

There is no way that I'm going to be able to edit and make Freaky Temptation perfect for the winner the first two weeks of December. I'm swamped with what I want to do and other stuff that's been requested of me. I need to make certain other things perfect and continue writing what I'm writing. Yep, I have a goal and I'm not afraid to meet it. I just can't tell any of you what that goal is because I'm a secretive bitch (look up SCORPIO if you don't understand).

So, here we go. The contest isn't just extended a week. I realize that there are a lot of things in the contest that you may see upon your travels while holiday shopping. Grab that card, bitches, and head to the mall. Along your way, snap a picture.

The pictures will be due DECEMBER 31st at 11:59PM PST.

Also, you'll get a few more points if, on that day, you send me a picture of a birthday cake JUST for Joe. ;) Yes, you will get points and believe me, those points will boost your count and it will be worth your time.

The quote on the back of your card is also worth points. Mid-December I will tell you what you need to do to boost your point count using those quotes on the back.

I will have an updated score count probably tomorrow (Tuesday night) o r Wednesday night. Depending on what kind of time the children allow me. Plus, this writing thing... wow. Yeah, I have a lot of work to do, guys. You don't even know. Coming up with something super special for... well... Nikki (of WTOR fame).

So, there you have it. You have an extra fuckin' month, ladies. Do with it whatchu will. Call it whatchu want... Either way, have fun.

(My baby is clucking. I think that's a sign that I should get off the.. HOLD THE PHONE!!!

She's completely enthralled by the Josie and the Pussycats cartoon and I'm okay with this!!!!!! :) )

PHOTO CONTEST! Please read.

Out of anger/jealousy/general retardation/feistiness/being-a-Scorpio I tweeted that the photo contest was cancelled.

It's not.

Although, I have to say, I'm sad that it only had about 1/3 of the participation that I had hoped. 2/3 of the girls that expressed an interest didn't participate. At all. 

Not to bitch, but let me bitch for a second lol

I'm kind of a busy person. I like to do things for fun that I think will distract me from every day life. Every one does, right? Even though I deny it up and down, I'm a people pleaser. The more people that are having fun at my expense (whether it be time, money, whatever), the happier that I am.

I created the game to be a little bit more original than what I had thought. I was going to go with just a straight up riddle game. But I thought that making it a scavenger hunt thing was like, way cooler than just guessing riddles. So, I made the riddles easier than I was initially going to. I came up with the alias cards because I needed to know that the participant took the picture and didn't just scour the intrawebz for something that fit. 

This took... well.... time. And I loved every minute of it! I loved getting help with the quotes ( : ) ), I loved naming every one, designing the cards, even buying the materials to make them.

But, dudes!! Those cards took me a long time! A friend of mine and I sat around creating this game. And although I loved the company, it was a lot of time.

And 2/3 of the participation? For that much work? I'll always write. Ever since I started, I thought I only had one story in me. But now that I have a few going, I know that I need to finish those. I also know where I'm going to take two of the stories that I'm doing. I still don't know about ALR. It's weird and I need to really sit down, re read it and think of how I want it to go. I think we all can predict the ending but how we get there, that's the point. Even though I totally hate predictable endings.

Anyway, I'll always write but I'm not so sure that I'll ever host another contest again. Maybe it was the time of year? Maybe it was the riddles? Whatever it was, I'd like feedback as to why those that expressed interest just didn't do any of it. 

Why take the time to put up this blog? Because, personally? Yeah, I took it personally. I know that people get busy. I know that I'm being stupid and dramatic. But it took my TIME. I have kids. I work a full time job. I had people spend their time in helping me create this game. I visited several office supply stores and two WalMarts and a Target looking for what I needed. BAH! I'm being such a butthead.

Anyway, I guess... my feelings are a little hurt that it didn't generate as MUCH participation as I had hoped. BUT, every time I get a photo my Blackberry under the feistytales gmail account? I get giddy and stupid and open it IMMEDIATELY!

I'll post scores this Monday. :) I may also extend the contest a week since I know Thanksgiving can get a little hectic. :)

I love you guys and hope you don't hate me after reading this.

I've been thinking...

I love the Freaky Saga so much that... 

... I've been thinking ...

That...

Hmmm.

It may... well.

Just may....

continue.

There's a definite end to the Freaky Saga though and they will be independent stories. You won't really have to read one to read the other.

I'm sensing a new love triangle.

I'm sensing a Greek.

But I'm also thinking about a blonde.

Something is pulling me to .... uhm... 

Step 4.

Yeah. I said it.

That is all.

NaNo Update

I started posting the NaNo on the NKAFF board. If you wanted to venture over there to read it, you can.

