Current Mood: hungry

(no subject)

This morning hasn't been my finest hours for sure, especially when I ended up crying in the bathroom then down the phone to James a little later. It was for a stupid reason too, after no one had arrived to take Corey to school and man, normally I'd brush it off and just get something sorted but today it was too much. Especially as he was so excited because the theatre company is coming to his school today and it looked like he'd miss them, and just, I felt like the worst most useless parent ever. I'll skirt past the embarrassing snivelling just know James came home from work on his break and Corey's at school now. Also, I don't want or need comments about how I'm not a bad parent because I know that. It's just how I felt at that moment, when I was stressing over stupid things. And damn, I sound rude, like I'm dictating what you can say and I didn't mean that either.

But yes, hi. This is me, back and feeling much better. Which is good as I think the couch was starting to get a permanent imprint of my ass on its cushions. I'll spare you details of what I was up to because really it's not that interesting, though the story of the extremely camp district nurse who was frightened of both Moffet and Tex was amusing I suppose. Jordan ( my pocket PC ) and I spent quality time together and ploughed our way through many stories and I watched much late night tv, though watched is the wrong word really as I tended to fall asleep half way through. However, I did see the movie White Squall and it killed me. The dolphin! OMG the dolphin. Then later as the boat is sinking and he's watching his wife and just knows. It killed me over and over.

Taking a cautious look at my in box..eeep. I saw someone had sent a lovely intelligent e mail about one of my stories and reading that made my mood so much brighter.It was a good reminder to not just send feedback about new stories but old ones too, because getting a compliment like that is the biggest buzz. Which brings me nicely to a meme because I have no actual content for this post and need filler ;)

Whether it's "in addition to" or "instead of" the sort of entry you'd post in your lj, try posting one happy memory (without also putting in the doom and gloom "balance") and come up with one productive thing you have done in the past 24 hours. It doesn't have to be something huge -- if getting up and washing your face and brushing your teeth constitutes a big accomplishment, because you've been in a depressive funk for days, then that counts!

The point is to aim for positive actions. Spread the word.

For the happy memory I was torn. Do I use the one that shows what a sap I am or the one that shows I'm a geek? In the end I geeked out *g* I know I don't mention it much on here but I'm a big trekker and have been for a long time. Voyager is my trek baby and I adore the show, faults and all. James and I had gone to a Voyager convention. It was such a blast, we met most of the crew. I got a hug from Robert Duncan McNeil, twice. I danced with borgs and fleetcrew. It was just so much fun. On Sunday we settled down to watch Kate Mulgrew ( Captain Janeway) do her talk. She was about half way through and taking questions when this strange voice asked something, we looked around, wondering who the heck sounded like that. Then the next thing we knew Patrick Stewart ( Captain Picard from Next Generation) walked on stage. I'm buzzing now just thinking of that moment, the hall erupted in sound and everyone jumped to their feet as the two captains stood on stage and embraced one another. It was just awesome.

Accomplishment? I should have done this last week when I was mega accomplished, but hey, in the last 24 hours I took a shower and actually managed to sleep in my own bed. Before that I'd been sacked out on the couch as getting upstairs was too much effort. Awesome accomplishment yeah? I may astound you all by, I don't know, opening a tin myself next ;)

And one more, the last one, promise.

You said anything. :) What's the kinkiest thing you've ever done?

(screened comment)

[click and save]

Damn, and just before I came back to screen.

Now you know all my sekrits ;)

Thank'ee!

Not laughing. :) Just felt curious.

You're most welcome :)

And curiosity is fine, I was happy to tell you.

Cry baby. ahahahahaha. Just kidding! Just a little blip, happens to all of us. *hugs tight*

I am a cry baby, it's embarrassing. What's worse is James told his mam who just came to see me. And she was lovely, don't get me wrong, but I'm fine now and didn't need the attention.

*hugs back*

Thanks sweetheart, your mockery always makes me feel better ;)

Since no one can dictate what I can or can't say: you're the best Mum Corey has. *hugs you*

And now for the questions.

