Uprising

I was completely blown away by Muse's performance at the Leeds Festival!

Shit - does that mean I'm into Prog Rock now?!

About Me

Janine Ashbless: Erotic fiction writing: it's not as wild and glamorous as you think. I spend a lot of time trying to keep my semicolons under control; I love the little beggars, but no one else does. I also worry about hyphenation - Blow-job? Blow job? Blowjob? - and am addicted to Spider Solitaire.
