5:21 pm	thoughts born of sleep deprivation *I am not necessarily proud of my baby's pooping, just relieved when it happens and she goes back to sleep *Glad as I am to have BBC America I would like a 24 hour Torchwood channel *A Cesarian section means never having to say "Yeah, I can lift that". *I swear I am buying a baby sling so that I have my hands free to do laundry, not finish several in-progress slash fics before I have to go back to work. *I am not resentful of my husband's focus on clearing the ice from our driveway because he would do a crappy job of mopping the kitchen anyway. *On a related note - steam floor cleaners, of the type for which I have seen several infomercials, seem like a really good idea.

6:24 pm	What I learned on my summer vacation . I've beein saying "conch" exactly like it's spelled my whole life, but apparently it's pronounced konk. However you say it, it's delicious - especially conch fritters which are basically fishy little hushpuppies. 2. If I survived riding in a car with the steering wheel on the right side (with husband driving) for a week while we drove on the left hand side of the road through roundabouts and down streets without clear markings I can do anything. 3. Husband survived kayaking with me through a mangrove swamp in a downpour - proving that he is the bestest sweetie ever. 4. If you eat calamari for breakfast your pee will smell like the rankest fish all day long. 5. Watching your husband trip over an iguana in a parking lot will make you giggle for days. 6. Rum punch without the rum just isn't the same, even if they put little umbrellas in the glass. 7. The TSA's restricition on 3 oz. of liquid per container blows! We had to check a carry-on because I bought a 5 oz. bottle of hot sauce in the airport and forgot to put it in our checked baggage. 8. For some reason Delta Airlines managed to get three out of four pieces of luggage to CR last night, but my purple duffle took a private ride to Dayton, OH. It should be here this afternoon, and our rum sampler had better be in tact. Oh yes, the 3 oz. restriction means all your fine liquor must be checked. Because if I spend $$$ in a foreign country on rum I'm gonna waste it chucking a Molotov cocktail at the flight attendant. 9. Caymanian money is brightly colored, but all have the same picture of Queen Elizabeth II. I think they should mix it up a bit and have her wearing a funny hat on the $5. 10. Did I mention conch was yummy? Seriously, Long John Silver's needs to serve this stuff up. Speaking of which, I feel a craving for fried things coming on that I can do next to nothing about. Damn you gestational diabetes! 11. Stingrays do not have teeth, but if they suck your finger in between their grinding plates it'll smart for awhile. On a related note, being head-butted by a creature with no bones is a surreal experience. 12. The pregnant woman's uterus acts as a sort of swim bladder, making any sort of life vest unnecessary. On the other hand, my back and thighs burn more easily because they are well above water whilst I am snorkeling. Current Mood: crazy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:18 pm	Would anyone like a kitten? Seriously - I have five in the basement. Not chained up or anything cuz where would I get shackles that small? Over the past month my house has become the freakin' wild kingdom. It's bad when you come home and go "hey the house smells like wet beagle and that's a step up from cat piss" Needless to say these are not my pets. I have a boarder. That sounds weird. Like I let a room to him and he has kitchen privileges but I'm planning to murder him for his social security check. That's silly. He's only 30. He's a good friend. I love him to death, and really he can stay as long as he needs to...but his pets must go. Note to self: when you're changing diapers in 10 months, remember how much more enjoyable the smell of poop mixed with baby powder is compared to the reek of a cat with boundary issues. Pregnancy fun fact: I declare today the last day I wear an underwire for the duration of the pregnancy. Cripes! I'm barely 3 months along and if this keeps up I'm gonna look like Pamela Anderson...without the pretty face...or the fame...or the hepatitis. Hey- there is a bright side Current Mood: confused (4 Comments |Comment on this)

