Okay, best reason to be an author I've come across yet.
(Somehow I don't think it'd work quite so well for me. Dammit.)
XD
I'm gonna have a shower in a few minutes - when I'm done with the SG:A fic, y'know - and then I'm going on a hunt for a monitor and Temeraire, and stopping in at the art gallery for cards and culture. Is gonna be nice to be able to change the brightness of my monitor - I might be able to actually see what the SG:A crew are doing in all the dark, rather than having dialogue and intriguing flashes of motion. And then I'm going to come home, maybe tidy my room a little, and write more.
I love unexpected days off. :D
ETA: You know when you get those really really really big insect bites that make you go O.O and wonder about whether it's laid eggs underneath your skin and someday soon your arm will split open and a parade of small black insect things will crawl out...? Yeah.
*itches*
ETA 2: yes, you are much prettier and more fun than a penis, dude.
*starry eyed* That's the most romantic thing anyone's ever said to me.

Date: 2006-10-12 10:41 am (UTC)Ahahaha the Harlequin challenge. XD I read some of those- I particularly remember the math camp one because it was AU, but not at the same time!
Also this brings back shameful memories of when I actually used to read Harlequin books. In my defence, I was 8.
... I'm not sure how much in my defence that is, though. *cough*

Date: 2006-10-12 04:26 pm (UTC)I totally have the bugs-living-in-you fear. I blame the X-Files and those books that detailed really disgusting and probably untrue stories. Also, snopes.com's bug section. Ew.
And as for edit 2, hee, and also, I clearly haven't been trying hard enough, then. :)
