Royal Musings

Yes, yes, I know, it's been a long time, but I've been so busy! We took a break from traveling so I could finish all the details for the wedding. Yep, I'm finally getting married! Who would've thought *teases*. No, but Adonis and Jason proposed on Valentine's Day in Paris *sigh* It was beautiful and we'll leave it at that *wink*.

But we were back in Cali so the guys can do some racing, I can plan, Piper and her mates can do their thing, and yea, all that *grin*. Also, Max and Mars are loving us being home even though we had them at the London house while we were traveling. I'm happy to be back home too, I forget sometimes how tiring traveling can be, though it was a LOT of fun to show the guys places we've been. Especially for Piper when she showed them some of the haunted places. She of course did get a kick out of them being scared *grin*, but they got her back for it.

I don't think we'll be back traveling until after the summer. After my wedding, my mates and I will be on our honeymoon (mm now if only they'd tell me! But I've got some yummy stuff planned that they don't know about) for a month or so, and Piper and her mates will be taking their honeymoon. I think it's a month as well but two months is sticking in my head. It'll probably be that long too with the way Dom is *grins*, not that Piper will ever complain about that. I think the guys will probably open their businesses back up, do summer racing, and all that. Piper and I still plan to check on them at least once a week while we're gone.

Hum, what else? *thinks* I could tell you what I have planned for my wedding. Well some of it *grin*. It's a beach wedding and we'll do it here at the Cali house. Much easier. We'll have the reception here as well. My mates will look hot *sighs dreamily* Mm ahem *clears her throat* Where was I? Oh yes, the wedding, what it looked like, not how the mates look *wink*. I'll just leave it at a beach wedding and I think that pretty much explains it *grins*.

My mates are waking up and I'm pretty sure I'm suppose to be in bed with them *grin* See ya!

So, it only took more than six months but I finally managed to get ONE closet cleaned and sorted through. I took all the clothing and shoes and accessories that I stopped wearing and were just laying around collecting dust to the shelter that I had brought other items to in the past (Dom, do you remember that?). I also took Jordan's as well since she's been a bit busy with her mates and her wedding coming up. The people at the place were very welcoming and grateful to have the donations and I'm just happy that they can go to people who need them and want them.

I've started thinking about it lately, more often than not, that I want to start helping out charities and people who help kids - especially kids from homes that were like Jordan, Jason, Scott and my homes as we were growing up. We were lucky to have Don and Ricky and the rest of the guys around to make sure we were becoming the men and women we could be. Most kids however, don't have the same privilege that we had and I want to help out as much as I can. I know I don't have the time to really devote to it but I hope that by using the means that I have available in my disposal, I can at least help in some way - mostly anonymously.

This is just a small update to let everyone know that yes, we are still alive and kicking (and screaming and pulling hair in some cases), and we'll be back before you know it.

Good things are to come in the future.

Who: Piper, Jordan, any of the muses
Where: Hm...a park or someplace fun!
When: Afternoon-ish
Status: Incomplete / OPEN
Summary: Just interaction on a boring Friday (don't think that should be allowed. Fridays are about FUN and FUNNESS)
Rating: ...depends on the couples and the people involved.

Piper watched the guys play basketball at the court and grinned. It was nice when they had times like these. They were back in the states for a little while which meant races on the weekends and hanging out with friends as much as they could. While she loved traveling - she also enjoyed being at home and being in their own bed(s). She looked around the park before relaxing on the bench, it had been a nice idea to come out and enjoy the weather.

For years we've heard about this wonder that is "blogging" and now Danielle and myself have finally started to use it.

Not honestly sure how much it'll be updated considering what our days usually tend to end up being but you never know I suppose.

Let's see, we're both really old (that's all you'll get from us), strong willed (runs in the family), strong magic users (some of the strongest), and we're pretty hot if we do say so ourselves, for our age anyway.

We're not pretty popular around here anymore so we don't expect anything in the form of comments or messages. Can't be popular everywhere, I suppose.

Anyway, Danny and I will probably take turns posting so next time you'll hear from her. Until then, I'm signing off. There's work to do.

-Courtney (and Danny!)

So I finally decided after a few months of debating, to get myself one of this journal things.

The upside? I'll get to bug Jordan and Adonis as well as Les, Scott and Dom.

The downside? Not sure how much I'll really use this thing.

So...

Let's see, a little about me...

My name is Jason (J-A-S-O-N, and I'm a meth addict sorry intervention time) and I am nearly immortal thanks to my wonderful mates and Piper (or Les as most of us still like to call her).

Let's see...I love racing (awesome at it if I do say so myself), working on cars, getting the traveling bug so i'm starting to love traveling around...hm I like hanging out with our friends, playing sports and video games.

