Some Mushy Stuff, and 99 Followers?!

So I don't normally blog this much in one week, but my friend Ranee' S. Clark is doing a really fun blog countdown to V-Day, and yesterday she featured me! I got to share two of my favorite romantic scenes from literary sources - either from a book I've read, a movie based on a book, or a scene from any of my own books. The funny part is, I don't consider myself a romance writer, but I did have something to share, and it wasn't the kiss scene from Cobalt that I shared here a few days ago! Seems like I'm getting all kinds of mushy lately, but that's okay. I need to get over all the blushing and squirming whenever I even think of writing something romantic, because there'll probably be more kissing in Cobalt. I have another dark fantasy idea after this that will probably get a little mushy. And in the third book of the Moongate series, there will definitely be some faces smushing together - in first person narrative no less, instead of secondary characters like in Cobalt - so I'd better get all that blushing over with early!

Check out Ranee's countdown on her blog, starting with her first post featuring romantic little moi! And have a look below at some of my favorite romantic pairings of all time. Only a couple are book-based though, because I need pictures for my blog, and the movies and TV shows are where that's at. *Grammar Nazi shudder* And keep reading after the pics, because I have a few more tidbits at the end!

Really, does this surprise you at all?

Ron & Hermione's romance was very sweet, and long-awaited.

The Doctor/Rose. Rip-your-heart-out, tear-inducing bittersweetness!
But their kiss scene was about 30 seconds way too short.

ERGASFSDFSFKLFBLRGGH!!!!
That's the sound of my impatience in waiting for this movie.



I like cartoons, all right? And this was a dang good cartoon, so shut up.

Well, looky here. Who's that cute girl, and the slightly effeminate but adorable guy with a huge chip on his shoulder? Might they be a couple of characters I mentioned in Ranee's blog?

Well, earlier today I was poking about my dashboard and my butt fell off the chair when I realized I'd made it to 99 followers!!1! I said to Lia, "Holy crap, I'm at 99 followers! 99 followers I am at, crappy hole!" And then we both froze and kinda looked at each other, and I mumbled something about totally not intending for it to come out that way, and we never spoke to each other about it again.

But. 99 followers, holy crap! I should do some kind of thingy to push that number over 100, but I have no idea what. So here's a poll. It'll expire on V-Day, because I said so.


And that's about enough nonsense for one post, I think. G'day lovelies!

    1. This is a restaurant in my town that's been closed for a while. It's not up for sale, but it should be!

  2. Yay 99 followers! Also, I'm in love with Peeta Mellark (but really just Josh Hutcherson). We could have some attractive children. Just saying.
