I just got home from a family birthday celebration... this is late for me, LOL!

SO I'M GOING TO MEME NOW!

I hope everyone is doing well. It seems I know longer have any sort of life. Apparently nursing school is pretty intense? Next semester I only have four classes, so maybe I'll have some free time.

Anyways, I hope everyone is happy and healthy. I was in the ER until 1am yesterday with my Grandmother, which was not so great. Seeing all the kids and babies that were ill was so sad.

Now, back to Biology.

octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed!

gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i>

vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. WIP; will be deleted unless more interest is shown.

And,

Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker.

It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans.

I'd like to point out that currently I have two polls up for debate, as can be seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, and whatnot. =) Otherwise, the FAQ and The Rules are already up. The tags/memory post is still a WIP.

I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs.

...you know better than to go snooping around prompt communities.

*headdesk*

Wow, I haven't done this in ages!

For anyone who is new, let me explain what this is. I have a website called BrianJustinLove.com, and this is a little chart showing where in the world the most recent site visitors came from. Is your country there?

Now that we've had the "big reveal" in the Weather/Vacation challenge at qaf_challenges , be sure to check out the fic called "Snow and Shadow" by Thyme.... it's about Brian, Justin, Gus and a kitten... and a snow storm! Just adorable.

It's in multiple chapters, but each one links along from the previous one.

Snow and Shadow, by Thyme

I noticed that I had quite a lot of QAF fic related to the holiday season, which I'm defining as Halloween through New Year's Day. I decided to create a master list to link to from my fic index page. Nothing new here. :)

Seriously. *points to header*

Her delicious header and tweaked coding to make it work properly.

*smooches qafmaniac*

Yay! The casserole...was so much better today!

Recipe!

1/4 cup dry beans (I used red)
1 cup uncooked rice
1 cup frozen veggies (I used broccoli)
1 1/2 cup cheese (I used a mix of mozz, provolone, and chedder)
1/4 cup diced apple
1/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
TT pepper, garlic powder, onion powder

Soak and cook the beans until they're soft. Cook rice until soft. Mix all ingredients together in a casserole dish and bake in a 350F oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve.


It's very, very yummy. The fruit adds some awesome sweetness to the dish. Why did I put fruit in there? *shrug* It seemed like a good idea. And it was :D

P.S. does anyone want the recipe for the cranberry cinnamon biscuits I made yesterday? I admit--it isn't my recipe, but it has no sugar in it except from the sweetened cranberries.

This was my entry to the "Weather/Vacation" challenge at qaf_challenges. It was beta'd by testdog65, and it's about a very, very hot post-513 day in Pittsburgh.

If pool!sex offends you, definitely don't read it. And if you like it, I'd love to hear from you! I've had a long horrible year and getting back to writing has been a wonderful feeling... knowing you're reading makes it better!

As some of you know, yesterday included a trip to the vampires and some of the usual testing. So, yeah, that tires me out anyway. But then, one of my closest friends called upset and in tears.

Let me say, cancer sucks.

Five years ago, she had to have a hysterectomy because of cancer. This past summer she finally hit her 5-year clear mark. Then yesterday she found out she has breast cancer.

Talk about a slap in the face. *sighs*

So, anyway. My mood still sucks. I can hold onto pissiness like nobody else. But, for Michi, I'm trying to let it go and be upbeat and what have you. We'll see how that works out.

Thanks for the emails. I didn't respond to them all, as some of you told me not to and for once I listened. But they did mean a lot. So, yeah, thanks for that.

The master list for qaf_scavenger's Fall Contest is up. Lots of icons, headers, vids, and fic... even a few from me. ;)

Go read, look, watch and leave everyone some love!

The master list is up for the QAF Challenges weather/vacation challenge. So, yeah, I can claim my ficlet. *g*

Take, credit, NO HOTLINKING PLEASE!

I have started capping Trueblood season 1 and have decided to share the links with my friends list.

I have episodes 1 and 2 done so far, and will be finishing up the rest in the next couple days, I hope. Please feel free to download them using the links provided.

They are RAR files so you will need winrar to download them.

I am working on the next couple of chapters of "Directions," and I was wondering if some lovely British fangirl could tell me -- is there a typical time that a university would be closed for the Christmas season? Or would it vary from school to school?

Thanks so much!

I'm screen capping Trueblood season one. I'm going to upload it to Megaupload when I'm done. Let me know if you are interested in the links. I will post them here if you are.
