I Slacked Off, My Bad! - Comments

@ heretic.
Haha, well at least you had the guts to let it touch you! Well done! I don't have a fear of spiders, but I still wouldn't be over-joyed at the thought of holding a tarantula. Haha.

I like that. Gives a bit more suspense... keeps us almost as blind and naieve as Tess

@ Damsel Of Darkness
That's exactly what he would do, he's sneaky like that! Haha. Well, I eventually caved and let her walk across the back of my hand, but I was freaking out the entire time! It's the same feeling as when a tattoo gun scrapes across your bone, feels weird!

I'm thinking of not giving away as many details about Brian's behaviour as I did before. Like, with his bet with Jimmy, maybe have him just whispering with Jimmy in a corner somewhere? I don't know.

@ heretic.
Haha, be careful making any bets with him in the near future. I'm sure he'll probably use that as his wager then do anything he can to win said bet. Hahaha. Or if you so choose, at least make it as worth your while as possible! Hahaha.

Ohhh, it's sounding very interesting!

@ Damsel Of Darkness
Slowly...hahaha. The idiot put all the crickets in a bucket this morning though, to clean out the container they're in, and a few of them jumped out. Found one in the shower earlier He keeps asking me to let it crawl across my hand, not a chance! XD

Well, the baby will the the straw to break the camel's back. This mini bomb will lead into the big bomb that the new prologue is describing

@ elizabeth bathory.
Haha, well unfortunately for you, he did get it... have you gotten used to it yet?

Yes. Hahaha. Oohhh! Really? That's interesting.... tell me more. I'm listening/reading!

@ Damsel Of Darkness
Yes, they do. Carl's a big softie, really Although, I'm not his biggest fan right now. He's decided to get a pet tarantula I'm hoping he'll change his mind, though!

Yeah, the not so great surprises - like the pet spider idea - aren't good at all XD

Is that a not so subtle hint for me to divulge all my secrets? I have new ideas now, better ideas, I think. I hope! Haha. I will give you a hint..there will be a baby involved, but the baby won't be born

@ heretic.
Haha, most of the are. They all have their soft spots

It's always good when they surprise us... In good ways, preferably. Hahaha.

That really sucks. Maybe next time you should just share your ideas with me, so that if this ever happens again, I can be your back up....

@ Damsel Of Darkness
Yeah, for all the bravado and sass, he's a good boy underneath. Haha.

He did! :D Yeah, who knew? Hahaha.

I lost them all I had some really good ideas, too, but I can't remember any of them

@ heretic.
Well so he should! Haha. But I'm glad to hear he stepped up and took good care if you. It's nice to know when you need them, they come through :)

Awesome presents! He did well Turns out he's more thoughtful than we thought

Well... Considering your laptop issues, I assume you lost all those ideas?

@ Damsel Of Darkness
I think he redeemed himself over the last few weeks, he's been looking after me without any complaint at all. I know, I was shocked, too, hahaha. He's been the model boyfriend over the last few weeks, waiting on me hand and foot!

It was! I got an A7X dog tag (I've always wanted one for some reason, haha)and a charm necklace with a large silver cross and two charms attached which have pictures of Jimmy and the deathbat on them. It's really sweet! I'll have to take a picture of it. Oh, and he pre-ordered WTF resurrected for me, too! :D

I did manage to write them all down, thankfully, but now I have no idea what to do with them haha. I have the pre-bombs and the bombs all planned out, as well as the end game, I just don't know how to get there! Haha.

@ heretic.
I know, right?! Pfft, everything my butt! And it was for his mum... She asked him and he still tried to pass it off. Men are just ridiculous sometimes!

