Thursday Thirteen
Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Okay, I’m doing this officially this week. So, have fun. Enjoy. And have a loverly Thursday!

Thirteen Things I Intend to Do at RWA Nationals

1. Get a picture of Shelli Stevens’ boobs. (I already have one from last year)

2. Hump Lillian Feisty’s leg on the dance floor.

3. Make R.G. Alexander sing karaoke all by herself.

4. Spank Eden Bradley, but only on one cheek because she hates to be uneven. Mwah ha ha!

5. Steal Loribelle Hunt’s camera and get a picture of her for once.

6. Kiss Lacy Danes on the lips because it’s not fair that only Eden got to last year.

7. Not get drunk. I am limited to only one drink per night, so no one gets a picture of me singing karaoke by myself while flashing my ta-tas.

8. Kick Emma Petersen if she snores because she’s my roommate and I’m a light sleeper. If that doesn’t work, I will resort to more drastic measures to ensure peaceful slumber. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

9. Stuff manuscript pages under a bathroom stall at an agent or editor in an effort to sell my book. I think it’s an urban legend that that ever happened, and I want it to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

10. Pitch my book to an editor or agent and be so impressive they’ll offer be a million dollar contract and beg me to write a forty book series a la Wheel of Time.

11. Short sheet Cassidy Kent/Jax Crane’s bed. It’ll have to be very short sheeted because she’s on the mini-me side of life.

12. Run like hell from Kristen Painter when she realizes I’ve slipped past her wicked defenses to short sheet the mini-me’s bed.

13. Moon Gemma Halliday when she wins the RITA award for her novel Spying in High Heels. At first I said Eden and I would flash our ta-tas at her, but I realized it won’t work with the dress I’m wearing. Thus, I will simply have to moon her.

    I’ll be there to help make some of these come true. In the meantime, here’s a TRUE story from last year’s National. During a publisher party, my roommate followed the editor into the bathroom and waited until she was in the stall with her pants down before saying, “Now that I’ve got you where I want you, let me pitch my next ms to you…”

    They both had a good laugh, and while the editor did request the ms, my roommate sold it elsewhere.

    OMG!! I’m cracking up!

    You’re too funny Crystal… But what’s scary, is I think you could actually do at least half of that list. And that is truly a worrisome fact! LOL

    It’s the other half that makes me wonder what you drank at the LAST RWA conference. *wink*

    Hugs and love honey.

    How the heck are you going to do all that stuff sober?
    Well I suppose short sheeting the beds, pitching great to an agent and running from Kristen will require a clear head.
    Getting a picture of Shelli’s boobs? You may have to drink WITH her.
    I’m waiting with great anticipation to see the results of this little road trip.

    And if anyone does get the pic in #7, make sure you share. Forget the pic, go for a video clip.

    Great list!

    “Spank Eden Bradley, but only on one cheek because she hates to be uneven. Mwah ha ha!” – that’s so damn funny! I was going to tell you to hook up with Lila Dubois who emailed me a photo of the riding crop she just got for her conference – but she’s going to RT in April, not RWA in July.

    Makes me almost wish I was going to Dallas! (But one trip to TX per year is my quota and I’m going to RT.) ;-)

    But I have to just say, Cassidy Kent’s not THAT short. I mean, sure, she’s shorter than me and I’m average height (5’5″), but she’s not in munchkinland or anything. LOL. You made her sound like a midget! LMAO!!!

    She probably just under 5’0, so she’s not exactly tall.

    Exhibit A: http://romancedivas.com/RWA%202005/Jax_Kristen.jpg

    Jax and her bodyguard Kristen Painter.

    heh, the bathroom stall one actually isn’t an urban legend. It happened to Marsha Zinberg at Harlequin. She spoke to my editing class a million years ago and told that story.

    I’d like to get through RWA National without any awkward social moments. I’d also like to keep my ta-tas to myself. They’re not as perky as they used to be and shouldn’t be subjected to the reality of being has-beens. ;)

    With enough alcohol, no social moment is awkward. And, hey, at least yours are has-beens. Mine are never-weres.

    I feel like an old married woman jealous of her college friends on spring break! I haven’t had anyone want a pic of the old ta-tas since that last x-ray years ago. Hubby in Iraq doesn’t count. I wouldn’t want anyone short standing near when I unhooked the bra…might put a knot on someones head as they unroll!
