So for the last four weeks I've been working hard to a) finish revisions on Embers & Echoes (Wildefire #2), which were due to my lovely editor Courtney last week, and also revise a side project I've been working on. All this revision has broken my brains and encroached on my blogging time, so to make up for my absence on here, I present to you more out-of-context awkward conversations I've had over Gchat and text this past month.
On Dreams
Me: Last night I had a dream that involved a cat/gazelle hybrid
Me: Like it was the size and general shape of a cat, but it had stripes and horns and long legs
Me: Also, it was the beginning of the apocalypse
Jill: There were monkeys in mine last night
Jill: And i was shopping for Chanel nail polish
On Partying like an Adult
Jessica: We should have been in a circle
Jessica: and introduced ourselves
Me: with nap mats
Jessica: and Motts
Jessica: they could sponsor the event
On Beauty Sleep
Me: I took four naps today
Me: Three of them were unintentional
On Mixology
Me: Did you just compare my favorite cocktail to a celebrity sex tape?
Holley: Maybe.
On Unusual Curses
Me: I hope you choked on the bread
Me: and that your ginger ale was flat
On Intentional Accidents
Me: I think that's one of the emails I accidentally ignored
Scott: You're mixing up "accidentally" and "intentionally" again
Me: I never can keep them straight...
On Decorating Elephant Saddles
Me: Can we decorate our own elephant saddles
Me: with glitter lace and sequins
Me: and rhinestones
Jessica: sounds like a lot of work
Jessica: but yes
Jessica: I mean you trust me with a hot glue gun?
On Accidental Grand Theft Auto
Me: I panicked on my walk back to the car because I thought it got towed
Me: but I just parked farther away than I thought
Me: either that, or I drove the wrong car home last night
Me: which is very possible
On French Braids
Jennifer: they do that because it'll hold her hair back during combat, not because it's an acceptable prom style
On Britney Spears
Me: No judgment
Me: You're talking to the guy whose beer pong theme song is Break the Ice
On Working Out
Jessica: You pick things up and put them down
Me: I pick things up and drop them on myself
Jessica: Why would you do that
Me: New fitness craze
Jessica: Oh like Cross Fit
On Power Tools
Me: I don't want to be anywhere near you when you are wielding a jigsaw
On Responsible Drinking
Me: You can take a shot of milk.
Lydia: With a cookie as a chaser.
On Being a Supportive Friend
Me: You would suck at online dating
Jessica: How are you so sure?
Me: Because you suck at it in real life
Jessica: Valid point
On Being Tall
Me: Let’s go to a bar where I don’t feel like Gulliver’s Travels when I sit down
You're effing hilarious, but it also appears that you might have been having some of these conversations by yourself. Which is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAw G-chat. What a riot! Seems like it inspires all sorts of creativity. I hope some of this insanity makes it into your writing :)
ReplyDeleteDying for E&E...D.Y.I.N.G.
These never fail to make my day.
ReplyDeleteHope you get all that revision and editing finished...that can be mentally exhausting. Looking forward to book 2.
ReplyDeleteThese are too funny. I'd look like a crazy person. No, truly. If I published some of mine.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and I will go off to work laughing... Thank you..
