    Ask a Question Meme
    I wanna do this meme, if anyone wants to ask me stuff. Plus, everyone else is doing it and I'm feeling like clinging to my flist. *clings*

    Let's start the new year off right; The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

    More than one question is allowed. I'll answer happily :)

    Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

    Backing Up
    Damn. The LJ news is quite concerning. I'm going to be backing up to InsaneJournal today - I'm zelda_zee over there too. And I'm gonna back up [info]lostsquee too - it will have the same name as well.

    ETA: I don't actually know how to back up a comm - at least not yet.

    Huh???
    It's snowing like a mofo again! WTF?? Like, there's three inches that have collected in the past couple of hours. *scratches head* Mr. Z and I have started making End Times jokes because this is seriously weird.

    SPN: Two Ficlets
    I’ve been thinking about Pamela lately, who is one of my favorite of SPN's women. So I wrote a couple of ficlets, just kind of trying her on for size. Both are gen.

    This first one is just a sort of a sketch of part of a possible longer fic I may write.

    OH HOLY FREAKIN' GUH!!!

    I guess I have a lot to catch up on
    I have so much to say that I need bullet points!

    * Mr. Z and I went to see a production of You Can’t Take It With You this afternoon. God, it was so good! Just delightful – a really flawless production. Then we went out for an early dinner. All in all, a very good day, and the first time that I haven’t been blue since I lost my job.

    * I’ve been fortunate to have some awesome ficlets and comment fic written for me lately. In the holiday/vacation madness I neglected to save them, but I have hunted them down and linked them below. These are the ones I could recall and they are all so freakin’ fantastic. If you wrote me something & I didn’t list it here, would you remind me?

    [info]toestastegoodSawyer/Sayid. This is so fantastic and haaaawt.
    [info]holycitygirlIzzie/Denny! I love this pairing and Lee’s fic is so perfectly them!
    [info]lenina20 - Resentment Rides High, just a hint of Sawyer/Sayid! Yes, she wrote S/Sd - she is too good to me!
    [info]gemjam - Tesselation, Sawyer/Sayid. The way she writes these two is always so damn hot and this is no exception
    [info]snookscribblesSnow Day, S/Sd, nice n’ flirty. Yummy.

    * I didn’t thank all the people who sent me cards and that’s remiss of me. Now I can’t remember who I thanked and who I didn’t, so some of you get thanked twice. A big, sloppy thank you kiss to:

    A Couple of Holiday Ficlets
    I was trying to post the holiday ficlets in batches, but since my muse is being horribly uncooperative, I only have two. And since God knows when whatever ails me is going to right itself, I'm posting them now instead of waiting til I have more.

    For: [info]crowgirl13
    Prompt: SPN gen; a little bit of holiday bittersweet with the Winchester men; luminaria, tinfoil.
    Rating: PG? G?
    The Christmas before had been Dean’s last )

    For: [info]falafel_musings
    Prompt: A gen moment from the Blood Red Flag verse; maybe the pirate crew getting drunk and having a raucous games night, with a focus on Sayid, Des and Charlie. [Hon, I'm sorry, this ended up rather slashy. I hope it's still okay.]

    Happy New Year!
    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

    I hope 2009 is a wonderful year for us all! I think it will be a better year. There's an event in 20 days that gives me hope for good times ahead.

    We had a quiet new year's eve. Mr. Z made dinner, then we watched The Twilight Zone marathon and I finished a fic - hallelujah. It's been a while. My writing feels stilted and rusty, but I pushed myself through it anyway. I haven't posted a fic in two months, which makes me feel sad.

    I haven't done any end-of-year memes, cuz I just haven't had it in me. Haven't made any resolutions either, though maybe I'll come up with something today. I thought I'd do a 2008 fic round-up though, just because, even though I haven't written all that much.

    HI!
    Just got home from CA. Work tomorrow, have to go to bed. I've barely been online in days & am totally out of the loop. Did I miss anything? Also, HI!

    Have a Great Holiday!
    A very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and - if you're not celebrating anything in particular... have a good day!

    It's snowing (again) but so far it looks like we'll be able to fly to CA today. *crosses fingers* If so, I'll be on dial-up (except for when I sneak away to a coffee shop) so I won't be around much for a few days.

