And speaking of sportslash, I watched cricket yesterday. Fleur, you owe me a detailed explanation of wtf this game is about.
V: aww, man. that'd be great
Melle: I just want to READ it, not WRITE it!
V: but it'd still be great. heh
Melle: I need to foist this off on someone.
( Mon amour, mon doux, mon tendre, mon merveilluese amour ... )
Sign of impending insanity: I no longer have slash dreams, I have dreams about reading my LJ and reading slash snippets that never existed in real life. Um.
My body clock was still on British time, so I overslept, and I'm feeling vaguely crappyish, physically. Suspect a slight fever. This is going to have its effect on anything I write today, I suspect. Expect highly insane shmoop drabbles. I have a bunny involving Oliver falling asleep on Marcus on the couch.
I really don't want to get dressed, but showing up at work in just underwear's not gonna make a good impression. Blah. My skin hurts.
1. I've always stood behind what I believe (and put my money where my mouth is), despite sometimes vicious opposition.
A reference, of course, to the decisions I've made in my slash "career", femgeeks, and stuff like that. Because I honestly cannot take credit for RareSlash or RS-X or femgeeks, or any of that shit, but I'm very, very proud of myself for never having age statements on rareSlash, for starting RS-X, for starting femgeeks, for standing up for my beliefs even when I was being equated with a stalker, a child molester, or the Antichrist.
I mean, at the time, it seemed like the most natural thing in the world, but looking back, I'm wondering if I was really young, really brave, really stupid, or any combination thereof. If I had to make that choice again today, I don't know if I'd do it again. I know now what the consequenses were, and I didn't back then, and that makes all the difference. Okay, no, I probably would do it all again, even knowing the consequenses. because that's just the way I am. Blame my dad.
2. I am a good writer.
This is the one I read out loud to the group. That took me a lot of guts. But I do think it's true. I have talent, and I have skills, and I have the will and the discipline to develop those skills. This is my one big talent, my one big skill. I'm good at this.
3. I have a good relationship with my brothers.
Technically maybe not really an accomplishment or a skill, but considering how many people seem to truly hate their siblings, while I absolutely adore mine, I think it deserves to be on here. My brothers and I get along great.
4. I taught myself English
I still feel like my English isn't all that good, a lot of the time, because I misuse expressions and words, and you lot can't hear this, but I mispronounce a lot of words, but all in all, considering the fact that I'm mostly self-taught, this is something I can be proud of.
5. I'm good at webdesign.
Well, moderately good. But I'm good enough for what I need, and that's all that matters.
And now, ( some quotes. )
I know I promised a shmoop drabble, but none of you bitches have given me any yet, either! Dammit.
"Maybe vampires couldn't smile. Spike was the first one he'd ever seen even try. Being staked wasn't something to laugh at. Neither was being Angel."And while I think it's pretty funny, I'm at a complete loss as to where the hell I was going with this. Um.
(From 'Should, a BtVS WIP)
Apparently, my coworkers have just officially closed the office. Apparently, I'm not the only one who's on crack here.
( I'm the Veelas! )
Must. Finish. Drabble.
Melle: Lee: "I beg your pardon? Haven't you ever heard that black wizards have biggre wands?"
Melle: ... LEE!
