turpsI know that I winge about this but I just have to say again. I hate the heat, I hate the sun, I hate being sweaty. Okay, that's of my chest.
I owe so many mails again, I was looking in my in-box yesterday and I have mail from last year, that's not good at all. I'd sort it out but I've been feeling so damn apathetic lately :(
Didn't help that my mam was hear again last night. She goes out drinking from early afternoon then turns up here at 9, the excuse being she's walking the dog. She's knows it's Corey's bedtime yet still does it. What gets me is everything she says is the same every time. Bitching about my brother and sister, then she cries and demands that I talk to them. I just tell her no now, because I know she plays us of against one another. Like she once told me that Chris thought I was bringing up Corey badly, and he'd never even said it. Or she'll say that I said something when I didn't. We all know what she does now, but she'll still do it. Last night it was Kay's turn. Mam had a cry that Chris had bought fish and chips and not got her any ( yes, she's that pathetic )then started having a go because Corey chalked on her path. All it was we were supposed to go to hers after school, got there and she'd gone out. I was hot so we sat on the step a while, Corey found a chalk and wrote, gone home, love Corey. So she came down saying he'd wrote 'sick of you always being in pub, gone home' yeah right.
To top it all I had bad cramps, so couldn't be bothered last night. Resulting in no mails being wrote.
The 100 things about me meme has being going round the popslash LJ's. I started doing mine, but don't know if I'll post it. we'll see.
It was Corey's school picnic today, he took some cakes and biscuits we made. God knows if anyone ate them, cooking is not my strength *g* But I thought the green icing was a nice touch lol
He brought home a lot of his picture's today, as he breaks up on Thurs. Included was this story. I'm going to write it down here as I thought it was cute, so Corey's first fic, mistakes and all.
I am a mean Troll
I live under a old bridge. One day I was wathing tv and i herd sum one trip traping over my brige and he was cross and it was the three Billy Goats Gruff. So I jumped up and said and the big wnock me in the river. I was wash away and landed on an island.
So cute! And good enough to go in FFNet I think *g*
Had the beta reading for The End2 from ME. Apparently it's not possible to fit 9 people in one car, who would have known lol. I always laugh at the first mistakes in my work. Sometimes I just write and think they make sense until someone looks them over and, in the words of ME says 'are you crazy?!' lol
I've already had mouse's story beta and been passed, ME's is done, just waiting on Starwatcher now. Then it's into revision status. Starwatcher did mail with her impressions, and warned that I'm going to have a lot of angry people mailing because of killing a main character off. Not so long aga I would have been concerned about that. But now I think I'm secure enough to know that it's what *needed* writing, it's a vital part of the plot.
Of course if I might be crying into my LJ in the future if I do get angry mails. I hate to think of what one person will say :(

Love you babe, and don't worry about the bad stuff: just breathe through it and read slash... And remember the old saying: "you and me against idiots" (okay, so it's not an old saying, it's from a French novel, but what the heck: screw them, WE love you, hon!)
here is bucket of love and hugs from France *blows kisses and hugs*

Date: 2003-07-15 11:03 am (UTC)Now, that 'first fic' of Corey's was just too cute! I think you were right to immortalize it at your LJ *g*
As for the CD. I'd better not hear about people flaming you in their LOCs or *I* am going to send them a reply myself, I swear! If they're stupid enough to read something they *know* they won't like in spite of the warnings, well they should get ready for some feedback, but from another type! *eg*
As long as the warnings are there, nothing can be said. And in my opinion, people who are still wasting their time a)reading a fic even though they know it's not to their tastes and b)writing a flame afterward are just embarrassing themselves. And if it happens, you'd better not cry, sis, but send them a reply they'll remember! lol

Date: 2003-07-15 11:45 pm (UTC)If the story had to have the death of the character, you had to write it. Muses can be irritating that way...
As for flaming you, that would just be ridiculous. As long as the story has a warning on it, nobody has the right to complain to you that they didn’t like the subject matter. Tell ‘em to read the warnings next time!

Date: 2003-07-16 03:02 am (UTC)Don't fear the flames. *g*
See, if you have to kill a main character, just do it. Warn properly and *do* it. If someone doesn't want to read it, he/she shouldn't.
Just turn a "what will not kill me will make me stronger" attitude on, before opening any feedback on this story. *g*
Keep your cool *if* answering, stay polite and embarass the flamer with that. *g*
My very best wishes.
Pat

*Nods* I agree. I must admit that not long ago I wouldn't have written character death, but now I figure that if it's important to the story it has to be written, and this CD is important to the story.

I hope there are no flames. I do actually think it'll be okay because I am going to warn well.
