So I was at my bowling league last night (Yes, I know. I bowl competitively. I will defend myself in a later post) and I was about to try for my spare when I heard my friend say, "I like Christmas because I watch all the movies I don't usually watch during the rest of the year, like Die Hard."
What the hell is she talking about?
So I ask her if it is the same movie I am thinking of. Terrorsists is a high rise, Bruce Willis half-naked, running barefoot over broken glass to save the day.
Lets pause a moment to reflect on "Half-naked Bruce Willis" shall we?
Yipee Ki Yeah Motherfucker!
So anyway, she makes the point that it takes place on Christmas Eve and the bad guys crash a Christmas party, and there musical score is all souped-up christmas music, and the point that one man ( even if it is Bruce) saved the day is a miracle.
Holy shit she has a point. Die Hard is a Christmas Movie.
Yeah, and Amityville Horror is a family film

Six Weird Things About Me
A while back my friend Kari tagged me to reveal six wierd things about me. My response? Only six? Here are my top six, at least today.
1)I always think there is something deathly wrong with me. In the past year alone, I think I have had every neurological illness on the books and some I have just made up on my own. My theroy is that my life is too perfect and my luck has to run out at some point.
2)I am really attached to my mother. If I don't at least talk to her once a day, I miss her.
3) The Abomable Snowman in "Ruodolf The Rednose Raindeer" scares the shit out of me. I laughed at Cujo at age eight when I watched it with a babysitter. But for some reason a fake guy made out of snow disturbs my sleep.
4)I love Guacamole. I eat it all the time. My dream is to own an alvacado farm in South America.
5)I hate smelling like food. For example, if I am cooking a big dinner and I can smell in in my hair, I will wash it before I sit down to eat. I also hate tasting it after I am done. I am contstantly brushing my teeth.
6)I sleep with the TV on. I leave it on Nik at Nite so when I wake up to pee, I watch a little Rosanne before falling back to sleep. Sometimes if I fall asleep to a movie on Cinamax I wake up to porn. Needless to say my hubby doesn't mind my habit.
So I am wierd. Yeah me!

It's Finished! Let It Go!
I am working on this epic manuscript that is longer than a day spent with my mother-in-law and I just can't seemed to declare, Done! Whats with me? I want it to be done. I am quite sick of it actually, but why can't I let this manuscript go?
Now I am to the point of procrastination which is probably just as bad becasue then I really won't ever finish. Now I am not even making ense, which makes it good that i am not working on my manuscript right now in the first place.
Am I speaking English/ I think I'll go wtach TV. My brain is too fried to do anything esle

Like a Virgin... I'm talking RWA Conventions Perv!
It was my first time, and like any virgin, I was nervous. Would I like it? Would I do it right? Did I smell okay? Did I wear the right underwear? Fortunately for me I was going with three very experenced conventioners. Welcoming? Hell yes!
And possibly the craziest coolest women I have ever met!
You ever have the perfect martini? All the elements are there, Vodka, Vermouth, lemon twist... They all work in perfect tandem and when you take a sip... yum taste orgasm. Thats what Jen-T, Kari -T and Barb-W are! Together they are the perfect combination. I felt like the olive, an unnessasary garnish, but fit in just fine!
Hmm... first I'm a virgin, now I am an Olive. Leave it to a lack of sleep and a Dramamine induced coma to mix my metaphores.
Where the hell was I?
Oh yes, my new girls. we are comming up with a name. In my head, I am already calling us the "The Smack Pack" for two reasons . (1) We all like to talk and (2) We all apprechaite "good people" and would smack the hell out of somebody who wasn't. Thats what I like about this crew. Kind, supportive, but doesn't take shit from anyone. Even Barb, who is probably the most gentlest person I have ever met, told me a road rage story about how she "f-bombed" and flipped some guy off on the road the other day with her mom in the passenger seat.
I love multi dementional characters!
I also dug how supportive everyone was. Not catty, not underhanded. Cool, very talented ( Kari won the PUT YOUR HEART IN A BOOK award), and god damn could they dance. (Jen-T missed her calling as a tour dancer for Christina Agullerra. If she isn't on the bestseller list in a year a two, I am glad she has something to fall back on.) And sing too! You never heard a better kerioke version of "What I Like About You!" We brought out the best in each other. Hell, we even are coolaberating on a project.
I have lots more to say about the convention, but the truth is I am still stoned on Dramaine from the drive home. This Virgin is worn out! My first time was so great, I am already thinking about the next time.
"Cakes' the Convention Whore!
Or wait..Am I still an Olive?

Call Me Patty
So this is my first post, and this is your first visit here (I would think), so already we have something in common. Chances are you stopped by because you have an interest in Romance novels and the people who write them. In that case, I will tell you a little about myself. I am a married mother of two from Rochester, NY. I love all things athletic, the musical stylings of Billy Joel, and cheesy eighties television. I have been writing in the nonfiction genre since I graduated college, and just recently started writing romance fiction. My book "Love Game" will be released in the summer of 2007 with Triskelion Publishing. So, now that we are acquainted, I should let you know that I have a few "reading guidelines" when it comes to my blog.
1) I enjoy attitude. I write with it, my characters ooze it, and I think life is much more interesting when you have it. If I have an opinion about something, I will let you know it, and I respect the hell out of yours.
2) I don't like the self-important musings of authors who think they are the next Hemmingway. I won't bore you with the logistics of my writing processes, nor will I won't offer advice unless you ask for it.
3) It's fun to be funny. My two favorite people in the world are George Carlin and Robin Williams. If that doesn't tell you about my personality, I don't know what will.Thanks for dropping by! Hope to see you again!
