Another stupid thing

So I have lots of strange things happen to me. My friends say I'm a target for mishaps. A sun umbrella once shot out of the sand and bowled me over like a torpedo. No one on the beach had seen anything like it. If a frisbee is being thrown nearby I will be hit by it doesn't matter how far it has to travel.

So as is customary in my life, I had another incident. My sister-in-laws boyfriend wants to try to make a parntership with the company I worked for. I've only met the guy twice, and he sort of talks down to me. Not badly, men do this to me all the time, so I can judge who means it and who is just underestimating me. So of course I want to prove, I'm not an idiot and then I can be intelligent-yeah, this was a mistake.

We end up playing phone tag for a couple days, I'm trying again to call him back. I'm in my truck, my husband is driving. When suddenly we are run off the road by some idiot changing lanes. My husband yells, "Oh shit!" While I look on and shout, "What the fuck!?"

We race after the people because they didn't even stop to check if we were ok, just went right around us. As my husband yells at them out the window, I notice my phone has a call in progress. I hang up immediately and tell my husband that I think I just left a nasty message on his future brother-in-laws voicemail. I call the guy back and he answers right away, sounding sorta nervous. I'm not sure how many times I apologized but I think it ranges in the hundreds. He had no clue what to do with me, the crazy white girl in his girlfriend's family.

She told me later that he wouldn't think I was strange, but that I just didn't like him. I'm not sure how that was supposed to make me feel better, but at least she was laughing about it. My brother-in-law and father-in-law already think I'm crazy, it is a good thing I have the women on my side I don't know how I'd make it through our annual reunions.

Stalking Duo update and my Beta troubles

Yeah, finally getting something done on this. It feels good to finally make some progress. I think I will get a beta for this story. I would like to bounce some ideas of someone, but I have to find a good beta.

Not that I had a bad one in the past, but I had one that kept telling that what I wrote wasn't realistic. Which I'll admit I don't actually do research for my stories, but the things he would tell me weren't realistic were things that actually happened to me...so it was awkward. I've also had betas that thought I was there personal writer so they would make completely unhelpful suggestions. Like I was writing a story set way in the past and they suddenly suggested I put them on the moon or suggest another pairing. That is were my beta reading ended.

I tried having the hubby beta for me, but um some of the content might turn him green, he is not much of a yaoi fan... He even volunteered, the sweetie that he is, but I can't do that to him.

I think I will seek some advise when the time comes closer.

Back from Lala land

Yup, I'm back from LA (and didn't get frisked at the airport this time) and my in-laws just left from their visit. Writing? What's that? The 0ne time I tried to write was on the airplane, probably not the best place. The flight attendant stopped to look over my shoulder to tell me how much he liked my laptop and called the other attendant over to take a look. (It is a mini laptop - ASUS EEE >_<) Well the story I was editing happened to have the word 'fuckable' in it, which my spellchecker didn't like, so it was underlined red. The whole time he is looking over my shoulder I was freaking out. I didn't want to make it obvious by shutting it down, so I scrolled down and was furiously trying to see if I had anything worse on the page when someone finally had to go pee and the attendants had to get out of the way. I think my face was red for the next hour.

I hope to get to work soon. I have a couple stories to put out and I would really like to finish Stalking Duo so I can let people read it. I wonder if I should get a beta reader...
