| PB help! |
[07 Nov 2009|06:18am] |
I come to my CDJ flist because... well, a bunch of you are awesome icon makers and just generally A+ at picking PBs. I put in my holds for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) steamtrek, but, alas, one of my requested PBs had been swapped to before my hold went in. So I am looking for some ideas to fit the concept.
She's a Mata Hari-type seductress, skilled with a blade and can whisper sweet nothings in about a dozen languages or more. My original PB choice was Eva Green. My tendency now is to go with Liv Tyler. (Yes, it is my goal in life to gank all of Julie's PBs. No seriously, I almost put down Emily Browning for my botanist/chemist.) I have a personal preference for brunettes, but I am not at all adverse to other hair types. The character is supposed to be from Austria, so. And any suggestions at all would be much much MUCH appreciated.

Why yes, I did update Dani's facespace status while hiatused. We can all blame entouraage for this.
I've also made a decision. While I can't bring myself to do journal comments and such just yet, I'm completely willing to help people out with their rpwrimo word counts. I'm writing like a maniac this month anyway, so what's a few more words here or there?

JEFF! Oh GOD, he kills me with the awkward and the NAKED and the BREASTS. I think I'm going to go on a marathon Coupling spree this weekend. After, of course, Swingtown. Jack Davenport in the 1970s? SIGN ME UP.

| now taking requests. |

After looking at my current tiny word count for RPWRIMO, I decided to bite the bullet and post the prompt table. I will preemptively say that I worry about butchering other people's characters, but then again, these will be done with love and care, so no bitching. I can't guarantee that they'll be done by the end of November, but rest assured, they will be done.
Also, if you'd like to request a log with me for this month, PLEASE SEE MY OFFICIAL PLANNING/PROGRESS POST.
( I stole this table from Sarah, but again, with love and care. Now start requesting. )

I think I might have to de-hiatus, just to do the snaps cup meme.
ETA: my link. I'll go start posting on the rest of y'alls once I'm done with my wordcount for the day.

| [NaNo] day 5 |

It was a fight to get started tonight, but I picked a scene that would have a lot of emotional resonance for Cian. It's close to where Marc is emotionally this week, and I knew I could try to draw him out that way. And I've got him, a Cian on the cusp of figuring out that he needs to make a major change in his life. From this point in the book it'd be all downhill.
Except for the part where I'm writing out order and there's still half a book to come before this.
Anyway, set a goal of 3000 words for today and bypassed that by 40 words just as I reached a good pause point. Had to make up for yesterday and on Saturday I'll need to make up for tomorrow, unless I squeak a word or three out. We'll see.
9230 / 50000 words. 18% done!

Holy snaps cup, Batman.
I don't remember when the last one of these I saw was; I just remember that I didn't participate and comment on nearly enough people's posts. This time, it's my resolution to do better, and so I will.
My only real complaint about the past few days is that the leg I busted at Rocky Horror is restless. It is both sprained and restless. So, I've been taking it easy, trying to NaNo/RP/write for class/do my research assistant stuff, and, then, out of nowhere, it'll start going, "You know what we should do? THINGS. We should go do THINGS. Like, I don't know, DDR. Or running a marathon. Or going up and down the steepest hill on campus just because! Or, or, or SOMETHING. That'd be AWESOME, let's do stuff." …And it's sprained, so I can't do much more with it than the awkward, gimpy walk thing I can do with my crutches. I had no idea a limb could be both sprained and restless.

SNAP CUPS MEME, hosted by the amazing Rian. I'll be hitting up everyone in a bit.
Also, I woke up feeling like someone repeatedly punched me in the arm, shoulder, and armpit. It hurts like a mother. I'm pretty sure it's just strained muscles from nearly dying at work yesterday on account of pants.

This is not private p much because I think I have a better chance of remembering to do this stuff if it always on my flist. Ignore at will.

| The Black Family Chronicles: Part One |
[06 Nov 2009|12:12am] |
The Black Family ChroniclesIntroduction
My family you will have heard of and you most likely have heard of myself too. People know of my family even if they do not immediately recognise me. Not many people have and those who have don't connect me to my family. Sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes it isn't. It really just all depends on the situation that I'm currently in. My family has a long history which isn't all the surprising if one looks at our family tree. You can trace it back to the Roman Empire. It is rather impressive with the amount of people that are on it. Of course it is going to continue further through my two son's and my wife's brother's children though they will not have the family name. Yes my family is the infamous Black Family of Magical Britain and I am Orion Black youngest child and only son of Melanie McMillian and Arcturus Black as well as heir to the Black Family. My family has given me the task of recording our family history for the future generations to come in a Black Family Chronicle and this is what it is going to be.
Our first known ancestor was Nero Arctus Black in the Roman Empire. It is rather impressive that we can trace our family that we know of ancestors back then. Though not much else is known about them. From there we can travel all the way through the centuries to my children. Hopefully as time passes and they grow older they will continue to add to this Chronicle for their descendants to know of our families past.

Right, this week is turning out even more stressy than expected. Had an intensely busy day at work yesterday, am in training today all day, and working only a half day tomorrow. My husband has the flu. Last night I took my daughter to a concert, and Friday I'm going to CT to see the same concert myself. My son tested for his belt in TKD last night and my parents are being tapped to help move people around because of the insanity. Sometime Saturday night I may be human again.
Still tagging my log during the moments that I can. If anything has gone up that Peter or Alban need to be aware of, please please please poke me here or on AIM. Right now I'm just trying not to faceplant asleep before I even leave the house for work.
