Happy Weekend, everyone!

Welcome back, Dacia! It's great to hear from you after so long! Entertain away - looking forward to reading whatever you care to share with us :)
Twinchy
May 9, 2012 08:49 pm
Of course we missed you, Daci! Great to have you back - and willing to entertain us. :-D

Hey guys! Missed you lots! Had stuff going on and hopefully some of my drama has died down and I can focus on entertaining YOU with the "power of the pen". :) Miss me? Say you miss me!

Why, thank you. It just came to mind after twinny kindly read it out to me the other night. :-D

nice one, twinch!

Twinchy
Apr 24, 2012 05:40 pm
Yes, I will. But it's kind of a long story, so we'll have to have some time to chat then. *hugs*
Shay
Apr 22, 2012 11:28 pm
you'll have to fill me in soon - when we both manage to get online at the same time...!
Twinchy
Apr 22, 2012 08:12 pm
*phew* Good to know you are feeling fine, dear. I miss you too - you wouldn't believe the week I had last week. *gah*
Shay
Apr 21, 2012 05:28 am
lol not exactly :) thankfully feeling pretty good, if a bit tired. i was referring to the quietness of the place. miss you guys!
Twinchy
Apr 20, 2012 07:41 pm
I take it that you didn't mean you had problems breathing, dear? ;-) *hugs*
Shay
Apr 20, 2012 11:16 am
Wow, my breathing echoes so loudly in here.
Shay
Apr 14, 2012 08:30 am
Sorry I've been incommunicado lately! I should be back online more regularly sometime this coming week. *hugs* Much love to you all!
Twinchy
Apr 11, 2012 06:58 am
Today though, it's probably as good an excuse as any to show off ones cooking expertise (or, occasionally the lack thereof). :-D
Twinchy
Apr 11, 2012 06:57 am
Hehe, poor thing. Historically, I believe when food was still short, any festive occasion was taken to eat all you possibly can...
Shay
Apr 8, 2012 01:26 am
Oh. My. God. I feel as if all I've done over the past 3 days is eat, eat and eat some more. What is it that makes people equate holidays with food?
Twinchy
Apr 7, 2012 03:53 am
Shay, I couldn't have said it any better. Love and hugs to everyone celebrating whatever holiday they are celebrating.
Twinchy
Apr 7, 2012 03:52 am
Aw, great to hear you arrived well (cat included). Now I'll keep my fingers crossed for the furniture to arrive in one piece.
Shay
Apr 6, 2012 01:41 pm
To all my friends and family celebrating various holidays around the world: may they be joyous and peaceful! Best wishes and much love to you all!
vilnolin
Apr 4, 2012 07:26 pm
well, i'm in jersey, still waiting on my furniture. pal ended up being a car cat, and enjoying having full run of the car.
Twinchy
Mar 29, 2012 05:50 pm
Then lets hope that will have been the only worry, him wetting himself on the trip.
vilnolin
Mar 29, 2012 09:56 am
it's my biggest fear...aside from him continuously wetting himself on the trip. we took him to the vet, and had to give him a bath. he doesn't travel well.
Shay
Mar 29, 2012 03:50 am
oh goodness, the very idea! my cat didn't take to moving to another city very well, either. but thankfully he didn't stray further than the suburb over and hubby found him a couple hours later
Twinchy
Mar 28, 2012 11:33 pm
I'd rather not imagine that, vil. And neither should you have to. *hugs*
vilnolin
Mar 28, 2012 05:12 pm
oh god, can you imagine? "honey, where's the cat?" we get a phone call he somehow made it all the way back to los angeles. from jersey.
Twinchy
Mar 27, 2012 09:46 pm
In that case, I dearly hope your cat will take the move in stride and not run off back "home". *crosses fingers*
vilnolin
Mar 25, 2012 11:24 pm
twinchy, yay!! and to you and shay! yay! i'm a bit stressed, its another cross country move :( now with a cat.
Twinchy
Mar 25, 2012 08:25 pm
Vil, I am SO reading your story ASAP once I find the time! Great you posted something. :-D
Twinchy
Mar 22, 2012 06:58 pm
All the best for your move, vil!
Shay
Mar 22, 2012 05:50 pm
good luck with that move, hon! hope you're not stressed out. if you need to vent, you know where to find us! *hugs* speak soon, i hope?
vilnolin
Mar 22, 2012 03:29 pm
i hope everyone's been good here. i'm getting ready to move :( but i missed you!
Shay
Mar 19, 2012 03:15 am
That about sums it up, yeah. I'm thankful that this is a quiet week (aside from Wednesday) so I look forward to a bit of relaxation. What's up on your end that you're feeling stressed?
Twinchy
Mar 16, 2012 10:20 pm
Poor thing! You sound as stressed out as I feel.
Shay
Mar 16, 2012 12:06 am
Rollercoaster week. Yeesh! Hope to have some time to unwind this weekend, but not likely before Saturday evening. Anyone got exciting plans? Just curious :) Have a great weekend, everyone!
Twinchy
Mar 13, 2012 08:19 pm
Look at the bright side, OBC, you found it; plus, organisation is way overrated anyhow. ;-)

Yay, just found the fragment I've spent 2 days looking for!! #fanficneedsorganising!