I need to edit it. A lot. I glanced over it and there are a ton of mistakes. A ton of words I forgot since I was on a roll and typing.

That will come later. :)

I hope that those that are reading it are enjoying it. :)

Here's a preview for those that aren't reading it:

She rolled her eyes and then they transfixed on the man’s hands as he undid his pants. He had large hands. For a second she could image his hands on her; on her waist, on her thighs, on her ass.
“You gonna watch?” he asked when he noticed her staring.
“Oh my God, no!” she exclaimed. When her daydream was cut short she realized she was looking at the man holding his dick getting ready to relieve himself on a spray of tropical plants. She lifted her hands to shield her eyes, bringing Joe’s hand up with hers.
“That’s quite alright,” he smirked. “I really don’t need two hands to do this I just like to think that I do.”
She blushed and bit her lip, “You know, I wasn’t looking at-.”
“Sure you weren’t,” he teased her.
“-your, your stuff there. Or, you know, that. I wasn’t looking at that. I was looking at your- dude!”
“You were looking at my dude?” he asked, confused.
“No! I was looking at your hands! Just your hands!”
“Sure,” Joe said as he shook himself and finished up. “Need to my hand so I can zip the pants, Toots.”
She blushed even more when he kept eye contact while her hand was next to his crotch and he pulled up his zipper.
“So,” She said averting her eyes and looking into the canopy. “Something we know about you-.”
“Yep,” he said quickly. “It really is that big. That is something I can actually remember.”
“No, asshole. You’re married.”

Scores so far for photo contest

Not nearly as much participation as I expected. :( I assume the rest have completely dropped out or aren't going to participate. Such is the way with these things. Seriously. Why say you wanna play if you're not gonna! I know things come up but... damn! I put a lot of work into this. :( The cards alone took me hours plus scrambling my brain to make up rhyming clues. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!!

Remember, just the answers will get you one point for each riddle. So, pretty much, all of ya'll should have a minimum of 31 points :) If you answer something and it's wrong, don't fret! I'll respond and lead you in the right direction.

However!!! I am having LOADS of fun with the people that ARE playing! I'll post some pictures later. 

Here are the scores.

Blue Halo.........81

Cyan Storm........72

Jade..............54

Sapphire Heart....43

Honeydew Dancer...42

Blazing Flower....33

Magenta Moon......28

Midnight Fucshia...3

ETA: Sorry. I don't mean to sound all ungrateful or something. I know that all the people that wanted to participate are readers of mine and that alone makes me feel so privileged to know there are that many that wished to join. I know the intentions were/are there. I'm just having a "woe-is-me-no-body-loves-me" day. But, like I said, thank you for signing up even if you can't play. It still means that you've read and love my writing and that means the world to me :)

The difference between a DONG, DILDO and VIBRATOR

Okay, to understand the differences here, we have to go back into history a little bit.

The word DILDO has an Ancient Greek origin. So, to say that a DILDO must vibrate is, well, balls. Did they have batteries back in the day? No. Some how, among the years and years that these toys have existed, the term "DILDO" is now used to describe any type of sex toy. That's almost like calling every type of tissue a Kleenex though. Because DILDOS are dildos and DONGS are dongs. Vibrators can be used as a dildo and they can be used the way you would use a dong but they have a little bit more to them.

A DONG is a penis shaped object, most have balls and a base but some don't have to, that you insert into your body for sexual satisfaction. Some, like a double dong for example, wouldn't have balls or a base.

A DILDO is a phallic shaped toy that can be inserted into the vagina or the anus for sexual stimulation. It may or may not vibrate. However, it needs to be phallic shaped. There are some toys out there that have rabbits and shit on top of them but then the long phallic shaped shaft for insertion. These are combo toys. Obviously because, well, they do a combination of things. It's a vibrator and a dildo all in one. In short, all DONGS are DILDOS, not all DILDOS are DONGS and some DILDOS are VIBRATORS but not all VIBRATORS are DILDOS.

A VIBRATOR, however, can look like anything from a rabbit, to a dolphin, to a small bullet to a wonky shaped lumpy and bumpy beady looking thing.

For example:

This is a dong. Strictly dickly. It's a fake dick. Pretty damn simple.

This is a dildo (also could be a glass dong without balls/base)

This is a dildo. It vibrates, ya'll. See the motion? LOL So we can dub this a VIBRATOR too :)

This is a pretty dildo AND it's a vibrator. OH MY!

Again....dildo.

Dildooooh! Wait a minute. No. This is not a dildo and should never, by any means, be used as such!!

NONE of these are dildos. These are all vibrators.

