Did you hear that Adam Lambert had a double Twitter party last night? I was at my computer the moment he announced it, but none of my tweets were answered. There were many tweets asking about the second album, which he answered with a mass tweet that he wasn't talking about it yet.
Here are the lucky people from Part One who caught his eye. This morning I saw the tweet about Part Two, where he asked for questions to go deeper. So if you're at the right place at the right time the next time he calls for a Twitter Party, your best chance to be answered will be be to leave the feathers and lace behind and go for the cerebral Adam! Thanks to Juneau and Xena for clicking back and forth to find the questions he was answering on Part One!
And while we're talking about tweets, did you catch the one a few days ago when his father answered his tweet about his goatee? Hilarious!

It Hurts Not to Hurt Ashley Lane and Lauren Phillips have unwittingly found themselves at the hands of a mad man, the likes of which they have only seen in movies. He has them tied up, Ashley down on her knees, her feet between the legs of Lauren Phillips who is standing over her. That's when O.T., their captor, comes in with his knife. He slides it under the sleeve of Lauren's dress and tears it away from her, leaving her perfect tits exposed. After the scare tactics it's time for the real suffering.… Read More
Hogtied – Sep 15, 2016 – Ashley Lane, The PopeThursday, September 22nd, 2016
Ashley is the real deal, the truest of bondage models, the one in a million that lives for the bondage and torment and could care less about the orgasms. She wants the most brutal and grueling bondage that will challenge her and push her limits as far as they will go. Ashley settles into the ropes and her pussy starts to drip with the anticipation of suffering more at the hands of The Pope. Download: Download file - 433.0 MB Read More
Real Time Bondage – July 2, 2016 Ashley LaneThursday, July 14th, 2016
For the final part of our feed, Ashley Lane is going to face all of her worst fears. She told us when we started that she didn't have much experience with foot torture, so we are going to give her a crash course. Locked in position in a metal rig, Ashley is going to endure endless caning, followed by rubber bands being snapped on her feet. We are going to keep going until we make this bitch cry, and then carry on some more. The other thing Ashley mentioned at the beginning of our feed was that she was the most afraid… Read More
Real Time Bondage – Jun 25, 2016: Insatiable Ass Part 2 | Ashley LaneTuesday, June 28th, 2016
When we return to Ashley Lane she looks about as broken down as she can get. Her face is covered in smudged makeup from crying, and her whole body is covered in marks and bruises from being lashed at with the whip. She looks like she could use a change of pace, and we gladly oblige and shift the focus over to her incredible ass. Bent over in shackles on top of a box, Ashley gives us our first look at what will be the focus of our show. Her asshole is pristine and gaping, just asking for us to take a better look inside.… Read More
Real Time Bondage – Jun 18, 2016 – Ashley LaneWednesday, June 22nd, 2016
Ashley Lane is pretty scared coming in to have a private session with us, and not without reason. We asked her whether she liked pain or humiliation and she said pain, so we'll give her a little of what she wants and a lot of what we want. She starts out giggling and having a snack and keeps giggling when we get her hogtied on the floor. But her laughter won't last long. She was rude to one of our viewers when we started, and we are going to make her pay for that. We set her up in the racks with her tits exposed and… Read More
Hardtied – May 4, 2016: Classy | Ashley LaneFriday, May 6th, 2016
Ashley Lane has so many questions that she needs answered, but this naive, young, sexy piece of ass is about to learn that the best explanation is experience. O.T. isn't the type to waste a ton of time chattering with the girls he gets his hands on. He wants to use them, not date them, and if they have any questions like, "What are you about to do to me," then they will all be answered in due time. The bondage today is particularly brutal. Ashley is flexible as hell, but that doesn't make it any easier. Bent backward… Read More
Infernal Restraints – Apr 15, 2016: Ashley's Fun Time | Ashley LaneWednesday, April 20th, 2016
This metal bit gag might be Ashley Lane's new best friend. Sexy and fit, this slut is a screamer. She has to bite down hard to keep from going completely to pieces. She has a hot body and he loves to play with it in all kinds of wicked ways. It isn't just inflicting pain that makes him happy and makes her shriek. Even pleasure can be overwhelming if he takes the time to overload her enough. What tools he has on hand may look simple but they are vicious. The thin, rubber hose stings like hell when it snaps back across… Read More

Ashley begins shackled to a wooden column. Her throat and wrists are locked down with cold steel. She is assaulted with extreme flogging and heavy impact. Then to mind fuck this slut her wrists are released and she is given the chance to defend herself. This is when she proves what a pain slut she is. Next she is in a grueling position and the entire scene is aimed at terrorizing her feet with one of the most intense bastinado scenes ever recorded. If you enjoy watching… Read More

Ashley Lane's body is just too sensitive to play games with Jack Hammer. He's so rough with her, and she loves it, but she it hurts so much, even while it feels so good. She's a screamer. She can't help herself. Whether he's grabbing, vibrating, or really laying into her with the corporal punishment, Ashley can't help but belt out a few piercing shrieks of pain. They're like music to his ears. Her screams aren't ones of protest, though. We… Read More
Infernal Restraints – Jul 25, 2014 – Ashley LaneSunday, January 18th, 2015
It's all about Ashley Lane's amazing body today. This babe has a lot of assets we plan on taking advantage of. Girls get their nipples and clits pierced to increase their sensitivity. That's a good idea when they're at home with someone who is willing to be gentle but for us that just makes them even bigger targets. We'll use them to make her cum, sure, but first we're going to make her scream. The spike chair is an old favorite… Read More

Well, first of all, she is one of the most intense bondage lovers you'll ever see. Whips, canes, clothes pins, clamps, and whatever else you can think of; Rain loves it all. Sure, she cries a bit when we put dozens of clothes pins all over her face, but when she is in that kind of pain she is also one step closer to cumming.

She has worked with us before and she vividly remembers the torments we put her through with her last live feed. She even makes the bold claim that she has seen or done it all.

