It's done
Friday, 05 May 2006 02:12:34

well, my proformance was last night. My River monolouge went very well, and I squeed when I saw Joss Whedon's name in the program as the writer of my peice. Hopefully that threw Firefly awareness out there in a different audence, despite how mangled the monolouge itself was. meantime, Chapter 3 WAS being very nice about being written...until I lost it. I also have some blockage on Bring me to life so...don't expect to much from me in the future. Also, I have a paper route now and often stuff to do after, so I may not even be here much. Of course, when I tried to ask my dad if I could get on the computer, spifically for the purpouse of coming here...I almost asked if I could go home. I really do love it here.

Thanks for Memories

I am getting tremendous support with this episode, and I greatly appreciate it. I love when people love the thing that I love (which is writing). I enjoy writing it as much as you enjoy reading it, and I'm working on twelve more 5-chapter episodes for y'all. Thanks, and enjoy!

What a freakin' week! My wife went to the emergency room on Tuesday, and is still in the hospital with a kidney infection that has also gotten into her blood, and now my kids have a stomach flu they picked up from the folks that watched them while I was in the ER with my wife! :vomit: Heavy Sigh... The whole kidney infection thing was really nasty. My wife had a temp of 104.8 when the paramedics showed up, and her blood pressure was as low as 78/38 after 12 hours of fluids, etc. Scared the crap out of me! :crap: Serenity Now! Yeah, I know that has a whole different meaning on this site, but still! I'm constantly reminded that life is what happens to you while you're making other plans.

Nothing interesting really

Another night(uhm..morning?) and another blog. Played some Wh40k today, got kicked, not that into it anymore anyway. Played some SW:Empire at War aswell, fun game. Should have done lots of stuff today, but my laziness got the better of me. Just want to say; Damn it feels good that its spring again! Well, Ill try to come up with something better tomorrow, a bit tired now anyhow

Feels good....yeah....ya know it feels good!

Hello all! Today has been a good day. So good I'm gonna rave about it. Spent some time packing, getting ready to move back into the country.....fresh air, trees galore. My new house has a little family cemetary on the left side of the yard, and I think it's pretty cool! Yeah, I'm a little gruesome. It also has horses fenced in behind it. So I'll be adopting some horses to sneak treats to. Don't have a job right now to worry about, gonna get a part time when I move out to the boonies. So I just sat back and wrote a crapload of limericks (check out the Limericks post, everyone is very talented). Then, since I was all inspired and everything, I brainstormed a plot line for an erotic novel based on vampires. Should be really interesting, being as I am pretty open minded about sex and all. I'm really excited, my muse hasn't visited in quite a while. Also, my bearded dragon seems to be doing much better. My vet said metabolic bone disease, but x-rays show a fine looking skeleton. We have to wait on a blood panel but we're hopeful. Three more weeks of liquid calcium are in order, but after that, meds should be over. She told me he was obese though. Here I am, worrying that he's to skinny, he doesn't eat every day, is he sick..., and he's a tub of lard lol! Fat patties under his jaw, she says! So, if anyone has a beardie, post me some tips that you've found for a healthy, happy dragon. Or let me know how good your day was! Or how your novel is going...ect.

Essay time...yippee....
Friday, 05 May 2006 11:59:45

Well, I'm in my 1st period global history class that I have the most ginormous (yes, that is a word....) project due in 2 weeks and we have now just been assigned an essay on the war w/ Iraq that's due Wednesday! Grr..arrgh...! Here's the exact prompt: [i] Essay Title/Theme: "To War and Back"--a tribute to our troops that have fought and are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq [/i] Okay, so I'm an American and I'm one of the people who doesn't neccessarily agree with the war. (Let the flames begin....Not really, please. I don't want to start a war with the browncoats...:crap:) So, long story short....I have absolutely NO idea what to write. I'm sitting in the computer lab with my bff (who, sadly, is not a Browncoat. :disappointed:) and we are surfing the web rather than actually working on the assignment. It's quite amusing, actually. But, y'know, with the whole might-be-caught-at-any-moment thing is a bit of a damper. Ah, well... :smile: Oh, and thank you so much to copilot and BlueEyedBrigadier for your thoughts. :smile: Well, off to eat food in my French class. Cheers, ~ForeverShiny

Gonna be gone for a bit
Friday, 05 May 2006 14:12:04

Just a quick note to let my readers know I'm gonna be gone for a bit. Look for an update to "Family" mid-month. Have a great weekend and week, everyone! "I love my captain."

Hugs All 'Round :)

'Cause sometimes you just need a little Kaylee...

That's a little bit depressing.

