Your Song

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if i did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If i was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but it's the best i can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you


And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that i put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world


I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while i wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on


So excuse me forgetting but these things i do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what i really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

- written by Elton John

Now listening to:

Panic at the Disco

I couldn't come up with a better title. So I am going to put this out here to my 3-4 readers so I can't back out, I am setting a goal to write a story to submit to Good Vibes online magazine before my birthday on January 26th. I know it will be an original work of erotic fiction, but I am not sure where to begin yet. Right now I am looking for a dream, a song, a random image to inspire me. Forcing it isn't working.

Now listening: REV 22:20 - Puscifer, from the Underworld soundtrack

Don't be aroused, by my confession
Unless you don't give a good Goddamn about redemption
I know Christ is comin', so am I
And you would too if the sexy devil caught your eye

She'll suck you dry
But still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again
She'll make you weak
And mourn and cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in your arms just until I can die a little longer
Satyrs and saints, devils and heathens and lies
She'll eat you alive

Jesus is risen, it's no surprise
Even he would martyr his mama to ride to hell between those thighs
The pressure is building, at the base of my spine
If I gotta sin to see her again then I'm gonna lie and lie and lie

She'll make you cry
I'll sell my soul, to be back in your bosom
Gladly now please suck me dry
And still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just until I can die a little longer
Satyrs and saints, devils and heathens and lies
She'll eat you alive

My pulse has been rising
My temples are pounding
The pressure is so overwhelming and building
So steady they're fretting I'm ready to blow
What is she what is she what is she waiting for?

(Pray) Pray til I go blind
(Pray) Pray cause no one ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just to die longer
Satyrs and saints, devils and heathens and lies
She'll eat you alive

Maybe I can find something here?

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Frenzy Review

Here is the review of Frenzy I posted on Amazon.

Sudden, sensational sex

The 60 short erotic stories in this novel centered around the theme of sex that happens quickly or unexpectedly. My hands-down favorite was Pirate Treasure by Janine Ashbless. Two extras in a pirate movie hook up during the filming of a tavern scene, with no one around them the wiser. I re-read this story twice, it still elicited the same visceral reaction. Hot, hot, hot! Nikki Magennis contributed two very short-shorts, Madrid and Sweets, that read like beautiful erotic poems. I enjoyed Lake Logan by Cheyenne Blue, which was a fun story about lovers who make the best of being stuck in the middle of a huge lake-like puddle. I loved Alison Tyler's own contribution, [...] about a man who's worked his way through all the waitresses at his favorite bar. The new girl knows he's bad news, but she also knows he'll be completely worth the trouble. With 60 stories to choose from, there were far too many I liked to mention them all. Even the few stories that didn't appeal to me personally were well-written. The majority of the stories are heterosexual pairings, with just a few gay or lesbian stories in the mix. I would recommend this book to friends based on the variety and excellent writing.

New Shoes are Sweet

This post actually has nothing to do with my shoe fetish. I got Apples to Apples, a very fun game, from Jess and Frosh for Christmas this year. In the times we've played it, I've developed a theory that the green apple cards with adjectives you win describe the personality of the person who wins them.

For example, last night I had Fresh, Sultry, Influential, Corrupt, Hilarious and Sweet.

One can argue that I'm not extremely influential or really corrupt, but I know I have influenced and corrupted the morals of my friends and exes.

So I think it's pretty spot on. :-)

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

New Book Reviews Coming Soon!

I just finished reading the first two books in the Twilight Saga. I plan to work on a review for them tonight. They were better than expected. Also, I am working my way thru Frenzy, a collection of 60 short stories about sex that happened suddenly.

You know what's cool? If you Google Suzanne Slaughenhaupt, the first 5 hits are actually me. The first two are this blog, and the others are links from my friends' myspace pages.

On my way to work

On my way to work today I saw a broken pool cue laying near the road. It was by the plaza near the Sports Cafe. I wondered what its story was. Did a Christmas brawl break out? Did someone kiss someone else's someone under the mistletoe? Did someone miss a winning shot and get so ridiculously angry they snapped the cue in half and threw it in the street? (It's a game, grow up!) I like mysterious objects. They are good fodder for the imagination.

And though I wouldn't wish her any less time with her husband, I miss my partner in crime, Kelli. I think she is back Monday.

Working til 10, already way too bored.

Merry Part and Blessed Be

Happy Boxing Day

It is now December 26th. Santa Claus was very good to Jeff and I this year, I got a Garmin Nuvi 200 from Jeff's mom, because she knew I really really wanted one after borrowing theirs for vacation this year. I completed my Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, I now own seasons 1-7. I also got seasons 3-4 of Angel. I got Prince Caspian, which I am anxious to watch. I am loving the long black sweater my mom and I picked out in Erie, it has kept me warm and toasty all day.

