out_thereAm up-to-date on the FList. (Not so up to date on the workflow, though. *g*) I have a huge headache. Seriously, there are little gnomes pounding nails into my temples as we speak.
Anyway, guess what happened while I was away? The building my office is in got a bomb threat. Twice! They even ended up having a four hour lunch yesterday.
I mean, yeah, it isn't like I missed out on anything major, but... If I was working with another SN fan, I would have spent the afternoon cracking up with SN quotage. (Although, apparently, there were no dogs used in the search. *boggles* Of course, I'm a little more surprised by what anyone would have against the Housing Association. I'm guessing when builders get mad, bombs will follow.)
Sometimes, I love drabbles. Like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
laylee's little insight into a happy, slightly zany, pregnant Dana. *happy sigh*
Anyway, had discussions with Mum last night and we're probably moving down to Geelong. On the one side, there's more time spent commuting, and I can't stuff around after work checking LJ. On the other side, I've got more time on the train to sit down and write fic.
Due to the aforementioned headache, I haven't written Celli another bit of the accounting fic, even though I promised I would. (Dude, there are fics I promised to people *last* year that I still haven't finished. I'm... whimsical like that. *g*)

Date: 2004-06-08 10:50 pm (UTC)But, yes, can't write fic. I mean, I really *dislike* pain, and it makes writing hard. Proof of this, I have 700 words of a fic that's really not going anywhere. And its just going slowly. See? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/out_there/478061.html?#cutid1)
I've come to the conclusion that I need a back-up writer. Someone I can pass the fic to when I run out of steam/enthusaism/ideas... I also need the mental journal from Dune, and I think both are as likely as each other.

Can I? Can I just tap you on the shoulder and say "tag! Your turn to write the Danny/Charlie fic of questionable taste"?
Because, if so...
Tag!

Date: 2004-06-08 11:12 pm (UTC)Oh look gotta go to bed now kthxbai!
*giggles* I do actually have to go to bed but if you want I'll write some in the next couple of days. Unless you get struck with a bolt of
lightninginspiration before then. *g*no subject
Date: 2004-06-08 11:19 pm (UTC)*laughs* Even more amusing that I keep reading that as kixabai, and wondering if it was some odd anime/RPG character name.
I only just realised that it's actually, "okay, thanks, bye."
I do actually have to go to bed but if you want I'll write some in the next couple of days.
Oooh! *bounces* Yes, yes! I will totally take you up on that offer.
Unless you get struck with a bolt of
lightninginspiration before then. *g*Dude, don't even joke about that. The sky today has been seriously *dark* all day. When I left the house at 7.30am, it really felt like about 6am, it was that dark.
Apparently, there's thunder storms on the way. So, no jokes about lightning. (Besides, I don't think God keeps grudges about under-aged slash. If he's going to start picking off ficcers, he should start with the badfic writers. LOTR and popslash have plenty of those.)

Date: 2004-06-08 11:23 pm (UTC)Keep an eye on the skies, there, and remind me about this tomorrow or the next day. (BT's here tomorrow! No, today! *bounces around room*)
*hugs* Night!

*shoos you*
Bed. Right now, Miss.
*hugs* Night!
*hugs* Sleep well!

Date: 2004-06-09 01:08 am (UTC)You're doing better than me with the friends list: my parents are visiting, so not much online time for Signe this week, even though I've got three days off work.
Maybe they couldn't use the dogs because they all had colds? *g*
no subject
Date: 2004-06-09 01:12 am (UTC)Still, everyone around here's just 'same old, same old.' I'm trying to imagine Casey and Dan if they'd had two bomb threats in a week... *giggles*
You're doing better than me with the friends list: my parents are visiting, so not much online time for Signe this week, even though I've got three days off work.
Ah, *fun*. Well, yeah. you want to have a real life and interact with people, it's just a pity you can't have extra hours in the day so you can still fit the online stuff as well. *g*
no subject
Date: 2004-06-09 01:18 am (UTC)I don't think even reminding them of all their female viewers would get them anywhere near the building! Not sure I'd be too thrilled either.
Ah, *fun*.
Hmmm. You could call it that....
The only way I get so much online time is by cutting down on sleep. Which I can do for a good long while, but everynow and again I need to get a normal amount of sleep for a while, so this is my sleeping week! So I should be all sparkly and lively and refreshed by next week! *sniggers*