Duration: 00:58:49 File size: 1203 Mb Format: mp4 Watching Ashley Lane get off is a thing of beauty. When she cums it is almost subtle. There are moans and gasps, to be sure, as the intensity of her experience builds up. She throws her head back and gives breathy, heaving pants as she finally achieves her goal. But unlike some she doesn't buck and scream. She accepts her ecstasy with a quiet, almost resigned grace. And Ashley has one of the prettiest cum-drunk faces you'll ever see. Her eyes glaze over, she can barely keep them open. The… Read More

The New York Red Bulls had a quiet summer transfer window on the international market, but did make a potentially major move on Tuesday that could help boost the team's inconsistent attack.
The Red Bulls acquired French forward Saer Sene from the New England Revolution on Tuesday, in exchange for forward Andre Akpan and an undisclosed amount of allocation money. The Red Bulls also secured an international roster spot for the remainder of 2014 in the deal.
"Saer, who can play wide or up front, will add a different dimension and another option to our attack," said Red Bulls Sporting Director Andy Roxburgh. "We're excited to bring him aboard and at the same time, we wish Andre all the best with his new club."
Sene spent three seasons with the Revs, scoring 17 goals during that span, but fell out of favor in New England, managing just 40 minutes played in the Revs' past 15 matches. Major injuries hampered his time in New England, with a broken leg and dislocated ankle suffered late in the 2013 season affecting him into the 2014 season.
The Red Bulls will be hoping Sene can flash some of the quality he showed back in 2012, when he registered 11 goals and three assists for New England.
Akpan is a journeyman forward with local ties to New England, having starred for Harvard before turning pro. Akpan managed just 16 minutes played this season for the Red Bulls.
What do you think of the deal? See Sene making an impact with the Red Bulls? Still holding out hope the Red Bulls will sign a Designated Player?
Share your thoughts below.
michael f. sbi mafia original
forward? really? that's our biggest need? that's why we'll never win MLS Cup. Ugh. And to think i passed this horror show on to my kids. I should have known better….
when is New England gonna drop big money for a player worthy? Heck. Drop 10 million a year for Ibrahimovic. He's out of contract next year or even Fernando Torres.
Gonna take a lot more than that to land Zlatan.
Lets see, Zlatan has played in:
– Malmo (hometown in Sweden)
– Amsterdam
– Torino
– Milan (twice)
– Barcelona
– Paris
and now you say he wants to go to Boston? No offense, but its not going to be Boston, Kansas City, Chicago, Denver, Columbus, et al.
IF, and that is the largest if I can muster, Zlatan decides to pursue an MLS career, it will be in Los Angeles or New York City. That's it. Foreign players grow up knowing about those towns as world media meccas, not Boston… sorry.
Zlatan is bigger than Boston. Deal with it.
Even if we needed another attacker, which I don't think is a high priority, Sene isn't the answer. Been pretty disappointed in ownership's willingness to spend. They've had an open DP spot for a year and a half.
Brain Guy
It's hard to tell to what extent Roxburgh's hands are tied by the mother ship in Austria, but in general I agree. On the other hand, isn't this roster already much better than the team's record shows? Is it time to ask questions about Petke? He's a great motivator and competitor, and he bleeds Metro/RBNY colors, but with his lineups, tactics, and substitutions, does he always, as the saying goes, put the team in the best position to succeed? I'm not suggesting a particular answer to the question, but a below-.500 record forces us to raise it, I think.
Quit Whining About Soccer in the US
Everyone has their opinions on talent levels. I say no, NY is right where they should be…weaker in many positions. MLS is tough.
Overall, I don't think the team is that talented because the defense is so poor. Roy Miller is probably their best defender at this point, given that Olave has slipped this season. Bringing in complete stiffs like Eckersley, Armando and Convey this offseason can't be blamed on Petke.
I'm not saying Mike is perfect. I think the attack can be predictable at times and he can be a little slow to change things up when needed but overall I think he's doing well. I blame the front office (whether it's Roxburgh or Austria) for the problems with this team for the most part.
Not a bad move if it gets rid of Akpan – dude was useless. At least Sene might actually see the field.
At this point with the transfer window closed, not sure RB can bring in a DP worth getting excited about.
what the revs are doing is a mystery, apparently. sene, although apparently injury prone, is one of the more talented non-DP players in the league (he was on the 2nd team at Bayern, apparently, b4 joining the revs). akpan might be underrated and all, apparently, but he isn't going to set the league alight. here's hoping these are just some cap moves, apparently, to land Jermaine Jones or someone of similar ilk.
It's apparent, you are apparently on to an apparent theory here. Unless I am, apparently, wrong! That's not as apparent though…
Sene is a much better player! But positionally the deal makes sense. NE needs a CF, NY needs a Winger
Wait – are you this kid???
Quit Whining About Soccer in the US
Maybe he is going to play wing ?
"The TX 2 Stepper"
I think that this is a great pick up! I could be wrong but this guy was once considered a great signing. He scores at a clip of a goal every four games. That's better than 25% of all games played (including numerous 2nd half substitutions at the end of games) and that number could be significantly higher had it not been for Major Injuries from 2013 and lingering issues into 2014.
Is he damaged goods? If not, NYRB will make out like bandits when he hits his stride again. I expect him to compete for a spot on the wing or to offer flexibility with playing Henry (back up starter on plastic pitches/attacking mid w/ 6'3″ Sene playing target to partner BWP)
I hope that RBNY will switch to a 4-3-1-2
CAHILL — DAX Mc — LLOYD
———- Back Four ————
I like the formation but, alas, I don't think our manager is inclined to play anything other than a flat 4-4-2. Is he capable of any other??? He trots out the same scheme again again.
Seriously, why not f-cking ronaldinho or jones. People were talking to me garbage about ronaldinho to red bull but they get another foward.
I thought your team needed a center defender and maybe (a new coach) 🙂
If red bull would have gotten ronaldinho, they would have won MLS cup or gone to MLS cup with super coach petke.
If I was red bull front office, I would get ronaldinho but tell him and his brother, " you're in ronaldinho, but you gotta show us commitment And heart,by getting on a small to medium diet and our fitness staff will get you back to a new level. We give you what you want but you gotta get in shape and act like the real ronaldinho."
What's so hard about that?
Why not even jones as well?
If petke doesn't get to MLS cup, it will be sad for red bull fans, Henry, Cahill and petke should be out the door.
Red bull need a shake up, with nycfc coming they will be chivas USA 2.0 but slightly a little better.
If I was garber, I would be thinking twice about red bull in MLS. Red bull ownership is so strange with the power and money they have.
It seems like a fairly even trade, depending on the amount of allocation cash involved. Akpan is not really an MLS caliber player and the fact that NE is talking about starting him is sad for them. Sene is certainly a more useful attacking piece, when healthy. But NY has much bigger problems in defense than in attack. And if that allocation money somehow nets NE Jones, it's going to be pretty frustrating from my perspective as a Red Bull fan, as I think Jones would be just perfect for NY.

John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it.
He's spent his life doing his best not to live up to his potential.
He's obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn't want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation.
Dead bodies are normal to John. He likes them, actually. They don't demand or expect the empathy he's unable to offer. Perhaps that's what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there's something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat---and to appreciate what that difference means.
Now, for the first time, John has to confront a danger outside himself, a threat he can't control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could.
Dan Wells's debut novel, I Am Not a Serial Killer, is the first volume of a trilogy that will keep you awake and then haunt your dreams.
Editorial Reviews

The beauty of the prose, mixed with the depth of characterization, gave the haunting, first person narrative a human touch…. Regardless of your age or your genre preferences, you will find this story both profound and enthralling.

