Happy Halloween!

[lettered]

Long time no talky! Look at all your bright and shiny faces! I was out of town for a week and a half, and before that and after I've just been out of it. For those of you I haven't told yet, I'm moving to Seattle, in with my_daroga. I'm doing that quite soon, and I have a bunch of RL shit to get together, and graduate applications to organize, and a trip to plan and pack for which I haven't even started doing yet. That is to say I probably STILL won't be around LJ much, but not to worry. I shall return with a vengeance, once things get all settled--probably in February or so. I'm not forsaking fandom and everything forever until then; I'm just letting you know.

Okay, that's RL. Now here's stuff to do and stuff I want to do re: My Sekrit Online Life, in case you're wondering.
H) I'm still leaving LJ by the end of this year. I will take up residence at IJ and set up a feed for all you on LJ, and I will still check your journals here. I just won't have any journals here.
A) I'm still updating Another One Like It Tomorrow, and hope to have the posting finished by the end of this year. Sorry for the long delay on that guys, but I have most of it written and just need to keep on posting.
L) Some of you have asked about Best Souvenir. I do plan to finish that fic, and I thought I'd get to more of it this Sept or October. But that obviously didn't happen, and due to everything that's going on for me right now, more probably won't be posted until sometime next year.
L)ii. I owe germaine_pet and anelith things for fire_fic--I haven't forgotten, and I've been working on both. I'm just a little stuck and a little harried right now, so please forgive the delay. (eta: Lynne's is another chapter of "Man's Best Friend", another fic which I guarantee will be continued. I know what happens; there's just a bit too much stress going on right now for me to make it happen...like I want to!)
O) I'm still working on my meta for seraphcelene's metathon. I should've just done a DVD commentary, but I wanted to say something I've been wanting to say about my writing for a while, but never knew how to say. But it's just not working out well and I keep changing what I'm writing about every time I think about it. But it's just delayed, not permanently rescinded (is that the word I want?) I'll get it done.
W) Speaking of stuff that's due, I owe moscow_watcher a beta, and a2zmom three of them. They're coming!
E) I have an IWRY Marathon piece due at the end of November. I haven't started it yet but I know what it's about and I'm very happy with that.
E)ii. Did I mention I signed up for hd_holidays? Yes, I'm very stupid. This piece is KILLING me. Speaking of which, anyone up for a very super speed beta the day to two before I have to turn it in?
N) Oh, speaking of fire_fic, which we no longer are, I owe donations.
!) I have pics that need posting. K! I have a very cool picture of you. The rest turned out to mostly be of the back of your head. How did that happen? I was just trying to be candid. At least your hair looks all cool.

But enough about me!

Seattle! That's a mini-San Fransico, don't you know. Without all the hills.

-three words that describe your life lately
work completely sucks

-a fic you read recently you loved!
the B/A pegging fic by Chris which you also read

-a fic you wrote recently I missed (which is almost all of them)
many OoS drabbles, but this is the bestest of the lot: Living Spaces

-your life story
I was born in a log cabin on a windswept prairie.By the age of six, I could already wield a shotgun and one day had taken down a rampaging bear. (more to come)

-a summary of what you did/are doing today
I worked and did not do anything I planned to do at work. I wrote another 200 words for my IWRY story. I ate Kofta for lunch. I watched Pushing Daisies. I took a nap because work gave me a headache. I read LJ. And I wrote in your journal.

-a description of your costume (or. You DREAM costume, which you did not have the time or money to make)
My dream costume is lose 20 pounds and become a flapper. Maybe permanently.

-a recipe for a drink, any kind (wassel!)
I already gave you the recipe for a chocolate eggcream. Everything else is superflous.

-something weird about you most people don't know
I cannot stand having even a smidgen of wax in my ears.

-something you posted recently I should read
There was a huge anti-Semitism thing and I posted a response. I'm not sure you want to read it though.

-the lyrics of a song you recently fell in love with
Magic By Bruce Springsteen, title song from his new album:
I got a coin in your palm
I can make it disappear
I got a card up my sleeve
Name it and I´ll pull it out your ear
I got a rabbit in the hat
If you wanna come and see
This is what will be
This is what will be

I got shackles on my wrists
Soon I´ll slip and I´ll be gone
Chain me in a box in the river
And rising in the sun
Trust none of what you hear
And less of what you see
This is what will be (This is what will be)
This is what will be

[Instrumental]

(I´ll cut you in half)

I got a shiny saw blade (a shiny saw blade)
All I need´s a volunteer
I´ll cut you in half
While you´re smilin´ ear to ear
And the freedom that you sought
Driftin´ like a ghost amongst the trees
This is what will be
This is what will be (This is what will be)

Now there´s a fire down below
But it´s coming up here
So leave everything you know
Carry only what you fear
On the road the sun is sinkin´ low
Bodies hanging in the trees
This is what will be (This is what will be)
This is what will be

-an idea for a fic you really want to write but feel you probably won't get around to
I actually want someone else to write it, lol. I have a great idea for a sequel to my IWRY fic, but sinec I don't want to give that away I'm saying nothing here.

-your opinion on Heroes, House, Journey Man, or Bones
Heroe is floundering. House I gave up on. Journey Man never tried. Bones is so adorable, ames me laugh and Boreanaz just gets hotter every week. Best new show by a mile is Pushing Daisies.

-shower or a bath?
Shower!

-Pluto or Jupiter?
Neither. I'd get car sick. or something.

-your opinion on the last Buffy comic
I loved it. And I should post about it.

-how Willow carves her pumpkin
with a ruler. and compass.

-icecream?
chocolate. with some more chocolate. and chocolate sprinkles.

There were hills in Seattle! Ok, more hills than I'm used to anyway since I live in frakkin' Houston. There was a volcano looming in the distance!

Dude, I'm sorry about work. It's been crappy for a good long while now it seems like, and you really deserve a break. Hope your headache is gone by now.

Ooh! I saw you posted many drabbles, but I am saving much of this fic for when I have time to read it. So I'm marking this post so I can come back to it all--thanks for the link!

I can picture with braids and a leather vest with fringe going around hunting bears. Trying to decide whether I like that image or the one of you as a permanent flapper better. HEE.

Um...I don't know where I put that chocolate eggcream recipe. Meep? Can you email it again some time?

I saw your post re: anti-Semitism, and I commented on it. You're right that that horrible comment you linked isn't something I want to read, but posts like yours always are. Since that hatred does exist we need to face it and talk about it and fight it, and you did and did so eloquently.

Oh, awesome song lyrics! Thanks!

I want to give up on House because it's annoying me So Much. But--but--but! I keep hoping! Don't recommend Journey Man. Bones is like candy. I'm never sure what to think about Heroes. I keep wanting it to be something really special but it never seems to go anywhere (even when it does).

I loved the last Buffy comic too! I missed the fifth one though, and now can't find it anywhere. Bummer.

with a ruler. and compass.

Oh, dude. You're totally right.
