Happy New Year to all my ‘regulars’ and ‘followers’ of this blog. I love you guys and you made my days and nights so much brighter with your comments, particularly when responding to my stupid polls and questions about gay men. To all the guys who participated and answered questions good-naturedly (is there such a word?) posed by authors or by me as we probed your psyche and tried to find out about what’s going on under the sheets, literally, a huge THANK YOU! The questions won’t stop this year but they might be couched in more politically correct language. *g*
To all the authors who allowed themselves to be interviewed last year – a grateful blog owner thanks you. Without your interviews this blog would have been a very dull place indeed. 26 of you submitted to the ultimate indignity of being asked “What do you really think about when you’re writing those hot sex scenes between two or three or even four guys?” Most of you even responded *g* The other next most popular question was “Are you turned on when you’re writing sex scenes between the guys and wish you were in bed with them?” Most of you lied through your teeth but I let it go because I want you to come back :DDD
I hope that all of you readers and authors will be back this year and continue to treat this blog as your home away from home. I feel that you’re my friends and I will really miss you if you leave me. *g* I’m hoping to tweak the blog a bit during the year and I welcome suggestions of new features that you might like to see. Don’t worry, the Friday hawt menz will be back starting tomorrow, and because you voted them the most popular feature next to the interviews, I’ll be interviewing one of your favourites on February 6th. Not sure what he’ll be wearing, if anything, but he’ll be here in all his glory on the blog. Until tomorrow, drink till you drop: DDD
Wave
Hi Wave,
A Happy New Year to you, too! And of course I’ll keep following your blog in 2009. I love your posts! 🙂
But I don’t know if I can still show up on fridays because of my New Year’s Resolution: Think less about men and read more instead! ;D
Christian
Wave,
Happy New Years to You! Your blog has become one of my best discoveries and pitstops on this internet superhighway of last year! I have become a faithful reader and will continue to visit this blog every single day.! 😉
Hi Guys
It’s so great to have you here today!
Christian is that a new photo? Very elegant! What do you mean you have given up ogling men? Who am I going to send my links to on Fridays? That is so not right *g*
Ozakie
How nice to see you today after all your partying last evening 🙂 You really need a picture like Christian’s (well not exactly like his, but you know what I mean *g*).
Thank you both for your very nice comments and I look forward to having you on the blog even more this year. I hope you received all of your free books from the authors! Happy New Year.
Wave
Happy New Year!!! You have definitely become a regular pit stop for me (daily) and I don’t imagine that changing in 2009. 🙂 Have a great year and I look forward to Fridays, ummmm, because its the last day of work, yeah, that’s it. 😉
Hi Tam
You know I always love it when you drop by the blog and I look forward (as do the guys) to all the touching and licking on the photos 🙂
Yeah, it’s a new photo. Glad you like it. 🙂
Ok, I have an idea. I’ll only ogle men on Fridays. On the other days of the week no ogling and no thinking about men… hmm, how long do you think I can keep that up? *g*
Christian
You can probably keep it up for as long as you can keep most things up. I’m going to take a wild guess here – some things are not mind over matter. *g*
Wave,
Yeah I do need a pic up! I feel like (and feel free to laugh at this comparison) like a peen sticking out of a glory hole. You have no idea whose head pops out..lol. Crazy comparison but u get my drift. I might have to send you an email when the time is right to help me set up my pic up for my avatar..
I do not lick, that’s drool. 😉 I could be enticed to lick though with the right incentive.
I don’t know how you get a picture here. Took me nearly 6 months to figure out gravatar for a friend’s blog, maybe that will be my NY resolution, to get a pic so when I post here I’m not just an anonymous head.
If this works, yay me, I’ve already kept my resolution and its only Jan. 1. I’m golden for the rest of the year. Most people don’t even keep one. 🙂
You know I too am a big (daily) fan of yours, Wave… and not only cos of Friday’s men. (Hey, it’s Friday already in Australia. Maybe you can start doing Thursdays and Fridays. :))
PS – I think that the quickest adding of an avatar award should go to Tam. 10 mins to pick a pic and work out how to add it – I’m impressed!
OK Ozakie first
OMG what a comparison *g* Now every time I change my avatar I’ll think of glory holes :)The easiest way to do it is to set up a blog (you don’t have to write anything on it, just insert a picture.) If you have a Yahoo id, same rules apply just insert a picture in your profile).
Tam
I commend you on the pic but what is it? Is it a tattoo from a body part? Sure looks like it 🙂 That was quick.
Kris
I refuse to change from Friday (our time ) to Friday (your time). You’ll just have to be patient *g* This week you might get a double treat 🙂
Yes, its a tattoo of a bird on my back. Its kind of the pic I use for everything on-line so if you come across it somewhere connected to something you know it’s me. 🙂
Happy New Year 🙂
Hi Wave,
Hope your New Year started and keeps on going wonderfully!!!!!
You know I’ll be here everyday. Your blog was really the first I started following and commenting on and I LOVE IT 😀 Your reviews are fab, love the addition of the author interviews and OK yeah, I love Friday mornings too!!
Thanks and keep up the great work on your blog, it’s awesome.
Your friend
Lily 😀
Friday is my favorite day now! LOL.
Except, the hubby is having surgery tomorrow to repair what is most likely a severed nerve in his hand. Soooo, if I don’t come around that would be why.
Save me a Friday-man. I’ll lick him later O_O
Wave,
So if you have yahoo id (for instance I have yahoo instant messenger) I can have my yahoo instant msg avatar picture up on your blog or did you just mention that as an example?
Wishing your and your readers a grand 2009 with countless great reads (written by and for us) and even more hot Friday men (with tattoos, facial hair, chest fur, dirt, grime, sweat, sand, feet and all the other great parts we love).
Hi Tam
What a hot tat! I’ll bet all the guys can’t wait to get their hands on it *g*
Emily
Thank you for stopping by. What a great looking icon 🙂
Lily
Thank you so much for always being supportive to the blog and me and for all the questions you think up to ask the authors. I’ll be calling on you again this year (the cheque is in the mail) 🙂
Also, I appreciate you being my friend. You’re always here with your insightful comments for the interviews, reviews and hot men, and you’ve even participated in a poll or two. *g*
Ally
I hope that the surgery goes OK for your DH and I’ll save you a guy or two to lick. :DDD
Nadja
Thank you. I will take your request re the Friday hot menz “under advisement”. That’s a very tall order to fill but I’ll do my best.*g*
Ozakie
Re the icon I don’t know if the Yahoo id pic will work but you could try it. I find that depending on how I respond to comments on the blog different icons appear. Why not try a couple and see what happens. It’s like men – you never know how it’ll turn out when you say “hello” 🙂
Happy New Year!! Looking forward to many more great reviews!
Elle Parker
Hi Elle
Thank you so much and right back at you. Right now I’m trying to write a couple of reviews that were promised weeks ago 🙂
