strangevisitor7: I will call Her george (Dean with sword)
Hey everyone, as you know I am always trying to get more people to read and write Highlander stories.

The Highlander Holiday Short Cuts fic exchange has begun posting the stories. Over the next week all the fics will be going up.

I just want to encourage everyone to head over to read and review!

Also, the Authors are secret for now. But like a kid at Christmas I can't wait for my gift story or for the stories I wrote to be posted. And I am having great difficulty maintaining the secret because I was lucky enough to write for people on my flist and I want to tell them so badly. Oops, I hope I didn't give anything away :)

Squee! Someone nominated my fic Stand Me Up at the Gates Of Hell at Twisting the Hellmouth for best Supernatural/Buffy crossover.



I am thrilled , pleased but mostly surprised because this was about the second thing I ever wrote and I never really thought about it again. I even forgot to list it in my archive. But I have now. I am thrilled beyond words that someone thought enough of something I wrote to make the nomination

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updated 12/4/07: Woke up this morning to find a second story nominated. Five languages Daniel couldn't translate, but Dawn could for best portrayal of Dawn.

I may never stop my happy dance. Thank you who ever you are who nominated my stuff and thanks to everyone who has ever read and enjoyed a story I wrote. *hugs to everyone*
strangevisitor7: I will call Her george (Numb3rs - Charlie)
Any one on my flist watch Numb3rs because I totally had a Charlie Eppes moment today and it just made me giggle to think what a math Geek I can be.  Guess it's why I enjoy that show.

So here’s what happened:
I'm in Birmingham today helping mentor several projects and these projects require lots of statistics which is why they wanted me there in the first place. They give me the data and i help figure out what it means and how best to utilize it..

I'm sitting at the table watching the production manager present this raw data on the projection monitor and suddenly the epiphany hits and I know how to statistically present their info in the best way.  I am completely excited.  I jump up and start gesticulating at the big monitor and ordering the guy at the computer to move data around etc.  All the while explaining exactly what I am doing. The guys watching are amused but attentive and I realize at that moment I am channeling Charlie.  Being the TV addict that I am I made the Numb3rs reference and the plant manger laughs because he knows the show and agreed adding that all I needed was a blackboard.

So in honor of my Numb3rs epiphany.  I wrote my first fic in that fandom.  It's posted over at [livejournal.com profile] ncis_flashfic because I took Abby along for moral support. Abby And the Mathematician

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and to my Non US friends hope you had a great weekend.

I am back in the LJ world.  I was having Computer withdrawal and  did not write or edit one word for 4 days.  Yikes.

Sis is doing great.  She is a mad Woman on the crutches.  She is just wearing a boot rather then a solid cast.  They want her doing exercises already.  The bad news is they suspect she will have a permanent limp but she is really optimistic about the whole thing. I am so impressed.

I am not a fan of shopping but Black Friday is my sister's favorite day of the year.  So what's a big sis to do but go along.  Actually, I was so glad to be there this year to help her becasue she was worried that she wouldn''t be able to do it and she's never missed a BF that I can remember . 

She is a machine.  The night before she goes through all the ads and then plots out her morning.  I get a kick out of watching her do this.  She is like a kid in a candy store.  We had a blast , some real sister bonding time.  It was really nice and we got everything she wanted. Plus, becasue she was on crutches we got good parking and everyone was so helpful.

Trying to catch up on everything.  So good to be back :)

Spamalot

This weekend Hubby and I saw Spamalot. It is easily the funniest Braodway musical I have ever seen. We laughed until we cired!

If you are a Monty Python fan, it is a must see. Hysterical. The musical stayed true to the spirit of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" all the best bits are included: The French taunting and Trojan rabbit, the killer rabbit, Bring out your dead, the rescue of the scottish prince, the Knights who say Kni. The list goes on. Amazing how well it translated to the stage.

Father: One day all this will be yours
Prince: Wot the curtains?


Still Laughing!

I have been trimming my TV watching as the season has progressed. As Always I'm curious about what you are watching and your thoughts about your favorite shows, so share

Yes, I was one of the three people who watched Viva Laughlin - wow, that was bad but like a car wreak I couldn't look away. I'm not surprised it was cancelled but I was morbidly curious to see Hugh Jackman humiliate himself in another episode.

Since Viva Laughlin crashed and burned, my one guilty reality TV pleasure, Amazing Race gets to return Sunday in its place. So - happy about that.

More TV discussion ahead )

Brand new

I realize that no one will most likely be reading this. (turns out I was wrong.  people are out there)  In response to the craziness on the LJ, I have been forced to delurk. I read all sorts of Fanfiction but I have never really let the writers know how I feel about their stories.  I see Karma at work here.  Because I have been to shy (embarrassed) to create one of these accounts and let myself be counted, I may lose the opportunity to tell all those wonderful writers how i feel and i may not be able to read the fiction i love so much.  I know it sound weird to be embarrassed about having a journal but I am over 40 and this kind of technology is not comfortable for me. 

I love fan fiction especially the absolutely fantastic Supernatural communities I lurk at.  I have vowed to tell my favorite writers I love their work and hope that they can trust me enough to friend me. 

Thanks for listening.  Maybe tomorrow a list of my favorite stories and authors to prove I have been around for years.  But for now my top priority  to figure out how I can read the latest chapter of Jinni's Alec Winchester verse.  Damn you Kripke   I mean Live journal
