catch-up
First of all, thank you all so much for your comments and e-mails. {{HUGS}} I love you guys so much. Sometimes I forget how many people I have to lean on when I need to. : )
Let's see. There were developments in the Po story, but they have to do more with my grandmother and her insaneness. Just all around sucky. : ( As it stands, I don't know that we're going to be able to talk to her or Po again. <.sigh> She flipped out entirely.
Josh is starting Paxil tomorrow. His anxiety and OCD has been going through the freaking roof. He can't even concentrate on anything anymore. It's been steadily getting worse the entire summer, and mom finally caved and called his neurologist today. It was getting so bad...he has no way of letting go of the tension, even with adding in swimming and daily walks, and it was starting to manifesting itself in hurting himself and others. So, Paxil. We're praying it works. He's missing out on so much.
We saw The Velveteen Rabbit on stage today! It was fun. And a musical. After one number, Dominic leaned over to me and whispered that the last song reminded him of nsync's choreography. Since I had been going, "Hey, that's from Pop. Hey, Tearin' Up my Heart!" to myself, I had to agree. <.g> It was silly.
Liss and I went out last night. Got a fancy roquefort cheeseburger at her favorite French place, then bought $40 of makeup at MAC. But it's good stuff! Taupe and Orb eyeshadow, and Spirit lipstick. Lots of browns. But it looks good, they say. LOL Now to buy brushes to wear the makeup <.g> We also hit Claire's....AHHHH! LOL Spent far too much. Well, $20. I bought three leather wrist cuffs (no comment, Jennie), an nsync anklet (no comment, ANYONE - it's subtle, okay? LOL Unless you're eye level with my ankle, you'd think it was just plain gold. Really), and something for Jennie. <.eg> Hee hee hee! Oh, and a sparkly blue bandannaish headbang thingie with rhinestones. LOL I was feeling really silly, I guess. But it's cute. And sparkly!
Was up until midnight last night with mom over the Grammy thing. I love her so much, and it makes me sad to see her so upset. And I honestly don't think she did a bad thing. (She called Po's doctor to see if hospice was a viable option. It is. Everyone agrees it would be best for Po, give him some dignity. Grammy won't. She flipped out. Ranted, raved, and raged at mom for a good 25 minutes. It was ugly.) So I'm super sleepy. Full day field trip today, another tomorrow. but I am SOOOOOOOO excited about where we're going. Hopefully I'll have good stories to share. : )
As much as I don't want this summer to ever end (it was the summer of boys! Sparkly dancing boys, cute real life boys, etc), I miss having me-time. I miss having time to read my dailies. I miss my online friends. I don't get to read very often, and I miss out on big big things. I'm sorry for that...I don't mean to slack off on you! Hopefully I'll have time to get involved again in the fall. : ) Love you guys!
The Zoo
Zoo update! I finished a story!! <.g> I sat down on Sunday and just wrote this sucker. It's kinda quirky. LOL
Doubles: Chris tells Brianna and Joey the story about how he broke his arm again, but they hear two different stories entirely. It's G or R depending on if you read it like Brianna or Joey. LOL
Love to hear feedback. : )

Po
So I came home from my movie, all happy and bouncy. We had a great time, loved the movie, restaurant was fabulous. Tried ostrich, loved it.
Mom was on the phone with my grandmother. Po's going on oxygen tomorrow. Tomorrow because they couldn't find anyone to get him on it tonight. See, he has esophageal cancer. Has for 2.5 years. And the scar tissue built up so badly that he can't swallow anything, not even saliva. So he had a J-tube, and was given nutritional feed. Now, his body can't digest even that. So he's starving to death. And there's a procedure that the docs recommended, putting a tube in his nose to bypass the scar tissue and everything. But he refused that procedure...that would mean not leaving his bed ever again. He'd be hooked up for the rest of his life. This is the man that at a skeletal 90 pounds (he had been 270) is still driving, because my grandmother has MS and can't, because he has to get to his doctor's appointments somehow. So he refused it. And the hospital discharged him. And now his organs are failing. So. Doesn't really matter that the cancer might have spread to his brain. Why bother even testing? He's going to starve to death. I don't want him to die, I'm going to miss him so bad it's almost going to kill me, but at this point, please let it just be over. He's been through so much. And now this. I can't imagine a more horrible way to die than starvation. Especially for a man who so truly loved to eat. He adored food. And now this. Life sucks.
stuff
Home sick. : ( Sucks.