Read an Excerpt
Mrs. Anderson was dead.
Nothing flashy, just old age—she went to bed one night and never woke up. They say it was a peaceful, dignified way to die, which I suppose is technically true, but the three days it took for someone to realize they hadn't seen her in a while removed most of the dignity from the situation. Her daughter eventually dropped by to check on her and found her corpse three days rotted and stinking like roadkill. And the worst part isn't the rotting, it's the three days—three whole days before anyone cared enough to say, "Wait, where's that old lady that lives down by the canal?" There's not a lot of dignity in that.
But peaceful? Certainly. She died quietly in her sleep on August thirtieth, according to the coroner, which means she died two days before the something tore Jeb Jolley's insides out and left him in a puddle behind the laundromat. We didn't know it at the time, but that made Mrs. Anderson the last person in Clayton County to die of natural causes for almost six months. The Clayton Killer got the rest.
Well, most of them. All but one.
We got Mrs. Anderson's body on Saturday, September Second, after the coroner was done with it—or, I guess I should say that my mom and Aunt Margaret got the body, not me. They're the ones who run the mortuary; I'm only fifteen. I'd been in town most of the day, watching the police clean up the mess with Jeb, and came back just as the sun was beginning to go down. I slipped in the back just in case my mom was up front. I didn't really want to see her.
No one was in the back yet, just me and Mrs. Anderson's corpse. It was lying perfectly still on the table, under a blue sheet. It smelled like rotten meat and bug spray, and the lone ventilator fan buzzing loudly overhead wasn't doing much to help. I washed my hands quietly in the sink, wondering how long I had, and gently touched the body. Old skin was my favorite—dry and wrinkled, with a texture like antique paper. The coroner hadn't done much to clean up the body, probably because they were busy with Jeb, but the smell told me that at least they'd thought to kill the bugs. After three days in end-of-summer heat, there had probably been a lot of them.
A woman swung open the door from the front end of the mortuary and came in, looking like a surgeon in her green scrubs and mask. I froze, thinking it was my mother, but the woman just glanced at me and walked to a counter.
"Hi John," she said, collecting some sterile rags. It wasn't my mom at all, it was her sister Margaret—they were twins, and when their faces were masked I could barely tell the difference. Margaret's voice was a little lighter, though, a little more . . . energetic. I figured it was because she'd never been married.
"Hi Margaret." I took a step back.
"Ron's getting lazier," she said, picking up a squirt bottle of Dis-Spray. "He didn't even clean her, just declared natural causes and shipped her over. Mrs. Anderson deserves better than this." She turned to look at me. "You just gonna stand there, or are you gonna help me?"
"Wash up."
I rolled up my sleeves eagerly and went back to the sink.
"Honestly," she went on, "I don't even know what they do over there at the coroner's office. It's not like they're busy—we can barely stay in business here."
"Jeb Jolley died," I said, drying my hands. "They found him this morning behind the Wash-n-Dry."
"The mechanic?" asked Margaret, her voice dropping lower. "That's terrible. He's younger than I am. What happened?"
"Murdered," I said, and pulled a mask and apron from a hook on the wall. "They thought maybe it was a wild dog, but his guts were kind of in a pile."
"That's terrible," Margaret said again.
"Well you're the one worried about going out of business," I said. "Two bodies in one weekend is money in the bank."
"Don't even joke like that, John," she said, looking at me sternly. "Death is a sad thing, even when it pays your mortgage. You ready?"
"Hold her arm out."
I grabbed the body's right arm and pulled it straight. Rigor mortis makes a body so stiff you can barely move it, but it only lasts about a day and a half and this one had been dead so long the muscles had all relaxed again. Though the skin was papery, the flesh underneath was soft, like dough. Margaret sprayed the arm with disinfectant and began wiping it gently with a cloth.
Even when the coroner does his job and cleans the body, we always wash it ourselves before we start. Embalming's a long pro cess, with a lot of very precise work, and you need a clean slate to start with.
"It stinks pretty bad," I said.
"She stinks pretty bad," I said. Mom and Margaret were adamant that we be respectful to the deceased, but it seemed a little late at this stage. It wasn't a person anymore, it was just a body. A thing.
"She does smell," said Margaret. "Poor woman. I wish someone had found her sooner." She looked up at the ventilator fan buzzing behind its grate in the ceiling. "Let's hope the motor doesn't burn out on us to night." Margaret said the same thing before every embalming, like a sacred chant. The fan continued creaking overhead.
"Leg," she said. I moved down to the body's foot and pulled the leg straight while Margaret sprayed it. "Turn your head." I kept my gloved hands on the foot and turned to stare at the wall while Margaret lifted up the sheet to wash the upper thighs. "One good thing that came of this, though," she said, "is that you can bet every widow in the county got a visit today, or is going to get one tomorrow. Everyone who hears about Mrs. Anderson is going to go straight to their own mother, just to make sure. Other leg."
I wanted to say something about how everyone who heard about Jeb would go straight to their auto mechanic, but Margaret never appreciated jokes like that.
We moved around the body, leg to arm, arm to torso, torso to head, until the whole thing was scrubbed and disinfected. The room smelled like death and soap. Margaret tossed the rags in the laundry bin and started gathering the real embalming supplies.
I'd been helping Mom and Margaret at the mortuary since I was a little boy, back before Dad left. My first job had been cleaning up the chapel: picking up programs, dumping out ash trays, vacuuming the floor, and other odd jobs that a six-year-old could do unassisted. I got bigger jobs as I grew older, but I didn't get to help with the really cool stuff—embalming—until I was twelve. Embalming was like . . . I don't know how to describe it. It was like playing with a giant doll, dressing it and bathing it and opening it up to see what was inside. I watched Mom once when I was eight, peeking in through the door to see what the big secret was. When I cut open my teddy bear the next week, I don't think she made the connection.
Margaret handed me a wad of cotton, and I held it at the ready while she packed small tufts carefully under the body's eyelids. The eyes were beginning to recede, deflating as they lost moisture, and cotton helped keep the right shape for the viewing. It helped keep the eyelids closed as well, but Margaret always added a bit of sealing cream, just in case, to keep the moisture in and the lid closed.
"Get me the needle gun, will you John?" she asked, and I hurried to put down the cotton and grab the gun from a metal table by the wall. The gun is a long metal tube with two fingerholds on the side, like a hypodermic syringe.
"Can I do it this time?"
"Sure," she said, pulling back the body's cheek and upper lip. "Right here."
I placed the gun gently up against the gums and squeezed, embedding a small needle into the bone. The teeth were long and yellow. We added one more needle to the lower jaw and threaded a wire through them both, then twisted it tight to keep the mouth closed. Margaret smeared sealing cream on a small plastic support, like the peel of an orange wedge, and placed it inside the mouth to hold everything closed.
Once the face was taken care of we arranged the body carefully, straightening the legs and folding the arms across the chest in the classic "I'm dead" pose. Once the formaldehyde gets into the muscles, they seize up and go rigid. You have to set the features first thing, so the family doesn't have a misshapen corpse at the viewing.
"Hold her head," said Margaret, and I obediently put a hand on each side of the corpse's head to keep it steady. Margaret probed with her fingers a bit, just above the right collarbone, and then sliced a long, shallow line in the hollow of the old woman's neck. It's almost bloodless when you cut a corpse. Because the heart's not pumping, there's no blood pressure, and gravity pulls all the blood down into the body's back. Because this one had been dead longer than usual, the chest was limp and empty while the back was nearly purple, like a giant bruise. Margaret reached into the hole with a small metal hook and pulled out two big veins—well, technically an artery and a vein—and looped a string around each one. They were purple and slick, two dark loops that pulled out of the body a few inches, and then slipped back in. Margaret turned to prepare the pump.
Most people don't realize how many different chemicals embalmers use, but the first thing that catches your eye is not how many there are, but how many different colors they are. Each bottle—the formaldehyde, the anticoagulants, the cauter-ants, the germicides, the conditioners, and others—has its own bright color, like fruit juice. The row of embalming fluids looks like the syrup flavors at a sno-cone stand. Margaret chose her chemicals carefully, like she was choosing ingredients for a soup. Not every body needed every chemical, and figuring out the right recipe for a given corpse was as much an art as a science. While she worked on that, I let go of the head and picked up the scalpel. They didn't always let me make incisions, but if I did it while they weren't watching, I could usually get away with it. I was good at it, too, which helped.
The artery Margaret had pulled out would be used to pump the body full of the chemical cocktail she was making; as they filled the body, the old fluids, like blood and water, would be pushed out the exposed vein and into a drain tube, and from there into the floor. I had been surprised to find out that it all just goes into the sewer system, but really—where else would it go? It's no worse than anything else down there. I held the artery steadily and cut slowly across it, careful not to sever it completely. When the hole was ready, I grabbed the canula—a curved metal tube—and slipped the narrow end into the opening. The artery was rubbery, like a thin hose, and covered with tiny fibers of muscle and capillary. I laid the metal tube gently on the chest and made a similar cut in the vein, this time inserting a drain pipe, which connected to a long coil of clear plastic tubing that snaked down into a drain in the floor. I cinched tight the strings Margaret had looped around each vein, sealing them shut.
"That looks good," said Margaret, pushing the pump over to the table. It was on wheels to keep it out of the way, but now it took its place of honor in the center of the room while Margaret connected the main hose to the canula I'd placed in the artery. She studied the seal briefly, nodded at me in approval, and poured the first chemical—a bright orange anticoagulant to break up clots—into the tank on top of the pump. She pushed a button and the pump jerked sleepily to life, syncopated like a real heartbeat, and she watched it carefully while she fiddled with the knobs that controlled pressure and speed. The pressure in the body normalized quickly, and soon dark, thick blood was disappearing into the sewer.
"How's school?" Margaret asked, peeling off a rubber glove to scratch her head.
"It's only been a couple of days," I said. "Not a lot happens in the first week."
"It's the first week of high school, though," said Margaret. "That's pretty exciting, isn't it?"
"Not especially," I said.
The anticoagulant was almost gone, so Margaret poured a bright blue conditioner into the pump to help get the blood vessels ready for the formaldehyde. She sat down. "Meet any new friends?"
"Yeah," I said. "A whole new school moved into town over the summer, so miraculously I'm not stuck with the same people I've known since kindergarten. And of course, they all wanted to make friends with the weird kid. It was pretty sweet."
"You shouldn't make fun of yourself like that," she said.
"Actually, I was making fun of you."
"You shouldn't do that either," said Margaret, and I could tell by her eyes that she was grinning slightly. She stood back up to add more chemicals to the pump. Now that the first two chemicals were on their way through the body, she began mixing the true embalming fluid—a moisturizer and a water softener to keep the tissues from swelling, preservatives and germicides to keep the body in good condition (well, as good as it could be at this point), and dye to give it a rosy, lifelike glow. The key to it all, of course, is formaldehyde, a strong poison that kills everything in the body, hardens the muscles, pickles the organs, and does all of the actual "embalming." Margaret added a hefty dose of formaldehyde, followed by thick green perfume to cover the pungent aroma. The pump tank was a swirly pot of brightly colored goop, like the slush machine at a gas station. Margaret clamped down the lid and ushered me out the back door; the fan wasn't good enough to risk being in the room with that much formaldehyde. It was fully dark outside now, and the town had gone almost silent. I sat on the back step while Margaret leaned against the wall, watching through the open door in case anything went wrong.
"Do you have any homework yet?" she asked.
"I have to read the introductions of most of my textbooks over the weekend, which of course everybody always does, and I have to write an essay for my history class."
Margaret looked at me, trying to be nonchalant, but her lips were pressed tightly together and she started blinking. I knew from long association that this meant something was bothering her.
"Did they assign a topic?" she asked.
I kept my face impassive. "Major figures of American history."
"So . . . George Washington? Or maybe Lincoln."
"I already wrote it."
"That's great," she said, not really meaning it. She paused a moment longer, then dropped her pretense. "Do I have to guess, or are you going to tell me which of your psychopaths you wrote it on?"
"They're not 'my' psychopaths."
"John . . ."
"Dennis Rader," I said, looking out at the street. "They just caught him a few years ago, so I thought it had a nice 'current events' angle."
"John, Dennis Rader is the BTK killer. He's a murderer. They asked for a great figure, not a—"
"The teacher asked for a major figure, not a great one, so bad guys count," I said. "He even suggested John Wilkes Booth as one of the options."
"There's a big difference between a political assassin and a serial killer."
"I know," I said, looking back at her. "That's why I wrote it."
"You're a really smart kid," said Margaret, "and I mean that. You're probably the only student that's already finished with the essay. But you can't . . . it's not normal, John. I was really hoping you'd grow out of this obsession with murderers."

