So, Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates and Happy Holidays to everyone else who celebrates something different ( Read more... )

So I just read Siriaeve's new story, These Three Things Remain and one line from it in particular really struck me. Steve is talking about hoping that Peggy will still be alive in 2011, and he says: she'd be in her nineties nowAll of a sudden it clicked in my head that my own grandparents are that age. My grandfather is 92 and my grandmother is 89 ( Read more... )

Uh, so I just signd up for Yuletide? (?????!!!) I have never done this before, but I've been having such a slump in my writing lately that I wanted to change things up. I've always loved writing from prompts and assignments so hopefully this will work.

( IF, on the other hand, you are here because you (poor unfortunate soul) have received my requests, I am here to give you a little help through some extra suggestions, divided by fandom I requested. )

In case anyone were interested in my personal life (haha, I know, I know), but seriously just in case, I have started a tumblr? It was initially just because I needed some way to keep track of all the fannish and RL tumblrs that I enjoyed but quickly became something else. This has been something that was percolating in my mind for a while and it ( Read more... )

So I am trying to get back into Lj-ing, and part of my instructions for myself is to do this meme:

• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.

So, wow, 2010 happened. I wasn't going to post any reflections on my year until I stopped and realized how truly monumental it had been. I sort of feel so separate from the things that occurred at the beginning of the year that I forgot that they were in 2010 as well. I don't really know how I feel about the year as a whole, yet. It was really ( Read more... )

Here are two short fics I wrote in the past couple of months, collected here for posterity:

As Husband and Husband We Go, written for foxxcub's Kissing Meme. Arthur and Eames must pretend to be married in order to pull off a job in the Bahamas.

Needs Must, written for airgiodslv's BAMF Meme. Eames takes care of business when a job goes south and both Arthur and ( Read more... )

I just had to read and listen to Kiss Me Kate for the first time since I was wee. And then I was disturbed that I was ever exposed to it as a child. But I just have to know: am I not giving the show enough credit for being subversive or is it really that offensive? Now, it was largely written by a woman based off of a real-life theatre couple who ( Read more... )

It has been too long since I last posted, my friends. Too long. This is why I should be independently wealthy: so that I don't have to bother with this whole higher education nonsense and can sit around all day writing and squeeing over lovely, lovely boys. But such is life ( Read more... )
