Bio:

I like to read, and occasionally I like to write.  I used to write fan fiction way back in the day (when I was *cough* twelve *cough*

I started reading fiction again because of SomethingBlue42's (Un)Tying the Knot story, which is how I found this dandy community.  I'm happy to be here, and I look forward to reading all y'alls wonderful fan fiction.

As for me personally...I'm a New Yorker who "grew up" in the Tennessee, and now resides as a hippie in California--and even though *NSync introduced me to pop music, I feel like the boys have kind of followed me around languidly ever since.

So, again.  Here I am.  And yeah...I *may or may not* put Giddy Up in my iTunes mix from time to time.  I'm just sayin'. 

That is all.

Past Featured Story

Justin Timberlake was going back to school. He knew that he was going to be in hell on earth indefinitely because he wasn't going to just any school. He was going to attend the toughest, strictest boarding school in the country to prove to the public and his fans that he could indeed survive school life after being issued the challenge on live television. And, he was going in prepared for whatever his school life experience would dish out at him. There was just one flaw in his little plan. He was prepared for everything except the last thing he ever thought would happen to him while attending Higher Heights Boarding School...falling in love. Like that wasn't disaster enough, he had to end up falling for the most unlikely candidate in the entire school who wasn't even his type which only proved to Justin that the biggest challenge he was going to face, was yet to come...

OMG.  Can't wait 'til part two!  Haha...I loved that he called her a stupid girl when he's admitting his feelings.  Such a man!    I didn't think they were going to get through this! 

Eek!   



Author's Response: Yes, Part 2 is almost done, I know you guys are waiting and I hate waiting for the really good parts myself. idk. lol. And yeah, Justin was very much a guy with the way he got his feelings out to Lilah but at least they were loud and clear. :) We'll see how they turn out yes? Thanks for the feedback.

You get your fifteen, and then they take the spot
And then you're ready to go
Cause it's the end of the show
So just get ready to go
All the time that you were gone
Thought about how things went wrong
Now you're coming down to earth
Ok, hello, welcome to the world
She saw the bright lights
She caught the fever
She got contagious
She never leave it
So no more time spent
In fact this free ride has reached its destination
Hello, welcome to the world

Sequel To "Waking Up In Vegas"

I really dig the story--but I just have to say, I'm a big confused.  Are they married, or are they just boyfriend/girlfriend?

Author's Response:

well thank ya!

ah yes... this is actually the sequel to a story called Waking Up in Vegas. I would highly recommend reading that first because without it, a good portion of this one will make zero sense.

It was just a one night stand, and that's all it was ever supposed to be.  But now Adah James has found herself pregnant and there's only one man it could be.  Unfortunately for Adah, that man is Justin Timberlake.

Author's Response: I'm sorry :( I just know that it's probably going to be a while before i get back to this story.  But, on a good note, I've been rolling around some ideas for a sequel to Hey Jude (if you've read it) and I might be coming out with something like that. :)

I gave up coffee and cigarettes

I hate to say it hasn't helped me yet

I thought my problems would just dissipate

and all my pain would be in yesterday

But it's true

I'm still blue

But I finally know what to do

I must quit

I must quit you

The light's on in your window

So I know that you can't sleep

I'm down here with a secret

That I ain't prepared to keep.

Sometimes things are over,

Sometimes over doesn't last.

Sometimes I can't find my way back home

‘Til the bottom of the glass,

But honey, I'm sorry now.

Honey, I'm sorry now.

Honey, I'm sorry now.

I build it up and I tear it down.

But, honey, I'm sorry now

 

I was thinkin' as I stumbled,

Like a thousand times before,

I always seem to end up

Back in pieces on your floor.

It breaks your heart and then you tell me

That you're a fool to let me in.

And I promise this won't happen anymore

‘Til I do it all again.

But, honey, I'm sorry now

Honey, I'm sorry now

Honey, I'm sorry now.

I wanna be better, but I don't know how.

Honey, I'm sorry now

Honey, I'm sorry now

Honey, I'm sorry now

Seems like every time I let you down,

But, honey, I'm sorry now

 

And next time I come back, love,

Know that it's not really me

Who's down here with a secret

That I ain't prepared to keep

great story.  you painted the emotion very well, although I think that Kerri is stupid to think he'll change. I think you should  continue this...it's a good setup. :)

 



Author's Response:

oh girl, me too!! i owe kate for introducing me to him! he makes me happy! as far as adding more, i might. like i said to the other girls, i've got sooooo much going on in real life right now that i'd die if i had to take another thing on but i'm not ruling it out!

ps -i need more of 'the love series'  i'm addicted!

"I stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe, he was playin' with his band. I've always been a sucker, had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand. His words were like heaven in my hurricane. My knees buckled under, I thought everyone was watchin' me, watchin' you save my life with the song."