Let's clear up what the book is about at the get-go. It is about a teenage sociopath with psychopathic tendencies who is trying hard to contain the monster within him. Then he comes up against a real monster that at first he believes is a serial killer but that turns out to be a demon that kills for self-preservation. What eventually kills the monster? The same as killed King Kong: love. If you are looking for a strictly serial killer novel, look elsewhere. Try any of these first-rate serial killer novels: Fowles, THE COLLECTOR (a classic, a career launcher); Thompson's THE KILLER INSIDE ME (maybe the ultimate noir novel of all time); Oates, ZOMBIE (terrific, gory and compelling); Valentino, I, KILLER (probing, compassionate romp through the mind of a tormented killer racing to his death). As for I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER, the first seven chapters are very good. Wells has synthesized the literature on serial killers into a compelling character. He fictionalizes his knowledge well, integrating what is known about sociopaths and psychopathic killers (not to mention mortuary science) into the fabric of the story -- unlike some authors who interrupt the flow of the story to expound on the psychology of the killer. It's the balance of the book that is problematic. From young serial killer trying to control the monster within him, the novel transitions abruptly into a supernatural tale. As you read, you have visions of FRIGHT NIGHT, of a twist on vampire fare. Wells inflicts novelistic whiplash upon you. I've given it three stars for the excellent writing and the really top-rate first seven chapters. But if you prefer the realm of reality, try the other novels I've recommended.
I am an avid reader two to three books a week. Since I was 13 I am now pushing 60. I have read every type of novel written from Erma Bombeck to Charlie Chaplins autobiographay . From Steven King to Ellery Queen and Victoria Holt. The Kent family Chronicles, and Roots to Terry Brooks, Tad Williams, and Michael Jordan. From Ann Rule to Andy Rooney. As well as some self help books the best so far was "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff And It's All Small Stuff" also worth a read is "Raising your children with love and logic" . I have wanted to let you know that I am one of those people who's taste in subject matter is wide and varied because of the reviews that some readers were disappointed. They were disappointed because Dan Wells the author of this wonderful exciting novel that is full of factual details about the mind of pycho killers as well as the details of the embalming process (which we never get from) Patricia Cornwell Mr. Wells drifted his novel from facts to fantasy. I was not surprised or disappointed. This is a fictional novel. I also love sci-fi, and fantasy. This novel is a fictional story by an author of another series about the end of our world. This series also has a touch of fantasy. What I'm trying to get across is that Dan Wells is a great story teller but if you want a book with facts or just factual ideas you will not be a fan of the Dan Wells novels that he has published so far. They are all well done and if you love good fantasy like I do or just a good story Dan Wells is well worth your time and money. Keep writing Mr. Wells. Please. I will purchase them all. Thank you for the hours of excitement, suspense, and yes a little bit of fear, and yes even joy that you have given me with your words. Sanna7125
This is one of the best books i have ever read! I could not put it down! I was reading it every chance I had! Never a boring or dull moment reading this thrilling book! Its darkness and suspense made the book so good! It's a must read! Read this book, you won't regret it!
In Clayton, fifteen year old John Wayne Cleaver has helped his mom and his aunt at the family run mortuary for years. He is surrounded by corpses so death means little to him, which makes it difficult for John to sympathize with the mourners. However, the human predators who cause death fascinate and frighten him. Concerned he may become a serial killer one day as he admires these psychopaths, he sees a shrink and has established rigid rules that he totally adheres to. A loner by nurture, he prefers the dead to the living as they demand nothing as opposed to their relatives demanding miraculous cosmetics. When a sliced up body parts arrive at the mortuary, even John is taken aback. When more carved up corpses are found, John investigates as he wants to meet his first serial killer in person though this also means he bends his rules for the first time. John holds the tale together as he constantly reminds himself that: "I am not a serial killer" though surrounded by death. He is a captivating unique lead character as is his mom and aunt. Teen-lit fans will relish his mantra and amateur sleuthing, as he investigates while also mindful of not crossing the line. Harriet Klausner
A friend lent me all three books, and I loved them so much I decided to write this review. Dan Wells really does his research, even more than you may realize just from the book. Can't wait to read more from him. John can be horrifying at one point, and heartwarming the next. The relationships between the characters are dynamic and believable. If you like a good thriller with a supernatural twist, then look no further.
I love John Wayne Cleaver. This book was engaging and at times, laugh out loud funny. After finishing it, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Mr. Monster. It was easy to get caught up in the lives of Clayton County residents and i kept thinking that having grown up in a small town, I've met, at one time or another, every one of the characters - including John. It was like going home for a visit. Loved it!
I just recently graduated from college and randomly chose this book while perusing the store. As a recent graduate, this book was WONDERFUL for a multitude of reasons. First of all, it was an easy read; I found myself unable to put it down! Being a psychology major, I thought the protagonist's level of personal insight was astounding and I found myself just wanting to keep turning the pages to see what other insightful thoughts John Wayne Cleaver had to offer to the reader. Even better was finishing the book and realizing it was part of a trilogy! I can't wait for the two other novels to come out. I don't frequently recommend books to others, but I've definitely recommended this one!
I had read Dan Wells dystopian series (Partials and Fragmants-- Ruins to come out in March 2014), and decided to give his other trilogy a try. The protagonist is a fascinating character and Wells gives incredible detail into the boy's psyche. For an almost 500 page book, it's a very quick read because you don't want to put it down. There is a twist you won't expect that will keep you riveted. Highly recommend and am looking forward to reading book #2 in this series, Mr. Monster.
This book was cool until it went supernatural. I was instantly angry when John's neighbor sprouted horns and demon claws and began killing people. What a stupid book.
I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER was a great book about John Wayne Cleaver, our protagonist, and his struggles with the fact that he might be a sociopath and, even worse, he could become a serial killer. The best part about Dan Wells' first novel is the change of genre that occurs roughly midway through the book that offers its own unique twist, that at first, seems a little awkward but eventually it makes complete sense. This thriller isn't your typical hack and slash melodrama but a unique unfolding of a great story. I can't wait for the next book in this trilogy to be published.
Very good
It's kind of scary that I can somewhat relate to John Wayne Cleaver, the 15-year-old boy in this story. He has a fascination with serial killers and so do I. Where we differ is, while we both wonder what makes them tick, I just wonder why, but he worries he might become one. His therapist says he's a sociopath and has plenty of the predictors pointing towards a serial killer. That's why John has rules. He made them so he won't become one. But there's something inside him, sleeping now, but soon to stir. You see, there's a serial killer operating in his town. But it's not your normal one, or, I should say it's not human. As more people fall victim to the beast, the one inside John struggles to be unleashed. It may take a monster to kill a monster. And John worries that he won't find his way back once it's let out. The first I heard of this story was I came across the movie. Being a horror fan, I watched it. It reminded me of Dexter, the serial killer show on Showtime. I'm sure you've seen it or heard of it. John could be a young Dexter, almost. He hasn't taken to killing people, yet. John is a fascinating young man. He's intelligent and creepy at the same time. I worry whether he can keep his urges contained. He's constantly fighting with his mother. She pushes him too hard, worried about what he might do and what he might become. I'd probably be the same way, thinking I could change him, make him normal. He knows he's not normal, practices to appear that way, and tries to fit in. It's a pressure cooker under that roof, waiting to let off steam. I just hope he uses that steam on the monster and not on someone trying to help him. The first part of the story is mostly about John. About half way in you start to learn about the killer. Then it really gets going and the hairs on your arms will stand on end. It's a race to the finish with plenty of action and a great ending. About that ending. I felt like it was kind of a vindication. Well done. This is a study on character and humanity as much as it's about serial killers and beasts. I found it thrilling and down right horrific, both must haves in horror. I'm on to the next in this series, worried and excited about where John goes from here.
Absolutely fantastic, I couldn't put the book down!
A boy who believes that if he lets it all go, he will indeed become a serial killer. Pretty interesting concept. It is a bit like Dexter in a way, except our main character in this story ends up going after demons. I really don't believe that John has no emotions whatsoever. It could be because the author himself is not a sociopath, thus the feeling that John has emotions filtered through because of that. I don't know. Maybe when I read the rest of the books John will grow and actually develop the ability to feel some of these emotions he doesn't think that he can feel. Who know?