New post by me, on the forum - about classifying Dark Angel's characters as Primary or Secondary. All thoughts welcome... Many thanks
OneBadCat
Mar 7, 2012 08:32 am
Aww... you say the nicest things to me :P And it seems like I'll need a bigger respond box, to answer all those questions in your review!!
Shay
Mar 6, 2012 01:12 pm
lol and OMG i commented on it :P seriously, fragment or not, writing is good. your writing is always better than good.
OneBadCat
Mar 6, 2012 11:23 am
OMG... I wrote something... *iz amazed!!* It's only a fragment, and sadly not suitable for the current challenge. But yay, it's going up here tonight :D
Twinchy
Mar 4, 2012 08:42 pm
*runs in and tackle-hugs Shay and the rest of the board even though they are in hibernation... or hiding*
Shay
Mar 3, 2012 11:46 pm
*whistles back at ya* Maybe I'll join you - from my computer chair. (btw, commented on your comment to the challenge post...)
Twinchy
Mar 3, 2012 07:09 pm
I really ought to rewatch some Zack episodes (again). *whistles innocently*
Twinchy
Mar 1, 2012 08:34 pm
Practically, I haven't been online for ages - hence my absence - and it doesn't look promising in the next few days, either. *sigh*
Twinchy
Mar 1, 2012 08:33 pm
I'm sorry, hon... but believe me, I know your pain in that regard. I simply don't know where the time is, anymore.
Shay
Feb 29, 2012 11:14 pm
C'est la vie, non?
Shay
Feb 29, 2012 11:13 pm
Days are flying by so quickly that I can't figure out where they've gone. Hopefully things will slow down soon -at least for a little while - though they'll pick up again in early April.
Shay
Feb 25, 2012 05:57 pm
Wow, long time no see, CC! And this place misses you too, you know! *hugs*
Candycentric
Feb 25, 2012 02:55 pm
oh how I miss this place :(
Shay
Feb 24, 2012 05:42 pm
I'm just that good :P How are all my lovelies tonight? Hope you're having a smashing weekend!
Twinchy
Feb 23, 2012 06:46 pm
Now you got me thinking of the song with the same title again. :-D
Shay
Feb 23, 2012 10:44 am
Silence is NOT always golden, y'know!
Twinchy
Feb 13, 2012 04:26 pm
Just did, hon. ttys
Shay
Feb 13, 2012 03:05 pm
Twinchy, drop me a line via email when you have a minute, hopefully tonight or sometime soon. We should really chat. *hugs tight* And HELLO EVERYONE!
Twinchy
Feb 9, 2012 06:12 pm
"Hello, hello? I think the phone is dead..." "Then why are you saying 'hello, hello'?" LOL
Shay
Feb 8, 2012 04:16 am
Surely some of our members know how to type "Hello!" into the Shoutbox, right? *wonders* (and no, that's not a slight against any of the Shouty regulars...!)
Twinchy
Feb 2, 2012 10:25 pm
Np *polishes halo* and welcome back, sweets!
Shay
Feb 2, 2012 02:59 pm
I should be online again over or after the weekend. Have missed you all :) Thanks for the wellwishes and HUGS to Twinchy for holding down the fort here in my absence!
Twinchy
Jan 30, 2012 08:21 pm
... and back online, me seems. :-p Safe travels from us all, Shay!
Shay
Jan 30, 2012 06:47 pm
getting ready to fly tomorrow. can't wait! itching to be back in my own house, bed, clothes... *is gleeful*
Shay
Jan 28, 2012 07:16 pm
will do my bestest! much love in the meantime and c u soon
Twinchy
Jan 27, 2012 08:38 pm
We miss you too, Shay. Hope you have an awesome holiday, though! Come back safe and sound, please.
Shay
Jan 27, 2012 06:07 am
Should be back home from my holiday by midweek and online again by the beginning of next. Can't wait, though enjoying my break from the cyberworld. Miss you all :)
Twinchy
Jan 23, 2012 09:30 pm
Oh, and Happy Birthday, vil! *hugs*
Twinchy
Jan 23, 2012 09:29 pm
Get better ASAP!
Kat
Jan 21, 2012 08:24 pm
UGH!!! I hate the flu. I'm almost back in the land of the living...
Shay
Jan 13, 2012 05:49 pm
Definitely works for the miscommunication challenge thing from a while back, doll! Dude, I so love the Transgenic stunted emotions. I've said it before but it makes for such good angst!!
Kat
Jan 13, 2012 03:16 pm
Chapter 9A of Good Vibrations is up. Miscommunication anyone???
Twinchy
Jan 10, 2012 02:28 am
Yay!
Shay
Jan 8, 2012 12:26 am
WOOT!
Kat
Jan 7, 2012 11:40 pm
Thanks! *blushes* Chapter 8B is now up as well.
Shay
Jan 7, 2012 11:11 pm
*hugs Kat* And what an update it was! :D ----- Twinchy, I'm back to Alec myself. Forum and Archive have both been "Reset to Factory Settings" :)
Kat
Jan 7, 2012 04:42 am
Another update on Good Vibrations - Chapter 8A now up.
Twinchy
Jan 6, 2012 09:53 pm
I already switched back to my lovely Zack. *hearts the boy*
Shay
Jan 4, 2012 03:06 am
Howdy peoples! Hope you've been enjoying your first week of 2012 :) A shout of thanks to Trinity Day for her caroling RH Prompt response :) And a general shout out and hugs to you all. Cy'alls
Twinchy
Dec 29, 2011 07:18 pm
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, Shay. Pun intended :-p
Shay
Dec 28, 2011 01:58 pm
Oi, Twinch, you need a little more polish *points* over there...
Twinchy
Dec 28, 2011 12:29 am
IF I were to read that sort of thing, I MIGHT have peeked already in secrecy. *polishes her halo*
Shay
Dec 27, 2011 02:11 pm
She's not kidding, people! Delightfully naughty fun awaits you in the lastest installment of Good Vibrations :D *hugs Kat* Cheers, doll!
Kat
Dec 27, 2011 03:59 am
Merry Christmas one and all! My gift to you: Yummy Max & Alec porn!!! See Chapter 7B of Good Vibrations.
Twinchy
Dec 25, 2011 09:48 pm
Happy holidays, wherever and whatever you celebrate! *hugs all around*
Kat
Dec 23, 2011 11:41 pm
Late reply to Crogos. I have copies of PyrodeScorpio's fics: Adv of Alec & Maxie, Alphabet Song, CtrlAltDel, Restart, Here Without You, Thinking of You, Same Song & Dance, and a few oneshots.
Shay
Dec 23, 2011 06:05 am
Merry Christmas, celebrants! Happy Holidays to all :)
Shay
Dec 23, 2011 06:04 am
Awesomesauce, Kat! So happy to host your work here :)
Twinchy
Dec 23, 2011 01:15 am
Squee, new stories! Now, there's hope after all.
Kat
Dec 22, 2011 07:53 pm
Finally got around to posting my stories here after lurking forever...hangs head in shame... Bad Kat!

