Does anybody know if any of the members of Helloween, Edguy or Gamma Ray hate/fear/dislike flying? I really, really need someone to - it's suggesting itself as a fairly major 'incident'. Yeah, I can make it up...but something like that I would rather not have to!

Cheers.

There's only one possible title for this picture: ( But you gotta click to see it! )

Having been kicked firmly in the bollocks by arrys_girlie and rockfic, I shall attempt to drag myself out of this deep blue self pitying funk by posting a snippet from a fic I'm writing that I'm rather proud of. This piece, again, took me twenty minutes - it just appearing in my head and bam, I did wrote it.

Enjoy.

( The memory of stone... )

Oh, and turning off comments doesn't mean I don't care what people think. As far as that last post goes I was...letting off steam. Sometimes writing down what I feel helps me cope with it. *Shrug* I'm sorry if that offends.

I thought I'd share this little piece - I seem to write very well when myself, silicondreams and arrys_girlie are all in chat together, bouncing ideas off each other. And according to them both, this piece took me between twenty and thirty minutes to write. I'm rather pleased with it; it's part of a chapter for my AU Iron Maiden fic, Taking The Queen.

( The Legend Of The Pearl Of Hope )

So... I'm interested in what you think!

And now I do writeth Anita Blake fanfiction. I need shooting.

Still, at least I've got somewhere to post it, what with having triad_fic and all, right?

(Ten hour shift from Hell today. Wish me luck, amigos...)

Yup, that's me.

Although it's nice to be actually having a lazy morning, instead of comatose-feeling-like-shit passed out morning. So I'm drinking tea, listening to the Apo tracks I've downloaded and being...well, lazy.

Things to do today:

Muck ferrets out.

Go see Chris and beg for an apprenticeship.

Draw. (I'm in a creative mood)

Shout at file sharing software until it gives in and goes and gets me the music I want.

OK, that last is me being - heh - lazy. I'll confess, the main reason I like to download music is to see if I like a band, then I can go get their albums knowing I'm not going to put them on and think, crap, whatever possessed me to buy this? And in case you're looking at this going WTF? Where has she been for the last gazillion years the answer is - obeying my dear husband's unilateral edict that Thou Shalt Not Install File Sharing Software.

Bollocks.

So I asked arrys_girlie which one she used (I would have used WinMX but the firewall blocked it and I didn't dare ask how to free it up - had I asked somebody else and fiddled with the firewall settings His Nibs would have gone ballistic) and gave it a whirl. Presto, success!

So I'm having quite the ball chasing down stuff I've been meaning to get, although it seems that I only ever seem to get about 50% of the files I select. But then, I'm selecting hundreds of the buggers so no biggie, really.

Does mean I now have a huge list of albums to get. *Snort* Ah well.

Tattoo is as sore as a very sore thing on a sore day. Washed it carefully first thing - gritted teeth - dabbed it dry and applied cream. So far, so hoopy. Washed rest of self, dried off then applied spray deoderant, totally forgetting in my pre-second-mug-of-tea state about the fresh tatt on the left hand side of my chest, dangerously close to said armpit.

And once I'd stopped screaming and rolling around on the bathroom floor (OK, bit of an exaggeration but my vision did go decidedly sparkly for a moment or two) I thought I'd probably best watch out for that for the next few days. *Snort*

Did spend some time looking at myself in bathroom mirror - have never been a vain creature so this is a rather new experience for me. Damn, but I love the way my ink looks; as I said to Bish while we were away, it feels like I'm claiming my body back. Remaking myself in an image of my own choosing.

In other news, triad_fic is filling up nicely with a mix of new and old stuff. Not many fans as yet but who knows. From little acorns mighty oaks and all that horsepuckey, wot?

Anyway. That's me so far.

How's your day going?

All links go to Rockfic...

( My writing year... )

Expressed in the form of lyrics, this time. The band is Magnum, the song... ( Les Morts Dansant )

In other news, arrys_girlie has a new fic up. Ghost Of The Navigator takes up where Rime Of The Ancient Mariner left off, and it can be found at Rockfic. (I would do the link thingy but the memories function is banjoed and I can't bloody remember how to do a link. Nuts.)

Iron Maiden AU fanfiction at its finest. Also Helloween... go and read it. Both awesome fics.

And now I'm going to try and kick my own muses awake!

-- I have posted the first part of the EddieFic. Fuck it, why not.

The Evil That Men Do - Chapter One - Hooks In You.

And it's over...

...until the next time. Which is the first of October, but that's just a measly four nights. *Snort* I'm such a putz!

Now I have to try and reset my body clock - hopefully with the aid of two beta (sorry Ev) projects (from arrys_girlie and mayqueen517) and a new one shot. Which was spawned from a bunny thrown to me by arrys_girlie during a Yahoo chat session. Cheers babe, I needed another project like I need a hole in the fucking head. Hey ho, 'tis just a one shot... in the Journeyman universe. Yeah, I know, I'm supposed to be writing the next chapter of that - blame bloody Fiendy, say I.

Okay. Must be off...
