Cindy Cruciger, and Mary Janice Davidson seem to have a kinda love/hate relationship. I didn’t really get what MJD was talking about in her ‘I Make Cindy Cruciger My Bitch‘ post, and to be honest, I still don’t, but what the hell, it’s all blog fodder right?
I think what clued me in, was this comment by MJD, in response to this comment by Ferfelabat. I can’t tell if these are writerly ways of showing affection, and they’re just playing around, or if they really want to stab each other in the eye. Oooh, I do hope it’s the latter, for the sake of good Authors At War gossip. *g*
Anyway, I’m off to watch Lord Of The Rings II now, so I’ll leave you with the other related posts, which can be found here, and here.
By the way, I went to the most beautiful wedding this weekend. My bestest friend got married in North Wales, and she looked bloody beautiful. Me and The Tall Guy got quite drunk, danced to Beyonce’s Crazy In Love, as well as that stupid Ooops-Up-Side-ya-head song.
It felt like a school reunion, due to the amount of university friends that were there, that I hadn’t seen since graduation. It truly felt like we’d never been apart, and we all had a ball. Girlfriends are great aren’t they?
As I type this, the happy couple are on a flight to Cape Town, in South Africa, for a two-week honeymoon. Congrats to the both of you, you truly do belong together.

New bloodletting would be nice so we can stop talking about Anne Stuart and Mira. I just can’t get excited about that anymore.
Aw, I love weddings…well, those where I genuinely like the bride and groom, anyway. They always have the best dancing and alcohol. *g*

Kat, I must admit, just as I never got excited about the Peter Jensen Having Had Cock Debate, the Anne Stuart dissing her publishers debate just didn’t register with me at all.
Too true about the weddings of best friends, it also helped that they had a free bar all day and night. The parents of the bride had also organised a spectacular fireworks display. Truly magnificent.

I think it must be in fun, or else the wagons would have been circled and we’d have seen a lot of “in support of” posts, don’t you think.
It’s hard to tell. But as I find them both hilarious anyway, I think it’s funny as hell.

Cindy’s awesome. We’re just messing with each other. It’s how you can tell I’m avoiding my deadline; I pop up on the web again!

Holy Crap. Just messing with each other? This is…disappointing. Can you please start something with someone? It’s really fun to try and deconstruct these things, and pick sides, and…
Plus, it convinces me not to submit anything, because the internet is filled with evil bitches who’ll do nothing but make me long for the sweet release of death, thus allowing me more time to follow the latest feud. See, I like the feuds, but I fear them, too. I LIKE them, but I FEAR them.
Anyhow, tell me Betsy is treating Sink-lair better, and all will be well.

Dammit people! Did you not read her post? This is exactly how that crack-addled marmoset sucked Renee into believing she was fabulous and had no plans to actually pounce me into a puddle of poo. She is just*that*evil*good.
No one circled the wagons because I seem to attract people who will happily hand me off to Freddy Kruger if it might be entertaining. One friend nearly sold me into a brothel in Mexico for a better price on wool placemats. True story.
Also true that I survived MJ’s soiree ensuite at RT — barely. Bruised but with great loot. The signs were there if anyone had cared to look. When you walk into a $1000 a night digs and see a bottle of Boone’s Farm on the table — well — shit’s bound to get ugly at some point in the evening.

Boones Farm? They still make that swill? I thought that went out with shoulder pads and mall hair…

My husband tried to sell me to a lesbian biker gang one Laconia Bike Week. I’m not sure if I was more devasted by his offer, or the fact the lesbian biker gang didn’t want me.
So devastating.

Shannon you have always made my very short list of authors I don’t know but would like to do lunch with some day. With this post? You just moved up to the number one spot.
The thing about Lesbians is … they have hella high standards. I had a list once, of what the standards were but the movers in Puerto Rico must have snagged it when they made off with my favorite fishnet feathered balconet bra.
In my friends defense, the placemats were really nice.
NO FRUITCAKE FOR YOU FROG!
Eva. You’re not getting out of the fruitcake deal. I give it a tuesday at midnight deadline and then that rum soaked one night stand is all mine.

Does all this love in the air mean that there aren’t gonna be any punch ups in the near future?
What kinda freaking writers are you!! Don’t you know I thrive on dissention amongst the ranks? Dammit all to hell!

Man, when I was first alerted to the Cruciger-Davidson “tiff,” I got totally excited because I thought for sure that the bitches were going to pull each other’s hairs. No such luck.
Stupid writerly affection. I guess it’s kind of like when I call Karen Scott a “dumb c-u-next-Tuesday” and not really mean it.
I LOVE YOU, KAREN SCOTT!

It’ll be a date someday, Ferfe. Though if we should imbibe more than we can afford and are forced to barter ourselves for umbrella drinks, you’re on deck if the bartender’s a lesbian. I can only take so much rejection from my own gender.

There’s no pleasing you bums! You hate me when I’m mean and you hate me when I’m nice. (Actually, I’m not sure many of you have had the chance to see me parked in “nice”.)
Cindy and I are on an RT panel next year, so you can watch the hair-pulling in person! Viva la frog!

Jesus effing ke-rist on toast! Does that psycho WitLiz Today know who she’s threatening over there on http://jennycrusie.blogspot.com/2006/11/clue-cake-anonymity-and-other.html ???? I am MJD’s bitch.
::pondering it for a moment because that distinction may be somewhat nebulous::
No. No. I think I can take WitLiz Today with one pinkie finger tied behind my wrist … with or without six feet of crack-addled marmoset snark behind me.
Love the new Website pic MJ put up on her site. I want the sneakers.
