HI!

I know I haven't posted in a while, and personal stuff would probably be more interesting to most of you.  And yet, I am posting about fanfic. 

I was reading a story, and this phrase made me unable to continue:  her soft warm skin caressing his cool soft skin oh so softly.

Umm, yeah.  Someone needs a thesaurus, stat.

Darnit

So, now I feel all guilty that my first post in, like, forever was only a little bit of a thing that will not interest most of my flist.  And, as bosslady is out for most of the morning at a meeting, I can stretch (neglect) my morning projects a little bit.

So, is there anything anyone wants to know about my life at the moment?  

Anyone want a drabble?  I can't update fic at the moment, but my interest in writing it is coming back; is there anything you want to know about one of my fics?  

Want me to meet you in X place for Y activity?  Got a joke to tell me?

Now that I've begun, a flood of randomness follows...

You know what I just realized?  I was reading through my old LJ entries (yes, I have that little to do today, for a change) and noticed that I was intending to start watching Babylon 5 last July.  Never got around to it.  I checked my Amazon wish list, wherin I buy lots of stuff I could probably get at the library just as easily because I likes my clutter, and sure enough...Season 1 of Babylon 5 is about three spots from the bottom of the wish list.  This, in theory, promises I will buy it sometime in September.  

Which means that, at the moment, there is about a 14 month lag time between 'oooh, I want that' and 'yay, it's here!'.  Unless it's shoes or clothes of course, those don't count.  Neither do the impulse buys that may or may not overlap with the list of things I am willing to wait to get.  Oddly, this constitutes a major improvement...
