Well my friends, it's time to go.

I joined LJ because I hoped I would enjoy it, but I really don't. I am one of the worse friends ever as I hardly ever comment, and I hardly ever update. It's not fair to the people who friended me, nor is it nice.

I am not nice. I live in a dark place most of the time, and if anyone reads my fics they will know this. I don't feel the need to write my life for the world to see, nor do I intend to carry on.

This entry is intended to let everyone know that I will be removing my LJ account as soon as my fic Love For Sale is complete.  The reason for the delay, is that the fic was written for the spuffy_fantasy community, and I believe they should continue to receive chapters till completion.

As soon as the last chapter goes up, I will be gone.

I have my own website now, and I will probably only post there.  I will leave the fics I already have out there in the archives, but I will no longer post any new work to them.  

I have a lot to thank the likes of Spuffy Realm, BSV, Elysian Fields and Vampires Kiss for.  These sites gave me the chance to post to the world, and I will forever be grateful.  However, life moves on, and I don't want to carry on.

If this makes me sound elitist, I really don't mean to be.  I would just prefer to only post to my own site.  

I promise to complete my WIP's on the archives, I am not that selfish.

If my readership want to find me then I will be found at www.blood-desires.co.uk

I don't mean to offend anyone by this post, I felt it best to be fair and honest.

Hi guys,

I have just got home from a week in Menorca.  I am so tanned and relaxed just now and I am loving it.

While I was away, I celebrated my 47th birthday.  I logged on today to find that 

[info]cordykitten and [info]deedo_2313had left me lovely birthday wishes, and [info]deedo_2313 had left me pressies.  

I love you both, thank you.

 

[info]aa_eve_aaand [info]vampgirly both sent me birthday wishes by text.  I love them both too.  

I am off out tonight, so I will catch up with you all later.

Byeeee

Over the last few days I learned that [info]hotspur18 had plagarized stories and tried to pass them off as her own.  Unbelieveably, she won awards for this.  I have  investigated this for myself, and found that she plagarized manips too, and won awards for that as well.  When I read the number of "We support you" comments on her LJ, and I was incensed.  

Her comments have been screened and I very much doubt that anyone will see just what I said - so, in the interest of fair play - here is the comment I tried to post.

I really do not understand why you are getting support just because you came clean.  You came clean because you were CAUGHT, and had no choice.  You STOLE.  It does not matter if it was ideas or money, you STOLE.  If you had taken one of my stories and tried to pass it off as your own, then I would be beyond pissed. Why people think you did the decent thing by removing the stories, I do not know.  It should not have happened in the first place.  If you cannot think up your own plotlines, then leave writing alone.

If she has LJ friends who read this and feel they need to try and support her through my LJ, then all I can say is BRING IT ON.

I came home tonight from work in a really weird mood.  I don't know why, nor do I care to analyse it.   The only thing I can think is that the house is 'active' just now.  If you know me well you know exactly what I mean.

So, I thought I would put this out there.  If you know me then the poem will make total sense.  If you only know me through my writing, please don't think I am nuts.  

I SEE IT

I see it through a window

I see it passing by

I see it in a heartbeat

I see it when I cry

 

I see it in a moment

I see it in a glance

I see it in a sunbeam

I see it when I dance

 

I see it in a corner

I see it on the stair

I see it in a rainbow

I see it in a prayer

 

I see it when I’m walking

I see it when I’m still

I see it when I’m angry

I see it when I’m ill

 

I see it on your faces

I see it in your style

I see it in your eyes at times

I see it in your smile

 

I see it far too often

I see it when I give

I see it all around me

I see it want to live

 

I see it try to hurt me

I see it try to maim

I see it try to take me

I see it wants the same

 

I see it as it leaves me

I see it as it goes

I see it will come back again

I see it in love’s throes

 

I see it almost every day

I see it in a dream

I see it want to rule my life

I see it want to scream

 

I see it leave my heart now

I see it take its turn

I see it want me even more

I see it try to burn

 

I see it roll around my life

I see it touch my hair

I see it wants to leave now

I see it everywhere

 

 

End

No comments required, just wanted to put it out there.......