So according to Alan Boyle's space log, no Lance at CFTC. I'm kinda glad then that I didn't try to spend my money going - the other four guys are great, but it's not as much fun without the full group. But all in all, I'd rather Lance spend time training than taking off the few days, if he really is going up. Far more important. <.g> I'm still expecting pictures, though. Especially if Chris DOES have a Mohawk.
Planning to watch Crossroads this afternoon, as long as I'm home. I feel bad that I took the day off, but I was in horrid shape this morning. It was like a bad period, but only with less bad cramps. So I was just dizzy and nauseous and hot/cold and collapsed on the floor. For no apparent reason. I almost wish the cramps had been bad...that at least is a reason. <.g>
Um, what else is there? Covered the no Lance, covered the sick. There has to be more, given the non-existant amount of times I've posted lately. <.g>
Oh, I called the apartment rental place to see if I could move in early, 'cause Daddy's not thrilled about Damien. They said not to even ASK until the 19th. Well, byt then, I'll have been down there for a week! Urgh. Oh, well. I tried, daddy. But I also asked about ethernet, and she said I have to call the Champaign phone company to do that. So that's on my schedule for sometime soon. <.g>

new quiz
Today's my MHD, BTW, for those confused as to why I'm posting during the day. <.giggle>
I got this answer on the quiz, but somehow, I don't buy it. LOL
Find out which Xena girl you are.
Hmmm. Changed two answers and STILL got Xena. Well, okay. <.g>
quiz
First time I took this, I got Lance and Adventure. I'm all for Lance, but it didn't really fit. <.g> This one fits.

II. Here and now
9. How many different stories are you currently writing? Oh, MAN. LOL I count 16 files in Word. There may be more.
10. In how many different fandoms? 5 - HP, Buffy, XF, WENN, nsync
11. Will you finish them all? Probably not. I hope to, though.
12. Do you jump from fic to fic, or pick one and stick to it till it's written? I used to write one and finish it, but now I jump.
13. How many fandoms do you consider yourself interested it at the moment? Ummm, definitely nsync. To a lesser extent, also HP, WW, SN, and Xena.
14. How many of them would you say you're actually obsessed about? Only one.

17. Number of authors who've made you cry with their stories? Not sure, actually. Jennie has.

Uhhhh, not sure. Pretty much all of Coldhearted is memorable. I can quote some bits from memory. <.g>
19. Favorite line/paragraph you've ever written? I'm supposed to like things I write? LOL Okay. This is from my WENN/X-Files crossover, wherein this is Mulder in Scott's body, in 1941.
"Mr. Sherwood? I'm Nate Daniels, from Nova Paper Products." The young man strode forward and shook Mulder's hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Daniels. Please, have a seat." He made his way behind the desk, hoping that Scott had thought to place the show proposal somewhere visible. He surveyed the piles, searching for anything that might resemble a show proposal. With a sinking feeling, he began opening and closing drawers but still had no luck. "Oh, boy," he said under his breath, before looking back up at Mr. Daniels, who was waiting expectantly. "Well, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away..."
The Star Wars gag continued on throughout the story. <.g>
20. Are you a OTP person or do you just 'mix and match'? Total mix and match! In every fandom. I may be a die-hard shipper, but I wrote the first Scully/Tara Maclay romance. <.g>
21. Do the stories you read/write and your involvement in fandom change the perception of the show (FPFic) / the people (PRFic) in question? I think so, yes.
22. If yes, how so? I have more sympathy for characters that I write - get to know them better.
hodge-podge
I (heart) Border's!! Got many fun things. Wheeee! Things to read!! Romance novels and WW2 spy thrillers! I'm bizarre.
My Miggie-dear is having a birthday tomorrow! Actually, by her, it's today. So Happy Birthday, sweetie!!!! I hope you have a lovely day. {{{HUGS}}}
Dominic wants me to have sex with Damien. He keeps giving me advice. I'm going, "ACK!" And probably blushing a lot, too. LOL But he has it all planned out for me. At least he sees me as someone sexual, I guess. More than Damien ever demonstrated. But does he have to be forcing me off on another guy? LOL
Ran into my old boss on Friday. She kept staring at my notebook on my lap. Where I was writing JC/Chris stuff. With mentions of Justin. Hopefully she didn't make the connection, as last summer I was fairly vehemently anti-sync. LOL But it was quite the awkard conversation. I almost asked her how Jess was doing. Jess being the girl who took what was supposed to be my job. <.g> But I didn't.
