“the fact of the matter is this: cavalry charges make me horny.“

• Mad Madam M

The Mad Madam M (check out her blog to read more) revealed a stunning truth to me the other day via the telephone. One that even I, her bestest bud, did not know — that cavalry charges in movies make her little heart go pitter patter and her thighs quiver. (I made that last bit up, but she did say horny!) And then she mocked me about my post from a few days ago about my weird dream and all the comments I received about Matt Showalter’s cheeky pants.

**Mad Madam M calls me ChickLit on her blog because she got tired of referring to me as “C.” She refuses to call me Crystal and she got wildly jealous that I came up with a spiffy code name for her when she hadn’t reciprocated. We’re competitive like that. I like ChickLit, even though I write romance.

This titillating look at the inner workings of my best friend came up when she watched the charging scene in Kingdom of Heaven — a movie she doesn’t even like! Ah, well. There’s at least one movie where we all want to rip Orlando Bloom’s clothes off, right? (I still love Brad Pitt best, though!)

For my quarter-century birthday, I intend to introduce the Mad Madam M (best bud from college) to the indomitable Sqveege (aka- the girl who got me through Cataloguing in library school). They’re both archivists and they both looooove movies. I sense a whole lot of love coming on or a deep and abiding hate. I want love for my birthday ladies, make it happen!