[info]edgehead73 has made me a new pretty for my Three Become One fic.  Isn't it just beautiful.  I think I am inspired to write another chapter, but we will have to wait and see.  The original fic was written for [info]vampgirly and I want her OK before I write any more.  See you all soon peeps.


PRETTY  PRETTY  PRETTY

[info]vampgirly birthday treat  
Happy Birthday, honey.

Now it's no secret to the outside world just what your kink is, so instead of a REAL pressie I thought I would try my hand at something totally different.

I like Spilfy too, but only if it's well written and sexy.  I have always written Spuffy in the past, but in honour of my muffin  [info]vampgirly[info]vampgirly  birthday, I thought I would make an attempt to write a bit of Spilfy.

The story is SO NC-17, so please take heed before you look under the cut.  This small insight into a time in our three lover's lives will become a longer story at some point, but the plot bunny told me to write this NOW and not wait.  If you like, please comment, and [info]vampgirlyand I will write the story around this chapter.  You all know her writing is HOT, HOT, HOT so I hope you won't be disappointed with my effort.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of BTVS, I only play with them now and again.  I get paid nothing for this story, but your comments are like a million pounds.

Enjoy [info]vampgirly, enjoy........

Hi folks,

Sorry it's been so long, but to be honest I have had far too much to do. The reason for this is quite simple. My muffins [info]aa_eve_aa, and [info]vampgirly are visiting with me just now, and tomorrow we are going to be joined by [info]tamakin_84. So far we have visited Stirling Castle, Rosslyn Chapel, and a trip through Edinburgh. Now that was fun as I drove into Edinburgh from the South which I normally never do, and I got lost. Next time we take the train!!!!!

Tomorrow we are off down the West Coast of Scotland to look at "The Electric Brae" (google it folks - it's a sight to see). Once we have travelled around a bit, we will finally pick up [info]tamakin_84.

On Saturday we are all flying down to Cardiff to see JJJAAAMMMEEESSS!!!!!! When we get home, there will be an update on ALL our journals (hopefully including piccies).

Have fun till we return.......

Meme - snagged from [info]aa_eve_aa  
What color is your soul painted?

Pink

Your soul is painted the color pink, which embodies the characteristics of love, friendship, compassion, femininity, relaxation, ability to overcome evil, honor, morality, general success, gratitude, appreciation, admiration, sympathy, health, and marriage. Pink falls under the element of Air, and is symbolic of gentle emotions and of emotional unions.

Hi guys,

Just an update to let you all know I'm back from holiday now, and I sang in the final of Stars in their Eyes. I came in third, and I am chuffed to bits. The competition was really good, as we had all been through loads of heats before we got to the final.

I will take a pic of my trophy sometime tomorrow, and hopefully I will post it up for everyone to see.

Bye for now...

Glynis

Hi all,

I know I have been really remiss in posting entries, and updating fics and generally keeping in touch; but work has been a total bitch in the last few weeks.

I have just added a new friend - and she is probably someone you would all like to friend too. I have the honour of welcoming [info]vakay54 to our little circle. [info]vakay54 is better know to all of us as the Verda - who, in my honest opinion, is one of the nicest and constant reviewers on the fanfic circuit.

[info]vakay54 is as dear to me as [info]smudgiboo and my muffin [info]aa_eve_aa. When I first started to post The Lord and the Lady, these 3 women gave me all the encouragement they could to continue. Especially [info]aa_eve_aa, who talked me out of writer's blocks and generally boosted me on 'down days'.

Please welcome [info]vakay54 to our LJ. I have no doubt there are many of you out there who have appreciated her wonderful reviews and how they have encouraged you to continue.

I was chatting to [info]vampgirly and to her credit, she told me that Verda had an LJ account. We both think she is a sweetie, so I dedicate this post to her.

I won't be around for a week, as I am heading off to the West Coast of Scotland for the yearly family holiday. There are about 4 car loads of us, and we will have a ball.

My brother and his wife have never been on a plane, so we have arranged a trip down to London next Thursday for the day. Harrods better watch out!!!!

Love you all till then

Well, I made it.

