Bahamas pics + 2010 Fic Meme

[meiface]

Back from my sunny holiday vacation! The Bahamas were warm and beautiful and unreal. The boat was less exciting, especially when rough weather made me seasick. But fruity drinks were drunk and pictures were taken and overall a good time was had. :) Hope everyone else had a lovely Christmas too!

Now I come bearing a few pictures and a fic meme!

THE WATER IS SO BLUE, *______*. also you and your brother look adorable together (his bowtie, hehehe). ♥

loling, I like how your didn't-really-write word count is is still more than my usual every-year word count, :33. SMUSHES YOU.

[meiface]

aww you really don't write as much as you used to, I feel, but you wrote Inception fic! so that is worthy of :D :D :D

[papered]

this year I did so little writing, *_________*. but oh well, that is probably because I was too busy reading inception and star trek fics. :333 by my "usual word count", I was talking about my 2009 and 2008 word counts, hehe.

YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARE ADORABLE, OMG. *melts a little inside*

Dream a Little Dream of me is amazing, Mei. I don't think I have ever expressed properly my deep and abiding love for that fic. It is one of my very favourites in the fandom and I go back to it again and again when I need to be reminded of how to write well.

[meiface]

Yes, well, I only have the one so I figure I should get the most out of him haha.

Aww N thank you. That is super nice of you to say and makes me all alskdghdf since, ugh, basically I adore all of your writing. Though I suck at reading Inception fic lately, so many of yours remain in my top favorites from that foray, and there is always your SSBB fic! I forgot if I mentioned to you or not, but the one set in that Chinese fighting school was hilarious and sweet and made me grin foolishly. ♥

YOUR BROTHER SO TALL AND SUITED

[meiface]

WELL NOT THAT TALL, HE NEEDS TO GROW AT LEAST FIVE MORE INCHES.

SUITED, HE IS, HOWEVER. Dork.

[forochel]

your brother is so much taller than you! D:

[meiface]

but I am very short! He needs to be taller than me! :O In fact, he needs to keep growing even taller!

Those are really lovely pictures! Mmm, that drink. *_*

In conclusion: good lord the weather and beaches and everything in the Bahamas were absolutely beautiful. But if you want to visit? Get on a plane and spend the time on the islands, rather than waste time on a ship, because you run out of things to do on the ship... And when you hit rough weather? Ugh. I never get carsick or airsick, but hi, Sunday was spent in misery while watching movies and popping seasickness pills. Fly, I say, fly! And hit up some non-touristy places too, because they are less picturesque but just as fascinating. (And a hell of a lot cheaper.)

This is, coincidentally, the same conclusion I came to while on the Carnival Legend last week! Except I was mostly okay with being on the ship the whole time, because I had eight cousins with me and we spent all our time playing card games anyway. (We would have been fine staying in the hotel for a week, I think.)

This year I basically quit writing, as my word count should more or less reflect.I look at your list of

[meiface]

Aw, glad you had company at least! I had a friend but we mostly read and ate and watched movies that last day - oh! I also attempted to build card houses. And I played some mahjong. /super-Chinese In my opinion, wandering around Nassau was a lot more entertaining.

Ahhhhhh well, I suppose I did write earlier, but I quit writing in the fall, so...yes... It just feels like I haven't written in forever? Idk, last year my word count was something like 177K so this year is quite a dramatic fall. Oh well, we shall see what 2011 brings for both of us!
