Chapter 3.1 Hey Hotshot
September 2013
Hey Hotshot
I have become super friends with a cocky hotshot.
I call him Captain Amazing, because he loves Captain America.
I also love Captain America, but we probably love him for
different reasons….
It doesn’t matter.
This cocky hotshot, aka Captain Amazing, has superpowers…
...like making me laugh for no reason…
...like tickling me without even touching me (but OMG when
he does!!!)…
..like making me feel drunk when I haven’t been drinking…
...like weakening my own powers with a bolt of lightning
every time I’m near him....
...like giving the best hugs that leave me breathless but wanting
more…
... he may play Quidditch because there is a broom that
trips me a lot, knocks me off my feet...
...and he is said to be a “Ninja,” something I aspire to be…
He says, “I’m not saying I’m a Ninja, but you’ve never
seen me and a Ninja in the same room at the same time.”
How can you argue with that?
This cocky hotshot has bravado, personality, independence, attitude,
charm, good looks, intelligence, sense of humor, generosity,
and superpowers.
He may have x-ray vision too - I’ll have to ask him… I’m not
sure if he’ll confess to that power...then again, he said I could
ask him anything.
Clearly he has a secret identity...
So what’s wrong with this cocky hotshot? What is Captain Amazing’s
Kryptonite?
I’m actually not even interested in what’s wrong with him.
Who the F cares???!!
I’m just celebrating what’s right about him.
...and he can keep that Quidditch broom out and keep sweeping,
because my feet have no business being under me with such
a fine super friend in my life.
This cocky hotshot has ignited my hotspot.
Thank you, Captain Amazing, for saving me from a life of
dreary boredom and lacklusterness.
...until we meet again...
Book 3 Chapter 3.2 If Is Good
4/10/2014
If is good…
When setting goals, “when” is better to say than “if” - it’s
definitive; the action is going to happen at some point.
I do understand that and recommend saying "when" to
my clients...
...but “if” contains more possibilities than “when,”
at least when daydreaming.
Once in my life, a man I was seeing called me “baby.” Given
that I am a strong, independent, intelligent, and successful
woman, "baby" wasn't high on my list of potential pet names.
I had no idea that word would have the effect that it had
because nobody had ever called me that. However, my reaction
was something like Jamie Lee Curtis in a “Fish Called Wanda,”
when Kevin Klein spoke in an accent to her.
...uncontrollable writhing passion...
Therefore, if Captain Amazing calls me “baby,” I would melt
like butter right on the floor...I’m sure my body would respond
in ways that I could only dream about or read in a smutty
romance novel...if it happens…Oh my...
“If” leaves a bit of mystery, a little intrigue...so if I say “when” in
the sentence above, it loses its charm and dreaminess.
He has superpowers...there needs to be intrigue...
If we are successful at creating a "friendship" that fits
our lives and personalities...If this really works, then our lives
will not morph to accommodate the friendship…
...and the "friendship" will not become an unrecognizable
institution that we both loathe...
...and we can keep liking each other...and playing...
...that would be the most awesome event in this chapter of
my life…
If is good...