I won the heat last night for the charity 'Stars in their eyes', so now I'm in the final on June 16th. Gary, Jenny's fiance, had never heard me sing on stage before and was gob-smacked. Jenny is sick of hearing me sing - poor bint has had to listen to it from inside the womb to the present day - so she just sat there with her Smirnoff Ice. The place was mobbed and I got a standing ovation. I was really chuffed, and I was happy that I managed to raise over £200 for the charity 'Chickenshed'.

My two oldest friends - both called Margaret - were there too, and it had been so long since we had all gone out together. We had a great laugh and it was a fun night out.

One of the Margaret's had done my makeup and hair for me, and I looked amazing. Unfortunately I had spent Thursday night into Friday morning stuck in Stirling Royal Infirmary with a suspected DVT. The bottom half of my left leg is turning black, but the 12 year old who examined me, after 5 hours of waiting, told me it was tendonitis and everything would be OK. OKAY??????? How can a leg going black be okay? I swear to God, if I do end up with ANOTHER DVT, I will sue the National Health. I have had 2 DVT's in my life - I think I know what a fucking blood clot in the leg feels like......

Anyhoo....I will love you all and leave you now. I'm feeling a bit tired so I might have a small kip.

Catch you all later

Hi, I know I haven't posted in a while, but RL caught up with me a bit lately.

I have some news for everyone though. My beautiful, talented daughter, Jennifer has had her results for her thesis on and I quote, "Stem Cell Technology and its use in the treatment of Motor Neurone Disease."

My baby got an 'A'.

I am SO very proud of her. She manages to attend college full time, hold a relationship together with her fiance and work weekends in SKY's call centre.

She is my little star.

Hello my wonderful friends.

While chatting the other night to [info]vampgirly, full of sugar I agreed to a challenge to write a story in the style of Mills and Boon. [info]vampgirly was so determined that I write this that she promised me a lovely banner. Unfortunately the banner isn't ready yet as I only gave her the bases about 3 hours ago. I know I should wait, but I am actually really proud of this piece of totally humerous nonsense.

When the banner is ready - I will add it to the story.

Hi guys,

Thought I would post an update to let you know how all the girls were getting on in Milton Keynes, and what they think of James in the flesh. I have already told you all the [info]aa_eve_aa is walking on cloud 9, well it appears that things are getting better by the minute.

I got a phone call this morning from [info]vampgirly, and she is drooling. According to [info]vampgirly, the man is just far too gorgeous close up. She reckons his photos etc. do him no justice at all, and you all should have heard her go on about his eyes. The poor woman was so worked up, that she had to start smoking again.

When she called me, I asked if she and [info]tamakin had managed to meet up with [info]aa_eve_aa, and it looks as though everyone has become firm friends. [info]vampgirly asked me to post this little update as we all have a lot of mutual friends in common, so I thought you all might like to know how everything is going. I asked if it was busy, and [info]vampgirly told me that they had to queue for an hour for a photo op - but she did say it was SOOOO worth it.

I have been assured that lots of pics have been taken and that they will be up in the next few days. I can't wait.

By the sound of it, they are having a ball. I am even more depressed now that I chose not to go, and I have given myself lots of huggles to compensate.

If I hear any more, I will let you all know - have fun in the meantime, and look out for the pics as they post them

A fair amount of my LJ friends are down in London just now to see JM in action. So far I have received a few texts from [info]aa_eve_aa rubbing in how much James rocked, and how she got a kiss on each cheek from him. She promises to have the pics up on her LJ soon, but she won't be home till next week.

I phoned [info]vampgirly while she was waiting in the airport to meet [info]tamakin and they were going to meet up with [info]aa_eve_aa today. I just know they will have a great time at the con together.

Isn't it ironic that I spend most of my time in London these days, and this was the one week that my boss wanted me to work from Scotland. BAAAAAHHHHHH!

I refuse to complain as [info]aa_eve_aa and [info]vampgirly are coming to stay with me for a while in July. I have a big house with lots of room, so if anyone else wants to join us, let me know.

I decided to do this meme as I wanted to see what kind of creature I am.


You Are a Chimera

You are very outgoing and well connected to many people.
Incredibly devoted to your family and friends, you find purpose in nurturing others.
You are rarely alone, and you do best in the company of others.
You are incredibly expressive, and people are sometimes overwhelmed by your strong emotions.
