Saw one of those memes going around - “Post the first line/paragraph of your last 20 fics.” I never post in the order that I write - my organization is mayhem - but I have this folder of finished fics that are just waiting for a final read-thru and some header info and I happen to have 20 fics in there, so that’s where I’m pulling these lines from ( Read more... )

I kept meaning to get this all written up, just some numbers on my word counts for 2013. I actually kept track throughout the year because the previous year, when I added it all up, I realized I was just 750 words short from hitting 100k and there was no way I was going to let that happen again. Especially this time when I added it up at the 6- ( Read more... )

Being sick has sparked a lot of hospital nightmares. As I sleep, I can tell how sick I feel and that sparks medical thoughts in my brain or something. I keep dreaming about having heart-attacks, because the albuterol is making my heart race. And one night I dreamed that K died of a heart-attack, but before that we had hooked up, and I woke up ( Read more... )

So, clearly, I gave myself some leeway on being sick this month because I missed three entire weeks of writing in a row. It’s the first time I haven’t written at least 500 words in a week in almost two years. November also seems to be the lowest word count I have had since I started having weekly word goals back at the beginning of 2012. I was ( Read more... )

Yeah, about to spam this on you, because the end of the year is coming up and I am putting together my tally. October was the beginning of me being sick, but I still was running high from breaking 10k for four months in a row, so apparently I was trying really hard to hit that mark again. Still, I didn’t do too bad. 8k is acceptable for any ( Read more... )

So I managed to watch the Tigers’ final game of the regular season against the Miami Marlins and I just wanted to say ‘hats off’ to the Marlins’ Henderson Alvarez for pitching a no-hitter in the game on Sunday. CONGRATS, ALVAREZ! It’s a rare thing, the no-hitter - only 3 pitched in the entirety of the MLB this season and only 6 in the history of ( Read more... )

Well, I've been sick. I feel like I've said that a lot lately, but this time it wasn't 'under the weather' or exhaustion or whatever...it's a stomach virus. It's like 'spent two hours in the bathroom yesterday' sick and 'had to call my mom to come stay with me' sick. I'll spare you the TMI details, but on the upside, I'm feeling a little better ( Read more... )

Last week The BFF and I were in the car and she had a milkshake and she goes, "This is too thick and hard to drink in the car," and I said, "So what you are saying is that it is hard and thick?" And she goes, "Yes. It is hard and thick and I am sucking it into my mouth." And then we both busted out laughing because we are that mature. What ( Read more... )

I bought The Nephew some Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books for his birthday - (my brothers and I used to be so into those as kids) - and I just read through one to see if it was any good. I went on three different adventures in the same book and got three different endings; the embassy sent me back to the United States and I had to give up my quest ( Read more... )

I saw this meme the other day at princesslanie’s LJ and I thought I’d give it a quick go. For some reason there were only 49 questions and despite liking to end on an uneven number, I added a #50, for the sake of closure.