Date: 2004-06-09 01:40 am (UTC)I said I'd have a little something for you if you kept your promise of staying offline and studying. *g* I thought you'd like these caps, though I'm afraid I've not managed a good job with the text: I'm not good with large text.

I *love* "This is happening way too often." LOVE!!!
LOVE!!!!!
Okay, I'm backing away from the exclamation marks right now, but, dude, *love*. It's just so perfectly resigned, and Casey being just that touch of adorable, and okay, maybe I don't *need* it because of my Peppy Casey icon, but I adore it and am stealing it anyway.
(Love!)

Date: 2004-06-09 11:39 pm (UTC)The second I saw him sitting there like that, I had to cap it, and knew you'd love an icon of that moment. Not that I'm hoping you'll have days that will call for that icon, but just in case....
Plus I was proud that I got a show quote, and the one for that scene too, on the icon!
no subject
Date: 2004-06-09 11:44 pm (UTC)It's just... perfectly Casey, perfect for those resigned, deep-sigh type of days, and yes! I have much love for it.
*huggles icon*
*hugs you for making it*

Date: 2004-06-09 05:53 pm (UTC)I really like the cropping/colors/effects of the image, but the text seems odd to me. I'm not a big fan of blank/untexted icons, though.
I want to spend a little while thinking about this. Would it be cool if I got back to you later about it? I'm thinking a one or two (or maybe three) word phrase would work better, but I'm not sure what it should be.
But, still, long-suffering Casey!
*hugs new icon*
no subject
Date: 2004-06-09 11:44 pm (UTC)But if you ever think of text that would make it work, just give me a shout.
no subject
Date: 2004-06-09 11:51 pm (UTC)I was thinking maybe "on display" or "always watched" (or "still watching"), maybe in big pretty, swirly writing (like my "Everyone" in this icon, maybe...?)
*stares at icons*
Hmmm...
Or maybe even "waiting"...
ETA: However, your "nice view" suggestion would be great! Just cheeky enough to be perfect for the boys.

Date: 2004-06-10 12:33 am (UTC)I like the *colors*, so it'll have to be the first. Plus, there's the swirly N, wihch just looks neat. *g*
(Oh, and as an extra yay, it'll be an "N" icon. I'm slowly building a collection of icons that spreads itself across the alphabet! *g*)

Date: 2004-06-09 11:49 pm (UTC)How about 'nice view!'?

Date: 2004-06-09 09:00 am (UTC)One of my favourite Danny-lines: "What are you, a vet?" At least, it's not the line so much, it's the delivery. (I have many favourite Danny, er, bits. Too many to list. Aren't you glad of that?)

Date: 2004-06-09 05:54 pm (UTC)How long do I tenchnically get, or how long do I spend sitting at my desk, using my computer for purely fannish purposes? *g*
One of my favourite Danny-lines: "What are you, a vet?"
Hee! What in the world is that in reply to?

Date: 2004-06-09 11:42 pm (UTC)Hee! What in the world is that in reply to?
Isn't that after the bomb scare, when they ask if the dogs ever have colds, and Dana says no?
*showing off new SN knowledge*
no subject
Date: 2004-06-09 11:44 pm (UTC)Yes, it is! As soon as you said that I suddenly heard Dan saying that line inside my head. Good spot, Signe.
(And, in my defense, it's been months since I've watched any SN, so you should pity me instead of mocking me.)

Plus I've yet to start season 2. I'm currently catching up on Angel season 5, West Wing season 4, the OC, and SN!!!