What else is happening? Not much. At work, I got this one little boy to giggle and laugh. He doesn't really do either, except at innapropriate times (when he's in trouble, when someone gets hurt, etc). So I liked that. I love being around the kids. We did face painting the other day. The kids were supposed to be clowns, but no one wanted that. So D ended up doing a lot of power rangers (most of the boys went to him) and I did a lot of jewelry, flowers, and hearts (most of the girls went to me). It was really amusing. <.g> He kept laughing at me, because I would be like, "A flower? Sure, I can actually draw that!" LOL Super fun afternoon.
Feel like pulling out old tapes. Wanna see Space Cowboy in Madison Square Garden. Wanna watch "The Xena Scrolls" episode. Want some slash. Want Sports Night. Which is coming out on DVD in November!!!!! Both seasons in one package. I'm ecstatic. But sadly, it's after 11 and I don't have time to watch everything I want to. Because I also want to read. Three new books. ::beam::
My Jennie-girl is coming to me again!!!!! Kate, we're having a guest in September, if that's okay with you. : ) She'll come for a few days before flying to NY to see Joey in Rent. I am so excited!! I had so much fun with her in just one day....all the talking about nsync and baseball and nsync and stuff and nsync. <.g> Imagine the damage we could do in 3-4 days. LOL Especially since, oooh, there could be drinking. We could write super fun stuff after a few drinks, right, dearie? LOL
I feel like playing the Sims. Maybe I'll pull that out before going to bed. I still feel completely behind in all my dailies, but oh well. I'll have time again come fall. : )
July 16, 2002
tired
Man, am I tired! And that's after 11 hours of sleep last night. Let's see, what has happened?
Sunday - met my Jennie-girl!! Spent the day in Chicago with her, scared at least three people, and started writing a story. Man, had a blast. She was taller than I expected, but absolutely lovely in all ways. We so have to do this again. <.g>
Monday - Just don't ask HOW, but D and I ended up having a conversation on masturbation. ::blinks:: Um, yeah. Long field trip, he was running on 4 hours of sleep and I was just dead gone. I think it was allergies....that school is so full of mold. <.shudder> But then, yes, went to sleep at 8 and slept until 7. (We traded shifts today so I worked 9-6, so he could go to his softball game.)
Today - LONG LONG day. Brookfield Zoo in the morning, followed by swimming in the afternoon, and then lunch. D encouraged me to date Damien (after calling me a slut for living with him for two weeks) and told me what he looks for in women: shoes. Seriously. If their shoes don't reflect their personality or look good on them, he's just not attracted. (I wear Keds every day, BTW.) Is this a common thing? Do guys really look for something so very abstract as shoes? LOL He was also teasing me, as per usual, about girls being all delicate. Gosh, I have no idea what came over me, we were being all snarky, and I may have said something along the lines of "watch me be delicate all over your ass." Or something equally....unusual. <.g> Hmm. LOL Whoops.
Oh, and super exciting...got a package from Karey today, full of super cool nail polishes and nsync fruit snacks. <.giggle> Made me smiley and happy after a long long day. And now I'm talking with Jon, who is sending me an Austin picture. Whoooo! : )
one of these days, I gotta find the energy to go through my dailys again....I feel I'm missing some great fics that I wanna keep up with. : ( Hopefully this weekend I can do some major reading.

sports night quiz
Dude, I'm Jeremy Goodwin! Not sure I buy that completely, but I wish. : ) Ditto my second place, Isaac Jaffee. Total honor.
And I've heard from my Jennie-girl - got called "Rina-love" in person (close enough for now, anyway <.g>)- giggled over pretty boy antics and stories - and I like her voice. LOL Yay! Now time for bed. I get 9.5 hours of sleep tonight! Whooo!!
waiting for jennie and too much on Dominic
Well, as the title might imply, I'm waiting to hear from my Jennie-girl. Her flight was supposed to get in about an hour ago, and then she's calling when she gets to her hotel room, so I don't have to worry that she, you know, didn't get to her hotel room. <.g> I am SO very excited to meet her!!! I think we're going to have a blast on Sunday.
