Rough one, this week. CONFESSION: Saying goodbye sucks ass. I will miss Thomas, Josh and Amanda.

This has recently been brought to my attention… CONFESSION: Every time I revise a/o edit, I watch these three things repeatedly. 1) Alien 2) Buffy, Season 1 3) Galaxy Quest This apparently drives Emma and my entire family nuts. You’d think they’d be used to it by now — Every time I go on a cleaning binge, either Drop Dead Gorgeous, Mean Girls or Clueless is on the DVD player. Hmm… I think there’s a pattern there, somewhere.

It’s funny how many twists and turns Fantasy Heights has taken behind the scenes. A lot of stuff got pitched and brainstormed and sometimes even story-boarded, but then tossed out for whatever reason. CONFESSION: At one time, the climax of season 1 was going to be Amanda finding out she was a DriveRate operative with created memories. Darren was her ‘programmer’. He incorporated Shelley and the wedding into Amanda’s treatment to keep her vulnerable to him.

Jesus. How did it get to be Wednesday? Anyway… CONFESSION: I sing to my pets. Mixed results. Two of the cats flee in terror. The other cat (of the persistent monitor intrusion) tries to stick her head into my mouth. The dog, of course, thinks I am a rockstar.

I never really understood irrational fear until two years ago, when I happened across a picture on one of the I Can Has Cheezburger blogs. It showed a foot sporting a pedicure with long toenails. I wigged. (And no, don’t even ask me to post a link. I’d rather punch a kitten in the face than go looking for that picture.) To this day, in the summer, you won’t catch me looking lower than someone’s knees, just in case they might have froufrou toenails.

CONFESSION: I use cartoony covers for FH because, during early development, I thought the series/serial format would work sorta like comic books. I’ve never written — and never will write — a superhero fantasy because of the laugh-until-your-sides-and-face-ache editing sessions where we dreamed up ‘sexual superhero’ powers for all the characters.

Confession(s): I stayed up way too late last night watching Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. Also, I get really bitchy if there is no fat-free skim milk for my morning coffee. I’m sure those two confessions are in no way related. o.O

Sorry. Yesterday was a blur, trying to get ATQM’s ready for its close-up. Confession: I have not yet read Fifty Shades. /hangs head in shame Deplorable, I know. It will be near the top of the reading list once episode 9 is put to bed.