Ok, so... I have a lab partner for my chemistry labs and we've had 15hours of labs this semester. She's attended 4 hours of those compulsory labs. When it comes to writing the lab reports you are allowed to write a joint report with your partner so not wanting her to fail I agreed to write joint reports. The first report I did all by myself. The entire fricking 9hour lab write up plus the pre-lab research questions. Handed it in on time and got 78%. That's a fricking 1st people. Obviously my lab partner got the same grade. The second lab report I wrote up entirely again. With one exception. I was called home unexpectedly because of family illness so I emailed the entire report to my lab partner minus the pre-lab since i didn't have any research books with me. I spoke to her and explained the situation and she said she'd do the pre-lab, put it in the gaps I'd labelled for her and then print out the report and hand it in... Excellent! So, yeah I'd done 90% of the marks (pre-lab only worth 10%) but it was a weight off my mind knowing she'd hand it in. One month later... Today I got called into the lecturers office to discuss the lab report. Apparently my lab partner plaguerised the pre-lab from someone else... word for word... even copied and pasted their diagram.:stupid: Since it's a joint report we're both responsible. My mark for this report just went from 75% (first) to 40% capped (third class). I lost 35% because she couldn't be arsed to answer two questions (one page of our 12 page lab report). :banghead: So thanks... thanks a lot. :finger:

Beta Reader Request
Friday, 05 May 2006 16:36:03

Okay... so, it's finally been made clear to me that I should get a beta reader. So far, I've had negative experiences with beta-readers, which is partly my fault. Basically, with the beta reader's I've had (really, I think only two; I had one when I started over the hills and one a long, long time ago when I wrote more embarassing fanfic during high school), things go pretty much like this: Me: my spelling sucks, sorry. Feel free to make any comment your heart desires, because honesty is good. Beta: Sure ...days later... Me: ... you are going to say something, right? Or at least correct the spelling...? So, what is boils down to is that I'm fairly impatient. Sorry, world, it is a flaw of mine. I mean, I understand it takes time to edit. I occassionally edit papers for people who live on my floor and it can take hours, and I understand thar people tend to have these things called lives where they need to interact with people who are really there and not spent an unhealthy amount of time at the computer like I do (which is good, yay!), but after a day and a half or so I get antsy. I just do. Other than that, though, I think I'm fairly easy to work with, and I've be willing to return the favor for anyone who needs it. Actually, just if anyone needs a beta in general, you can PM me. So, if anyone is willing to dare, my emaile is greyfable@gmail.com. Peace. Katie

Al Gore is Cool
Friday, 05 May 2006 17:13:22

I know this sounds like the weirdest and most incendiary title for a blog, but for some reason I've been coming around to the realization that Al Gore is cool. Maybe it was the way SOUTH PARK made fun of him in last weeks ep where he's obsessed with finding Manbearpig ("I'm totally serial") and everyone keeps saying "I kinda feel sorry for him. I don't think he has any friends." But this was trumped by him guesting twice on FUTURAMA as himself. He made a really great guest star. And I took a look at the trailer for that documentary of his about global warming, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, and I can see it being like the next blockbuster doc. I dunno. I really respect people who have a sense of humor about themselves and who consider it an honor if SOUTH PARK making fun of them and not an insult (which is why I think George Clooney is better than Tom Cruise). I don't know what makes me, but Al Gore seems cool to me.

Firefly's alive and kickin'
Friday, 05 May 2006 18:04:57

Firefly may not be on the air right now, like a new season but, as we know, it is far from dead. On the contrary its still alive and kickin'. I just discovered, maybe i'm behind here, but there is the Official companion to the show coming out in September! It is now on my wish list along with the next novelization that is due this fall also. I found out the only Serenity Firefly thing I don't have in paper form or on CD is the Role playing game book that is out there. Hey any of you Browncoats live in Vermont? You know, that mostly cold, not much sun, kind of green mountainy state in New England? I am still determined one day to get to a convention and meet some of you in person and maybe one day meet the BDH themselves! Shiny!

Firefly Fanfic Series
Friday, 05 May 2006 19:02:26

My angst sounding board is away for the next few days and I want her to read the next chapter of 'Shattered' before I post it. So it will be a few days before the next chapter gets put up. I'm busying myself in the meantime writing fluff so at least the readers will have something to look forward to when that is finally posted.

Decisions, Decisions
Friday, 05 May 2006 22:40:07

Has anyone ever made an decision (either right or wrong) believeing that they would be supported by their superiors. Only to be stabbed in the back by those same superiors then told by those same superiors that your judgement is lacking. Also why is it that the suck-ups (even one that has been involved in something that society frowns on) get away with things? I just shake my head and walk away. Oh, our paper work for our child is coming along.Also I am working on a book based on "Firefly".

2X2
Vacation
Friday, 05 May 2006 23:29:59

So, I'm heading into a week long vacation, which has its pluses, and its minuses... On the plus side, it's a week long vacation!! yay! On the not so plus side, it means I likely won't get as much writing done as normal, which will push Choices back :o( I appreciate all the patience you guys (used in a totally non-gender specific way) have given me... and I'll do my best to work on it, but, the second minus to being off for a week - I do my best writing at work (work avoidance is marvellous for inspiration!) So, if things are quiet from me for the next week, you'll know why, and I apologize in advance. 2x2 out!