Liss and I went to see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade tonight. It was far more hysterical than I had anticipated. Why? They messed up the reels. <.g> It jumped all over the place....we were cracking up! My favorite scene is the end, where he's going through the tests to get to the Grail...Jehovah starts with an I, the path of believing, etc. I was rather confused to see it happen in the middle. <.g> So, yes. It was like seeing it for the first time....you never knew what was going to happen next. LOL
Dominic manages to confuse me daily. <.g> I don't know if I've come out and said this, but I like him. A lot. But he met this girl, and they went out for drinks on Tuesday, and he was SO adorably excited because he kissed her. Like, he was practically bouncing. And he said that she was going to his softball game last night. And she did. But when I asked him about her today, he was all, "Eh. It was okay. Yeah, she was there." And he was out until 4:30am, so obviously he was pretty much out of it this morning. <.g> But yeah. No idea what's going on with them, which is interfereing with my plans to, um, do nothing.
I'm pretty sure it's all on my part, the feelings, but the kids all try and put us together all the time. Telling me to kiss him, telling him to buy me things, asking when we're going out, when we're getting married, the whole "Dominic and Rina in a tree" bit, etc. And he eggs them on! "Yes, we're dating. We're getting married soon. SWAK - this is what I always write when I send Miss Rina a note," etc. <.g> It drives me batty, because it's funny, but damn, I want it to be true. LOL! Oh, well. <.g> And can I just say, I kinda like hearing him say "our kids." <.g> (I'm nuts. Certifiable.)
Oh, and today, we were out for recess. I had just gotten a soccer ball kicked at my head (OUCH, BTW), he laughed and asked if I was okay (NO, I just got hit in the head with a freaking soccer ball, you idiot!), and I moved to the other side of him so he could be the next to get hit. So we're on the picnic table, just kinda randomly chatting and watching the kids. The Pre-K teacher walks up and asks if I went to Northern. I explain that no, I go downstate. So she asks if we worked together last summer. Again, no, this is our first summer together. She said she was surprised, because we seem so close, and we're the perfect team....we're good together. I'm going, well, duh. <.g>
Oh, but he talks about me to his friends! LOL We were playing catch with some kids yesterday, and he asked about the party scene down at school, and I said I really just didn't know. He was blown away. I was blown away he was blown away. <.g> "Oh, come on. You've known me for over a month. Do I seem like the party scene type?" This just really confounded him. But honestly, I'm not. I enjoy parties and bars when I go out, but no one invites me out so I rarely go. I can live without it. But he was aghast and said that I should e-mail him from school, give him a date, and he'd bring the party to us. <.g> And later on, he was STILL on about that. "Not the partying type? There's a type? What makes you not the type to go out?" "Um, the fact that I don't?" "And I am the party type? What makes that?" "Well, the fact that you do?" Apparently not a good enough answer, as he had the same conversation about me with his friends last night. So. Kate, if we ever want a party, he and his friends are eager to present one. <.g>
What else happened today? One of the ladies from the main office has been in the last few days, making changes to our room. Dominic and I are both pissed about that...she keeps questioning everything we do and redoing everything. She is a nice lady, though, and I like her a lot, but it's OUR CLASSROOM, damn it. And what we do works nicely. We had $50 of petty cash left for the summer, and we planned to buy chapter books for the kids...they love to read. She took our money and bought bean bag chairs and clown noses. I'm VERY upset...we had a nice reading area already, and the kids don't NEED freaking clown noses, they need BOOKS! ARGH!!!!!! So now I have to buy the books myself, as does Dominic, and then I'll just give mine to Josh. Because they need more. <.sigh> I guess I'll go through my bookshelves and weed out my really old ones to rbing in.