4:41 pm	Curse you, woman! Son of a beaver! I love my mother to pieces, but she has really done it this time. She signs me up for offers on Baby-to-be dot com and uses my personal e-mail account - the one I only use to e-mail friends and family...okay and get LJ stuff, but still. The next thing I know I have 107 messages in my Inbox and it's all SPAM! And I can get the online server to filter it, but if i download to my computer using Outlook Express it'll still be there. Dang dang, double dang, triple dang, shoot. I'm sending goons over to break her forwarding finger. Note to self: If I'm now signed up for Baby-to-be, I can probably cancel that mycycle.com thingy. So I had the day off and spent the majority of it reading and writing fanfic instead of writing in my pregnancy diary. I'm telling myself I need to get the multi-chapter Turlough slave-fic done before the tadpole arrives. Who am I kidding? Motherhood will no more banish my perverted tendencies than marriage did. Mommy's going to hide a flash drive full of smut away with her Preacher comics when the kids start to learn to read. (7 Comments |Comment on this)

1:57 pm	New Flavors Sunkist makes Cherry Limeade! Everyone buy a bottle of sugary goodness now so it stays around for the one time a month when I really really want one. So I'm supposed to go to a concert tonight - weather permitting. Which really should be our new state motto. Welcome to Iowa - Weather permitting. Will there be school today? weather permitting Will I have power today? weather permitting Will my husband make it home tonight now that they've closed the interstate? weather permitting Will a tree fall on my house That's what you get for moving into a development that used to be a tree nursery. Hey, usually the voices in my head don't talk back. I may be hitting the Cherry Limeade a little hard. So anyway I get to stand in the semi-freezing rain with an eclectic bunch for the Nickelback concert tonight. I say eclectic because there will be kids, parents of said kids, stoners, rockers, and then there's just me. I could actually care less about Nickelback. I'm probably not even spelling the name of the band right and I'm too lazy to go look on my husband's CDs to confirm that. However, 3 Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin are opening and I would like to see them. We went to see Disturbed before Xmas- which was AWESOME. How does that phrase go - if it's too loud, you're too old. It isn't too loud (because I wear earplugs), but it's really smoky and goes kinda late. Oh look, I found a gray hair.

10:38 pm	You're a girl right? Someone actually asked me that once. It was a boy I really really liked, and he wanted me to proofread his love letter to a cheerleader. He's probably a successful independent filmmaker just about to make it big now. I want to write him and say- but I thought you were funny when you had dandruff in your eyebrows. My husband may not approve. I don't have a problem being one of the guys so to speak. Strictly defined gender roles have never been an issue for me. And yet, from time to time more than one of my male friends has 'forgotten' that I do in fact like the same sci-fi/thriller/horror flicks they do. Typically this happens when they find themselves a mate who does not always (or in some cases never) enjoy that genre of film. So I get stuck repeating my near fanatical avoidance of romantic comedies. Trips to the video place for movies rented for two or more couples inevitably lead to disappointment on my part. I cannot describe in mere words how much I never want to see 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' or 'Failure to Launch'. Couldn't we watch something about a serial killer instead. It would literally be less painful for me. I'm happy for my guy friends - and I have become very good friends with their wives/girlfriends, but I will not necessarily ever be able to go to the movies with them. I'm so grateful for my geek female friends. You know who you are, ladies. Thanks. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:44 pm	The joy of posting my random thoughts I have started upwards of 10 journals/diaries in my life. Each time I swear I'll keep up with it, not necessarily as an exact chronicle of the events of my life, but as a place to keep my thoughts and feelings. I have plenty of thoughts and feelings - some I don't even mind sharing - but the thing is...I'm kinda lazy. And beyond that I start to think about - what if my descendents find this after I'm dead and are like 'great grandma was a fruitbat who thought about sex way too much' Of course, I'll be dead so I won't care. So of I'm going to leave something for posterity, it won't be a journal full of my witty observations. At best people will find half filled notebooks full of Who porn interdispersed with proclamataions such as: Welsh Corgis are the cutest dogs in creation. I would have a herd of them if I could. Why am I that 0.1% of the population who will suffer constipation as a side effect of a nasal spray? I am 33 years old and I cannot walk up the basement stairs without glancing behind me at least once to make sure I'm not being stalked by the morlocks the surely live in the corner by the sump pump. I miss the Mr. Bulky candy store because it was the one place I could reliably find gummy grapefruit slices. See- not exactly Anais Nin, is it?