Because you are a sweet, girl!
Shay
Dec 11, 2011 06:48 pm
:D I wouldn't take your eyecandy away.
Twinchy
Dec 10, 2011 10:34 pm
I didn't say you actually erased any skins but you mentioned once that I was the only one using that skin, thus I meant to make sure Zack is waiting for me. (How cool is that anyway?!)
Twinchy
Dec 10, 2011 10:33 pm
Sorry to hear you're plagued by headaches, Shay. :-( Feel better soon. :-*
Shay
Dec 8, 2011 10:26 pm
fyi - i couldn't sleep. it's not fair. *cries* and i have a splitting headache. again. gah.
Shay
Dec 8, 2011 10:25 pm
and, ooh, dialogue, yay!
Shay
Dec 8, 2011 10:25 pm
No skins were erased, you goose! Only the default was changed to reflect the time of year :) Zack will be waiting (does he have no other prospects? Poor boy!) when you choose to return to him...
Twinchy
Dec 8, 2011 08:53 pm
I'll change my theme to the holiday one for the festive season - be a sweet and please don't erase the lovely Zack one in the meantime, please.
Twinchy
Dec 8, 2011 08:52 pm
We can easily turn this into a dialogue, Shay.
Shay
Dec 8, 2011 04:35 pm
Well, as far as monologues go, this one isn't too bad.
Shay
Dec 7, 2011 09:40 pm
I also miss all of you guys. What gives?
Shay
Dec 6, 2011 05:11 pm
I miss Alec.
Shay
Dec 5, 2011 03:16 pm
Now, if only the RH authorship would leave fic prezzies in my Christmukkah stocking...
Twinchy
Dec 4, 2011 09:15 pm
I can only second that!
Midnight Parallax
Dec 4, 2011 04:52 pm
Love the holiday decor!
Shay
Nov 30, 2011 05:05 pm
We're getting all prettified for the holiday season. Yay :)
Shay
Nov 27, 2011 02:34 pm
Oh hush, you! :P
Twinchy
Nov 26, 2011 09:17 pm
Yes, you are entitled... to be mocked mercilessly. :-p
Shay
Nov 25, 2011 10:32 pm
And no mocking. I'm allowed to whine. I'm... *huffs* I just am.
Shay
Nov 25, 2011 10:30 pm
And I am going to bed. So there. Goodnight, world.
Shay
Nov 25, 2011 10:30 pm
My muse is being a rotten tease. I hate her. I am totally staging a revolt. Later. When I'm not quite so exhausted (yes, mentally and physically.) Grr.
Twinchy
Nov 24, 2011 06:30 pm
LOL, you could always go back to using the old computer, so the breaks and freezes keep you entertained again instead of the spiffy new thing. ;-)
Shay
Nov 24, 2011 11:55 am
Oh god. I'm so overtired I should be collapsing into a near-coma - - - So of course that means I'm wide awake and working. *heavy sigh* The injustice kills me.
Shay
Nov 23, 2011 06:12 pm
Okay, getting the hang of this new computer is taking longer than expected. It's like a brand new toy that needs to be explored wholy and completely. *is greedy and giddy and way too caffeinated!*
Shay
Nov 13, 2011 11:40 pm
Indeed it did :D *hugs you back*
Twinchy
Nov 12, 2011 10:44 pm
*hugs* worked like a charm, didn't it? :-D
Shay
Nov 11, 2011 11:12 pm
I miss you too, hon! I should be online Sat night but not too late. If that doesn't suit you, email me a time and date and we'll try to make it work. *mwah*
Twinchy
Nov 11, 2011 04:46 pm
Do you think there's a chance we'll be able to "gang up" and chat again some time? I miss you.
Shay
Nov 11, 2011 10:45 am
*waves* Hello and peek-a-boo to you, too :P
Twinchy
Nov 10, 2011 08:46 pm
*dares a peek in*
Twinchy
Nov 1, 2011 07:20 pm
You are right, it is a crying shame! Sadly, neither the author nor the story titles ring a bell with me. Good luck on the search and rescue mission though.
Shay
Oct 31, 2011 12:38 pm
good luck with that, hon! it's a shame when fics are lost...
crogos
Oct 31, 2011 07:00 am
I am scouring the internet, determined to find it :S
crogos
Oct 31, 2011 06:59 am
So my question to you is, do you by chance have anything Dark Angel saved by her? Specifically "Restart" the sequel to "Control, Alt, Delete"?
crogos
Oct 31, 2011 06:58 am
Just wondering....anyone recall the author "PyrodeScorpio2" from ff.net? Well, you may already know, but it appears all her work has been deleted. Worse--it was unsaved by her!
crogos
Oct 31, 2011 06:57 am
Well hello board! And Happy Halloween :)
Twinchy
Oct 30, 2011 08:33 pm
*winks and waves at Shay from the messenger*
Twinchy
Oct 27, 2011 07:55 am
Yes, that was vague and wordy. :-P Sorry to hear it's probably going to be the way it is for now. And yes, we MUST change the not-chatting ASAP; I miss you too. I'll be online the next few day
Shay
Oct 26, 2011 08:02 am
How are you, Twinchy? Long time no chat! We MUST change that soon. I miss you. And everyone else who can be bothered to remember me :P *waves at those individuals fondly*
Shay
Oct 26, 2011 08:01 am
and wow, doesn't that sound vague and wordy? :P *laughs* all I know is that the transition back to pain is not fun but will likely keep happening for the foreseeable future. *sigh*
Shay
Oct 26, 2011 08:00 am
I was under ongoing treatment that helped me deal with painful side effects but have recently stopped the treatment because it negatively affects other medical related advancements.
Twinchy
Oct 25, 2011 09:22 pm
*sneaks in and hugs Shay carefully* What are you always inflicting upon yourself anyway, sweets?
Shay
Oct 25, 2011 05:13 pm
OW. After nearly 10 months of not having to worry about excruciating lower back pain, I am once again reminded why I used the very thing I stopped using the other day. May I repeat OW. OW. and OW.
Twinchy
Oct 18, 2011 10:05 pm
*fingers crossed* as well, Shay. And Yay! for hopefully catching you online again soon. *huggles*
Shay
Oct 17, 2011 08:36 pm
Ps. Hope to be online more regularly after the weekend! Talk soon and take care of yourselves!
Shay
Oct 17, 2011 08:34 pm
Past toe breakage happened thrice on the same foot, same 2 or 3 toes! Makes the foot vulnerable to further sprains and breaks which freaks me out to no end. Alls good now, though *fingers X'd*
Twinchy
Oct 17, 2011 08:12 pm
Shay, I hope your toe is well again by now. Especially when it wasn't recently.
Twinchy
Oct 17, 2011 08:11 pm
Thanks for the well-wishes, girls. *hugs* But you are too kind, it was stupid of me, nothing else. And the bad thing is that it's my left hand - and I'm a leftie. :-s
Shay
Oct 17, 2011 03:36 pm
(and no, not a recent break - just remembering past idiocy!) Hope you heal up soon and that you don't suffer too much in the meantime.
Shay
Oct 17, 2011 03:35 pm
At least breaking your finger by accident is better thank breaking your toe by deliberately kicking a door :P Stupidity was the driving factor for me, yours sounds like just bad luck.
Shay
Oct 17, 2011 03:32 pm
Oh dear! I'm sorry Twinch! I didn't think my little scare would be so far reaching! (Hey, I have my own superpower!) *insert evil cackle here*
sue
Oct 17, 2011 06:44 am
Oh no, Twinchy! Hope your finger feels better soon :( I didn't know Shay is a master of scary distraction though hehe
Twinchy
Oct 16, 2011 08:26 pm
It happend opening the door - don't ask... Stupidity cannot be ruled out. *blush*
Twinchy
Oct 16, 2011 08:24 pm
Scare me to death, why won't you? ;-) Now I know... it was your "boo" that distracted me while getting out of my car tonight, so I broke (or mangled) my left ringfinger...
Shay
Oct 16, 2011 06:52 pm
*~Boo!~*
Shay
Oct 9, 2011 03:08 pm
I wouldn't call it 'great', but it was meaningful and tiring :) (10 hours of prayer in a row will do that to a person...!) Thx hon :) And cheers - the 'please note' needed a shuffl
Twinchy
Oct 9, 2011 02:32 pm
I hope you had a great Yom Kippur!
Twinchy
Oct 9, 2011 02:29 pm
Oh, I just saw that you rearranged the "please note" section, Shay. Thumbs up!
Shay
Sep 23, 2011 10:46 am
A shout of welcome to all our new members (as well as returning ones!) We hope you enjoy your stay with us and look forward to getting to know you a bit :) Happy weekend, everyone!
Twinchy
Sep 18, 2011 08:46 pm
I'm sure that would come in pretty handy. Sorry that you're feeling poorly, and I know what you're talking about since I'm also struggling with my runny nose.
Shay
Sep 18, 2011 10:25 am
Seriously? With all the intricate and complex workings and makeup of the human body, The Creator couldn't have thrown in an on/off switch for the nose? Bloody colds.
Twinchy
Sep 15, 2011 09:43 pm
Oh, good. At the very least you came out on top of whatever was thrown at you!
Shay
Sep 15, 2011 07:51 am
oh yes, thank goodness there was a happy ending :D but it was a rocky road to paradise.
Twinchy
Sep 14, 2011 10:46 pm
That sounds more scary than fun... I hope the story has a happy ending. :-*
Shay
Sep 14, 2011 01:06 pm
lol fun (or at least *my* fun) is a relative term and can be interpreted widely. my fun was in not losing my mind :P i'll try to find you on chat sometime soon!
Twinchy
Sep 13, 2011 05:45 pm
Ooooh, sounds most intriguing, Shay. Are you willing to share something of the "fun"? *hugs*
Shay
Sep 13, 2011 05:03 pm
Hope everyone's doing well! This has been the oddest and craziest summer of my life. At least it hasn't been boring :) *waves fondly to all* Enjoy yourselves and best wishes to all!
Twinchy
Sep 10, 2011 11:57 pm
Thank you, sweets. *hugs right back* I'll try and get well ASAP.
Shay
Sep 9, 2011 05:31 pm
Welcome home, Twinchy! Ouch, that sounds awful. Get well soon, you hear? *hugs you tight*
Twinchy
Sep 9, 2011 12:16 am
HOME! Yet sadly, looking like "death warmed over" doesn't even begin to cover it. My voice is gone, my sinuses and tonsils are acting up and I'm constantly exhausted. *hangs head*
Shay
Sep 8, 2011 05:06 pm
Howdy y'all
Twinchy
Sep 1, 2011 09:19 pm
And huge super-huggles for all from DragonCon in Atlanta! *waves*
Twinchy