1. Which ten movies do you think everybody should see, and why?
2. Which is your favorite fic with owies?
3. Which is your favorite among your own stories? (by fandom, if you like, the more, the better *g*)

You rebel you, but thank you. *hugs tight*

(1) This is so hard. I'll give it a shot though.

Seven -- a cool movie with some very chilling moments.
The Breakfast Club -- A classic that everyone should see.
Dirty Dancing -- Another classic that needs to be seen for the fantastic dancing and end part.
Young Blood -- Hockey! I love hockey. You know they're going to win but still the movie drags you in totally.
Lost Boys -- Vampires, the Coreys, Kiether, Jason Patric. What's not to love?
White Squall -- It's sad but uplifting too. I couldn't look away.
X Men -- They're mutants! What else do you need?
4 Weddings and a Funeral -- Mostly humour then you're hit by that poem. I'll never forget that moment.
LotR trilogy -- ~~legolas~~ It's a modern day classic so visually lush and beautiful.
Beauty and the Beast -- I like it okay. The beast rocks and they dance and it's beautiful.

Sorry for the sucky reasons but I tried ;)

(2) This meme is going to pitch me right down to hell but Shattered Soul and Decompression.

(3) And this has to be the hardest one of all. TS it's my The End universe. I still like the premise and think it was written well. Popslash it's Boxes. I don't like anything I've written for MX anymore.

Awesome questions Ceci. Thank you.

You rebel you, but thank you. *hugs tight*
*hugs back* Being a rebel is fun. It might help me to remain remembered. ;-þ

*hmm* I've never seen White Squall...*IMDBs* It certainly looks like a good movie. I do agree with you on the other movies, though. Mostly for disability/owie content. ;-þ The only thing I don't like with Beauty and the Beast is the ending. Now, it's been a while since I saw it, but if I remember correctly, the DQ in me was very disappointed.

Oh, and speaking of the LotR trilogy - I got the books today. *chair boogies*

(2) This meme is going to pitch me right down to hell but Shattered Soul and Decompression.
I recognize these titles but I can't remember where from..... Where can I find them? Oh, and don't worry about going to Hell, I'll be there to welcome you. ;-þ

And this has to be the hardest one of all.
I know. That's why I picked it. ;-)

TS it's my The End universe. I still like the premise and think it was written well.
Definitely!

Popslash it's Boxes.
Not too surprising. ;-) It's great.

I don't like anything I've written for MX anymore.
:-( That's never fun. But at least you've written them and probably learned stuff in the process.

Awesome questions Ceci. Thank you.
*grins* I'm glad you feel that way and answered them all. :-)

Shattered Soul (http://amothea.slashcity.com/db/viewstory.php?sid=579)
Decompression (http://amothea.slashcity.com/db/viewstory.php?sid=583) I have to warn for nc for both though.

:-( That's never fun. But at least you've written them and probably learned stuff in the process.

No it's not. I did learn that I sucked back then and writing without a beta is not a good thing for me ;)

Ah, they're slash stories. No wonder I haven't read them before. ;-) (I usually stay away from TS slash unless they're disabilityfic stories)

I did learn that I sucked back then and writing without a beta is not a good thing for me ;)
*aaaw* Well, I still suck and I'm usually too impatient to work with betas. ;-) (though I've started to let people look at my fanfic...I doubt there is enough of an interest in my original fic at the moment to use betas for that)

You don't suck at all, so shush. And you know letting people look at your work shows you want to improve and that's always great.

Talking of which, I keep meaning to tell you. When I redid my upstairs last week I moved the picture you made me, it now has the perfect spot where the sparkles catch your eye. It's so gorgeous and I'm still so thrilled to have it.