    This is a time of year when I count my blessings and my wonderful flist is one of my most treasured. I love you guys! ♥

    Wow.
    It's supposed to snow again tonight and tomorrow. 6 - 8 more inches. I just can't believe it. This is so strange. I'm starting to wonder if it's caused by global warming or something.

    I have been meaning to post to say that clearly I will not be completing the holiday ficlets I owe by Christmas. I've been distracted with other things as well as reading actual books and doing other stuff rather than writing. My muse is in a funny place - I enjoy writing when I sit down to do it, but I'm not really in the mood and am easily distracted. Anyway, I'm hoping to have a couple of ficlets ready to post tomorrow, if all goes well, and then the rest after Christmas sometime.

    I haven't been doing the happiness meme, but you know, today I really feel like I want to acknowledge some things that make me happy.

    ~ beautiful snow!
    ~ friends, offline and on, here and gone
    ~ that my dad is still healthy and going strong at 87
    ~ sitting in front of the fire and reading a good book
    ~ being employed, even in an imperfect job
    ~ that I am fortunate enough to get to travel every once in a while
    ~ baking cookies with Mr. Z
    ~ writing
    ~ new Impverse fic at and more to come!

    Also, a few random things that make me happy - Lost spoiler pics at the end )

    Merry Fucking Xmas
    OMG you guys. After being on hold for an hour with Alaska, I got our trip to CA rescheduled, but we're flying late afternoon on Christmas day. And there's nothing on other airlines before then either, I checked, so this is the best we can do. This totally fucks up my holiday and I'm so bummed out! I still have to come back on the 29th because of work, so I only get 3 days in CA. I know I'll deal with it once I just get used to the idea but right now I am so sad. And I have to call my dad and tell him and he's going to be so disappointed. :(

    BUT, as if specifically to cheer me up, cards arrived just now from [info]uhzoomzip, [info]gottalovev (lovely painting, Lou!) and [info]maeby_surely. The timing couldn't have been better to lift my spirits.

    It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
    Well, my flight to CA tomorrow has been canceled.

    And here is why: )
    5:15 pm
    A meme, as seen around my flist:
    Just because it sounds fun and I'm curious:

    If you could force me to write anything, what would it be?

    Is the world coming to an end?
    It has been snowing for the past 24 hours. Snowing without stopping! This does not happen in Seattle, not never! It is INSANE. We have like a foot of snow in the back yard! We live on a super-busy street and there are hardly any cars at all going by. The city is pretty well shut down.

    Mr. Z and I are supposed to be flying to Oakland tomorrow, but Idk if we can even get to the airport, though Mr. Z scoffs at that. He grew up in New England and can pretty much drive in anything. I grew up in California and surrender the wheel at the first frosty flake. He does have a Bronco though, and it's a good snow car, so we probably could make it to the airport, but whether our flight will be going is another question.

    Because of the snow I haven't got my Xmas shopping for Mr. Z and my dad done (haven't driven anywhere in a week), but I'll have a couple of days to shop in CA, and since we're having a basic Xmas (i.e. few gifts) it should be okay. I just wanted to go to REI and get Mr. Z a pair of Keen's but that requires driving, so that won't happen, so I think I'll have to just give him an IOU.

    I'm going out into the Winter Wonderland to see if I can get a haircut and a Starbuck's white chocolate mocha (YUM!!). I have a feeling the barber shop is closed, but we'll see. Fortunately, I can walk to pretty much anything I'd need to.

    Pics of snowy Seattle coming later!

    HAPPY, HAPPY SOLSTICE TO ONE AND ALL!!!

    Snow Day!
    I have ANOTHER snow day today!!! Holy crap! And this time there is actual SNOW. A LOT of it. It's snowing hard right now. V. exciting, especially as Friday is my day off and Monday I leave for a week in CA. So no work until the 30th. Woo-hoo!!

    Today I have to clean house (bleh, but it must be done) and then I will bake cookies and write porn. Work before play, right?

    I'd been holding off from watching Lost promos or sneak peeks - still battling my love/hate relationship with that damn show - but I finally caved and watched and... )