I think we might have it but I don't have the slightest idea what that is, Skye...
SkylarGrace
Sep 1, 2011 05:45 am
Just a question, but we have an RSS feed, right?
Shay
Aug 31, 2011 05:48 am
I was referring to myself but I'm glad to hear others have been productive or are at least trying. I'm... for lack of better word, stagnant.
SkylarGrace
Aug 31, 2011 01:27 am
I started!!! :D Just haven't quite finished yet... :D
Shay
Aug 30, 2011 06:52 pm
*laughs* at least you finished. some haven't started. :P
vilnolin
Aug 30, 2011 01:48 am
and i finished...and now theres no deadline. oh well.
Shay
Aug 29, 2011 09:08 pm
and whenever the fancy strikes. lots of love in the meantime - i'm off to bed now!
Shay
Aug 29, 2011 09:07 pm
And if my fellow admins/mods bothered to pop by the forum anymore they'd be up to date :P *laughs and pokes tongue* anyway, we've disregarded the deadline altogether. feel free to post or not
SkylarGrace
Aug 29, 2011 09:29 am
I'll support you! I had a HUGE amount of stuff due and I haven't managed to get any more chapters up :/
Twinchy
Aug 28, 2011 10:43 pm
I second my suggestion of postponing the current challenge deadline by one month (until the end of September), pretty please. Any supporters? *looks around*
vilnolin
Aug 28, 2011 12:25 pm
east coasters, check in!
Twinchy
Aug 26, 2011 08:41 pm
Oh no, vil. Get better soon. And Shay, Yay! for your Dad being your big hero. :-D
Shay
Aug 26, 2011 06:32 pm
I always love my dad but as of yesterday I have no words to express just how much he is my saviour and protector and the King to my Princess. *relieved sigh*
Shay
Aug 24, 2011 06:07 pm
and lets not forget that a new appliance is NOT in the budget right now *cries*
Shay
Aug 24, 2011 06:07 pm
yeesh, vil! *hugs* sounds bad. get well soon! internet is back but guess what died now? my fridge/freezer. and a houseful of perishables is NOT fun. I hate waste...
vilnolin
Aug 24, 2011 10:21 am
yay, Internet! but no, this time it was my other foot. so I'm still tryingntomfigure out how to walk without some sort of pain... the shit I get myself into...
Shay
Aug 24, 2011 08:56 am
I expect to be online quite a bit over the next few days but still behind b/c I have nearly 230 legitimate emails to sort through and reply to, appts to confirm, etc. I'll try to get on chat later
Shay
Aug 24, 2011 08:55 am
They sent our new router a day early. I think all that yelling actually helped. (Hubby never loses his temper but whoa did he let rip on the dept. manager for SKY broadband! I was so proud :D)
Twinchy
Aug 23, 2011 08:54 pm
I keep my fingers crossed for you, Shay! Is it too bold of me BTW to suggest an extension of the Challenge deadline by one month since many writers are under the weather (myself included)?
Shay
Aug 22, 2011 10:54 pm
Projected restoration of service: Thursday PM. will find you!
Twinchy
Aug 21, 2011 09:01 pm
LOL, to groany I'll admit but who are you calling old and creaky, Shay? *pokes* I hope you'll get your internet back ASAP!
Shay
Aug 21, 2011 10:55 am
vil, hope you're healing quickly and well, too. we're all old, creaky and groany, aren't we?? :P
Shay
Aug 21, 2011 10:54 am
hope you're feling better, twinchy! i've been off due to no internet access at home. hopefully that will be remedied this week, but not holding my breath *sigh*
Twinchy
Aug 20, 2011 06:53 am
Thank you, vil. Was it the knee acting up again? Here's to a quick recovery for you as well. *hugs*
vilnolin
Aug 19, 2011 06:32 pm
ditto. I had surgery, :(. feel better twinch.
Twinchy
Aug 18, 2011 11:06 pm
Sorry for being AWOL for the past 2 weeks; I've been sick like a dog. *sniffles* I try to get online as much as possible and resume my duties.
Shay
Aug 16, 2011 09:02 pm
fyi - sporadic internet access at best for the next couple days. it took nearly 24 hours to get this message up here! *cries in frustration* if you need to contact me, i'm incommunicado, sorry.
Shay
Aug 14, 2011 02:18 pm
And then there are those days when you're so buzzed and hyper about being lazy! (I fall into the latter category today.)
Shay
Aug 14, 2011 01:35 pm
What is it about summer that makes a person either so antsy that they can't sit still and need to get out and DO something, or else turns a person so lazy they don't want to attempt to move?
Twinchy
Aug 11, 2011 05:51 pm
I'm glad you are not immediately in danger, and it's good to hear things are a bit quieter now at last.
Shay
Aug 11, 2011 08:54 am
Erk! Hopefully nothing serious! *hugs you* I don't know when you're around but I'm online now...
SkylarGrace
Aug 11, 2011 03:44 am
Hey Shay, if you head around here soon and have a moment, could you pop on one of the chats. I have to discuss something with you.
Shay
Aug 11, 2011 02:03 am
Aren't summer days supposed to be LONGER? Or at least FEEL longer? I still can't get everything done in time *whines* It's not fair!
Shay
Aug 9, 2011 05:50 pm
but only a handful of shops and no fire damage at least. The police presence has increased and they've been authorised to use more foreceful means to contain the crowds. Things seem quieter now.
Shay
Aug 9, 2011 05:50 pm
Thanks hon! I'm fine, thank goodness. Crazy stuff happening all over and it's relatively close, but thankfully hasn't spilled over into our residential streets. They looted down the road,
Twinchy
Aug 9, 2011 11:26 am
I dearly hope you are safe and sound, what with the riots, Shay. It's scary. *hugs*
Shay
Aug 6, 2011 05:02 am
