Do you get all sniffly and teary like I do when your writing isn't as good as you wish it could be? Oh, boo fucking hoo. This too shall pass. Please don't point and stare at me like that.

Moving right along, does anyone have George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" from the "Faith" CD (not the "Best of" CD)? Got it! Thanks, amelia_eve and meri_oddities.

How about his duet with Mary J. Blige doing Stevie Wonder's "As"? And thanks cadillacaro. That one was only released in Britain.

Or maybe The Staple Singers "I'll Take You There"? Thanks, pearl898!

I'd adore you forever if you could upload it for me.

Otherwise I'll just put on some maudlin C&W and cry in my beer wine.

Okay, let's try this again. Yes, I have the Mp3 for I want your sex part 1&2. It's like 8M. Can I email it to you? Sadly, I have no idea how to upload it.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

You can email it, or I can teach you, grasshopper, about the wonder that is yousendit.com.

[meri-oddities.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm about ready to go to sleep tonight -- and yes, I know it's pathetic to go to bed at 9:15, but what can I say. :-) I think I'll just email you the file and tomorrow you can tell me how to do yousendit.

Why do you think I've been metaphorically crying for the last two years?

Sigh. Pass the Kleenex?

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling I sahll regret this post in the morning, but now there are people who can pat my shoulder and know what I mean. Thanks!

However, in my view, you don't have a thing to worry over, my dear!

Sometimes. And sometimes it is just a very convenient excuse to go watch more television.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Television is something I got out of the habit of. (thinks I could go back and make that a better sentence...and says what the hell and moves on).

But I have George now. George is singing dirty things to me. My life just may improve.

Faith-Based Charity

I got yer Faith versions of "Sex" right here, all three of 'em.

Breathlessly awaiting "I'll Take You There."

Oh, you have resurrected my evening from teh suck! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

Do you get all sniffly and teary like I do when your writing isn't as good as you wish it could be?

Well, yeah, especially after I read something like tryfanstone's newest Snape/Harry, Consanguinity. It makes me very happy that there are writers out there like that, and very sad that I'm not one of them.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

But...but I have these pretensions, you see! I want to be All That in Las Vegas. I don't want to be a poseur!

And I though you were all that, too. So even the great suffer these moments of loss-of-confidence?

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

LOL! If you want to know that, you'll have to ask someone who knows! I just keep plugging away at it, eternally grateful that those who are All That keep writing fic for us to enjoy and learn from!

And don't go there with me, missy! I saw you get fangirled at TWH, so no poseur comments from you!

[gilded-kage.livejournal.com]

I will B your Fangirl, and squee regularly!

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[painless-j.livejournal.com]

Delta, you surprise me! Your post tells me how weirdly inadequate people can be about themselves :) Jay is a fab writer, but you most definitely are too, only you have a different manner. That's all. Duh. Come on, if you don't believe yourself, believe me :))

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

if you don't believe yourself, believe me :))

*Promises to try*

[bronze-ribbons.livejournal.com]

Sniffly and teary, no, but that's because I'm being stompy and sulky instead.

(And *I* am drinking beer, the better to smash up the bottle afterwards.)

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

I tried on sulky and stompy, but it didn't pan out for long. I'm all about the woe-is-me of bad reviews. Call me Miss Angsty Author. But now I can dance to George Michael, so there's that.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

I think you should be more ashamed of your taste in music than your writing ability.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Leave it to you to put a smile on my face! Thank you for that.

[venivincere]

Here, darling, have a hanky [_] and a cup of tea c\_/. I'll always love your writing no matter what.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie. Tea is good. I'll wash the hankie and give it back later, 'k?

[venivincere]

Naw, keep it. I've got a zillion. :-)

[pearl898.livejournal.com]

I'll take you there:

OMG, thank you! I've been wanting to hear this song again for months! I loved it when it came out, and I heard it on the radio, back before music was so compartmentalized and isolated on various stations. The base line alone is worth it.

[pearl898.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I love this song. I think it showed up recently in some car commercial, I'm suprised it wasn't easier to find.

[parthenia14.livejournal.com]

Oh shit. Um.

((hugs))

*passes the tissues*

Jane Austen had this all the time, honestly.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dear. Look at all the cool songs I got, though.

The Jane comment helped, too.

[parthenia14.livejournal.com]

I may well be around later, when I've crawled back from London after 900 interviews. OK 6. Oh, don't fret, honestly.

[painless-j.livejournal.com]

Ooh, what's happening, love? If your writing isn't as good as you wish it could be, then your wishes are from the realm of totally unrealistic 'cos it IS fucking really good! Duh. 99% of fandom should go hang themselves out of misery then.

I wish my laptop were fixed, we'd have a long tipsy talk in the night (my night, your evening).

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Things look a little better this morning. Good thing I drank lots of water before I went to sleep, or I'd be sorry right about now. I woke up really early; it's still dark. I trimmed out most of the more maudlin comments. And Isis petted me and calmed me a bit last night, the sweetheart.

[painless-j.livejournal.com]

log in on yim, i'm waiting for you there

[starkittyn.livejournal.com]

oh yes, Very often. It's a right pain. *sigh*

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Oh, I felt very writerly last night! In a Faulkner kind of way.

[cadillacaro.livejournal.com]

*delurks*

George Michael & Mary J Blige (http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3MNPJJG9A4OT70B0G4YBXTUBBB) - "As"

I hope this was the one you were looking for.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You can come delurk in my LJ anytime!

I've never even heard this song before, so I'm very, very happy you loaded it for me. I've read about it, but it wasn't released on the US version of "Ladies and Gentlemen..." because MJB's label wasn't too happy about George's public bathroom incident that happened shortly before the release. Or so I've read.

This helps feed my embarrassing obsession new interest in George. Woot!

[cadillacaro.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! If you need any more, feel free to ask. I don't know why, but I always end up having the songs people ask for...

[cursive.livejournal.com]

I think your writing is extremely good indeed. I envy several things about it and you're definitely one of the fanfic writers I've learned a lot from.

...just saying, is all.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I've since recovered from this angsty little meltdown - although I still am sad that I learn writing the hard way, it seems. But I know I do a few things that don't suck, so it's time to bite the bullet and revise, revise, revise!