Oh, but the lady from the office. So we're in the circus room, discussing placement of things (which is reminding me of the other huge problem we have with her....the jumpolene. I can feel my blood pressure rising even thinking the damn word! LOL), and we're laughing, when she just goes, "You know, you're very pretty. Did anyone every tell you that? You have a lovely smile." I was a bit thrown. LOL All I could say was something like, "Oh, um, uh, no, uh, I - huh?" <.g> Probably should have said a thank you, or something, but no, actually no one ever has said that. LOL I think she was just trying to be nice to get me less upset about the jumpolene, but it was a surprise. A nice one. <.g>
Well, the title said "too much on Dominic" and I think I've delivered. LOL Oh, one last tidbit from Dominic I learned today, before I do some more waiting for Jennie...apparently some Corona or wine and an Otis Redding CD (which is very good, BTW) is a great way to get people into bed. It works for him, and he's sure it will work for the ladies, as well. So, there you go. Use it as you will. <.g>
July 09, 2002
nsync night
Driven was so cool! I really enjoyed it. Even my parents watched it...Mom was curious because she can never decide how talented they are (end result: they are, and she still loves Justin), and daddy caught a few minutes and got hooked. I was happy. <.g> But yes....I loved the first part, with the bios. Chris made me just go "Wow," because he's such a strong person. JC ("Josh") made me go "AWWWWW!!!!" because I so heart his adorable little self. <.g> Justin made me laugh and kinda feel bad, because he tried SO hard, maybe too hard. Joey blew me away, and I still think he's the most talented. Jason made me laugh ("I never wanted to be a teen idol. No offense." <.snicker>). Lance....was Lance. Loved hearing him sing solo. Made fun of his speaking solos. <.g> But nothing really interesting there. Sorry, my boy. LOL But I thought it was well put together.
And speaking of Joey being the most talented! Dude, I HAVE to go to New York before December 22!!! I'm thinking Thanksgiving break....he got the role of Mark in Rent from Aug.5-Dec. 22. So exciting! He started rehearsals yesterday. I wanna see him, damn it! That would be so much fun. Kate? <.g>
Hmmm, what else? I'm watching nsync v. bsb on Celebrity Deathmatch, and Dominic persists in calling me Justin, and when I complain, Lance. All in all, I preferred being called "nsync." Well, really preferred my NAME, but after all the nicknames I've thrust upon people, I figure I'm due for an odd one. Just wish it wasn't Justin. LOL
Enough nsync. LOL Love the kids. Dominic was home sick yesterday (coulda KILLED him...45 kids), and wasn't 100% today either. But he was there, so, better. Kinda lost it at one point, yelled at a little 5 year old for throwing a ball meant for balancing, which I felt horribly about, but man, the kids have been rotten lately. I went to History Club again last night, and Keven and I split a margarita. Needed it. LOL I came home yesterday, and Liss said I looked so frazzled. Today added to it. <.g> But I kinda like the History Club people...they're odd, but hey, so am I. It's just taking me awhile to get used to them. They're quite fun, though. : ) For the most part. LOL
Time for new Lucy-fic and bed! Wheeee!
July 06, 2002
hmph
Grrrrrr. I'm finally taking the iniative to upload stuff to s-d, and I can't log in! It won't accept my password. I'm so confused...it's not something I'd forget. ::blinks:: I can log in for mail, and can post here, but not get into cpanel. (edited: Aha! Got it. I think s-d was having a hiccup, as when I checked to see if this posted, there was no formatting. Refreshed, it was back, and I could log in LOL)
Dude, totally sleepy. <.sigh> But super excited that my Jennie girl is coming to see my city and visit next weekend! WHOOOOOOO!!!!! That's going to be a great time. : )
Man, I know there was something I wanted to post. Damned if I can remember. Oh, well. Go read new Lucy-fic at Abducted by Aliens on my sidebar. Lovely. Also read Tiff-recs at We are Many. 'Cause, wow. Very good stuff indeed.
I love my summer and I'm having a good one, but I miss talking with my friends and having time to catch up with them all. {{{HUGS}}} to you guys!
