So, every once in a blue moon I get a forward that is worth reading & reposting. This one fits into that category, enjoy…
Friendship ~ None of that Sissy Shit
Are you tired of those sissy ‘friendship’ poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality?
Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.
You will see no cute little smiley faces on this ~Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.
-
When you are sad ~ I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
-
When you are blue ~ I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
-
When you smile ~ I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in.
-
When you are scared ~ I will rag on you about it every chance I get until you’re NOT.
-
When you are worried ~ I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.
-
When you are confused ~ I will try to use only little words.
-
When you are sick ~ Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don’t want whatever you have.
-
When you fall ~ I will laugh at your clumsy ass, but I’ll help you up.
This is my oath ….. I pledge it to the end. ‘Why?’ you may ask ~ because you are my friend.
Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.
Send this to 10 of your closest friends (including the one who sent it to you).
Then get depressed because you can only think of 4.

The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory
Finished up the 5th book in the Ice & Fire series only to find out that book 6 is probably 2 years away and book 7, well who knows. So… picked up “The Red Queen” because the description on the back cover made me think of Cersei (Queen of King’s Landing from Ice & Fire). And indeed… Margaret R. is definitely in the same vein of crazy. Or should I say “devout”. I’m finding that I enjoy historical fiction much more than I expected I would. It was any easy read… especially coming off my previous tomes — far few characters to keep track of. Gregory’s writing is smooth and you don’t get lost in the details. The only negative I would mention is the ending. It just kind of stops at the end of Margaret’s immediate story. I suppose, historically, I know that Henry Tudor was King, etc but I just thought the author would give a bit more. I may pick up some of her other books, not sure yet. Anyhoo… for a quick, enjoyable read in the historical fiction genre I recommend “The Red Queen” by Philippa Gregory.
So… now the quest begins for the next book. Suggestions ae welcome!

A Song of Ice and Fire
Just finished reading the 4th book in George R.R. Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series. Book 5 should be here on Monday. It’s very well written and steeped in detail. The characters are well defined. I just don’t think I can give a review until I read book five because I need to know what happens to everyone. If you are looking for some weekend reading I highly recommend picking these up! I’ve not yet seen the HBO series based on the books but I am planning to check it out once I’ve finished.