Great read
I LOVED IT! It is a horror that totally made me think of Dexter! And Dan Wells has the kind of talent that makes me jealous and happy all at the same time!
This is a solid read. It has a good level of suspense and the main character is extremely well done. The main character alone makes this book worth reading. The book does, however, progress from a murder mystery novel to more of a supernatural horror novel. This may bother some readers and was minor mistake by Mr. Wells in writing the book. I don't fully buy into the genre classification system for books, so the genre switch that occurs about 100 pages in did not bother me. Overall, this book does deserve five stars for the main character, plot and entertainment value, even if the author made a few forgivable flubs.
I loved this book. The main character John is hard to relate to, but great to watch in action. The ending was awesome. John Cleaver proves that just because you have all of the predictors for becoming a serial killer, does not mean you have to be one. His attention to detail and his specialized rules for himself were very intriguing. Getting to know him was scary and exciting. The ending was intense and a bit sad. I have an interest in real life serial killers. (BTW I am not a serial killer.) I have read many true crime and criminal profiling books. The author has done his research for this character! Well played! Highly recommended. (I do not personally know the author. Nor was I solicited for this review.) I really liked this book. I bought the next two books because this one was so fast paced, tense, and enjoyable. I read it in two sittings without much sleep. -AvidReader -AvidReader
Took me by surpise but not sure if i liked it or not.