I've seen Willy Wonka and that Mike Teavee kid was screwed... So, nope, no beaming for me.
Shay
Aug 6, 2011 05:02 am
*laughs* Of course, swimming is helpful when there are all kinds of sea creatures waiting to eat you :D You know, I didn't suggest 'beaming' (Beam me up, Scotty!) because of the particles.
Twinchy
Aug 5, 2011 09:24 pm
Yet, I'm really into supporting beaming for traveling. :-D
Twinchy
Aug 5, 2011 09:23 pm
I'm aware that oceans aren't all that safe, either but at least I can swim, whereas I cannot fly, simple as that. ;-)
Shay
Aug 5, 2011 04:15 pm
(though I do so enjoy a good cruise ;P)
Shay
Aug 5, 2011 04:15 pm
I vote for apparition ala Harry Potter. Or Floo travel. Even Portkeys would be good. I'd put up with upset stomach, possibilities of splinching and soot it if meant no sea or sky travel for me.
vilnolin
Aug 5, 2011 02:32 pm
i hate ships, i get seasick. and i really dont like flying. thank god my fiancee and i drove across the US
Shay
Aug 5, 2011 04:46 am
Sure, because the ocean is super safe, too :P But yeah, flying can be scary. *shrug* If only there were other means to cross an ocean!
Twinchy
Aug 4, 2011 07:21 pm
And Shay, you are right, ships take their (sweet) time to get anywhere but at least they stay on the ground - or in this case, water. Flying is scary.
Twinchy
Aug 4, 2011 07:20 pm
Plus, shipping rates around the world are insane at the best of times, Skye, express post or no. ;-)
Shay
Aug 4, 2011 04:52 am
(and twinch, yes, ships are wonderful but they take altogether too long to get places...)
Shay
Aug 4, 2011 04:51 am
I may have lost a lot of weight, hon, but not nearly enough to make posting my butt across the world a feasible option! :P
SkylarGrace
Aug 4, 2011 04:12 am
You should just stick a stamp on your butt and mail yourself over. If you do it by express post you could be here by the end of the week! :P
Twinchy
Aug 3, 2011 07:00 pm
Why an airline, Shay? One is able to go to all sorts of places by ship, too. hehe
Shay
Aug 3, 2011 09:52 am
*laughs* yep, those are good options :P but sadly, I'm stuck where I am unless someone is offering to bring me over... *huffs* I need to own an airline.
SkylarGrace
Aug 3, 2011 03:55 am
I reckon you should come here. If you're getting winter colds in summer, you should be fine here in winter :P
Twinchy
Aug 2, 2011 04:21 pm
You could always come to Atlanta with us, hon.
Shay
Jul 31, 2011 11:50 pm
If only...
vilnolin
Jul 31, 2011 11:20 pm
come visit me in LA. it's hot, but dry and not rainy.
Shay
Jul 31, 2011 09:45 pm
Not only is the weather screwy, it went and made me SICK in the SUMMER with a cold/flu combo! WTF!? You're 6 months too early, bubba! Or too late. Either way, you're OFF SEASON, gorrammit!
Shay
Jul 31, 2011 09:44 pm
Oh god, what is UP with this gorram so-called summer? It's rotten weather all around. Rainy, cold, stuffy, hot... *shakes fist at skies* Make up your gorram mind already! I'm sick of it!
Shay
Jul 31, 2011 06:05 am
It was implied :P
vilnolin
Jul 29, 2011 09:33 am
iPad cut off my LMAO
vilnolin
Jul 29, 2011 09:33 am
ok, sex and alcohol. but the rest, yeah, could deal without.
Twinchy
Jul 28, 2011 09:56 pm
Oh, come on... there are still a few perks to growing up. :-D
vilnolin
Jul 28, 2011 10:43 am
the short version: growing up sucks.
Shay
Jul 27, 2011 06:00 pm
gee, your dad is brave (i'm being nice!) And it's amazing what we can withstand as kids and the older we get the less hardy we become, huh? you'd think it'd be the other way around...
vilnolin
Jul 26, 2011 11:15 pm
and thank god when we were kids we seemed to have heat/cold resistance plus fifty! from hot beach into freezing ocean, or staying outside till you couldn't move your fingers...
vilnolin
Jul 26, 2011 11:14 pm
yeah, that's my point, if it's that hot, and you have had any sort of surgery, heavy lifting should not even be in the equation. this is the third time my dad has not learned this lesson.
Shay
Jul 26, 2011 10:20 pm
the temperatures are insane! they bring back bad memories of childhood summers where we were nearly scalded simply attempting to retrieve the mail from just outside the front door!
Twinchy
Jul 26, 2011 07:07 pm
Oh, you shouldn't be laughing at his good intentions, vil. :-p
vilnolin
Jul 26, 2011 05:08 pm
nah, he stupidly decided to rebuild the family deck for my sisters graduation party. and its 104 in NJ, where as, in CA its only 80. i'm laughing my ass off at him.
Twinchy
Jul 23, 2011 10:05 pm
No worries, my back is fine; it was my Mom who's had emergency back surgery - she's alright now again. Your poor Dad, vil. I hope he's doing okay now, too.
vilnolin
Jul 23, 2011 05:56 pm
eek, back? nooooooo! my dad has basically set the precedent, 16 surgeries to neck, back and knees. I hope your backs ok!
Twinchy
Jul 22, 2011 06:39 pm
On the plus side, vil, injuries to the back take even longer. :-p Still, I have an idea how long "soon" can be with injuries.
vilnolin
Jul 21, 2011 10:51 am
somehow, after two years of this knee, my definition of soon has changed! lol
Twinchy
Jul 20, 2011 10:29 pm
Feel better soon, vil!
Shay
Jul 20, 2011 07:15 pm
yeah. rl gets in the way of all the fun, dunnit? and shame on the owwies.
vilnolin
Jul 20, 2011 09:36 am
I moved away from a sleepy little town. oh well, I have to remember it's summer an people have work plus lives. oh, injuries suck.
Twinchy
Jul 19, 2011 09:47 pm
I'm sure the important part of the phrase is "sleepy". hehe
Shay
Jul 18, 2011 06:45 pm
