07:47 @reechme It's finished, now to send it out to the 2nd Betas, do some edits and revisions on it, and prep it for submission. #lightningrod # 14:34 Looking at the cover for Coyote's Creed, and just.... wow. Can't show it off yet, but it's awesome. :) #coyotescreed #bigdamnedsquee # 22:37 IT PASSED!!!!!! Thank you, NY, for getting one big step closer to seeing me as a human being. #ILoveNY #NY4M #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter

08:27 To the senators still undecided in the NY gay marriage vote, a word of caution: NEVER ask the Internet for advice, you'll weep for humanity. # 10:19 Did the 8k this morning, somehow managed to kick the final 400m, beautiful day out, very sweaty, off to the shower, feel free to fantasize. #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter

13:39 @vashtan Plus, it's hard to take a place seriously when they pride themselves on "naughty" material. Seriously? Naughty? What, is it 1895? # 13:42 @vashtan When I hear the word "naughty" applied to X-rated material, I just imagine it largely involves erotic scolding. And maybe a vicar. # 15:39 @vashtan 50+ plus matrons? So you think of plus-sized matrons over the age of 50, or over 50 plus-sized matrons? Hey, I don't judge. :) #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter

09:15 @mythicfox Oh, in that case you just use AFW - Away From Window. # 10:35 Got back my civil service exam results. Went from a 75% to a 93%, or ranked 37th to ranked 3rd. :) #yayme # 16:17 Sitting at 99k, pretty sure that I'm going to bring this in under 105k. #lightningrod #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter

09:12 Dreamed that if you put Cheerios in water and microwaved them, they'd rehydrate into donuts. REALLY need to lay off the late night caffeine. # 19:40 Tweets for Today j.mp/kT4Cxe #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter

09:21 @vashtan Stubborn's at #8 and not at #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #9 as well? That person doesn't know Tauruses that well. ;) #scorpiopride # 09:25 @vashtan Yes I did, and he's only ex I'm still on good terms with. Also, my #1 fag hag is a bull. # 09:27 @vashtan Besides, Tauruses hate Scorps because they know they shouldn't trust us, but you tell us all your secrets anyway. ;) # 09:30 @vashtan Want a tip for #Scorpio if you want the relationship to work? The real three words you want him to say are "I trust you". # 10:18 @ActuallyNPH Spiderman is the only musical in history where attending will cause a bump in your health insurance premiums. # 10:27 Stayed up late last night and got to 97k. Writing the final battle, it's going different from last time, but in a good way. #lightningrod # 11:04 @vashtan I'm currently reading "The Big Con" by David W. Maurer as research for Spence. # 11:11 @vashtan It's a journalistic work on the con artists of the 30s, 40s, and 50s in the US, their cons, how they work. # 11:12 @vashtan For more modern con artist stuff, I would highly recommend Frank Abagnale's "The Art of the Steal". # 11:13 The banking scams run on a lot of the same principles. According to the book, there's really only three big cons, and endless variations. # 11:18 And of course, for a more romanticized look at it, watch "The Sting". Redford and Newman are amazing in that. #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter
