If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence/paragraph/whatever from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favorite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).

Okay, so nothing I'm working on right now has a title. Ah well. And of course, I doubt that anyone is waiting with bated breath for my next story.

1. untitled shepperd/zelenka fic set post-show )


2. untitled due south fic where fraser and ray talk about sex. a lot. )


3. untitled sga fic where rodney and john have sex. but not with each other. )


4. next part of the picture in a frame series where ray and fraser get married. )


In other news, there is really no other news. I'm working. I still hate it. Things are very funky right now. I'm getting a raise in this week's paycheck which is nice, but it's a pitance of course. 4% isn't a bad raise except for the fact that my base pay is low so my raise is only about $0.50. But you know, more money is more money. I guess I just wish people would stop saying things about a senior tech position or added responsibilites and all of that. I can deal if I'm not being told what I could have if things maybe work out right and like Mars is in Venus's path and Jupiter eats Saturn. Because that's about how possible it is right about now.

I hit Sephora with Mom last Friday which is like mmm...fun times for me and her. I finally picked up Tarte's Cheek Stain because I've been in need of a new blusher and that's much better than powder. I also got a Stila lip glaze in Cranberry which I'm ambivalent about and will probably offer to [livejournal.com profile] fayemeadows and a Bourjois lip gloss in this beautiful raisin colour that I'm very much in love with. I adore me some Sephora.

We're going to Chris's parents house this weekend for a visit. It was his father's birthday last week so we're going to load up on food from the Kibitz Room and call it a gift. All kinds of stuff that I don't like aside from the lox, but his dad loves, so it's all good. Milo is going to have a fun weekend visiting because he loves Chris's parents. And he loves food. He hurt his leg or shoulder - we're not sure which - recently and is limping. However he's not acting like it hurts him and actually keeps bouncing and running and playing despite the fact his leg goes wonky every so often and he kind of lopes about on it. We're going to keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse.

I just watched Hackers and it made me think of Chris and Karen like it always does. Chris is getting married this fall which is like. whoa. And he's got a house and everything. It's so far away from the belligerent kid who wore his trench coat into a lake and called himself the River King and refused to do anything that could be perceived as responsible. Shows that a lot can happen in 7 years.

Also: Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things.
