turps

Okay, so in the last two weeks I've been sick, Corey's been sick, James fell over and dislocated his shoulder. My sister came out, a friend of James' family died then a close friend of my family died who I liked a whole lot. We had to grovel at the bank for money,I found out our neighbour has cancer, I upset a good friend and went MIA to a lot of the others because every damn night something happened.

But, we also got the money we needed and have paid off a load of creditors, Corey is well, James is in a sling but okay, I'm better ( apart from my lizard skin patch, but feh about that ) I'm on a writing streak you wouldn't believe, even though my mind is cluttered with sdbs and mutants and Sentinels right now. I love JC's album and I love watching my MX episodes. I have Chris pics and awesome people who comment and make the writing of the AU a pleasure. I'm happy damn it!

You people rock my world. I hope you know that. *hugs flist hard*

I've been thinking about the AU this morning and trying to work out how to tell everyone's story when I'm only using Chris' POV. It's sort of limiting doing it this way, but I like having only the one POV, it just means some info may be missing unless Chris is told about it or overhears/sees. I wanted a Lance/Joey scene but unless Chris is sitting listening, or Joey/Lance relates it after that's not going to happen.

I've got a tentative plot now -- go me *g* -- but the problem I have is the end I want is too pat for a story I'm trying to base on realism. Also, two major angsty events I need to weave in. I have these two scenes in my mind but it's not time for them yet.

Also, the lambs thing, the fact I'm adding under age sex to the list of things I write makes me laugh. Not that I've decided if there will be sex yet, this story doesn't seem that sexual to me yet. Hmmm, I wonder if Joey needs to get some?

Some questions now for all you American's or you people that are smart and know more than me. Hospitals, clinic's etc. I know you have to pay but what happens if you can't? Do you have to suffer or is there something like the NHS for poor people?

At what age is someone classed an adult? Lance is 18, so here he'd be an adult but I'm not sure for the US. I know Justin would be a minor at 15, so how seriously are missing children cases taken by the police? Would there be pictures on milk cartons etc? Or is that something only the rich can do, not a single mom with limited money?

Think that's all.

Going to go try and answer comments again. LJ was blipping on me yesterday, at one point I posted 4 comments for the same post *blush*

OH! Wait, this is a GIP too! Because Joey deserves dick too!. He does, he really does. Even though my last story was a Choey he still didn't get dick, well apart from his own ;) Poor baby. I like Joey a whole lot, I'll have to do something for his month. Thanks go to

Just for your information, I've decided MX and Victor need a day soon *nods*
