I am a person who complains when they have been stuck at home for days and feels a need to be busy, problem is, when I am busy (which is often and towards the extreme end of busy-ness) I ( Read more... )

So in my procrastination from research I have been writing fanfiction. I am usually pretty shy about letting other people read it cause its usually written just to scratch my itches, BUT I really liked this one I wrote for Indiana Jones (man, a man with stubble like that should be illegal!!)