Guess that's all I really have to say right now. I'll post again probably when I get the hang of this thing better. We'll see.

Ha, so once I saw Piper do this, I really couldn't resist *grins*

So here it is, and awww I don't mind this future *teases with a grin*

( Click! *grins* It's interesting )

Piper stared at the blinking cursor then blinked before she sighed reluctantly.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Everything she had tried didn't seem to work. Music didn't work. Just typing anything that came to mind didn't work. It seemed that her muse had left her for greener pastures or at least a sandy beach with fruity drinks that had umbrellas. That sounded good actually. She shook her head from the thought and closed down the document before shutting her laptop.

It was quiet at Majestic today, least so far it was. She was sure it was only a matter of hours before the guys would start waking up and moving about. She had gotten up early to see if she could possibly write at all but after a few hours of staring at the screen, checking her email, drinking coffee, staring at the screen, going out for a jog and then staring at the screen again - she had started to realize she should have just stayed asleep.

Piper shook her head and stretched her legs out. "I shouldn't have bothered waking up so early," she muttered to herself.

I like cooking. It’s fun when you get to try new recipes out or just try something new all together. I’ve learned a lot from my mate, Adonis; course, he does more cooking than I do which some of his new recipes for the restaurants are sooo good *sigh*.

I’m pretty good at cooking, love baking the most or making Italian dishes.

A really great thing about cooking is when you do it with someone else. It’s always so much fun and it’s a way to bond as well. I love cooking with any of the guys, my mates, and Piper. Course, sometimes those end up in food fights *grins* but those are fun to do.

Which job shall we talk about?

Being Queen of Hell?
I do that job because it's just a part of who I am. It's helped shape me to who I have become in the past couple of years. It's brought me closer to Dom and a little bit closer to Adonis (though he and I aren't likely to admit it). Plus, what girl doesn't always dream of being a princess and someday queen?

My job as a future CEO/Owner of Nano?
I've enjoyed my job as an international relations rep and consultant for the past five or more years, and slowly built a professional relationship with my boss. I'm glad that once he retires he trusts me enough to take over his company. I do it because I really honestly enjoy it...well...minus the stupid people that I come across and who don't know how to do their jobs.

I typically do my jobs because I do honestly like them - least most of the time. Yes, both of them require a lot of time, but I've started to get ahold of this time management thing.

I always did enjoy being busy...

It isn’t something I care to think of, so reason why this post will be very short.

My greatest loss is losing my (or well Adon/Ben and I's) unborn baby boy. It’s the worse feeling when it happens *sigh*.

I don’t care to go into details on this.

If I had been asked this before I met Piper, I would say love causes heartache (especially if you’re a vampire).

But now? Love is one of the greatest things a person can experience. It does have its ups and downs, but what is something so great without challenges? The ups and downs bring you closer in the long road, at least if you truly love a person.

I don’t know where I’d be if I had never met Piper, and Scott. To love them is the greatest thing in my life. It’s at the top of my list and will never move down from number one.

So, if you ever find a love that consumes you, never let it go, as you’ll regret it the rest of your life. Hold on to it, cherish it, fight for it, as its worth nothing if you don’t.

Considering I'm not dying anytime soon, most of the people I grew up with won't be alive to say anything when/after I've passed.

But I'm sure if they were alive, some would be glad I was gone. As such they would probably say things such as, "it's about damn time" or "it was only a matter of time before she killed herself." I'm not so naive to think that everyone just adores me and loves me - I can be a handful at times after all.

Those who weren't glad would say nicer things about me, I'd hope. Things like "I'll really miss her" or "Are we sure she's not just playing around with us and actually still alive?" are sure to be said at least once or twice.

But like I said, I'm not going to be dying anytime soon so if anyone wants to say anything about me then they can tell me face to face.

Yes, I know, a bit late for this, but oh well.

Who am I?

A pretty loaded question if you ask me, I take it you want a deeper meaning than I’m a vampire and old? Hm, yes, well, lets see:

I’m…
a very old vampire
a mate
a lover
a husband
a sire
a fighter
a private person
the King of Hell (Obviously)
a friend
an old prince from Spain
serious
loving and caring
a worse enemy to some
a guy (or vamp) who doesn’t like anyone messing with his family

Hm, so yes, I’m a 500+ year old vampire and I haven’t made it this far by being stupid.

This is who I am.

Mm, let's see what would I choose as a complete dinner? That's a hard one since I have so many favorites and it changes all the time. There's days when I rather have Chinese or Mexican or Italian or a really good steak.

But if I chose one for today, I would go with Italian and in that case I would first have a salad with dressing, probably a ceaser since that is my favorite.

