LMFAO!!!!

But I wanted to see your face... :(

Oh yeah... and I'll be in there somewhere too, making a look of horrified disgust with a hint of amusement.

I know realistic is winning in the polls, but I think "entertaining" is really our thing. :D

aww I missed the sneezing fetish conversation :( lol and yes I woke up at 7 am this morning!! Gah!!

As far as germy kids go, I would say just be prepared to be sick a lot your first full year of teaching. Those little things gave me everything under the sun that first year but after awhile you just start building up an immunity to them. LOL

I had a first grader puke ON me when I student taught.

And Nijntje, I doubt your story is the one that was being talked about, especially if you're talking about Prevailing Fate. I think Dee was referring to one she read a really looong time ago and not on the AC site.

OH...   MY...   LORD... you guys!    So I have to just tell you that I logged in this morning and saw that this thread now had 22 pages and I thought ...wow somebody got off on a late night tangent... So then I was like... I'll just read the last page and see if I can jump in and I found this...

Then I was like... Oh lord what have I done now. So then I had to go back and read the whole thread.

LMAO you guys apparently do need a sane role model! However, I don't know that I'm ready to take on that responsibility! 

lol I'm just kidding, you guys are sweet. I'll be your queen bee.  :D

But yeah, as far as the marriage thing goes. Yes Josh knows all about my fanfiction. Probably more than he wants to know. He even read the first episode of 00carter and drew us a picture. (he rocks like that) but then he was like please don't make me read any of this stuff ever again. He thinks I'm silly and teases me about it but he also likes that I write. He just wants me to start taking it seriously and write a "real" novel. (which I'm working on...) 

As far as sex goes... I've never written an actual sex scene. some PG-13 stuff... but no explicit sex. That's just weird... though, to be fair, I'm just not the type probably wouldn't write a sex scene even if I were single.

LMAO though, I'm not as sane as you think. I did use myself as a character in one of my stories and then hooked up with Brian when my husband was tragically killed. (I told you Welcome To My Heart was crap :D)  I was probably really pissed at him at the time or something  ;) Anyway Josh pouted for like a week when I killed him.

Oh good!!!  LOL I thought you might be kidding... but I would have felt bad if you weren't! :P   I knew you had a cancer story, but I didn't think it was like THAT LMAO.  I was checking out all your stories on AC last night trying to make sure, and that's why I asked where it was posted, cause I couldn't find anything that looked like what Dee was describing LOL.

Yeah... and then I was like, Dang it, Dee, you have to make sure it's not other AC authors you're making fun of!!! :P   But like I said, it didn't sound like something you would have written and I couldn't find anything like it in your stories, so I was hoping you were just kidding...

Otherwise I was prepared to tell you about all of the crappy, crappy stories I wrote back in the day and assure you that we all write stuff like that and that it's okay to make fun of ourselves. :D  LMAO