My point? If it's strictly for clitoral stimulation? It's not a dildo. Don't send me a picture of a blue clit stimulator (let's face it, we all know the answer to this riddle, right? You know what one I'm talking about?) and try to pass it off as a dildo. Even if it's purely a g-spot finder, it doesn't really fit into the category as DILDO. Usually those aren't "phallic" shaped. And honestly? If you find a guy that has a dick shaped like one of those things (see that pink/light pink hoosey-whats in that picture up there that looks like a fucked up turd? that's more of a gspot/pspot pleaser), please first snap a picture. Then? Run. Because something's seriously wrong wit him.

In short, all DONGS are DILDOS, not all DILDOS are DONGS and some DILDOS are VIBRATORS but not all VIBRATORS are DILDOS.

Okay. Ya got it? You got it! :)

OH! And let's not forget a combo deal. This is a dildo and separate vibrator. And it's glorious. I know because I have one. I've seen them available on Amazon. They're by Impulse.

Feisty's Foto Contest weekly scores

So!

You guys said you wanted to play, huh? And now what? The majority of you aren't playing. Which is totally okay, I know, it's only been a week. But that's a week that's gone by with most of you not submitting anything or saying anything to me about the contest. Eh, there's still time.

However, I need to say, that there have been some awesome and funny entries for photos. And yes, I'm going to be sharing.

First order of business, the scores so far. They are as follows.

Blazing Flower....	27
Blue Halo.........	74
Cyan Storm........	22
Honeydew Dancer...	42
Midnight Fuschia..	3
Sapphire Heart....	19

Now, for the more fun part! I'm going to post some pictures that were sent in. These may give away some of the answers but in no way do I indicate which question. So, if you want to just copy these, then well, you suck. But they should be pretty obvious ones anyway. A reminder to those whose pictures I'm showing. Your alias is yours to keep a secret if you wish. Please only say "HEY, that's my picture" if you want other people to know who you are. I chose these because they're friggin' awesome. These aren't the only ones that have made me LOL though. So many have so far. Can't wait to see what else you guys cook up!!

Love the fact that Joe looks like he's enjoying himself. He's a trooper.

Although I can make better ones than these, she MADE these for the contest. :P That's dedication!

Yes. They're worth more therefore they are bigger. HAHA!

Where lube belongs... Right in the fuckin' freezer.

Every thing about this picture is awesome (scribbled out your name, btw)

#FFC Post - Yes, I'm a hardass.

Hey ladies,

A few things I want to touch bases on. Some will be clarified later when I get home as I'm at work, on break and can't type about a few subjects here.

I've received a few pictures so far, and I love it! I love that I see what people have lying around the house ;) Seems that one answer is so popular at being first! Which I'll do a brief recap after the contest is over about the way this all went down from my point of view.

If I reject a photo, please don't take it personally. Some of the items are specific items that I've written about. And it's not just in my head, guys. But perhaps there is confusion about what things are or whatever.

I'm pretty sure that people have gotten the answer to one question specifically so later, I'll post about the differences in what I'm asking and what I'm getting. So far, I haven't gotten the correct picture for that item. I'm thinking a blog post is necessary.

And remember, if you take a picture in a sex shop, you'll have to be sneaky about it. It's against most stores' policies.

If you're that hard up for a photo of an item that's in the store, perhaps you can either a) buy it and take a picture of it or b) ask "Hey, I'm doing a scavenger hunt for this item but I don't want to purchase it. Is there anyway I can just take a picture?" Sometimes asking the clerk is better than trying to be sneaky. :)

And hey, if they ask what it's for, tell them. And perhaps drop a name and probe them to see if they'd carry such literature. LOL!

More on this topic later. :) I gotta do some work today in the office.

NaNo update

I'm 10,020 words into NaNo!

Only 39, 980 to go!

Yay!

I'm finally getting to the good stuff. I'm having fun writing it. It's called While The Ocean Rocked. :)

Some misc crap

So, the riddles have been sent to the FFC participants.

I've started on the NaNo. It's sort of a slow go but it'll pick up. I hope. I'd hate to scrap it all. Of course, by NaNo rules, I just make all that white text and start all over. Those are words that I've written and should always be counted. Never not count anything that you have written for NaNo!! You wrote it? You count it. :)

For those of you receiving the NaNo:

Last year I did minimal (and I mean none at all) proofreading on the story. That all came later when I posted it on the board. I may post before proofing but I may not. Just remember, if you're receiving the story and see typos and all that junk, you can point it out or not. Just know that if there are a lot, it's because all I did was run a spell check, a word count and then saved it as a PDF. :)

Gonna jet so I can write some more before I fall into bed.