this place is the embodiment of a sleepy little town. hi kat :)
vilnolin
Jul 18, 2011 11:24 am
is anyone alive? ::poke poke:: did the zombie apocalypse come and no one tell me?! ...or did everyone get delayed raptured? oh hell, i'm all by myself.
vilnolin
Jul 10, 2011 01:44 pm
so...i'm iffy about the last chapter i posted in madness. anyone want to message me feedback? aka, beta reader for a chapter?
Kim
Jul 5, 2011 12:31 am
It's impossible to google search the fandom because every fandom has a 'community'. It's very frustrating at times!
Shay
Jul 4, 2011 07:55 pm
Yeah :P Kinda, Kim! It threw me a bit :) Info is helpful to clueless idiots like me! :D
Kim
Jul 4, 2011 05:21 am
Bahaha! Shay, I can see why you would be confused. If you've never seen or hear of the show you would be *huh?* And we giggle at our 'Community community' LOL.
Twinchy
Jul 3, 2011 07:27 pm
Vil and Skye, we're thrilled you are this excited about the new prompts. And I don't see why you shouldn't post your fics there, Vil. :-D
vilnolin
Jul 3, 2011 11:05 am
and do you think it's crass to host my fic there? lol!!
vilnolin
Jul 3, 2011 11:04 am
btw, my friend is doing a webinar for starting you own online business. I'm her first success story! I'd love imput on the store: maythestarsalign.com
vilnolin
Jul 3, 2011 11:02 am
yay! new prompt challenge thing!
SkylarGrace
Jul 3, 2011 08:20 am
YAY!!! So EXCITED about the new challenge!!! So many potential fics. THE BUNNIES ARE RUNNING RAMPANT!!!
Shay
Jul 3, 2011 06:26 am
I'll have to take a look. Thanks, Twinchy! Though I went to meta101 and the site itself didn't tell me much about its purpose, hence the questions! Cheers :)
Twinchy
Jul 2, 2011 07:46 pm
There is some more info on the Forum from where I am kindly quoting her now: "Hi Guys, I've just launched a new archive for NBC's Community fanfic at Meta101."
Shay
Jul 2, 2011 07:18 pm
Hey KIM - can you give us a bit more info on this meta101 thingamajig?
Shay
Jul 2, 2011 07:16 pm
My apologies - I accidentally deleted a shout by KIM. Reposting: *bounces into shout box* go check out meta101 dot com *bounces out of shout box*
Twinchy
Jul 1, 2011 06:52 pm
I did it! I'm awesome!!! Thank you for your gorgeous How-to-Do instruction, Shay. :-D
Twinchy
Jul 1, 2011 09:41 am
I'll try and find you Sat and/or Sun night on the messenger. *hugs tight* Have fun with your guests!
Twinchy
Jul 1, 2011 09:40 am
We obviously share some sort of "binding agony", Shay. I was dead to the world yesterday night and therefore didn't post the Challenge. Sorry. I'll make good on my word now. *sneaks
Shay
Jul 1, 2011 01:57 am
I was so busy I completely blanked you out again. Wow. I'm getting really good at screwing up. I'm sorry, Twinchy love! I'll be online again Sat night for a bit, Sun night, too. Try me?
Shay
Jun 30, 2011 05:45 pm
Oh man, it's July already isn't it? *hangs head* Thanks, Twinchy! I will try to look for you on Yahoo tonight. Should be up late - busy prepping for weekend sleepover guests. Ugh.
Twinchy
Jun 30, 2011 11:51 am
I will post the next Challenge details later tonight, no worries, Shay. *hugs*
Shay
Jun 27, 2011 05:06 am
Anytime, lovely!
Twinchy
Jun 26, 2011 06:47 pm
Thank you for enlightening me, Shay. *smishes*
Shay
Jun 25, 2011 05:19 pm
Twinchy, come chat for a bit. I'll tell you there :)
Twinchy
Jun 25, 2011 04:58 pm
You mean in contrast to the 'admin' section? Or are we talking 'members' tag in the 'admin' section? *is completely confused*
Shay
Jun 25, 2011 01:40 pm
When you do, it doesn't allow us to ban the IPs! And then they just reregister with a new username
Shay
Jun 25, 2011 01:40 pm
An Skye, I know what you mean. I had to ban like 20 registrations between 5am and 6pm today. FYI, please don't deny (with or without email) new registrations from the 'member' section!
Shay
Jun 25, 2011 01:39 pm
Not so weird, Dacia. It depends on your settings and the document from which you've copied the story. Are you using Notepad or Word and is it set with specific spacing, etc? It all matters.
daciavu73
Jun 25, 2011 08:31 am
Chapter 3 of "A Break With Reality" is up. And btw, why is it when I copy/paste the chapter, it shows up all bunched together with no spaces the paragraphs? Weird!
SkylarGrace
Jun 25, 2011 02:52 am
Spam is making me crazy...
Twinchy
Jun 21, 2011 08:05 pm
What makes you think you weren't there, yet?! ;-p (j/k) You know we love you, right? :-*
Shay
Jun 21, 2011 08:14 am
and I hope that admitting that here doesn't put me in the DA doghouse!
Shay
Jun 21, 2011 08:14 am
If I managed to wait this long for my Whax and Mack fics, I can wait a while longer for this one :) But I'd actually rather a nice Trory with a happy ending *hint-hint*
SkylarGrace
Jun 21, 2011 07:38 am
Pfft... if you're waiting on me, it may be a while... :P
Shay
Jun 21, 2011 07:04 am
(cont.) I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to see what you made of the plot bunny. And on that note SKYE - I can't wait to see your take on the idea too! *rubs hands together*
Shay
Jun 21, 2011 07:03 am
Hey Dacia :) I'm waiting for "A Break With Reality" to progress a bit before I sink my teeth into it. Hope you understand :) But from what I see the others have said about it,
Twinchy
Jun 20, 2011 07:19 pm
Fabulous, dacia! I'll have to read that once it's finished.
daciavu73
Jun 20, 2011 08:59 am
Chapter 2 of "A Break With Reality" is up. :)
SkylarGrace
Jun 20, 2011 03:46 am
There you go mate - Mack! I don't know what you're gonna think of it but hopefully it's not too bad :P