July 05, 2002
learning to read
Man, I so have to learn how to read. LOL So Indiana Jones wasn't tonight, it's next Friday. LOL So Liss and I have plans for next Friday now. <.g> Tonight we went for dessert at a fancy place (Mon Ami Gabi) where I had Strawberry Briand - basically a dish of strawberries, but with sour cream sorbet. It was *fantastic. Then we walked around the mall...Victoria's Secret was having a sale, so I got the cutest pair of underwear for only $1.60. <.g> Then we stopped at the MAC store...I'm regretting not buying eyeshadow. I need some daytime wear for school and work. I think I'll drag Liss on Wednesday. We also stopped by Nordstrom to see if I could fit into FuMan now...I'm into a medium at J. Crew, which thrills me. LOL I found this incredibly perfect and gorgeous black cocktail dress that is perfect for me. Sadly, no place to wear it. <.g> But, yeah, went looking for FuMan and couldn't find it. Obnoxious. Now that I could wear it, can't buy it. Grrrrr. But, had a fun time trying stuff on and playing at the mall, so maybe not being able to read is an okay thing. LOL
School was fun...only 11 kids, so we (me and Anna...Dominic has the day off) took them for a picnic lunch and then Anna left. We watched Jimmy Neutron and then played some games. Much fun. I feel so bad though....I was cleaning up one room, and the one little girl there today came up behind me, kinda lightly smacked at me, and went, "BOO!" I whirled around, but my hand stayed in the same place as it had been cleaning up, and I kinda, um, backhanded her. It wasn't TOO hard, really, but it startled her, and we were both pretty upset. <.groan> I felt pretty lousy after that...it obviously wasn't on purpose and she got over it quickly, but still. <.g>
Also, some of the director's comments kinda bothered me today. She was like, "Well, the two of you can set up the circus room, and then clean up. You know, while Dominic's not here." I was like, um, what? She's done that a few times before...like Dominic is interfering in getting things done, and only I can do stuff. I don't know, I just don't like that if she does feel that way, especially commenting to me like that. I think Dominic is great with the kids....better than I am. But I did get the circus centers up, and game stuff, and cleaned a lot. Most of which I probably wouldn't have done with him there on a normal day, but we also had 10 kids rather than 40, which is obviously a huge difference. So, I don't know. Just blah.
So right now I'm going to try and forget that, revel in Jennie's current potential plan for September, and go to sleep. 'Cause, yeah. Dizzy with sleepiness. <.g>
July 04, 2002
happy fourth!
Happy Fourth of July from the Missing Blogger. <.g> Man, I am SO BAD this summer. I just can't seem to find the energy to type a lot. I do have more quizzes to post though, thanks again to Steph. <.g>
Ya know, I totally hate holidays. Really. Hopefully one day I'll be able to get past that, because holidays should be fun family stuff. But we didn't do anything today, just hung around. Mom and I watched soaps...OLTL was fantastic. Jennie, hope you taped it...if not, I did. Cracked me up entirely! Dominic invited me to his party (me and whoever I could find to drive me), but I didn't call Lissa in time. <.sigh> I knew I should have. But it wouldn't have been her scene at all, so oh well. We (Liss and I) did make plans to see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade at the Hinsdale theater tomorrow, though. It's my favorite theater...it's been in use for about 90 years, and still has the organ and stuff. It's lovely, but needs to be renovated, so this is a fundraiser. I'm looking forward to it.
Oooh, Jennie and I had a BLAST last night, doing this totally silly and fun and sexy random story thing. I haven't had so much fun writing a story in ages - we're a good pair. <.g> Jennie-girl, we totally have to do something real with that. <.g>
What else has been going on? I went to Liss's History Club on Friday. I was almost crying in boredom the first hour as we watched a Frontline special on Enron - they all kept mocking the people and I had no idea what was going on. LOL But then we watched the Daily Show, talked with her advisor about the Cubs, and went out to dinner. (There are only three people in the History Club, BTW). It was kinda fun, but it's definitely more her style than mine. I'm not sure if I'll go again, but I might. Keven's growing on me.
Not a lot of mail today, which finally allowed me to catch up. I was SO behind with the Emus, like 70 messages or so. But now I'm even again! yay! I do so love that group (It was Scullyfic, but now that the show is over, we've evolved into the Enigmatic Muses, or Emus. We've mostly been a writing group for awhile, but now we've admitted it <.g>) I've found myself really not wanting to move back to school (no offense to Kate <.g>) - I like my job. I hate leaving it and the kids every day. And I have to leave 2 weeks early to start a new job that will be far less fun. And although I'm gonna try and call Barr to see if I can move into my apartment early, I might be living with Damien for 2 weeks. That really bothers my dad (who's worried about my reputation - HA! Liss and I had a good laugh over that. There's just so not a chance of anything happening. LOL), but also makes me a little nervous. I've never been completely comfortable with the idea, but you never know. It could end up being fun. Maybe.
Well, as it was I was kinda drooping during CSI (which is a FANTASTIC show and I love it muchly...thanks to mom making me watch. I am so in love with Grissom. What a cutie. Mom says he reminds her of Giles, and I can see why), but I'm totally sleepy now. So I best get to sleep before I drop onto my keyboard. <.g> J and I were up until 12:30 with our story, and it killed me. LOL