Then I would have Adonis' chicken fettucinni alfredo. He makes the best chicken fettucinni alfredo that I've ever tasted. Pefect chicken, great tasting pasta and wonderful sauce - it's just a great dish. I'd also have a piece of garlic bread to go with it.

Yes, that's exactly what my favorite meal is currently.

Hm, maybe I can see if he can make that tonight.

That sounds just perfect.

This is a tough question. Upon impulse I would say my worst enemy was myself and considering I'm a vampire, that could be true. The same could be said with fire.

If I don't find ways to entertain myself through the hundreds of years that I'm alive, I'm sure to drive myself nuts. Now that I have my mates though and our friends - I'm sure I will find new and interesting things to do with my time.

Fire, well...I'm a vampire - if I catch on fire without realizing it then it could be too late. I could burn up and die right then and there. I haven't had that problem yet though so here's hoping I don't.


I rather not die, again, just yet.

So what do you want to know?
What is my passion in life?
What time do I feel passion for something or someone?

My passion in life, what I like to do that makes my life or unlife meaningful is cooking. I went to school to be a chef and turned out to be a damn good one if I say so myself. I love cooking and discovering new foods and recipes. I like trying new things that I've never tried before as well as reliving old classics that I never get tired of.

Being with Jordan and Jason is also right there, tied into it. I love being with those two, whether it be just hanging out, in bed, watching a movie, holding them, whatever it may be. Those two are my unlife.

God I really am turning into a sap...

One of the happiest? Well there's really several but because of the lack of time and space that is needed to branch out on those happy moments, I'll choose one.

The day that Dom told me he loved me and the day that Scott told me he loved me had to be the happiest moments of my life. That's two? Well okay, technically it's two but I figured because they are the same thing only with two people, it would count as one. Can I get on with it? Right.

Although the day that Dom told me he loved me was one full of surprises and frustration, it also was a day that I could get what I've been holding in for the longest time off of my chest. I had always found him to be amazingly strong and handsome, always wanting to be with him and just talk and laugh with him but never could. He was my best friends (at the time) surrogate brother and I took that as a 'no pass' zone. After he told me he loved me though? There was no way I was going to hold back and tell him that I didn't love him especially when I didn't know when and how we would ever get back home.

The day that Scott told me he loved me was also a fantastic day. I'd known him for what seems like forever and we were as close as two could ever be. Between the late night talks, the childhood pranks, the stargazes at night something between the two of us grew and there wasn't anything stopping the love between us. It seemed only natural that we would be together on down the road and that we would only get closer.

Yeah, those or rather that was the happiest moment of my life. There is no one else I rather be with but Dom and Scott.

Just one?

I have quite a few really; Jordan and my mating, Jordan/Jason and my mating, the first time I told Jordan I loved her, the first time she told me that she loved me...and then I think the time that made me the most happiest when she told me, as Adonis, she loved me.

It had been after a rather long night for the both of us and it had also been around the time that I had become Adonis (which is yet another confusing and long story).

She told me that she loved me, as Adonis. Yeah...I can be a sap. Whatever.


Closed to everyone but Dom and Jordan

What do I want? *ponders that* I think its the simple things I want, that people take for granted.

Not sure what I mean? Well its things like these:

Being held by your special one(s)
Loving someone and having someone love you
Laughter
A beautiful sunrise or sunset
Having a/Being with family that cares and loves you
Dancing in the rain

It's those types of things I want and will always want. I don't really care about beach houses or mansions, nor do I care about expensive fast cars (though I do love them...). It is simple things such as love, laughter, happiness, joy, etc that I want.

Course, I love what I already have, which is many of what I just suggested.

But, if you meant what do I want right now? I surely don't want material things

I wouldn't mind tying Adonis to the bed and ravishing him *grin*
Mm, and I'd love to see him and Jason together. It's just so damn hot! Ahem
Part of me wants to say lets get married now instead of waiting, buut I like how the wedding plans are coming along *grin*

Those and I want a family with my mates. One day, some day. Who knows if it'll happen. And I know, everyone says you'll have forever to have a family (which in my case I do) and to enjoy life without burdens or responsibilities while you can. Yea, I've kind of already done that, mostly anyway and probably still will. But forever can be looked at as a long time.

Anyway, that is what I want *nod*

I am not so ashamed that i'd apologize for something that i've done, 98% of time. However, there has been one thing that I wish I had apologized for and okay, I have apologize over and over.

She know's who she is and she knows the situation. However, we've worked past it and our friendship continues to grow through the years. For that, I love her dearly for.

What it was? That is something i'll never share with another person other than those who already know and I trust they won't tell anyone either. It comes down to this: with each experience that I've had, I've learned something from it. In most cases, I don't feel bad having done what I've done and having the experiences that I've had. Course...some of them weren't the best choices but that can be said for everyone.