SkylarGrace
Jun 19, 2011 11:47 pm
Yeah, I'm with you on the spammer problem :/
Shay
Jun 19, 2011 03:04 pm
I should be around for a little while tonight. Not sure quite when - possibly between midnight and 3 but no guarantees. Will look for you if I am online, though. *hugs*
Twinchy
Jun 19, 2011 02:44 pm
I feel your pain about all the spammers now flooding the forum, Shay. *pulls hair* Do you happen to have time to chat tonight? I'll be online despite previous thoughts.
Twinchy
Jun 15, 2011 10:16 pm
I believe the same goes for a lot of us - for me undoubtedly. Unfortunately I'm currently on limited internet access and feel the pain deeply. :(
Shay
Jun 15, 2011 05:20 am
I have barely had time to sit online and chill this week. It's very new to me. *ponders this* I believe I am way too attached to my computer (and by extension, the internet.)
daciavu73
Jun 9, 2011 11:32 am
Aw! It's nice to be loved! :)
Shay
Jun 8, 2011 05:47 pm
And Skye is right - I love you for it, Dacia! :D But Skye, you're not off the hook yet :P Though your post on LJ made me grin - just haven't had time to read or comment. Back in a few days.
Shay
Jun 8, 2011 05:47 pm
Hey guys! Not ignoring you or the archive or forum. Just really busy on my end for the next few days. Will try to get back here and catch up soon, promise! Love and hugs in the meantime. MWAH!
daciavu73
Jun 8, 2011 02:12 pm
Actually, I asked HER, so I guess I went a different route, It's an enormous project though. Like playing chess and putting all the pieces on the board differently than what they were.
SkylarGrace
Jun 8, 2011 08:58 am
AHAHAHA!!! Don't worry, Shay's gonna love you for it! She asked me to do it ages ago and I didn't get around to it; you did it without being asked! :D
daciavu73
Jun 8, 2011 07:28 am
Thanks Sky! I left you a response. :)
SkylarGrace
Jun 8, 2011 01:12 am
Will definitely review now! It was just 2am and I thought you should have more than a semi incoherent review :P
Twinchy
Jun 7, 2011 09:24 pm
Vil, I took the extreme liberty to delete the two comments you didn't want to be in the shout box. I hope that's okay? *hugs*
Twinchy
Jun 7, 2011 09:22 pm
Gladly, I already got it sorted, eventually; it is just going to take until the next weekend to come to fruition. *sigh* As for the mocking... that is certain to come to pass. ;-)
daciavu73
Jun 7, 2011 09:47 am
And big hugs to you to Sky!! (((Sky)))
daciavu73
Jun 7, 2011 09:30 am
If you're talking to me Sky, then please leave a review. I like reviews, and it shows I have some fan support.
SkylarGrace
Jun 7, 2011 09:17 am
OH MY GOSH MATE!!! You beat me to it! But please do not stop because yours is WAY better!!!
daciavu73
Jun 7, 2011 08:32 am
Hey! I started a new fic from one of Shay's plot bunnies as found on E2RH. Check it out! "A Break With Reality".
SkylarGrace
Jun 7, 2011 03:39 am
Hey, Shay, check it out!!!
Shay
Jun 6, 2011 05:42 pm
oh dear! that sounds awful. for so many reasons! *hugs* i'm sure it'll all work out and soon enough will be forgotten.a nd if not, they can mock you for YEARS! *grins*
Twinchy
Jun 6, 2011 12:52 pm
Does ruining your parents' internet and telephone accessability count for "exciting"? Oops, I think this time I really messed up. *hangs head*
Shay
Jun 4, 2011 03:29 am
*is gleeful* I have a pretty little black dress ... that FITS! Okay, going to stop making this all about me again :P So, people, what's new in your lives? Anything exciting? Do share :D
Twinchy
Jun 1, 2011 07:23 pm
So true, Skye. And happy (belated) birthday, Sue!
SkylarGrace
Jun 1, 2011 08:42 am
With great power comes great responsibility! ;)
vilnolin
Jun 1, 2011 06:18 am
i have influence. :grins evilly:
Shay
May 31, 2011 07:05 pm
Erk! I missed your b-day, Sue! *hangs head* Hope it was a rockin' day!
SkylarGrace
May 31, 2011 09:55 am
Sorry Vil, but if it makes you feel any better, I talked all about Genealogy to a friend the other day when I was explaining about crossovers - your influence spreads... :P
SkylarGrace
May 31, 2011 09:42 am
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE!!! :D
vilnolin
May 30, 2011 09:48 pm
I wish I could have written more. I had so many plot bunnies...pain meds kill plot bunnies though :(
SkylarGrace
May 30, 2011 09:43 pm
I certainly won't - especially because two of those stray will be mine... :P I'd post them now but I have an appointment so I'll be back in a couple of hours and post them then :D
Shay
May 30, 2011 07:29 pm
awesome work everyone! there are some really great responses to the opening lines challenge - well done! *round of applause* deadline's up, but if a few strays slip in, we won't complain :P
Shay
May 30, 2011 09:45 am
"I Should Go" - nice job on that vid, Skye! And I'm still squeeeeeeeeing about the number of new stories (and such great ones, too!) on the archive. Thank you, everyone! YOU ROCK!
SkylarGrace
May 30, 2011 08:06 am
YAY!!! I couldn't help but make a DA vid :P Head over to my site [skylar0grace at livejournal dot com/] to check it out. I highly recommend it!!! :P
Twinchy
May 29, 2011 09:09 pm
Skye, you are super!
Shay
May 29, 2011 06:15 pm
awesomsauceage!
SkylarGrace
May 29, 2011 05:23 pm
Ahahaha!!! Well, last night it was sleep that was the distraction but I managed to post half of them and I'll post the other half now. *HUGS*
Shay
May 29, 2011 08:50 am
if i could catch you online ever i'd make sure you don't get sidetracked by anything or anyone but me :P

