I feel: annoyed
I hear: the birds chirping

An element of pure preciousness seems to have crept into my Bean world.

'Snarking" just cause I expressed the opinion that you couldn't compare Sean with Keanu when it came to the 100 Sexiest men poll?

Frankly, you can't, Matrix notwithstanding.

She thinks THAT was snarking - wait till the Hello! Annual Poll starts up and the BB are on the warpath.

Judas priest on a pony.

I feel: amused

...if you're gonna write fic for native-English-speaking communities, make sure:

a) your command of the English language is sufficient unto the task: yes, I know, it's a language of contradictions and full of grammatical potholes, but still an' all, an ability to use adjectives and apostrophes!!! correctly would be good; and

b) you can switch between Brit- and Yank-speak depending on WHAT you're writing. This means that if you're writing for a Brit-based fandom, go into your Word preferences and set the default spelling to UK English NOT US English. It's not hard. If you're not native ES and you're winging it, find a Beta-reader who can keep you on the straight and narrow and bloody deal with the corrections.

What brought this mini-rant on? Simple. I've given up reading fic of any persuasion because I just can't get past bad spelling and/or grammar to get to the meat of what are - quite often - good stories. All it takes is a shudderingly bad tense error in the precis to send me screaming to my bookcase for a dose of Robert Jordan, Bernard Cornwell or Roger Zelazny.

Please. If you watch the shows, surely you must have an understanding of how the characters live and talk. Crossing the pond writing-wise is not that hard. Deal with it.

I feel: grumpy

Sean's lead has dropped by 300 since I went to bed last night. Let's crank it up, ladies.

I am: the sofa
I feel: ...still!
I hear: X-Men DVD is on

Happy Lewis's birthday everyone!!

:)

I feel: cheerful
I hear: The professionals DVDs are running :)

The next time I decide to have a party, would someone STOP ME!!! I haven't stopped running since yesterday, and I still have to do all the washing and housework tomorrow! not to mention decorating the back yard on Saturday for the party itself...in 38°Ç heat, I might add arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhh I just hope the thunderstorms hold off till after midnight :) but I'll have to sweep out the garage just n case, dammit.

I feel: exhausted

It amused me for a few minutes between making streamers for my Hogmanay party this weekend. Nicked from various places.

( Read it and weep. )

I feel: mellow

You are a Loner.You dont live with a pack,you
prefer being alone.You can survive this way
just fine,though at times you just cant help
feeling lonely,even with the raven who follows
you as your partner.
