Dream Sweet

I've had some vivid dreams lately. No, I'm not pregnant, but I've been remembering a lot of them. Two, in particular, these past two weeks. One, wherein I was a teenager, making out with Kent Boyd from season 7 of So You Think You Can Dance. And the second, wherein I chatted with Jonah from Dakota Skye. We sat on a very stoner-like couch and chatted. Dakota was nowhere in sight. Lucky me.

What's my point? My point is I like sweet boys.

I was chatting with @_ss77_ today who informed me she was dating Channing Tatum in  adream. Seriously? I could go for that dream. Could be promising, but that rarely happens to me because I dream sweet. And nothing's wrong with that. 

And speaking of sweet boys, my ficthisigf entry won three awards. Woot! Will be posting to my profile soon.

For those of you who don't know Kent Boyd . . . you're welcome.

 

For some reason I can't embed this, but this is my favorite of his performances. It's Collide.

It's Official: I'm a Pervert

I'm writing something new -- a witfit, and I'm using prereaders so I don't look like a moron. Well, not too much of a moron. I'm trying to get a bit ahead before posting. Blah, blah, blah. So I was editing last night while watching So You Think You Can Dance when I came across this . . .



Um . . . I have heard of Magic Mike, but I had no idea what it was about or who was in it. Now, I couldn't forget even if I tried. As I was watching, I said aloud, "Yes, please." So, yeah, it's official: I'm a pervert. And I like it!

I abandoned my edits and looked this up! And me likey too. He's adorbs!

 

I posted these both on Twitter because Mom taught me to share when I was young. @MariahajilE sent me this in response, and OMG! So funny.

 

Happy strip club movie, guys! See ya there June 29th! And I should definitely have something up and running on ffn before then. Yay!

Masen Gets More Gifts Than Me

From Rebadams7 . . .2011-10-28 . chapter 11
What a ride,
what a rush
dangerous red shirts
hearts and
half pipes
always the tip
to the great
unknown
except there is a very good reason to land now
Reb

From Ss77 . . .
Chapter 9:
Opening my heart
My words spill
Ridiculous attempts
At apologies
Mom, hair, you, happy
Bella

Chapter 10:
I want to be
Worthy of her
Be the man
She needs
I will prove that
To her
To her father
To myself
Because we love

From Detroitangel . . .
2011-11-04 . chapter 12
You are the future I cannot stay to have.

Never did I think

I would embrace each day

So many rotten ones

Survival used to be awarding.

Now I anticipate

Each moment

Each blush

Each touch

That drives my body to want

To need

Another day with you.

Reward me with sustenance

From your kitchen

From your mind

From your skin, lips, fingertips.

I live each moment and cherish my rewards;

I die each moment knowing

I cannot give much back.

I give you all that I am

Crawl inside

Leave it all in your heart.

2011-11-15 . chapter 14
I've been a shield for so long;

Repelling fists and strong arms.

You throw your heart at me

I'd drop every piece of protection

To grab

To embrace

To keep your love safe.

I can't let you go

Wanting all of you;

My hand in your hair

My mouth on your breast

Every piece of me

Protected inside of you.

From SusanQ who insists that she is Bella and Masen is her boyfriend . . .

Have I mentioned I have the sweetest boyfriend ever? And, I'm going to California with him. I am.

There are Vans (maybe even Cons) everywhere . . .


Looks like Masen and Bella aren't the only ones writing on their Vans . . .



Songs that Remind me of Masen Days . . .

Welcome to The Wedge

Masen Days was a part of Twifictrivia this week (11/8/11), did you know? Question two was: What is the name of the skate park where Edward skateboards in Masen Days by @purelyamuse? Sarabara081 got the correct answer, which is The Wedge. Yay, Sarabara081!

Did you know that The Wedge actually exists? Well, it does, and I've taken a field trip (kids in tow) to take some photographs to share with you. The Wedge is a skate park in Scottsdale, Arizona that is housed within El Dorado Park.


El Dorado Park is really big and full of great amenities. It has soccer and ball fields, two lakes, a running stream, ramadas, playgrounds, riding trails, and the skate park. It's got something for everyone. I've always enjoyed visiting it and still do with my family. If you're ever in Snobstale you should check it out. ;)


When I was a teenager there was no official skate park, but anyone who had a pair of wheels -- bike, roller blades, or skateboard -- went to El Dorado Park to ride/skate under the McDowell bridge. We all called the designated riding/skating area The Wedge. In fact, until I visited the park recently, I thought it was just something that the locals called it -- myself included. I guess I was wrong, or perhaps the locals named the new park. I think that's pretty cool if that's the case.


Now that there's an actual skate park, you don't find many skaters under the bridge. They skate just around the corner in the fancy configurations provided by the state. It's really fun to watch the locals, but I didn't stay for long because the teenagers were giving me and my three children "What the hell are you doing here?" looks. We went to the playground and ate grapes instead. * shrugs*


According to Masen Days there are no actual skating features at The Wedge; they're simply skating under the bridge -- although there are some ramps and rails that can be used as such. So, for the purposes of showing you what Masen and Bella see on a daily basis I welcome you to The Wedge!


 Bella sits up here on the steps or on either wall. 
The trail in front leads down to The Wedge (under the bridge).