Back to work tomorrow, from 1-10. Thanks to those who called or sent texts, even if I didn't respond. My cell died in West Hickory last night. (That kind of sounds like a song, doesn't it? My cell, it just died in my purse tonight, must have been without any service, it just died in my purse tonight)

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

I'm dreaming of a wet Christmas

Yeah, I know that sounds dirty. Now ask me if I care. :-) Soon I will be going back out in the rain to shovel the nasty snow the plow shoved onto our driveway. I got a couple last minute presents this morning. I bedecked a fruit cake with ribbons. I think I am going to have a cup of tea and eat something before packing, cleaning etc.

Also, in the spirit of this blog entry's title, here is my review of Never Have the Same Sex Twice by Alison Tyler.

I enjoyed reading Alison Tyler's latest book, Never Have the Same Sex Twice. I would recommend it to friends. She chose excellent examples of erotic stories to illustrate her points, which made the book far more fun to read than most "relationship help" books. The information provided was solid, but not new information to those who have read other help books of this type. The book offers advice such as trying different rooms of the house, different locations away from home, talking to your lover about their fantasies, etc. It emphasizes the importance of communication and openness, and showing your partner that you still think they're hot stuff, whether it's been three months, three years or three decades. What makes the book special is the collection of arousing first-rate short stories for inspiration.

Never Have the Same Sex Twice is divided into 17 short chapters. Each chapter closes with an erotic short story that demonstrates the idea of the chapter. I liked Jeremy Edward's story, Le Petit Dejeuner, in the chapter about using memories, especially the juxtaposition of the loving, flowery descriptions of his lover's beauty with the dirty, graphic descriptions of the sex they have. I also liked Ronald Keller's story, the Princess and the Penis, which had a modern twist on an erotic Sleeping Beauty fantasy. Alison Tyler's short story Red Light, Green Light really showed you how to make the commute home from work a lot more fun. Rules of the Game by Thomas S Roche, in the chapter about continuing to flirt with your partner, made a fantasy game of pretending to hook up with a stranger who is really your significant other very hot. Before reading his story, that was an idea that never appealed to me.

The erotic stories motivate you to try the ideas by getting your juices flowing, to help you jump start a sex life that may have gotten into just a little rut, as can happen with any long term relationship. It's important to build anticipation to keep that passion the new relationships have going for years and years. Lastly, I enjoyed Alison's references to her own relationship of fifteen years. You can tell from the way she talks about him that her husband appreciates her and makes her feel sexy and gets the same back from her. Ms. Tyler's book is definitely not "Do as I say, not as as I do," it's "Do as I do, and have a freaking great time!"

So dumb...

Well, more accident prone. I fell into the back seat of my car last night. I was trying to sit sideways on the front seat to warm it up before leaving work. But I forgot the front seat was pushed up. I now have a 4 inch ugly red and purple bruise on my right thigh, and a bruise on the back of my knee. I hope to take some graphic pictures of them as they change color to remind me why I like cars with 4 doors better than cars with only 2.

I'm cold, and I need caffeine.

Christmas plans: Traveling to West Hickory tomorrow night, going to St Marys Christmas Day. I will be returning to West Hickory Saturday at ~ 5 PM for another family party.

I'm going to get caffeine now. I was going to have hot tea, but I can't find any styrofoam cups and the coffee cup I have at my desk has a science experiment in it. I think it's beginning to develop art...

Merry Yule and Blessed Be!

A Conundrum...

Too many books, not enough time.
I am currently reading Never Have the Same Sex Twice by Alison Tyler, and I just got the newest book in the Eragon series, Brisingr, for Yule from Jeff. I also already know I am getting the first two books in the Twilight series for Christmas from my Mom.

I really want to start Brisingr, but I need to finish Never Have the Same Sex Twice to review it. I want to finish both books by Christmas when I get the Twilight series, which Lace tells me is a very addictive read.

I might have to start getting up earlier...

Jeff and I exchanged our gifts yesterday. We never wait til Christmas because we are running around to see family over those two days anyway. I got Gummi Bears on DVD, Shoot 'Em Up, Brisingr, and a figurine/level counter for Munchkin. Jeff liked his presents. I got him two World of Warcraft books, Cowboy Bebop the movie, and an expansion for Arkham Horror.

Watching CSI, and then having chicken wing soup for dinner!

Merry Part and Blessed Be, and warm Yuletide wishes to all.

Trying something new

I just downloaded Mozilla. My Internet Explorer kept crashing repeatedly.

I am currently watching The Office on TBS. It's very funny, but it bugs me that there's not any background music. I like Pam and Jim. Steve Carrell is funny as hell. I think I would like to rent Get Smart.

Your Thirst Shall Be Quenched

Your thirst for a post that is! And now for something completely different...

"For behold, I am the Mother of all things and My love is poured out upon the earth."