Baya was en route to starting a new life. Tired of the same old and itching for something more, her first step was to start fresh and new and that began with leaving her home town and moving to California. It was suppose to be a typical trip to get there but life has a funny way of panning out. Could one night in a hotel cafe change everything?

I initially started reading this story 'cause I thought you were writing about the actual Hotel Cafe in LA (since she is moving to Cali and all).

But even though the hotel cafe ended up being in Nashville, I still love this story.

Your depiction of driving pretty much sums it up.  I've moved from NY to TN to CA (coincidentally), and each of those places holds a special place in my heart.  And every time I remember the drive, I remember wanting to shoot myself in the face.

Looking forward to reading more.  Love to find more about her encounter with Justin after the show--if there is one.  Or perhaps their life is ill-fatedly intertwined. :)

Keep up the good work. (ps--I highly suggest all y'all check out the Hotel Cafe.  The only music place that's like family here, and they're notorious for great performers in the singer/songwriter scene.  They helped discover Meiko, Colbie Collait, Ernie Halter, and Thao with the Get Down Stay Down).

Anyway... keep it up!



Author's Response: First of all, I'm glad you're enjoying this. Second of all, without giving anything away, I can just say that I do know what Hotel Cafe in LA is and just be paitient;) I have plans my friend, I have plans! Thanks for reviewing!

Oh goodness!  I loved it, thank you for writing this! :)  I loved how you chose Britney and the *N Sync days, and how you made him a young father.  I think you really captured the emotion of what a kid at that age would do.  

My favorite part was when Justin asked JC to be the Godfather, because he was like a dad to him...and then the protection line he used when he asked about the sex of the baby was just so ironically hilarious.

 

Overall, great story.  Really loved it--including the picture at the end.  Thanks for writing it! 



Author's Response:

Whew. Thanks, I'm so glad you liked it. I didn't know if you'd like the format but I'm really glad you did. I figured it would be better to have him as a young dad because that's what happens a lot nowadays, unfortunatley.

The protection line. It made me laugh really hard when I was writing it. And you're totally welcome for the story. I'm up for more challenges if you dish 'em out.

 

I settled down
A twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well
You would’ve never known

I had it all
But not what I wanted
Cause hope for me
Was a place uncharted
And overgrown

You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this

You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So, I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more


Open your eyes
Like I opened mine
It's only the real world
A life you will never know

Shifting your weight
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
But, only for so long

You look like I did
You resist me just like this

You can't tell me to heal
And, it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more

The truth never set me free
So, I'll do it myself
 

"Careful"-Paramore

okay...

these two make my effing head hurt.  Lucas is sucha  massive jerkface.  Justin is obviously an asshole, and Madison, well...she's stubborn as ever.  I just get so mad sometimes at them--it's like...they try to change, and they fucking don't.

However.... I'm glad that Justin kissed her.  Kudos to him for growing a pair and going for it.  And I'm glad that Madison finally stood up and said Justin was it for her.  It's both obvious they love each other, so they should both just get on with it.  Before I smack the shit outta both of 'em. :)

 

The next update will be interesting for sure. 

Yayayayaya!



Author's Response:

lmao oh they soooo need the sense smacked into them. they're not so much with the smart. haha.

Girl.  If I were in your story, I would beat Madison upside the head.

She makes me so angry.  lol.  Not as angry as Keri, mind you.  But she's up there with her crazy irrational behavior.  And what a way for Justin to find out! 



Author's Response:

lol ah yes... she's very good for that sometimes!

thank ya lady! i appreciate it a ton!

Nina and Justin are moving in together for the first time in their brand new dream home.  They're hosting a housewarming party the following evening but Nina wants to make sure Justin feels a warm welcome too.

John Doe by musicmel (NC-17) [Comments - 125]

 

            The day she accepted the position as the Vice President of Marketing/Public Relations at Shinetime Entertainment, Emily Clarkson knew she was now running the biggest public relations firm in the country. The company handled thousands of actors/actresses and musicians, some of the biggest names in the business. She was ecstatic to have the job but some of the horror stories she has heard of these ‘celebrities' throwing tantrums like a five year olds were not going to sit well with her. If they wanted to act like a child, she was going to treat them like one.

            Little did Emily know that there was someone that was going to change her entire world, someone she least suspected. Someone she thought she would never cross paths with. Someone that makes her see life in a new way.

            Could someone that she didn't know come into her life and change her every way of life? Could this stranger be the one thing she really needed in life? Or would the stubborn part of her continue living life the way she has for twenty nine years.

Anyhow...I'm glad that she finally opened up to Justin, although I'm a little sad that their relationship has gone so fast.  I feel like I would like to see them more together, but I have a feeling that you'll give an awesome surprise. :)

Keep up the good work.  Loving it.
