another one of those (plus SG1 fic)

[cnidarian]

I've been weaning myself off LJ recently (it's optimism, I swear) because if I do well at this week-long interview next month, then I'll be sans proper internet for 15 months at a time. And that's going to be a lot of zeros after the skip

I actually went through internet withdrawal on my first RTW. I was twitchy for a week or two. And even then I had internet, just not 10 hours straight a day. I still got anxious 3 months into one trip during the fall TV season premieres. It's like my body was attuned to the TV schedule even though I hadn't watched a TV in 3 months.

Heh, yeah. I've managed fine in the past (one of the main reasons I use the internet at home is for entertainment and while I'm travelling I've got plenty of stuff going on around me to keep me entertained) and been to places with absolutely no connection to the outside world beyond physical post or sending a messenger. So it's not new. But being on the road for 15 months will be. Fortunately, TV isn't an issue at all - I very rarely watch it.

I am most sincere in wishing you well for the upcoming interview, but sans Net for 15-months at a time? Good thing I do still recall how to use the postal system. And I suppose there is always that phone thing.

And your comments to grav_ity 's listing of "porn" made me giggle. (So does this technically count as a comment to the meme part of the post? I don't know. I've already played the meme via someone else, so don't feel obligated. But, of course, I won't deprive you if there's five things you're dying to list about me.)

And you wrote fic! *bounce* And I read it and it was adorable. Janet and Jack interaction is always a good thing.

Thank you, hon! I'm not going to be totally cut off - I'll likely get to check mail and such on a semi-regular basis. I just won't be able to keep up with LJ and that's what I need to get myself used to. Poste restante isn't what it used to be, but if I know I'm going to be passing through Nairobi (for instance) it would be lovely to get a letter! Or a call of course, though that'll likely be me calling you, hopefully not in the middle of the night! ;)

I know! When she gave me the five things I was like ACK! But, as she pointed out, it is something she associates with me and I did write it first. Heh. The above commenter was one of the new people on my flist, via a travel interest, who probably didn't know about that. Ho hum

[pellucid]

How did I not know that there was a female characters drabblethon thingy going on???

And your ficlet made me giggle!!!!

Also, speaking of Jack and Janet (or in this case Jack/Janet), did you see this fic by paian? It's not so much the kind of thing I'm reading much of at the moment, but it dances around a lot of old buttons of mine. And I thought of conversations we'd had about Jack and Janet when I read it.

[cnidarian]

I...have no idea? (Also, if you fancy leaving a prompt for phoenix_gate, that'd be grand. *beams*)

Oh good! It's silliness, but yeah, words.

Dude! I did not! Thank you for the heads up. As you well know, I love their dynamic and while I cannot think of a realistic (and not pining for someone else) scenario where they'd be together, it would be mighty hot. And now I'm going to leave the tab open for a bit and savour the YEY FIC feeling. Cheers!

[cnidarian]

YES. I think everyone who's been given Daniel/Janet as a five-thing has said as much, but has to be said because IT'S TRUE. Thanks to you lovely lot, I've never experienced any ship wank first hand. In fact, for the longest time, I thought that was how nice groups usually were. *smishes you all*

[colej55]

Your story still makes me giggle! And 15 months of no Skyping with you? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Now that I've gotten that behind me, 5 things.... OK, I'm game. (Be nice, please.) ;-)

[cnidarian]

I'll try and make it onto Skype - I don't know how widespread it's got in internet cafes in Africa since I was there last. Not that I'll necessarily be sent to Africa...

ok
Tennessee, puddycats, RDA, faith, and reading porn science

bleugh, ate too much cookie dough

[colej55]

So, now I'm supposed to defend myself and explain why I think you chose those five particular associations in a post on my own LJ and invite my flist to participate, correct?

And... ahem... porn? I've read your two spicy Dan/Jan stories and I have copied down some links that YOU have forwarded to me (without my getting around to reading them yet). But if that makes me a reader of porn, then oh well! ;-)

Yum, cookie dough! If you had shared with me, you wouldn't be feeling "bleugh" - at least not by yourself!

[cnidarian]

Yup.

Heehee.