9:38 pm	Shaken Muse Syndrome If I had a muse I'd shake her like a bitch. Okay, it's not entirely her fault. I was so excited for dw_slash's FUF and I had three reasonably decent fic ideas to pursue. Only one has borne fruit that, in my opinion, isn't fit to lay rotting at the bottom of my refrigerator. You know - is that a pear or an ancient mango? When the theme for FUF07 was proposed (doubles, dopplegangers, alternate universe duplicates, etc.) I was excited for the challenge. Sadly I was unaware at the time that my own February was about to be royally F'd up. I'll spare anyone taking the time to read this the gory details, save that I am composing a theme song for my new pill regimen that I call 'Circus of Medication'. So, seeing as how I am trapped in a tornado of angst it stands to reason that my attempts at creative writing will be in a similar vein. But I don't want them to be! I wanted fun - Porny fun! What I have is either Porn, which doesn't do any of the characters justice, but does allow me to imagine them naked. Or angst, in which some of the characters may or may not be naked, but they are in emotional turmoil...and kind of out of character. I don't know if I should try to salvage one or more of the fics or scrap all three and just write the crackfic I had in mind in the first place - cuz after all, I am frackin' crazy. Not shave my own head and get a tattoo crazy, mind you. That's just nuts. Current Mood: cranky Current Music: No more Love - God Lives Underwater (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:46 pm	Fic - Unbound - Epilogue Title:Unbound Categories(?):Smutty goodness, a touch of romance, humor, angst, BDSM Rating: This little bit is PG-13 at best. Author's Note: A completely un beta-d bit of fluff set after the Big Finish Audio adventureLoups-Garoux ( Epilogue ) (2 Comments |Comment on this)
8:38 pm	Fic -Unbound, Chapter 9 Title:Unbound Categories(?):Smutty goodness, a touch of romance, humor, angst, BDSM Rating: NC-17 Author's Note: This is the final chapter, but I feel an epilogue coming on. I set it in the mythical gap after Frontios Thanks to everyone who read and double thanks to everyone who took time to review. This started out as a little fantasy, and I had a lot of fun filling it out into something other people might like as well. Renewed thanks to my beta-reader nnwest for sticking with me through the end. If you notice any punctuation or grammatical errors, it's because I did some last-minute revising after she corrected me. Also, since this is the most dialogue I've ever written for Tegan (and I'd like to do more in the future) I appreciate constructive criticism on that. I know I made her a littler softer than she sometimes seems on the show, but I figured she can't be angry all the time. ( Chapter 9 ) (6 Comments |Comment on this)

7:47 pm	Unbound - Chapters Six Title:Unbound Categories(?):Smutty goodness, a touch of romance, humor, angst, BDSM Rating: We're in NC-17 territory, kids, and there ain't no turnin' back Author's Note: I had a hard time deciding whether to keep these two sections together or split them up. It turns out I can do both. They cover the progression of the relationship. Together, it seemed too long, and, I wanted to switch from Turlough's POV to the Doctor's at a particular point. So I hope you can forgive a bit of editorial indecision on my part. Oh, one more thing. It may not be exactly proper, but I've capitalized "Sir" whenever Turlough uses it to address the Doctor. It's an indication of his deference to the Doctor, and it just seems right to me. ( Chapter 6A ) ( Chapter 6B ) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:40 pm	Technology passing me by So I've got a long fic I want to share. Like 9-10 chapters of DW smut. And it's way too long to stick behind a cut in the Gingerminx community. So I'm going to try to put it here and hyperlink. Only I'm nervous about it. I hyperlink all the time in Word or Outlook at work. Once upon a time, I even had a web page. On a UNIX server no less. Now I'm afraid that if I somehow screw up a hyperlink to my Turlough porn that means I've failed as a nerd girl. I try to give myself a little credit as I'm completely self taught when it comes to tech stuff like this. And my husband is no help. I married the goofy jokin' comic collectin', sci-fi lovin' geek of my dreams. But he's not a computer geek. He's a software tester, not a programmer. I know more HTML than him, and I know just enough to bold and italicize things. Of course, even if he did know HTML he probably wouldn't help me until I promise to write a ninth Doctor fic - with no porn! I think that's just asking too much. If I go through the trouble of getting Nine's speech patterns down then damnit, he's going to be saying something dirty. But, I'm being brave, and actually posting to my LJ. Baby steps.
