quick little randomnesses

May 16, 2012 14:31

It has been a busy week. I suspect Part Eight of the Continuation will have to wait until next week; I meant to work on it tomorrow, but I have a science fiction symposium to attend...However, there might be an excerpt up in this post near the end, so...read on? While I babble about things, and ask you all a question?

( six possibly-interesting things on my mind )

fic recs, i love my job, promises of fic to come, fandom: x-men: first class, maybe original fic?, life

1. I'm very sorry to hear that the baby is so stubborn D: C'mon little one (Is it a boy or a girl, if you don't mind me asking?), everyone is waiting for you!!

2. Aaah, McFassy prompt-a-thon. I've posted a prompt there, as well. I'm not sure that I'll write something, though. Not that I'm very busy lately, just very lazy. (I know I should feel guilty about that, but I'm not, oh dear.)

3. YES! Yes and yes again! By all means! *waits impatiently*

4. Ooooh, it does sound interesting! I'll check it out ASAP.

5. The quote of I-do-not-think-this-verb-means-what-you-think-it-means category made me giggle :3 I bet you read a lot of interesting things while grading the papers!

6. Yes to all of the things from this expert! Blue eyes trademark *tries not to laugh* It's brilliant!

1. It is a boy! And still no changes! You'd think a third one (note: Awesome Husband and I are resolutely childless for now, so, these are as close as we get) would be easier, but no, apparently not! *all frustrated ( ... )

1. A booooy!~ Have they decided on the name?
A third one? Wow, um- that's one big family (not that it shocks me *that* much, I have two siblings, as well ;D) ♥ Ah, yes. I remember you saying that right now, you're not thinking about children. But you do get along with your brother's kids, right? :)

2. *flails a bit* Thank you! *hugs you* And there's nothing to apologize for! Life is life~

3. Soon is good. Yes.

4. I'm reading it right now, actually. I haven't reached the sex part yet, though. But! It's very lovely ^^ (Oh boy, I'm sorry for my grammatical fails, it's hard to think in English sometimes, since- you know- I'm Russian.)

5. Di-different time zones? ... *tries not to laugh* Really? Time zones?

6. I can't believe that I wrote 'expert' instead of 'excerpt'. *is ashamed* God dammit, fingers! Type correctly, please! I'm replying to the English professor here and you fail me so D:

(Read it. Thank you, with all of my heart, love. I'm replying to you right now~)

1. I think they're going with Evan William (which makes me laugh every single time, because 1- I don't think they realize that Evan is a Welsh name, not Irish; and 2- to any medievalist, the combination of Welsh-Norman names is HYSTERICAL; this child is Gerald of Wales; oh GOD--!). This one was sort of...unplanned. They thought they were done after two, and then...surprise! And, I think we get along with the first two kids okay...Awesome Husband is in general better with kids than I am (more patient), but I like to think I'm good at coming up with imaginative games to play. And the oldest one is almost seven, and he's a total geek kid, so we can talk about Star Wars and superheroes with him ( ... )

1. That is truly, um- a weird combination. Sure, it's their choice, but maybe it's better to explain why it sounds so strange? I mean, it's nothing to get offended by, so you should tell them. Unplanned? Oh well, these things happen. If they can afford it and *want* that baby then bless them!
Ah, it's great that you get along! I can relate to some extent- I don't know what to do around my two nephews. One is 6 and the other is 1,5. But on the other hand, I can't get enough of my niece ♥ She's just 6 months old but ohmygod she's so wonderful~ /end rant, sorry

2. Before finishing other things, get better, okay?

3. POST ALL THE ORIGINAL THINGS! *pleading eyes*

4. Read it. It's really wonderful. The trust between them made me melt into goo. Also, if you're interested and haven't read it Fool me Once, Fool me Twice is something mind-blowing. It's 50k words, but holy-! It hurts so good ( ... )

1. ...I've tried, but I'm not sure anyone who's not a medievalist gets why it's funny. (If you are a medievalist, or a postcolonialist, it's hilarious...) Oh, well, it's not MY baby ( ... )

raffi May 21 2012, 06:31:55 UTC

1. Ah, if you did try to explain this, then I guess you did the best you could, right? And yes, it's not your child.

I guess energetic kids are a good thing, but god- I can relate! I can't keep up with my nephew, as well. And just as you said, I pray for my child(ren) to be calm and not so bouncy.

Baby girls are just adore-worthy. I suspect it's automatic. Yes!~ ♥ She's so adorable, I can't even- and the thing that amazes me the most is how calm she is. I heard her cry just *once* (and I visit my sister twice a week, for good 5-7 hours ( ... )
