Terra, apparently the great randomizer heard your pleas while ignoring Elly's! :giggle: So feel free to start us off whenever you're ready. Who would you like to bite first? :vampire2:

*gnaws on Cherie's wrist*

:giggle:

Tell me about it. Sowwie. Hey, I didn't wind up too well off either. And poor GateGypsy, what a way to welcome her to swapping huh? Way at the bottom like that!! :whip:

Though I'm sure terra, Lemon and Rosie are ticked PINK. And Appa was first last time.... what's SHE doing near the top again??!! I think she's got a "thing" going with Mr. Randomizer on the side!! :wink:

BTW, so this officially doesn't start until tomorrow Friday night/Saturday morning, but Terra if you decide to start and ask for a reveal early, you might want to look for someone who's already done their reveal and sent it out.

But otherwise, y'all better have your reveals ready and out by midnight Friday (eastern time) or you get a little of this :whip: :whip: :grin:

The randomizer HATES me. I have been at the bottom for everything lately. :angry:

Bad RANDOMIZER!! :bash: :bash:

I think it has moods. Around the 4th quarter of last year, I was in the bottom 4 for like 3 or 4 swaps in a row over the course of 2 -3 months. Then all of a sudden, Mr. Randomizer must've forgiven me for whatever it was I did to piss it off and got back in its good graces again.

So at least look at it this way, you're paying your dues, the upturn has gotta be right around the corner. You think?!! :rolleyes:

I sure hope so. I'm tired of waiting so long for my turn. Especially during the audio CD swap. For so few players, that was the slowest. swap. ever.


P.S. If ya'll start early, don't pick me to reveal, 'cause I'm not sure yet what my reveal is going to be. And I'm going to the zoo tomorrow, so I'll be out most of the day. :D

:yikes:

:blink:

...

I'm... LAST?!?!

Wow, and I thought that whole paying homage to the randomizer thing was just adorable superstition!

pardon me whilst I go chew myself out for not taking the cue from the more experienced players! :rant:

:lol:

Hmmm 8th is good...I will honour the radomizer and sacrifice a kid today in work :rofl:

:bounce: We're starting and I'm in a good spot in the lineup.

Ok, ok I will send out my reveal now. :silly:

My fave spot is in the middle, but being towards the end lets you make some fantastic out of the game steals on occasion! ;)

Yep! I actually MUCH prefer being in the "late middle"! Being in the first few, you either repeatedly have your book stolen OR you have a book that never gets stolen and you have to sit and watch while everyone else plays - that's what's happened to me in the last few swaps I've been in - hope this one is different! :)

You two just like being sandwiched! :whip: I do too. :whistle:

GMTA!!! :whistle: Ooooh, nothing I like better than a CHEESY sandwich - all warm and melty!!!! :hug:

I've just sent my reveal to cheesy, Cherie, and Brat! :)

Okay! Reveal is sent!!! Get going! :whip:

Oh and you gals better be offering something I don't have yet :giggle: :whistle:

Okay, okay I'll get this started. :evil: Just sent out my reveal.

Amberkatze would you please reveal. :drool:

I have one that is not on your BC shelf, so hopefully you have not read it yet. :whistle:

Will be sending my reveal out after work.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin



Book Description

Vayl is the CIA's top assassin. A master of black ops, he has never failed. He's also a 291-year-old vampire. Assigned to protect Vayl, if such a formidable creature can be said to require protection, is Jasmine Parks - 'Jaz' to her friends. But Jaz has got problems - and not just the run-of-the-mill ones you'd expect from someone whose job consists of putting her life on the line for an undead assassin. She hasn't had sex in god knows how long, so Vayl's almost overpowering vampire charisma is making it increasingly difficult for her to keep their relationship ...professional. Her personal life is a long line of missed birthdays and Christmases, and lies and excuses to her family. And then there's that other thing: the blackouts. See, there's times that Jaz can't account for and things that happen in those times that Vayl - not to mention the CIA - may not appreciate. And if they find out, Jasmine knows it won't just be her contract that's terminated ...

Lemonitsa, you're up! Would you like to steal from terra or go for some fresh blood? :vampire2:

Oh! I have a good position! :dance2: :pepper: :dance3:

I'll send out my reveal when I get home. :D

I will get to my reveal in just a few mins. I have to run out shopping for a bit this afternoon, but otherwise should be home all day.

I do have a birthday party to attend tomorrow afternoon. I will do my best to leave usable moves for that. If my moves can't be used and I'm not around I'll leave Cherie as my book-tourney, she has a pretty good grasp of what I like. :wink:

Off to get my reveal ready.

I am going out for the evening...I doubt I will be back till morning so you could end up waiting on me!

Sorry in advance!

I bet we don't get that far so fast, there's much potential for stealing before they get to you ;)

My reveal is out, My siggie is up to date, and I'm off to get my shopping done. I should be back in an hour or two. Till then - Play Nice! :rofl:

Amber's reveal looks really good. I have that coming from PBS soon hopefully. ;)

I've sent my reveal out. Now I'm going to take a nap. I'll check in when I wake up.

Checking in and going to bed ;)

Eep! I've been excited about this all week and then last night and today I forgot about it. :doh:

I'll try to get my reveal info together and decide on some moves. I'm auditing a class tonight and the I teach classes all morning tomorrow so once I sign off tonight (around 6:30 CST) I probably won't be able to get on again until Saturday afternoon.

I am glad that Pepper is in a good position for Lemmy! :shedevil: HEHEHHEHE!

Oh, and the randomizer just likes me because I'm the one who posted the link to it in the first place. :whistle:

I just received that book in the mail from Amber today! :pepper:
(Was confused at first till I realized she had a dupe.)

I'm looking forward to reading this series as I've heard a lot of good stuff about it. *wonders if we ever got the series up on the Upcoming Releases thread* :hmm:

Luckaye, you'll see I still have a ? next to your name. Did you decide if you can play? :kiss:

Where's Lemmy when you need her! :whip: :whip: :whip: :evil:

yeah, I am in :)

Hooray!! :w00t: I took away your (?) in the last update. :)

:wave: Just looking to see if anything new has happened since I was here earlier. Done shopping now and I'm home for the nigt. You'd have to be part penguin (or polar bear) to want to be outside in Minnesota today. It's COOOLLLDDDD out there today (-25 with windchill).

Can I assume you contacted her somehow to let her know? Cuz yeah, though we haven't officially started yet, I see she's like the only person who hasn't checked in yet. :whip: So maybe she doesn't even know we started early... :unsure:


ETA - sejent hasn't checked in yet either, though she did send out her reveal. (I'm adding this sorta just for my own reference.) :D
