FFR’s Wiley Weekly Word: Abscond

Hello furless wonders,

Welcome to my new space.  Well mine, & I guess my human’s, new space.

I think we may have gotten off on the wrong foot on Sexy in Vancity, as I really am rather adorable.  I mean I am purrfect after all.  I just get a little cranky when Kittyn is around.  She has a tendency to stroke me the wrong way and make my hair stand up on end.  And the nerve to call herself ‘Kittyn’!!!  I mean really!  How can you possibly be so arrogant as to give yourself a name so fabulously feline when you’re a mere two-legger.

As far as two-leggers go, I have to admit I am rather fond of mine.  She’s not purrfect, like me, but then she’s not a cat. She can’t sit still for very long, forgets to serve me the bowls of icy cold milky stuff first, and has a tendency to go out gallivanting for ridiculously long stretches, as opposed to attending to all my needs, like a good human should.  She does, however, cuddle rather nicely, so I suppose I can overlook her short comings.

I am concerned about her writing as of late though.  She keeps writing about Vancouver events, radio shows and films and I really do find them to be rather a bore.  I am so much more worldly than that and I do want her to finish her book so that she keeps me well fed in the finest of feline cuisine along with the rather sumptuous tandoori chicken from the meat man down the road.  It is for these reasons that I feel that it is important for me to become her muse and start swatting her into action (I do, of course, mean literally). In this endeavor, I’m starting my own weekly column – Wiley Weekly Word.

This Week’s Word: Abscond

Abscond: To suddenly & secretly disappear, so as not to get caught. (ie. Think golden slobbering canine and an unwatched slab of meat)

‘My human tries to abscond with a bowl of icy cool milky stuff in the dead of night, but alas she lacks the prowess & stealth of the feline (rather she sounds a little like a clutsy elephant), so is none too secretive about her crime (because it is a crime to eat icy cool milky stuff without sharing it with the feline Goddess).’

Tune into Sexy in Vancity Radio Tonight

My good friend Kittyn has recently partnered up with former JuiceBox Radio host, Caroline MacGillivray, to launch a new radio show, Sexy in Vancity Radio.  Congratulations gals!!  Very exciting!!!

Former JuiceBox Radio producer and host, Caroline MacGillivray talks about all things sexy in Vancity. An entertaining, engaging and educational show airs on citr 101.9fm on Wednesday nights at 10pm PST.

So guess whose been asked to be a guest on the debut episode?  That’s right!  Lil’ old me!!!

Join Ms. MacGillivray as she chats up one of the original www.sexyinvancity.com girls, Emme Rogers. What does it mean to be Sexy In Vancity? Emme Rogers, dubbed by Vancouver Sun’s Gillian Shaw as “Vancouver’s Version of Carrie Bradshaw” chats to Caroline about life as a single girl in Vancity, social media and her new site www.emmerogers.com.

Quite excited about it as I’ve never guest starred on radio before.

Apparently other tangents might include:

• How to make to turn online time into face to face romantic time.
• How to save yourself from online addiction before it ruins your relationship.

Not sure that I have ever had online addiction ruin my relationships, but I love to talk and am rather opinionated, so I am sure I’ll find something to add to the conversation.

Don’t forget to tune into tonight.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

My Ears Are Burning!

Crikey – I miss one event – one event and apparently a gossip mill starts.  Really did mean to be there people, but alas I had to work.  They didn’t even try to be subtle about the gossip.  Apparently there were actual microphones involved.  Oh well, I guess I’ll forgive them, as as far as I can tell it was all positive.  May as well let the rest of you in on their sorted tales.  Here they are:

• From the keyboard of Gillian Shaw
• The Musings of the Delightfully Crazy
• Peter sharing some buzz love
• Mention on Allthetop Filmmaking News
• And Gillian’s article hits USA Today
• Not to mention GlobalTV

Oh and in response to the buzz, Kittyn of Sexy in Vancity, just made me ‘Famous in Vancity‘.  Too funny!  Thanks Kittyn!  With the introduction of the new Sexy in Vancity Radio Show, ‘Sexy in Vancity Radio‘ this coming Wednesday (March 11th) at 10pm on 101.9 FM CITR, thinking your ‘Famous in Vancity’ too Kittyn.

Kisses to Gillian, Monica,  Peter & Kittyn!  You really are all such sexily delightful devils!

Being Emme

Good Morning World!!! And welcome to my new day!

I know you’re all dying to know what I’ve been up to and I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you (or more aptly Fuzzywiggle Furrypants would and she doesn’t like getting her paws dirty).

In all seriousness, it’s time for some changes in my world – good changes – big changes. A little spring cleaning for the soul if you will.  Starting the year off with a fresh new space and a fresh new look.

What are these changes that I speak?

• Well for one, its time to finish the novel, ‘Single in the Suburbs’ that originally started me down this path.  And then get started with my Mom on it’s sequel, ‘My Mom, the Junkie’.
• Two, it’s time.  I feel ready.  For what?  Well, some gals would say ‘their Prince Charming’, for me it’s ‘My Snuggly Old Blankey’.
• Three. I’m striving for balance. I bit of a lofty goal I know, but if you don’t try, you’ll never succeed.

This new space is my journey to the above and it’s pages will be filled with the characters and settings that inspire me along the way, along with those heroes that do their best to catch me when I fall.  Because no matter how independent we are, every gal needs her heroes .

Speaking of heroes, I would be most remiss if I didn’t mention two, aside from my family, that have really helped to inspire this new space and clarify it’s direction.  An enormous thanks to Tris Hussey, you sexiest of devils, for the whisperings of WordPress themes and SEOs in my ear.  And a great big thanks to Jennifer Priest, who is coaching me on finding my path to fulfilling my dreams.  I’m finding my sessions with her to be incredibly inspirational, so I will share an account of my journey with her here.

For all the Sexy in Van City fans out there, no worries, it will continue with Kittyn.  So stay tuned as she puts her own cat spin on the site.  You can always get a blast from the past here too.  Just scroll through my ‘Little Black Book’ for  Sid’s, Sir von Ritter’s, Miss Roo’s and my old Sexy in Van City Posts.  They’re the ones dated February 2009 or earlier.

Love and Light (and as always Kisses),

Emme xoxo

Cool Night, Hot Dates

If you don’t have plans for Valentines, you should check out the moonlit snowshoe tours at Cypress Mountain.  Kittyn and my dates there were positively steamy.

In case you haven’t guessed it, I am a bit of an outdoors girl and I love the snow.  So you couldn’t plan a more ideal date for me, than last night.  Tromping through the woods, headlamp off (in my case), watching young lovers steal a few kisses behind the trees, moon out (which apparently someone was howling too), and chocolaty, fruity goodness of a fondue in the warming hut.  Was totally in my element, as was my date.

Kittyn is a bit more of a city girl, but once she picked herself up from her first fall she looked like she was having a good time, as was ‘Savannah’.  The two were excellent partners in crime in sussing out any and all potential suitors on the hill, including my date.

The only thing that would have made the night better, would have been being on a real date with my mystery guy.  That said, ladies, Keith makes a damn fine date and is one heck of a good kisser.  Lovely soft lips.

Contemplating suggesting a cross-country ski adventure ending in a beer and some music at Hollyburn this coming Saturday with the mystery man.  Really wouldn’t be too shabby of a way to spend Valentines night.