Oh, okay. If you say so (and no, I wasn't fishing. Honest). *nods* *tries to hide proud grin* I need to be more 'in your face' with asking people to look over my work. ;-)

I'm so glad you like it, honey! Yay! Now (she said with the smallest trace of pride), do you think you could perhaps take a pic of it? Feel free to e-mail it privately to me. I just don't have a pic of that painting and would love to put it up in my art gallery (http://disabilityqueen.com/art/). Which I know I need to redo, so shush. ;-þ

I know you weren't fishing, it's okay :)

Sure I will. I'd do it now but the camera is in the car which is at James' work *g* I'll try and get it done for tomorrow okay?

I know you weren't fishing, it's okay :)
Good, good.

Sure I will.
Thank you!

*grins* That happens.

Sounds good. :-)

4 Weddings and a Funeral -- Mostly humour then you're hit by that poem. I'll never forget that moment.

I just have to chime in with 'Me too'! After I saw the movie, whenever I read that poem I always hear John Hannah's voice and then my tears start to flow. I can't read it without crying now.

It's such an emotional poem and it fit that moment of the film perfectly. Whoever picked it was a genius.

Trekker memory, definitely you! As for your accomplishment, if you do open the tin yourself, let us know! Seriously now, an accomplishment is an accomplishment - no matter how small it can look to you *g*

As for the question, seriously? I don't think you'd like the one I'd ask cause I already asked it all in of one my last mails. So, I'll pass.

Don't worry, when I open that tin I'll let you know *g*

No worries, I get you.

*snuggles gently* some bits of some days just suck. Calling someone you love and trust isn't a bad thing honey. My email's right there is you want to chat, dear one.

[my achievement for the day. I made it out of bed and out of the house and on to the train, even if I was crying as I went. The day's got slighty better than it seemed then, but if I could have called in unable to face the world this morning, I would have]

I never know what to ask, so just : more snuggles.

Ohh - yeah - when are you going down to A's over that weekend?

Yeah, it was just one of those days and I know you're always there. Same here, I hope you know that.

It looks like it may be the Thursday. The BiL offered to take me down as he's from down that way. The plan being he goes to his mom's with the sil and niece until Sun then pick me back up on the way home. I just hope I'm not inviting myself for too long.

Just offering up some hugs :) {{{{{{{{{Terri}}}}}}}}}}}}

Hugs are always welcome, thank you.

*hugs back*

*hugs* first.

uhm...

What do you consider sexy?

*hugs back*

Thanks, honey.

I love eyes, the darker the better with dark eyelashes. GUH!

very welcome.

mmmmdarkeyes.

like who? hah.

like who? hah.

Oh I don't know...
...
...
You knew it was Chris right? ;)

Chris? Who is this Chris you speak of?

I know no Chris.

hehehehe.

*hugs* :D

what is your biggest pet peeve about lj?

*hugs you tight*

I've missed your hugs :D

I think my biggest pet peeve is the way people turn on one another at times. I hate the kerfuffles that blow up over the smallest things. It's just not needed.

Aww, the questions are over right when I think of questions to ask. Nice.

Well, anwyay, I'm happy that you're feeling better and *muah*.

If you have any feel free to ask, I'll always make exceptions for you :)

Thank you, sweetheart.

*bounces by*

*waves*

*boounces back*

*HUGS*

*bounces on*

Best. Comment. Ever!

You always cheer me up. Thank you!

*holds you tight*

I know the happy feeling from going to fandom conventions. It really is an incredible thing.

And you know sweetie, and accomplishment is an accomplishment. So go you!

::hugs you and shakes pom poms::

Fandom conventions are the best. I mean I loved the celebs I managed to see but it was people that made the cons for me.

Thank you :) Getting anything done was an accomplishment the last few days so I'll take compliment *g*

*squeezes you*

Fandom conventions are the best. I mean I loved the celebs I managed to see but it was people that made the cons for me.

That's so true. I once went to a Roswell convention and I met a few of the actors and writers but meeting the fans and talking with people just made it far better than I could ever imagine. I'm getting teary eyed over here.

Have a good wekend mrs Terri. :)

*hugs tight* *mwah*

*hugs you back*

Thanks, sweetheart.

anytime. you're nice to hug.
