Living Backwards

So I'm eating my oatmeal with sliced banana this morning and I realize this isn't gonna last. Because I have taken my gooshy-food phase out of sequence. Which means by the time I'm eighty I will definitely be breakfasting on steak and corn on the cob. I have pondered the practical details of this dealie, and here's how I figure I'm gonna solve the molars-worn-to-a-nub problem.

What funky fun are you planning for your old age?

Nice! That is quite the photo. I don't have any funky fun planned for my old age, except if I go around reciting that poem about when I'm an old lady I shall wear purple, my husband has instructions to shoot me in the head. I will also not be carrying tissues in my pockets. I will have a super cool clutch that I carry them in.

I've just got the simple plan of being a cantakerous old so and so. I'll be able to go out in my slippers, shove my way to the front of a queue and if anyone objects I say that my time is more valuable as I might die whilst queuing. LOL

Other than that I think my plan is to make death work damn hard to get me, and when I finally meet the reaper, I'm gonna spit in his eye socket and see if the reaper does indeed have a male reproductive system by trying to kick him in the nuts as well as take that damn sythe off the old bag of bones and give ol Grim what he's been giving everyone else all these years.

I am going to buy a candy apple red 68 Mustang and fly down the highway listening to my favorite tunes on whatever format is cool then.

Good plan, CJ. I keep telling everybody our generation has never been old, so freaking watch out. The wrinkly years are about to get real cool!

All excellent choices, Falcata. My best to you!

Big ol' stadium full of applause for that idea, Vickie!

My goal in life is to be the cranky lady with 80 cats. That crazy old Aunty whom everbody tolerates because they're hoping to get a share of her fortune when she dies, regardless of how bitchy she is to them while she still breathes.

I may be an Aunty that can be cranky sometimes (usually at stupid people, but that's a story for a whole other comment), but I still have a long way to go since I have no fortune to speak of and I only have one cat (one down, 79 to go). I'll get there eventually I'm sure.

It's important to set goals for oneself!

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin

Excerpt time!

Since I missed my regular posting day--argh!--I'm popping in to steal Kari's day. Well, okay, Kari has a power outage so I'm taking her day, but believe me, I would totally steal it otherwise. And, because I'm just in that kind of mood, I'm going to post an excerpt from the fourth Downside book, SACRIFICIAL MAGIC, which will be released on March 27, 2012. (And wait till you guys see the cover!) The blurb: READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting

Heeeyyy, everyone! For those who have no clue who I am, I'll keep this short. My name's Dakota Cassidy, and I write fluffy (like lightly whipped fluffy), humorous paranormals for Berkley Sensation. Mark Henry invited me to join the League after I threatened heinous acts of violence against his person, involving my stilettos and an old can of Aqua Net. After much resistance, and the utter ruination of a sassy pair of red pumps, here I am :) In celebration of my forced entry... er, induction to the League--I got booty for ya :) Here's what I'm in for, and this is what ya gotta do--post in the comments section. Just say hello--that's it :) That enters you in the contest for... A signed copy of the second book in my Accidental series,   Accidentally Dead , but that's not it. I'll buy TWO books--winner's choice--written by any of the authors here on the League. That means you could win books by Caitlin Kittredge, Jaye Wells, that meanie-butt Mark Henry, Miche
