... if I type up ".... Justin says apologetic and gives Scotty a quick kiss....", I then read back that line and wonder why I feel that there's something 'off ' with it, do I need sleep....? ; )
Love bingo
8 Feb 2012 00:56I must be crazy. As if writing a season 6 for B&S ain't enough... I just had to give in:

These are my prompts:
So, what will I write? Kevin/Scotty? Apollo/Starbuck (BSG1978)? Horatio/Archie? Something new? Something old? "Breaking up is hard to do" (but necessary) just screams Sarah/Luc to me? "Quicky"? Mhmmm, Kevin/Scotty!
Don't know if anyone wants to join as well, but just click on link and find out more.

About LJ and stuff
21 Jan 2012 11:08Someone pointed me towards this article: The return of LiveJournal and I found it most interesting to read. In the wake of changes that were made last month,the (99,3% negative) comments to the changes and the subsequent 'screw you' attitude that LJ had, this is what I found most enlightening (and annoying):
LiveJournal's leadership has made it clear that their future American business strategy lies in generating new traffic rather than catering to the service's current small-but-loyal membership.
I know that change is inevitable and that there will always people that don't agree with changes, but if a large group of people feel that their joy on LJ has been undermined, then the reaction of LJ could have been one that showed more respect and dignity than a 'shrug,-if you-don't-like-it,-watch-my-middle-finger-and-get-lost' attitude they have now.
I am now not personally affected by the changes as they target larger communities, but what if the next change does affect me or my joy to be here? Then my feelings will be greeted with the same wall of silence that LJ has now for others. They don't care.
And what "today's new traffic" doesn't see right now, is that, in a few years from now they will be the 'small-but-loyal membership' who'll get brushed aside, for the next round of changes, because LJ's attitude now also speaks volumes about their attitude in the years to come and, to me, right now, it screams 'not trust-worthy', 'unresponsive' and 'careless'.
I've paid for Marea67 until December 2012 so it will be around for a while longer, no worry. :) But I do notice the migration towards dreamwidth and the less and less posts under the 'friend's page' of LiveJournal, because 'friends' are moving away from LJ. Even I have 'laid claim' on marea67 and sylviane over at Dreamwidth - yeah! my name wasn't used yet.
I've been here at LJ for a little over 4 years and I hate changes, but I will change place if I have to and I will most certainly stop payment for my accounts, if paid-users are treated with so little respect by LJ.

Twitter? I give up!
13 Jan 2012 23:24Followed all instructions, got rid of cookies, webbrowsing history and whatever else, updated, checked places I never even knew were on my computer, NO! I don't want Google Chrome and NO! I don't want IE9, wasted an entire day on this shit and I'm done! I guess, I'll just have to go on without it. I asked 'Service' for help, but, so far, that didn't help either, (well, I asked yesterday, so perhaps it can still happen - shrug. Of course, if Twitter Service is as good LiveJournal's then I might as well forget about EVER being able to use my Twitter again. - roll eyes.).
For now, however, no more of it, I'm too tired for this nonsense and, guess what, I actually have A LIFE too... ! So, I'm going back to writing my own season 6, which I could have better used my time on today. The next episode, number 11 already, is called "Lost" and will appear on January 22, 2012, .... provided that LiveJournal DOES continue to work for me. ;)

Sorry, these last few days have been so hectic, but my dad is alright now. He had some anxiety-attack in combination with a lack of food, (he hadn't eaten much in 3 days because he 'didn't feel like it') and not enough to drink . He practically only lived on his medication. Not a smart move. They kept him overnight at the hospital, but he's back home and feeling better, and feeling a bit guilty for scaring the living daylights out of me. ;D
I had a good job-interview, but didn't get the job.... :( Well, it was worth the try) and I can finally, much later than planned, post episode 10. So brace yourselves, this one in a tad longer than the others.... :)

I'm sorry, but I won't be able to post it until the 28th. I still have to put in the finishing touches, but I've spend a large portion of today in the hospital with my dad, who had some attack (maybe anxiety, maybe heart, maybe something else) and it's been emotionally too draining to get involved in the B&S story right now.
Tomorrow I have a job interview (wish me luck?) and another meeting PLUS I have to pick up my dad from the hospital again (if everything goes according to plan) so tomorrownight I'll be too exhausted, I fear. So, part 10 will have to wait until Wednesday. I'm sorry..
Hope you all had a better Christmas than mine. :)

Christmas-wishes
24 Dec 2011 16:04As I don't know when I will be able to on my computer and how things will go, so Merry Christmas to all of you and if you're celebrating other holidays, than I hope you'll have (a) great day(s) as well. ;)
Aww, aren't Kevin and Scotty still the amazingly cute? :)

Have added link to ultimate macfarlane if you wish to remain up-to-date about Luke, as it would seem that LMO is rather dead-ish as well (unfortunately).
As my main interest is Matthew Rhys, with Brothers & Sisters in 2nd place, I thought I'd give Matthew his rightful place back on top of the chain. :) Have added the link to his forum to that of his site. :) Join us at the forum, if you wish. :)
Because brothersandsisters-tv.com is dead, I've changed the link to this Brothers & Sisters forum. It is still a bit quiet, but those who love the show and still want to discuss it, you're welcome to join, we're friendly and we would love some people to talk to. ;)
