Dear Yuletide Santa,
First things first, thank you so much for going to the effort to write a fic for me!

Random
- Thanks to everyone who offered their advice and support on the dating thing the other day. I'm way behind on comments. I just don't seem to have 5 minutes to myself these days and when I do all I want to do is sleep. Just FYI the situation has taken a strange turn and I'll relate the rather amusing story when I get a chance ( Read more... ) -
Relationship Age Gap Double Standards and Thoughts
*waves*
Hey, guys, long time no see. I’m so behind on everything. Working two jobs is no fun whatsoever.
So, I come here today partly with a quandary which is partly based in real life and partly based in fiction and/or fandom.
That quandary is why does it not seem really weird that women date, marry, or whatever with men that are 10, 15, or so years ( Read more... ) -
Weird Dreams and Strange Cravings for Fanfic
* Last night, I dreamed I was at a theme park with Charlie Cruise from Life. There wasn't a murder or anything. We were just there riding the rides and having a good time. It wasn't one particular theme park, just kinda and amalgamation of the awesomest parts of all the theme parks I've ever been to. I do distinctly remember we had food from ( Read more... ) -
History Channel Doesn't Know History and Life Stuff
Dear History Channel,
I think you need a fact checker for the summaries of your programs On Demand, because I don't think this is accurate for the program titled 'Custer's Last Man: Little Big Horn':
One of the most important battles of the Civil War, the Battle of Little Big Horn was thought to have no survivors. New evidence suggests one soldier ( Read more... ) -
Fic Rec, Sam/Baal, and dark!fic in the SG1 Fandom
I've got a fic rec for you and it may seem like an odd one coming from me being a rather firm Sam/Jack OTPer. But I am a big fan of this author's S/J fics so I felt certain that it would worth reading and it was.
Gleaming Animals by missparker
Pairings: Sam/Baal, Sam/Jack
Warning: Dubious Consent
Sam wasn’t sure how she kept managing to get herself ( Read more... ) -
Best Teacher EVER!!!!
My great aunt is in the hospital and I went with my parents to visit her today. One of my aunt's neighbors who went to school with my dad was there and for some reason they got on the subject of some of the teachers they had.
They told us about the math teacher they had in junior high in called Cowboy Cubbage. It was in the 1950s, before they had ( Read more... ) -
Cell Phones and Fairly Legal
- I haven't been around much lately and am very behind on everything. The last month or so has been very trying to say the least.
- I was reading a contemporary romance recently, which is quite rare for me. It wasn't bad and had kind of a screwball comedy thing going for it. All through it when the characters got separated and didn't know where each ( Read more... ) -
TV, Oh, How You Torture Me...
- Anderson Cooper, I've always loved you, but I love you even more for calling out the people holding up the new season of Mad Men.
- History Channel, why have you become the Apocalypse Channel? Should the world not end 12-21-12 what will you play?
- HBO, why did you not make more Deadwood? I just got through watching Deadwood for the first time ( Read more... ) -
Looking for Sense and Sensibility Sequels or Rewrites
I'm desperate for a Sense and Sensibility sequel or rewrite where Elinor Dashwood ends up with Colonel Brandon. I can only find one fanfic and it was written for this year's Yuletide. I really want more. Surely there are others who like the idea of Elinor and Brandon as much as I do. I so yearn for a long retelling of S&S or sequel where Elinor and ( Read more... )