Charge of the Goddess

So Duamuteffe posted some song lyrics that made me think of the Charge, so I looked it up and read it again. This line never fails to move me. When I read this piece, I understand the concept of seeking comfort from your religion, and I find my comfort here.

I am looking forward to Yule/Christmas this year. My brother and his wife will be joining us for Christmas Eve. I have presents for everyone wrapped and ready to go. We went to Ellicottville to buy presents at Kazoo II for our nephew Aidan. I can't wait for more of my extended adoptive family to have kids so I can buy even more fun toys. I love being an aunt!

Tomorrow is our gift exchange amongst the management team for work. Rather than drawing names, everyone is bringing a gift that anyone might like. I think my choice was a good one, we'll see tomorrow. I also made 5 dozen chocolate chip cookies today, 2-3 dozen of which I will bring in tomorrow as well. I hope they are ok, the first batch seemed like it might be a little undercooked. But our cookie are always soft, so it's hard to tell. I think they turned out okay, despite me forgetting to mix the sugars in with the wet ingredients first. Alton would not be proud of me today.

That's all for now folks, Merry Part and Blessed Be, I will try to get in the swing of posting more again.

Also, picture from my Christmas party for those who don't myspace. I wasn't going to post it, but KGunn tagged me on myspace with it, so since people are going to see it anyway...

Isn't it great

How talking to just one person who thinks you're awesome can make your whole day? I am currently at work, drinking a chai latte from our fancy coffee machine. It is pretty good. I am working til 6 today. I really need to try to shave off a couple pounds this week if I want to get into my dress for our Christmas party on December 6th. Of course, I have also considering just ordering the dress I actually want from Pyramid Collection. What do you think?



And of course I just read not available until December 10th.

I am off to pout and look for another alternative. Maybe if I lay on my stomach, I could get the zipper of the dress I have up with plyers...

Such a sap

I just cried over a web comic.


You need to go thru the archive to get the background. Short version, Lilah and Ethan were engaged, she got pregnant, she lost the baby. They were having a rough time, and her smarmy rich ex came along to try to break them up. Ethan followed them to the airport only to find Lilah had come to her senses and remembered all the reasons she dumped that guy to start with. They traded in the ticket he had bought to follow them, and they flew to Jamaica.

Weddings are great. :-)

Working til 10 today, more WoW this weekend as the drive to level 80 continues.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Damn snow, being all slippery and wet

I had fantastic plans today to see my friends in Erie. I was going to start my Christmas shopping, and have lunch, and it would have been awesome.

I say would have been because there is a Lake Effect Snow Warning for all counties from McKean to Erie. I say would have been, because today, I am listening to my gut when it says, stay at home.

Bless Jeff, he didn't say "Don't go." He said, "Make a good decision."

But I feel crappy because I feel like I am letting people down, and I am worried they will be mad at me.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Music Video

I am currently eating Oreos and browsing YouTube for cool music. Here's something cute and funny, even though Jeff says this can't be my song because I have had more sex than anyone else, not the other way around.

I am sure someone has had more sex than me though.



Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Aw, Muffin

You Are a Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin

You are smart, sophisticated, and savvy. You love taking risks, and you are the first to know about new trends. You are curious about the world and tend to have many interests. You also are very talented. It sometimes seems like you are good at everything. You are very social and inclusive. You'll be friends with anyone. Even though you're very cultured, you're not a snob.

What Kind of Muffin Are You?

Cool things to hear

I called my mom tonight, after talking to my brother, and in the background I could hear my little sister yelling and carrying on. I asked Mom what had Keeker (Keely) so excited, and Mom said she was singing along with the Rolling Stones. Then I could hear Keely, plain as day shouting "Honky Tonk Woman!" in the background. I have the coolest little sister. :-)

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(Yeah!) It's the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(Yeah!) It's the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

Dream Blogging

I had a odd dream last night that my manager Tom was leaving and no one knew. We found out last minute and Pam was running around planning a going away party. He was sitting at my desk talking to me and I had to hide my reaction when Pam came around with a list for the party and asked my opinion on it.

Terrible headache this morning, I think I need to take some Sudafed and Tylenol. I am hoping I am not getting my annual sinus infection again.

Our friend Adam is visiting this weekend. We had a good time last night carving pumpkins and playing Arkham Horror. And this year, our pumpkins didn't get smashed.

I hope everyone else had a fun Samhain/Halloween or whatever you want to call it.

Zombie Dreams

I was going to include an awesome screenshot with this post, but WoW is down. Last night I had a dream we were in Eastern Plaguelands killing Scourge. The people in this house were infected and more and more zombies kept spawning. And I was me and not my character, so Khorium Rifle, no Horsemen's Blade, no super cool goggles. I had a rapier I was slashing at them with, while trying not to get infected.

I've got to get the house cleaned up this morning. We have Adam coming this weekend, and it's Halloween :-) Should be a good time.

Maybe I can take the screen shot later.
