Weapon of Choice

My goal when I started freelance writing was to save up enough money for a nice, new, geek-tastic laptop. I'm happy to say that last month, I met my goal and am as of this moment, typing on it with a satisfied grin on my face. I am a certified nerd who is in love with her own gadgets.

I had a delimma over which one to purchase. My heart told me to get an apple, but my savings account begged to differ. My teenage son wanted to to get something that I could easily run Ubuntu on. While I am a well known geek girl, I'm concentrating on my writing skills right now. When I get ready to earn my computer freak-hood badge, I'll let him know.

Instead, I decided on a Toshiba Satellite computer with Windows Vista. So far, I have absolutely loved it! I can't keep my hands off it and I think my significant other is becoming jealous. I'm curious to know what everyone's preferences are. Mac, PC, EEeeee....? What is your weapon of choice?

About Masturbation

Contrary to what you might be thinking, this article is not about my previous relationships...which can only be classified as mutual ego masturbation. Nor is it about my lovely present relationship.

Let me explain.

I've been doing freelance writing for several months now and I have to say that I am enjoying it more and more every day. I write a lot for Demand Studios which produces content for Ehow.com. I log in and choose from a list of articles to write about. A couple of weeks ago I paused as I came across the "How Does Masturbation Relieve Stress?" title.

Of couse I chose it! People always tell you to 'write what you know'. Right?

I had a little too much fun doing that article. The photo I chose was a shirtless guy pumping lotion into his hand and the article got quite comical as the process went on. So much so that I was afraid of getting a little note from my editor saying "NO WAY is this getting publsihed".
Quite the contrary, I'm pleased to report. I got a note back saying excellent writing and grammar and that it was quite clever. Also, that I should add more "hard data" to paragraph two.

HARD DATA!!! Bwahhahhhaaaaaaaa!

Since this article is for a new, unlaunched part of the site, it is not yet available for viewing. As soon as it is, I'll be sure to post a link.

However, I would appreciate it if you have time to check out a few of my favorites.

Such as:

How to Increase Your Wife's Libido

In my mind, the subtitile is: Do the Fucking Dishes.

Or you could take a look at

How to Do Unique April Fool's Pranks

Either way, I have begun to choose all the titles relating to sex and alcohol.
