Good grief, I'm never gonna get any work done ever again while I can stare at that. Maybe it's a good thing I'm not taking it back to school with me...

Mom and I were gonna do the renewal FAFSA and PROFILE today, but we realized (for the third year in a row) that, oh yeah, can't do it before all the various tax forms for 2003 arrive. You'd think one of us would remember that we've never been able to do this before the beginning of February. And this year we definitely can't do anything until I go back next week, 'cause I have to bug the financial aid office about whether I need to fill out anything differently because I'll be studying abroad all next year.

Anyway, now I don't have to do that today. So I'm flitting back and forth between my big Farscape AU thingy and a scene from some original fic I've been metaphorically kicking around in my head. It's ridiculously derivative (waaaay too much Tolkien last week), but hey, if that kid who wrote Eragon can come out and say "I took all the things I liked about fantasy novels and put them in a book" and still make a big splash, I guess it's not so bad. I'll consider it a stepping stone towards something more original.

Oh, and this SAJV plotbunny keeps coming up and demanding my attention, saying things like, "I'll only be three or four pages...you could finish me in a couple of hours...you know you wanna write me..."

Stupid plotbunnies.

Muse has again buggered off to Bali, so I'm not really getting anything accomplished. So annoying. I may just give up and go back to reading A Game of Thrones...I put it down yesterday after the first Daenerys chapter 'cause I was completely creeped out by Viserys. That whole situation is reminding me vaguely of Gayle Greeno's The Ghatti's Tale trilogy--I remember Vesey as being inbred and insane. Then again, the last time I looked at one of those books was seven or eight years ago, so I don't really know.

Hmmm...I could go answer the e-mail backlog that has mysteriously appeared in my inbox... *wanders off*

::snorts:: Not saying a word. Especially not saying a word since I also seem to have that fourteen-year-old-girl elf kink thing going on.

But. Anti-hormone. S'all I'm sayin'...

;)

"Fourteen-year-old-girl elf kink." Heh.

Yeah, yeah, no more Anti-Hormone. Didn't you hear about that a couple three years ago on the list? ;)

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

I did hear about it, but, you know. You were so adamant at the time. Makes me laugh now. ;)

[icepixie]

Heh. It's still only something of an academic interest, though. Kind of a "okay, you're pretty, now what?" sorta thing. I don't want to actually, y'know, do anything besides gaze adoringly and appreciatively.

I really, really read that wrong.

I thought about that when I typed it. Made bets with myself on how long it would take for someone to read it that way. ;)

And here I thought I was the only one who had ever heard of the Ghatti's series. I read the first three and the first of a second series in like 7th grade... and I haven't reread them since. Now that's saying something. I mean, they weren't bad, just kinda weird and not something I really wanna read again. But, hey, it's nice to know I'm not alone. :)

[icepixie]

Yeah, they aren't bad, just very...juvenile. Well, not entirely juvenile (dude, they're long), but kind of. The first three were the some of the first non-children's books I read, in sixth grade or so. And I read the first two of the second series when they came out, but I don't even know if the third one exists.
