Someone Kick Me! (Adding to the 11/17)

So I have no idea how I forgot – on the 11/17 thanks to Sara, that I failed to mention she was the actual creator of our infamous saying of, “That Kicks Rocks.” Me, her and Paul were going somewhere, and talking about something, when Sara exclaimed, “That Kicks Rocks!” She had, in her apparent excitement of whatever it was we were talking about, meant to say “That Rocks” and “That Kicks Ass” – and came out with, “That Kicks Rocks.” That became a saying between the three of us for quite some time, as we kept laughing about it.

So naturally, when I had the chance, I wrote it into the series.

The entire series has all kinds of references to people in my life, as well as movies, video games, books. Even our company name of FNBH comes from my former boss (and still good friend, Suzi Carr). One night, she had asked Paul and I if we wanted to go drinking with her (we all worked together at one time), and we declined, and she said, “Oh, that’s right. It’s Friday. Isn’t this one of your Friday Night Blood Hunt things?” (She meant, “Is this the night you play Dungeons & Dragons?”) So when it came time to name the company, we named it FNBH (Short for Friday Night Blood Hunt).

For me, Neverending Nights, wasn’t just about me wanting to write a story. It was very much a way for me to include people and various references (whether books, games, or movies) that have impacted my life in various ways. It was a way for me to write a story, and pour my heart and love into it – and include all these things from people, movies, and games that changed me, shaped me, and helped me become who I am. Neverending Nights was my way of saying thank you for all you have done.

So if I have not said it – thank YOU, all of you – whether you’ve changed my life, watched the series, or accidentally stumbled across this site and now wondering what you’ve gotten yourself into.
