Weeeeeeee!! I did it! I Did it!

[Dionne Galace]

*coy smile*

[Lila Dubois]

did what?

[Dionne Galace]

*big-ass grin, complete with dimples* Guess.

[Darragha Foster]

You passed inspection with Tina and are going to be a Liquid Silver Author. Right?

[Lisa Andel]

Rode the Voyage roller coaster at Holiday Park, with your eyes open and you didn't barf?

Or what Darragha said.

[Dionne Galace]

Yes.

[Bonnie Dee]

Congrats to you. And to Ann and me, too. Looking forward to hanging with you here.

[Dionne Galace]

For real, for real, Bonnie. Congrats to the 3 of us. We rock! Boundless is gonna kick serious ass.

[Annie Dean]

I'm tickled to death about this antho, featuring my BF and an author I've been fangirl-y over for about a year.

I'll email you guys about the ideas I have for the cover.

[Lila Dubois]

Okay seriously.... Now we have to move the "Bam's and evil whore" thread out of the author only boards.

[April Martinez]

Dude, Lila. The thread you started?

[Celine Chatillon]

Congrats! Remember, I never ever said anything on that one thread Lila started.

[Shayla Kersten]

Congratulations!

[Tina Burns]

You make me sound like a drill sergeant or something....

[Mike]

Slam Bam, welcome ma'am

I edited most of that thread Lila, just left your comments as "representative"

I agree, that's not fair. Tina's much tougher than a parade-ground wimp

[Annie Dean]

It was called "I'm in an anthology with the devil," wasn't it?

[Shayla Kersten]

Uh, I believe it was, Annie. *cackle*

[Darragha Foster]

I have never ever ever said anything bad about Bam. In writing.

Darr

[Rachel Fox]

Welcome to the fold, Bam. Do we have a secret decoder ring for this gal? Lila? You're in charge of newbie-bling, right?

Rachel

P.S. Tina is not a drill sargeant -- she is a the most sacred of Author Divas!

[Dionne Galace]

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I feel all warm and gushy inside... but I do believe they have a cream for it... and I'll be okay in a couple of days, tops!

It was called "I'm in an anthology with the devil," wasn't it?

AWESOME!

[Lila Dubois]

I passed out 400 postcards with cute little shell bracelets in them at RT. These postcards had Bam's name on the back. Me and Bam have an understanding.

Did you ever get the fake cat? That would rule if we had matching fake cats.

[Dionne Galace]

Gah, I didn't get the fake cat, Lil. I decided to get Deadwood on DVD instead.

Man, I love Deadwood. BEST. SHOW. EVER.

Dude, thanks for the postcards, Lil. That's awesome.

Maybe I'll get a fake cat with my first royalty paycheck from LSB.

[Lila Dubois]

Buy something better than a fake cat. Like two fake cats.

[Darragha Foster]

I have a fake cat that purrs and meows on my desk at the day job.

[April Martinez]

I have a real cat that poops and spits up hairballs. Also, if I die alone in the house, it will eat me.

[Dionne Galace]

I'm not allowed to have a real cat. Tim's concerned I'll forget all about it and it'll die of starvation. And he works 70-hour workweeks, so... *shrug*

Also...

[April Martinez]

Trust me. Cats don't let you starve them. Mine whines, meows, and bites my leg if I'm late with the meals, and if I neglect the cleaning of her litter box, she poops underneath my office chair. If I don't brush her daily during the warm months, she sheds like crazy all over everything and spits up hairballs in my path. She's got me trained, that one, and if I'm lax, the next time I'm on the phone with the fiance, she complains to him (she's much more verbal with him). He's always been much more generous with the meals, and he's better trained.

It's just tons of fun. yay.

[Mike]

Bam, we could send you a real cat and a fake check, that would work much better for us. Waddayasay, wanna be a team player?

Well, Mike... I don't need the money. How about a BIG check AND two fake cats?

Or you could tell me what my new LSB sisters have said about me...

Should I apologize for having told you about that?

[April Martinez]

I'm not sure, lol. I hear it all the time from Craig Ferguson as well. He never fails to remind his audience about how a cat will eat you, and now I worry that I'll one day be discovered long dead with all my limbs half gnawed.

[Lisa Andel]

I'm see the allure of fake cats.

[Dionne Galace]

Yeah, fake cats won't eat you if you die unnoticed in your cold, lonely apartment. *sniff*

[April Martinez]

And if you're murdered, fake cats won't ruin the crime scene for the forensic team. I keep thinking about that one Halloween episode of NCIS, where a Roomba ate up the spent bullets on the floor before the team could take photos of the entire scene.

[Terri Schaefer]

LOL! The way I look at it, cats mauling forensic evidence is NOT a bad thing. And REALLY, I'm not looking to off the hubby...yet *g*.

Bam...welcome to LSB, baby!!!