Ooh! I hope it's something good! But I'm sure it will be

That's good. It's always a good feeling to put yourself back on track when it comes to writing. I hope you can get then written down before you forget them :;wink2: hahahaha

@ Damsel Of Darkness
It is, but if we complain, they accuse us of nagging. Can't win! Like earlier, Carl's mum asked him to go downstairs and make her a cup of tea. He just looks at me and expects me to do it, umm, how about no? Even if I could move, I still wouldn't. He complained then and mumbled about having to do everything. Jesus Christ!

They came in the mail today, so I know it's something he's ordered online

I've been going through my bookmarks and reading through the writing tips and tricks I saved a while a go, I feel much better about the story now. I have a clear goal and a, hopefully good, plot, lots of ideas! I just need to write them now, hahaha.

@ rachthebat.
It's shit, hey? They're just lazy and we're expected to be okay with that... It's the same with Rob. The only reason I ever get cards is because I remind him myself. Even then, there's no guarantee. It's frustrating because it's such a basic thing to do and yet they can't manage it...

I hope he did well and you have an awesome birthday!

Haha, well it's a start!

@ Damsel Of Darkness
I've given up waiting for Carl to do something spontaneous and romantic for our anniversary, I still have to remind him when it is. He reckons he doesn't believe in Valentines Day, but I just think he can't be bothered to get me anything I haven't had a card off him for the last three years! Apparently, he's got me a necklace and something A7X related, so I'm excited to see what he's got me! :D

That's as organised as I get, haha, I haven't written anything else XD

@ rachthebat.
What?! Come on, Carl! You can at least make a bit of effort for your woman's birthday! That's shitty. I'd have been pissed if Rob did that too... Honestly, part of me wouldn't be surprised though. Our anniversary is at the end of the month and I've made it clear that I want effort made. He can plan it for once and I want him to treat it like it matters. Unlike our last valentines which was beyond crap... I didn't see him til 11pm (mind you he had the day off work) and I didn't even get a lousy card. Men!

Yay! Go you! I wish I could say the same. I need to quit slacking off. Haha.

@ Damsel Of Darkness
Exactly the same as Carl, he just assumes that I'll be there every night. He pissed me off again earlier, too. Haha. He has a gift for it, I swear. I had to remind him that my birthday is next week, and he just threw some money over and told me to get myself a card. What? I don't think so, buddy! I told him to get off his ass and get me an epic present, or there's no birthday sex happening! Hahaha.

Well, I've been busy all night, beavering away at my keyboard and pre-writing! :D I have two chapters ready to go, and three quarters of a chapter for NB!

@ rachthebat.
Oops! Forgot to tag you!

Rob does it too. It really seems as though he doesn't realise half the stuff I do for him... And if he does, he's at the point where it's just expected, instead of appreciated, y'know? Like he'll thank me every night for making dinner, but every night it's straight up assumed that I will do it. He expects that I'll go cook dinner while he sits on his butt and plays Xbox. And for the most part that is okay, coz I don't work and he does... But on his days off, it'd be nice if he cooked for me once in a while or even offered to help. I think when I go home he'll realise how much I do do... At least I hope so. Maybe we both need to give it a try!

That's what I said! I reminded him that he was more than capable of reading and he didn't need me to hold his hand. Haha.

That's okay.. I'm sure that will just drive us to harass you for the next one!

@ Damsel Of Darkness
That's my biggest bug bear with Carl, he takes me for granted, all the time! One day, I might just not go to his house and stay at home for a few days. I wonder how long it would take him to realise I'm not there, haha.

Haha, oh bless him. Carl can use the oven, just about. He'll still ask me how long something needs to be cooked for, at what temperature. I'm like, just read the instructions on the box? XD

I think everyone will hate me for the way I finish this chapter..hahaha.

@ rachthebat
Well played! Serves him right. Haha. Sometimes these boys really take us for granted... They never seem to notice all the little things we do for them and show a little appreciation for them.

I made him make dinner. Well, sort of. He was supposed to cook but then ended up just making stuff you can heat in the oven. And I ended up having to help because I got the "I dunno how much... I dunno this.. I dunno that."

Yay!
