Josh, You are SOOOOO wrong for the maybe! But I shall be on the watch from now on! Fool me once and all that.
As for the book…pure drivel for midless entertainment: At Grave’s End by Jeaniene Frost. She’s not bad -my favorite is actually Laurell K. Hamilton for paranormal genre. I seem to have a love for a female vampire hunter who kicks ass. Guess with my love of knives and a slight violent streak, it appeals to the hidden hunter in me! Knives are my favorite weapon and I carry at leat 2 on me at all time. There is just something comforting in it and if things get nasty, well, let’s just say I have never pulled a knife I did not intend to use. Knives force you to respect them and you will be close enough to your opponent to smell their fear, so it is very personal.
OK-TMI, but hey -after your stunt, this kind of honesty should just be right up your alley.
I really do carry the cold steel though.
Lest you wonder, I do enjoy “real” books, so to speak, but the paranormal books that have no real meaning are my way of tuning in and letting go. My parents used to tease that the house could burn down and I’d never notice with my nose in a book.
Read some of your posts -awesome, of course, but I can’t wait till you give out some info on your own book.
Have a vunderful Sunday!
Steph

Stephanie, that is a wild dream. Especially the English slang. What book are you reading with fangs in it? I’m not going anywhere, neither is the blog. I promise not to do this again. Maybe.

OK-Enough! Josh, I actaullay dreamed last night that your mom was yelling at you last night and I was watching her as she said that yes, you CAN read, and it’s not nice to misguide people who have entrusted you with their time and have invested, so to speak in your blog, by their visits and comments! It was way weird and then before I woke up I said “sod off”, which is even more strange since I am NOT English. Gotta be the book I am reading – one of the characters rubbing off???? Hope not, he has fangs…
Anyway, I had to come tell you about the dream. Obviously -your post had a bigger impact that I thought.
I would hate for you to stiop blogging, on a serious note, because I really enjoy your stuff.
Gotta go for a ride to clear the cobwebs now!

Wow. This threw me for sure. I was all confused, figured it was a hoax. Please don’t become like Andy Kaufman.