It ended on a high note, with the market rising nearly 200 points in two days on record trading levels.
Dealers went home tired and happy, wondering what lay in store for them next week after the French referendum on the Maastricht treaty.
A few will return to their desks on Sunday evening in time for the referendum results but more will turn up early - which in the modern City of London means 6.15am - on Monday.
Fund managers - the men and women who invest billions on behalf of pension funds, insurance companies and charities - were as confused by last week's gyrations as anyone.
One seasoned professional said: 'After that experience, when we did not know what was happening from hour-to-hour, how can you expect me to predict what will happen two days from now?'
The gains were solid enough. Shares in ICI, which opened the week at pounds 10.68 and sank to pounds 10.54 on Wednesday, were changing hands by the end of the week at pounds 11.37, a gain of 6.5 per cent since the previous Friday.
Hanson, which at one point last year looked as if it might bid for the chemicals giant, saw its shares gain 14.4 per cent to 226.5p over the week.
Both companies earn a large slice of their profits overseas and stand to benefit as sterling declines. Other international earners to benefit from the euphoria at sterling's decline include Glaxo, the drugs company, Tomkins, which owns the Smith & Wesson handgun firm, and exporters such as British Aerospace.
Lord Forte became pounds 4.55m richer as the value of his hotels company jumped. But David Sainsbury saw the value of his 20 per cent stake in the supermarket company fall by pounds 5.2m as investors switched their allegiance to companies which export and those with overseas businesses.
Stock market investors exhibited an uncanny gift of foresight dueing the week.
On Tuesday, as the pound slumped they correctly guessed that the government would increase interest rates. Dealers reduced their prices accordingly.
They were proved right the next morning but to no avail. The pound continued weak despite a threatened hike to 15 per cent.
The dealers then guessed that the government would give up the fight and devalue the pound. That duly came true after the stock market had closed on Wednesday, prompting huge buying on Thursday, the busiest day since the current trading system was introduced in 1986. Investors were further encouraged by the cut in interest rates to 10 per cent.
They are now predicting a further cut to 8 per cent. Whether their record remains in tact remains to be seen next week.
The threat of higher inflation holds few fears for stock market investors as share prices traditionally offer an excllent hedge against rising retail prices.
Pension funds have 80 per cent of their assets in shares so are keen to see further rises. In many ways they were guilty of talking their own book when they went home predicting further gains next week.

Let's say you were driving across Kansas on I-70. And let's say you were bored out of your skull.
But I repeat myself…
Bottom line — should you ever find yourself in the middle of Kansas, you'd be well advised to take a break in Hays, if only to spend some time at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History (a project of Fort Hays State University). You'll enter through the glass doors under the overhang; the rectangular building hosts classrooms and lecture space (and the ticket desk), but the good stuff is under the dome.
The museum itself is just off the side of the highway, although it requires a bit of maneuvering from either of the two closest freeway exits. In any event, the museum is surrounded by low-slung structures, so its easy to spot (and there's no shortage of signs for it on I-70). Back in the Mid-to-Late Cretaceous, Kansas was on the bottom of the Western Interior Seaway, a large inland sea that split North America in two. As a result, the Sternberg Museum (as is the case with a number of museums in Kansas) has lots of good fossils of Cretaceous sea life.
You'll enter through a very generously sized lobby, with this toothy fellow (Brachauchenius lucasi — his skull is a foot longer than T-Rex's) waiting for you overhead. Gift shop's to the left, ticket desk and restrooms are right in the middle — get your ticket and head on through behind it, and you're into the museum proper.
BTW, the gift shop closes an hour before the museum — so stop first in the gift shop if you arrive later in the day. Once you have your ticket, you can take either stairs or an elevator to the second floor.
The majority of the museum (at least, the exhibit space) fills the dome you saw from the highway. There's a raised display in the center of the dome (note its palm trees to the right of center in the above photo), the cave-like area underneath it is being fashioned into a spot for exhibits. The "ring" of space around this core is split roughly 50/50 between permanent exhibit space (on your left as you enter the dome), and room for a traveling exhibit (on the right). I'd suggest you go left as you come up the stairs / elevator and head through the permanent exhibits.
The main attraction at the Sternberg (at least, judging by internet links and museum merchandise) is the "Fish-Within-A-Fish." Thought to be the most-photographed fossil in the world, this captures a rather peculiar moment in time. The larger fish (a Xiphactinus audax, just over 13 feet long) swallowed a smaller one (a Gillicus arcuatus, about 6 feet long) whole, then apparently died fairly suddenly — most likely, the Xiphactinus' dinner continued to thrash after being ingested, and caused fatal internal injuries in the process.
Xiphactinus was the largest bony fish of the Late Cretaceous, and a voracious predator (a number of their fossils have been found with partially digested prey in their stomachs). They died out when the seaway dried up some 65 million years ago. This particular fossil was excavated in 1952 by George F. Sternberg, for whom the museum is named. A diorama next to the fossil shows Sternberg's discovery of the unique find. Note that it's mirror-reversed from the fossil — the diorama shows (logically enough) the discovery of the top of the fossil, while the Fish-Within-A-Fish on the wall shows the fossil's bottom. The top side was cleaned in the field, then covered with a layer of plaster to protect it; the plaster became the fossil's background when it was subsequently flipped over and prepared for display.
After you thoroughly check out this pair (there's a nice video showing the history of the fossil), wander through the permanent exhibit displays of other Cretaceous Kansas critters, and check out the traveling exhibit in the other half of the torus. After that, it's up the ramp to a display of full-size dinosaur replicas.
I'll be discussing more of the individual exhibits within the Sternberg in future "scientific tourist" posts, so stay tuned — in the meantime, know that it's a great way to spend a few hours should you be in the "neighborhood!"

