Yesterday for me was what one might call “brittle.” Blame it on the weather (more snow…believe it or not), the temperature (one degree Fahrenheit…I kid you not) and a bit of a spat with a friend (which we will not discuss). My intent was to work up a storm, whispering filthy, dirty things into the ears of good boys trying desperately to be bad. To do it over and over and over again.
Alas, my self-indulgent mood-spasm got in the way and I did no such thing. Instead –which isn’t such a bad thing for me and my “bigger life picture”– I attended to a lot of fringe personal and fringe professional stuff that had been floating around, yet weighting me down.
A few items of good news, so let me catch you up, okay?
First: SuperVert, who is an official Zen Savant (Deviant Savant) and very good friend, did a New Year’s eve blog entry for the loners out there (of which I was one) and mentioned the gauntlet I threw down during the holidays. Did you know that I am the first and only “official” Phone Sex Operator his site PervScan has ever had? Do you know how special that makes me feel? How grateful? How lucky? How blessed? Because Mr. Vert is simply divine in every way, dontcha know?
Then: Coming soon to an Amazon.com near you: A poem (I Love You With All of my Hard-On), a short story (Mary’s Queer) and two of my essays (Do I Need a New Job or What? and Please Pass the Egg Nog: Pornography or Porn-not-graphy?) are going to be featured in a new Sex Kitten book, to be published this spring, Riding the Knot in Our Collective Shorts: A collection of rants and erotica. So a lady can get pissed and then have masturbatory make-up sex. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? I can’t wait to read it myself!
And: Thanks to a loyal reader/caller who kindly pointed me in the proper direction, else I might have missed this one. The edgy, progressive and hip sex-zine, Fleshbot actually blogged my blog in one of their ultra-cool Sex Blog Roundups! This particular Roundup, subtitled Pornified Edition (proving I am not the only one to make up words to fit my mood, need, or intent), was courtesy of Chelsea Girl who happens to be a mighty fine writer with a blog of her own, pretty dumb things. I’ve added her to my links under Hot Blogs, because she is a phenomenal writer. She dresses it down as every day prose, but don’t let her fool you…her words are pure poetry. Check her out, because there just might be a test. And with that test there just might be a surprise.
So there you have it: While a bit of personal and professional detritus has been taken care of and life is a bit lighter now, I’m still basically snowed in. Since it’s cold enough to freeze your coochie off, I’m burning logs in my fireplace. Deviant Savant is wonderful as always. I’m about to be published in a real book for a second time. And I’ve been officially “pornified” by FleshBot.
One more thing: I found the coolest Erica Jong quote which I’ve added to Zen Wisdom…
xo, Angela
Congrats on the Fleshbot notice ~ I’ve been to Chelsea’s often, so that’s double points for cool. 😉
I’m just glad to know you are alive. Oh, and not the friend you’re upset with. (Too terrible for words, that!)
With much affection,
Gracie
PS The book would not be as cool without your words, m’love. 🙂
But, Gracie, what about the Jong quote? Funny, huh?
Yay for you, Angie on all!!! There is nobody I know anymore deserved of the recognition…anywhere!
And, the Jong quote…LMAO, you already know how I feel about that!

Congtrats, Miss Angela. All good news. In the meantime would you like for me to come dig you out of all that snow?
It won’t be long until we will be reading your writing, Angela, not in anthologies, but in books of your own! Congratulations on the coming publication – and on all the other recognition you are so deservedly receiving. But we, of course, knew it all along.
Deviant Savant’s link to your challenge reminded me, Mistress, that I had accepted it. When shall we try? If I win, can I have an autographed copy of your new book? It would be the treasure in my library.
Nice stuff, Angie. 2007 is off to a great start for you. It seems like everyone is just discovering you! Where has the world been? I’ll watch you blossom with awe and admiration.
Women riders sukk! Pass the tweezers; godda pee.
PS Love your intellect, creativity, sensuality and spirit, Angela.
The nice thing about having Angela featured somewhere on the web is that she tells us about it, so we go to the linked sites and find surpring and interesting content. So we come back to zenfetish to get other links and then we explore them. So others on the web come to understand that they can attract traffic by praising Angela…which leads us to investigate those sites…
No wonder I can’t get any work done!
Congratulations on the kudos. You da Woman!
Creative genius, generosity of spirit and red hot sensuality are but a few of the talents that will continue to propel our Angela into the spot light. Thank you for the links, but I always come “home”.
I don’t know how it took me so long to find this fine, fine compliment, but thank you very much indeed. I’m happy I could Bot you, and I do hope it’s still bringing you some happy traffic even now that the Bot’s freshness has faded.
kissykiss,
chelsea girl
[…] So why don’t we start with Chelsea, who–while not an official girlfriend of mine (I’m kinda Midge to her Barbie)–is certainly someone I admire and even–I admit it–envy. Not in the Green Monster kinda way, but in the Oh My Goddess of Ink, Quill and Parchment kinda way. Because this Brilliant Babe has been blessed by the Keyboard Gods with Kinky Fingers and writes so exquisitely about naughty things, I once said this about that: She dresses it down as everyday prose, but don’t let her fool you…her words are pure poetry.
