The Quidditch Pitch +

  • Aug. 12th, 2008 at 3:08 PM
for home family love etc
My story After Effects is starting to go up on The Quidditch Pitch, and once I get the hang of submitting there, I may put more stuff up.  It is being re-beta'd because that's how they do things there, and some of my chapters were never beta'd.  The only thing up right now is the Prologue, but that's as good as any place to start.  Right now, it's under new stories, and I'm working on getting chapter 1 back to the beta there.  The story is complete, so if you haven't read it already, it should all be posted there with some changes by the end of the month.  Maybe.

I'm actually having trouble seeing - had my eyes dilated, and I can't see properly, but that is for another post and rant about my craptastic day.  Actually, craptastic doesn't seem to scratch the surface of my day all things considered and there will be more crappy fun on Friday as well.  Having trouble concentrating.  Might be back later.  We'll see, I suppose.
I know that the icon doesn't go with the post, but it makes me feel good, so there you have it.

Meme Me

Just got home from tonight's meeting (no this was an actual meeting, not just out with girls), and I'm about to have dinner.  Send me a meme while I catch up on today's reading and highlighting that I missed all day.  Thanks.

Too Geeky for Flashlights

  • Jul. 21st, 2008 at 10:14 PM

 We had massive thunderstorms last night, and our power went out.  Do we have flashlights?  No, of course not, but the geeky family we are has this instead:    a Green Lantern power battery.  We also used a light saber from Star Wars, and some glow in the dark princess toy from McDonald's.  I wish I were making this stuff up. :-D

A Line Has Been Crossed

  • Jul. 16th, 2008 at 11:10 PM

I've crossed a line today.  Not the line where I refuse to use a credit card in McDonald's because the day I cross that line is the day I quit Mickey D's cold turkey.  No, this was the line where I walk into Starbuck's at 9:30 at night and the girl behind the counter asks where I've been because I haven't been in.  Now, I go quite a bit, but it's maybe twice a week depending on when hubby gets paid, but I don't go to the same one - at least, I wouldn't consider myself a regular at this one (even though it was my first Starbuck's, so it holds a special place in my heart or at least on my taste buds), but apparently I am.  A regular, that is.  I don't know if I should be flattered or join a 12-step program.  It might be time to get a re-loadable gift card.

 Funny enough, I got a Chinese fortune tonight and thought I would share it since it just fit.  ;-D

Past Experience: He who never makes mistakes, never did anything that's worthy. 

Remember that.

I'm pleased as punch.

Sporadic Posting - Part 2

I will be away with my family, so if I'm needed (because I am the end all and be all of your lives), just drop me an e-mail or PM, but it may take me a day to get back to it.  I will try to comment/answer comments, but again it may take some time.  I'm collecting all of the [info]weasley_feststories to read later, and I am bringing my laptop with me.  I honestly don't know how I survived this long without one.  It was a lifesaver on our last vacation/holiday, and I plan on using it from now on when we go away.  Have a great 4th (Americans) and a great week.
My epilogue may be late because I haven't sent it to the beta yet, but it won't be more than a few days after my normal end of the week post.  My [info]weasley_esquesubmission is expected to be on time if I can get someone to look it over plus don't forget about [info]spewchallenges.

Happy Birthday Mike. ;-)

I found this on someone else's page: http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16044.html

It's very funny, but the underlying idiocy of the far right...[insert your own whatever here]
This is intolerance gone batty.  What morons.  Oh, sorry, was I supposed to be non-judgmental here?  Idiots.

Unusual Items We Carry Around

  • Jul. 1st, 2008 at 11:26 PM

I was just reading [info]suzy_queue's blog where she shows a photo of the contents of her purse.  She and I both have a sonic screwdriver in our purses, which got me to thinking:  
What is the most unusual item found in your purse?  Or if you're a man, in your pocket or backpack/messenger bag, etc.?

 Well, I've just received my membership card for the International Women's Writing Guild.  I don't know why, but I'm very excited.  Maybe there will be something for me to mention at next year's conference, like some clips or ...who knows what.  Maybe some of you will be there with me. :-)

For those who don't know yet because it's 5:45 am:  George Carlin, the greatest comedian in my lifetime, has died.
I do love this one, but I couldn't find a place for my stuff,.  Here's the link:

My Kids get a pat on the Back

My kids get a pat on the back.  I have a griffin ring that I misplaced more than a year ago.  They found it today.  Yippee!  They were playing in a place in the house where they didn't belong, but hey! they get a free pass for finding my ring.  Anyway, I should have been paying better attention, but I was reading [info]thanfiction- you know who you are, you know what you wrote.  Yea kids!

GIVE YOUR CHILD A FUTURE
GIVE YOUR CHILD A BOOK



Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

"...the existential moment when we
saw the couple in the coma and...

You don't know me at all"

"I think I'm in love, but it makes me kinda nervous to say so"

"if you talk too much, my head will explode"

"I was just sipping on something sweet
I don't need political process

I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they're gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it's been getting to me all this time
And it don't stop dragging me down

Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I'm a travel man
But tonight this engine's failing

I still hear the children playing"

"Something is not right with me!
Tryin' not to let it show!

I tryed to call you collect
You said you would not accept
Your friends are laughin' cause
No body uses pay phones"

"Love just keeps growing the more you divide it, but pain is cut in half each time you share it.” - M.Blake


The Ragged Truth
Music Lyrics I Just Love

"They say that all things come in threes, well here comes the third degree"

"How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me, it's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language you just can't read"

"You're an office park without any trees"
"You call me up drunk, does the fun ever start?"

"If you love me, won't you let me know."

"I'm gonna do the things that I want to do, I ain't got a thing to prove to you."

"You make me come,
You make me complete,
You make me completely miserable."

"Some people call it a one-night stand, but we can call it paradise."

"I beg for some forgiveness, but beggin's not my business"

"You're a glutinous queen,
Narcissistic and mean"

"Comin' on strong like an intervention.
Back and forth and crazy
and we ain't done yet.
Does me no good
cause I'm sick of sex."

"Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back up to the shore
No ones in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
And the blinds are down"