On Our Way
"We need a game to play" I said, looking expectantly at Max.
"So very true" Abbie raised an eyebrow at him.
"What? I have nothing" Max shook his head. " 'Sides, it's too dangerous in this weather"
"Killjoy" I muttered.
"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that, Sara. I think we should get moving" he said, sounding serious.
"Um, no" I gave him an are-you-crazy? look.
"We can't go anywhere in this weather" Abbie emphasised the last three words.
"Exactly. It's too dangerous" I followed her example and used his words. We both gave him two-against-one looks.
"Hey, if we're going back to your house, we need to get going"
"My house?" I folded my arms "You mean the non-existent one? Or the one that's currently a pile of bricks and ashes?"
"You only have one house"
"I don't have a house, like I've just been reminding you"
"That was not my fault" Mac got al defensive
"Never said it was"
"What the heck are you guys going on about?" Abbie pushed in.
"Oh, well-" I started
"Doesn't matter" Max interrupted
"Max was-"
"I said-"
"Making breakfast, and-"
"And it-"
"Sara. You dare"
"Exploded" I finished.
"You exploded the breakfast?" Abbie asked, and then burst out laughing.
"Yes, so he's right in saying the house burning down wasn't his fault. The explosion, however, was" I grinned. He clenched his teeth.
"We're still leaving" he told us.
"I still vote staying" Abbie grinned.
"Same here" I smiled. Then our whole makeshift camp site flashed brightly. Me and Max looked at Abbie, and she shook her head, looking confused. Thunder rolled loudly above us, but it seemed like it was everywhere.
"Let's go!" I exclaimed at the same time as Abbie.

Letter to Tom
a poem I wrote for my dad's cousin's funeral
Dear Tom,
Seated on some wispy white cloud adrift
through the winds or a misty mountaintop,
you're still here.
I picture myself sitting in your chair,
in the grooves where you sat, tracing out your
I lay in my bed crying, feeling the
sticky traces of tears drying and
missing you.
I then close my eyes and visualize
Heaven, with its bright white gates, and I see you

Arcadia Communications Lab is a global collaborative solely focused on helping established businesses get value from communicating about innovation.
It's tough pretending you're a startup. So don't.
Standing out on innovation is harder than ever, especially for established businesses. The word is overused, vague, and most often associated with startups or consumer tech. Since the real innovation that impacts customers and employees is often technical and nuanced, those stories don't get told.
Worse, when they do get told, they're often shared in a feedback loop that is as limited as it's closed. There's a robust ecosystem dedicated to let big company innovators talk to other innovators about innovation…or generate content on websites that declare it to nobody in particular. Coverage in your industry trades earns you little exposure in mainstream media.
We specialize in helping you talk about innovation to stakeholders both inside and outside your company, via diverse media that let you truly differentiate, and achieve recognition and value, for what you do.
Let us help you play to your strengths, and realize latent value.
No matter how much tech language is used, most PR is practiced the old-fashioned way: Your messaging gets developed, then staffers work "their" contacts in hope of finding homes for your stories. It's a hit-or-miss numbers game, for which you pay for effort more than outcomes.
You won't see it in your progress reports, but the innovation stories you get will read and feel much like everyone else's. Mentions of big data, the Internet of Things, or the connected [insert product here] are generic these days.
Our proprietary approach helps you identify and then play to your strengths, and thereby realize the latent value of your innovation. It has been proven with dozens of client engagements around the world.
Here it is in a nutshell:
A Big Data Context Engine
We see journalists, bloggers, and other opinion-makers as customers, not simply messengers, which means we strive to understand not only their personal proclivities, but what qualities constitute their understanding and expectations for innovation. Our proprietary Context Engine collects and aggregates this data, and then informs our clients' strategy development. We call it 'outside-in' strategy.
Real-World Integration
Once we understand the context for innovation in a particular industry, we partner with our clients to develop a strategy that directs and links its activities to that reality. This means we work with operations, not just communications and marketing, to identify the content that will accomplish our differentiation goals. Nothing has intrinsic value for us, yet everything has potential uses. Actions speak louder than words.
Strategic Creative
Our approach to creativity isn't to focus only on tactical techniques to deliver content, but net new creative approaches to how it's produced. This can include recommendations for new partnerships, programs, or even changes in product functionality or services offerings. The overriding purpose is to maximize our clients' opportunities to participate meaningfully in conversations about innovation. Less 'me too,' and more 'only us.'
An Actionable Roadmap
We don't deliver plans promising "to work with key media," or "position you as so-and-so." Our initial engagements produce actionable roadmaps that start with communications goals — what, where, and when we want outcomes — and then work backward to specify the actions, required work, cost, and likelihood of success for each step. Clients can use it on their own, or we are ready to help deliver it.
A Better Approach To Placing Content
Unlike agencies that expend endless hours 'working' with media to try and make client stories fit their needs, we get most of that work done via our Context Engine at the start of our engagements. This means we have a far better understanding of who will use what (and when), and rely on our Content Tool to aggressively manage its delivery.
We're constantly innovating communications technologies and approaches, and our clients get visibility into this work (and often participate). Our latest project is a news site, Innovation Communicator, which is intended as a resource for media and analysts interested in innovation at established public companies. We are also developing additional proprietary algorithms for our Context Engine and Content Tool client offerings.
Our partners bring unique and proven capabilities to our client engagements, and contribute to the research in our labs.
We don't reveal client names, but we've worked with the top brands in categories like computer hardware, consumer electronics, automotive, insurance, non-profits, transportation, entertainment, and retail.