This is Bella's view as she watches Masen trick out. 
She could also sit on the ramp just outside the skating area, but she might risk being rolled over there. 

This is The Wedge where Masen skates with his friends. 
It is under McDowell bridge.  
Just to the right is a ramp that runs the length of the bridge.


This is the view from the ramp, showing part of the area where Masen skates. 
A stream runs through all of El Dorado Park, leading to the pond you see just on the opposite side.

Even More Gifts For Masen

 All of these are from @aidan_momma whose been Masen spamming me. I love it! Don't stop! These are a few of my favorites. You may see them again in my picteases...

All of these ones scream golf course to me. Love!
 
  
 

Masen Days was mentioned on The Wayward Pushers on  October 19 and October 22. Just a small blip but sweet nonetheless.

Masen Days was also rec'd here by @smut_wh0res.

I love these poetic reviews from detroitangel! They are so great! 




2011-10-17 . chapter 10 


Pink

Soft

Featherlight touches

Umber

Depth

Adoring glances

Feel her breath on my wrist

On my neck

On my tongue

Give her words

Give her trust

Whatever she'll take from me

Now

detroitangel 2011-10-25 . chapter 11





Nourishing

She feeds my body

My soul

Dirty thoughts

Pens in dirty places

Licks, shared, of frozen treats

Tight, red t-shirt

My Devil

My Angel

Hands and lips and tongue

She can eat me whole.

Masen Days was a part of Twific Trivia on Tuesday 10/18 with this Twifictogram. How cute is this?

If Masen . . . If Bella . . .

I was incredibly bored today and posted an obscene amount of photos on Twitter. They were all in regards to Masen. I loved them so much I thought I'd share them here too. There are more here than I posted on Twitter. And don't be surprised if you see a few of these again. They're some of my favorites.

If Masen was young once . . .

If Bella and Angela messed around on Embry's board . . .

If Bella was desperate enough . . .

If Masen napped at The Wedge . . .

If Masen was depressed . . .

If Bella wanted to look pornographic . . .

If Masen was nervous . . .


If Masen let go . . .

 If Masen stole a kiss . . .

If Masen went for it . . . 

 If Masen was tricksy . . . 

If Masen grew up and got a real job . . .

If Masen married Bella . . .
. . . and they had a wedding party.

If Masen had a son . . . 
. . . or two.

If Masen's son said, "Daddy, I wanna tat-too."

 If Masen was an adventurous dad . . . 

If I had a more interesting life . . . let's not answer that.

More Gifts for Masen

@Modernsafari said, "Saw this and thought of baby Masen." And she bought these (below) for her kid. Tee hee! I'm gonna see if I can find some pink checkered Vans for Babymuse because those are just too cute!

@Sabriel017 said this was Masen. He's got the checkered Vans and he's skating away and everything. Aw.


@modernsafari1 sent this because . . . um, Masen, and um, peanut butter, and um . . . drrrrrooooool!!! Here's how you make it. Let me know if you try it! Yum!

Some reviewers have gotten very creative in their responses to the chapters. They're summoning a Masen vibe . . . I have to share their talents here!

2011-10-11 . chapter 9

Words are always wrong around you

Unspoken expectations that I'll never meet

Trying

Attempting

Needing your acceptance

Blurred lines of my weighted words

Saddened by the loss of your

Looks

Sound

Feel

Soul.

Push me together

Pull me apart

Your eyes seem to control the beat of my heart.

Soft touches make me burn

Simple words make me melt

The absence of your presence nearly breaks me apart.

Review for Masen

Shaky hands as I write

No Vans are in sight

You made me sad

With your fall away

You made me mad

take your wall away

High boy

Fly boy

You better open up

Before she skates away

Reminds me of Masen Days :) @purelyamuse

@Jadapattinson sent this to me. It reminded her of Masen Days. Woot! So swoony!

Music for Masen

Some Twitter tweeps of mine (@MsJaxTeller, @OneBraveLamb, etc) and I have been discussing a playlist for Masen Days. There are some beautiful tunes out there that hone in on the topics covered in Masen and Bella's story. These two particular songs made me weepy. I think of them respectively as Masen and Bella's anthems, so I thought I'd share them with you. I also felt the need to make something pretty to go along with them. I'm putting together a playlist for the fic, so if there's a song that speaks to you and reminds you of our two kiddos let me know in the comments or in your review on Monday. Enjoy! Purely





Broken by Lifehouse

The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time

And I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
**

The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose
They're still looking for life

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
Is there healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you

I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
*And*I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will
I will be okay

Broken lights on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
I haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you

I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you



Beautiful Disaster by Kelly Clarkson


He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world would cave in
It just ain't right
Lord, it just ain't right

Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
He's such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and laughter
Lord, Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
But do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold me tight
Hold me tight

Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
He's such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter

Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy, hysterical
I'm searching for some kind of miracle
Waited so long..
Waited So long.

He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster

Gifts for Masen

Masen is getting gifts. He loves them and I do too, so I thought I'd share them with you all! Enjoy!

The Masen Days feature is up on The Lemonade Stand . It is beautifully done. It makes me want to read my own story. Now that's a good review, right?

This song reminded @AltheaJams of Bella when she was sleeping in Masen's sweater. It's so funny. Give it a look!
