If I was a scientist, I might never be able to read science-fiction
Is it just my degree that makes me sensitive to plot devices like a prenuptial that neither party can get rid of even though both want to rip it up or a contract that one of the signatories isn't permitted to have a copy of or people thinking you can just throw away business deals because you don't like a person? I'd love to think that I would ( Read more... ) -
Prenups: In which you learn that I am a lawyer and an accountant and not a "romantic"
You know what I want. A romance where a prenup isn't an evil thing used to call someone a gold digger and that isn't torn up to prove the greatness of their love.

Spirit Animals in Supernatural
In the beginning of Supernatural's second season, I posted a meta in sn_theories about what spirit animals would best represent Sam and Dean. I never posted it to my own journal and had all but forgotten it, but I received a very flattering email from silverruffian about how that discussion inspired her. It was especially meaningful because I've always enjoyed her work ( Read more... ) -

Very strange dreams
I dreamed that a huge group of killer whales was swimming alongside our boat and we could see them really well, even though they were underwater and we had been above water before they showed up. I put my hand on the window and one of the whales rammed into it and dented the window. My mom put her hand on the window and this time the dent turned ( Read more... ) -