I was very impressed with what I saw from NASCAR's most popular driver in the 2012 Sprint Cup Season. Dale Earnhardt Jr. went from a person who was blaming everyone and everybody for his failures on the race track, to a driver who was finally in control of his life, and his legacy. Dale Earnhardt Jr's success in 2012 appears to coincide with the addition of Steve Letarte to his pit box late in the 2011 season. Being a Jeff Gordon fan, I was upset when Mr. Hendrick made the switch, but it seems to have made both teams stronger, and who would question an owner who has over 200 wins, and the most successful organization in NASCAR.
What we saw in 2012 was a youngster who had been devastated by the death of his father at the 2001 Daytona 500, come to grips with reality, and make the decision that he indeed wanted to be a stock car driver again. That aspect came through in every interview he made in 2012, and gave me the confidence that he was on the road to recovery, and would again be a factor to deal with on the race track.
After a disappointing finish to the season, where Dale Jr. finished in 12th place after being at, or near the top of the points standings for the lion's share of the season, the question is, can the maturity and winning continue in 2013? I believe it will. He had some bad luck down the stretch, but I think he will rebound, and we will see Dale Earnhardt Jr. in Victory Lane multiple times in the upcoming season. With the success he has had on the super speedways, I look for it start at Daytona with SpeedWeek.
Most of the race teams will struggle at the start of the season while everyone gets a handle on the new car that NASCAR is bringing to the track, but Dale Jr. has been part of the testing procedure, and I can see the Mountain Dew Chevy getting off to a good start when the season kicks off in Daytona. I look for him to flex his muscle at the Shootout where he has two wins on his resume, and continue through the season. I know he is anxious to show us that his win at Michigan last June was not a fluke.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is to NASCAR what Tiger Woods is to Professional Golf. He brings fans to the television set, and the race track like no one else in the sport can. He is a polarizing figure that NASCAR needs if the popularity of the sport is going to return to the glory days of the late 90's.

Asus's Eee Box B204/B206 is HD ready thanks to Radeon graphics, B204 with UPS
Asus introduces two new versions of the Eee-Box. The versions B204 and B206 are supposed to be HD ready due to a Radeon graphics solution. The better equipped version B204 should have a built-in battery in order to bridge power blackouts.
Like the actual Eee-Box B202 the two new Eee-Boxes are provided with an Intel Atom N270 and 1 GiByte RAM. However, a not specified "Radeon HD 3400 series with 256MB DDR2 memory" and a HDMI output of the Eee Box are supposed to enable the presentation of HD material. According to Asus the power input of the B204 and B206 is about 20 Watt. Both new models differ in only two things: The Eee Box B204 is provided with Bluetooth as well as a battery which works as an emergency-power supply. For exact specifications please refer to Asus.

Hi girls. I have super thick, long hair. When I shampoo and condition I make sure I rinse well to remove all product. Usually the only products I use in my hair is hair oils and occasionally straightening spray when using a flat iron and a bit of hairspray or a smoothing / gloss spray. Recently my scalp has become itchy and is flaking in certain spots. BIG flakes that get stuck in my hair strands and I have to grasp with my fingernails to pull out. The flakes remain intact usually and as I said, they are big. Is this dandruff? Dry scalp? And if so, why is it appearing all of a sudden? I only wash my hair about once a week, sometimes twice, because my hair is colored, damaged, over processed and dry so I need hair oil and my natural oils to weigh it down so it's not a big frizz ball of puffy, parched hair. I thought maybe it was dandruff (although I thought dandruff was small flakes that fell off your scalp onto your clothes) so I used Head & Shoulders a few times and it didn't do anything. Just large flakes that cling to my hair strands in certain spots on my scalp and are itchy. What the heck is this and how do I get rid of it???
|. on May 24, 2016 @ 09:00 am
I had big flakes coming out of my scalp a couple of years ago, but it turns out I had a sunburn on my head (I didn't know that was possible!) I'm not sure if that is what you have.
|Sunburn on May 24, 2016 @ 11:14 am
Hmmmm. I never thought of that possibility. It does hurt when I scratch at the spots. I know I shouldn't but it's so itchy. You know, now that I think about it I should get my husband to check it. I have had a lot of suspicious moles removed recently and I can feel bumps where the flakes are. I wonder if I'm scratching moles. It feels like a scab almost and that the flakes are scabbed over. It sometimes bleeds in the exact same place. I guess it makes sense that I might have moles underneath all this hair. And maybe that's why the flakes are these big pieces. I have another derm appt coming up. I will ask my Dr to look. Sorry for the gross subject matter lol. Do you girls realize we basically talk about everything here??? Lol. It's like having the biggest group of girlfriends :)

Disclaimer: These characters aren't mine, I make no money at this stuff, and O, how great is my woe.
Wilson's only half right, of course. It's a habit of his, being half right, and you generally prefer it when he's entirely wrong. No such luck this time.
He's correct when he says that you don't care. He's also completely mistaken -- so five out of ten for Wilson. There's no way you'll even try to explain about this. It would take too long, and he'd never believe you anyway, because you lied about dying of cancer and now he doesn't believe anything you say. Perhaps it's your own fault, but it is still his problem.
He had two chances today, after all. He could've told you the truth when you asked. He could also have taken the cup that you offered, trusted you, and he'd never have gotten that dose. But his guard was up against you and so you let his own suspicions wreck him, which was delightfully clever of you, really. You know you probably shouldn't have done it, though, and so you hesitate for a moment when he looks you in the eye and demands that you confess. Then he accuses you of trying to kill him, which is absurd. Although you have to wonder, just for a second, whether he really thinks you would.
A dead Jimmy Wilson is absolutely not what you want, but sometimes it seems you have to just about draw blood to get what you do want, which is this:
He's standing in your living room looking lost and defeated and small, trying to explain why his dark little secret wasn't really a secret, just because he wouldn't tell you. His hero's cape has been ripped away, his bulletproof shell is in a thousand sad pieces at his feet, and what's left is your friend. The real one, who's as alone and as frightened and broken as you ever were. This is your Wilson, who's been hiding from you, and while you're sorry it took a wrecking ball to find him, you aren't the least bit sorry that you did it.
And he's only half right, because you don't care, and then again you do. Not that he's depressed and pathetic; everyone is, when you get right down to it, and there's not a damn thing you can do for him there. But you care about the fact that he's been faking it, faking it to you, pretending he's got the clues that you are lacking.
What else you care about is that he can't do what he thinks he can do, standing in his make-believe ivory tower and yelling for you to come on up. As if he didn't know that you were crippled. As if he's too good to climb down from there, admit that he walks the same muddy ground as you, and let you lean on him.
Those imaginary stairs of his would never hold your weight, anyway. They won't even hold his , and he's going to fall, sooner or later. The whole thing will give out, all the pretense collapsing in one inevitable, sickening rush. You have far too good an imagination. You know how it's likely to look, and you know that you won't be able to stop the destruction once it begins.
So you're stopping it now, taking him down by whatever means you can. It's his own fault if he gets bruised and hurt and mad at you for that. He'll get over it; he always does. And no matter what he thinks, no matter how he accuses you, this is not attempted murder. It's suicide prevention, and you will do it as many times as it takes.