Okay, gonna start posting but I'm gonna be a little slow 'cause I'm behind on a couple of other projects so I'm gonna be doing a few things at once and may get sidetracked :P

And great big hugs of thanks to all the authors for their submissions - and in general for the addition of all these new stories to the archive! *my hat's off to you all*
Shay
May 28, 2011 12:05 pm
Guys, if you want the extra couple days, you've got 'em. Consider the 30th the actual deadline and the 27th as the reminder. :P Love ya!
SkylarGrace
May 28, 2011 06:41 am
Still going to submit though! Expect lots of treats - or eight... :P

Twinchy
May 25, 2011 07:47 pm
*smishes* SHAY! so good to have you back in one piece... and mostly rested at that! I was worried about your flight being cancelled due to the ash cloud from Iceland.
Shay
May 25, 2011 06:41 pm
loving the colour scheme and layout, hon :) and hi everyone! back home and happy. mostly rested though that's still up in the air since i can't seem to manage a full nights sleep...

Oh no, vil! That sucks. Feel better soon!
Twinchy
May 9, 2011 09:55 pm
Poor vil... get better soon. What with bed rest, you could take your computer to the bed and type a story for all its worth. Here am I preaching and not writing (yet) myself. *hangs head in shame*
vilnolin
May 9, 2011 02:19 pm
your in our thoughts, Dacia. btw, walking with a cane sucks. I blew my other knee today, and now Ammon bed rest. kill me now.
Twinchy
May 7, 2011 09:32 pm
That's terrible news, dacia. I hope no one of your friend and family got (seriously) hurt. Here's sending good thoughts and hoping for an end of the tornados. *hugs*
Shay
May 7, 2011 12:50 am
and now i'm going to try (key word try) - again - to get some sleep. haven't had much luck tonight and i'm soo sooo soooo tired, gorrammit. *sigh* wish you all well and lots of love
Shay
May 7, 2011 12:49 am

Won't be online much guys, at least not for a while. The tornadoes that wrecked the southeast US have destroyed my apartment. Just trying to get back to normal, but forced to use dial up for now
Shay
May 5, 2011 04:20 pm
yup :) and thank you, have sent your well wishes! erm, i think he'd fall asleep if i read to him :P but thanks for the suggestion - it really is sweet. maybe i can get him to do it for me...
Twinchy
May 4, 2011 07:05 pm
Oh, it was your hubby's b-day? Then please extend my belated best wishes! And for the next occasion, how about reading him a/his favourite book and taping it as a special audiobook?
Shay
May 4, 2011 10:27 am
Okay this is getting ridiculous. Someone needs to inform my stomach that just because it's moody is no reason to act out. Sheesh! You'd think I abuse the damn thing with the way it treats me
Shay
May 3, 2011 07:10 pm
anyway, sleep people! i'm going to pass out now. hugs to you all and have fun!
Shay
May 3, 2011 07:09 pm
god i get lamer as the years go by. i bought him a book. and yeah, i can crochet reasonably well and i can knit in a straight line :P but no materials on hand and it's too late now anyway :)
vilnolin
May 3, 2011 10:54 am
crochet a little star? I can whip one up in an hour, but I don't know if you can crochet.
Shay
May 3, 2011 09:44 am
oh damn! i'm in a bind. hubby's b-day today and no prezzie in sight *shrieks* okay okay okay must figure something out. i have 4 hours to do so... *thinks* um... HELP!
vilnolin
May 2, 2011 12:11 pm
sadly, zombies are done for now, and I'll check on that contact form...later. my sites not iPad friendly :(
Shay
May 2, 2011 06:38 am
aside from that the layout and colors are wonderful :D Nicely done. Your LJ warning may keep me away, though :P beware of zombies indeed!
Shay
May 2, 2011 06:37 am
Vil, getjinxed looks great! *full cheer here* only critique is the contact form - i think the text (sendee's info) is too light on the background and gets swallowed. then again, my eyes are bad...
SkylarGrace
May 2, 2011 12:58 am
I think it's awesome mate and I'm loving the different colours! :P

I updated mt website and lj journal and comm. anyone want to see? make sure I'm not making all the colors the same again? lol

It's possible that even *I* will get something written this time - if I manage to find the time whilst away playing tourist! *is giddy* Good luck all! Btw, you rock & compliments are my friend ;P
Twinchy

I hope you'll manage to wrestle your iPad into submission soonish, vil. *crosses fingers*
Twinchy
Apr 30, 2011 10:35 pm
Thank you very much for the praise but you really have to thank vil for the suggestion - who spared me the shame of asking for an extension for the second time in a row. hehe
OneBadCat
Apr 30, 2011 12:48 pm
I second that sentiment, Vil!! There's hope now, that I'll be able to finish what I have in mind - instead of posting some cut-down rush-job garbage :P
vilnolin
Apr 30, 2011 10:36 am
btw, awesomeness to the admins for extending the prompts! (the iPad won't let me comment there!)
vilnolin

...nope, that pretty much covers me. I'm starved, and can't get my iPad to work. stupid bill pay...

We've lived the last few weeks on under 100NZD, which is about 80US. I really don't understand why everyone in this country is bitching about the price of food! They just need to shop smarte

lol. ditto!
Shay

sign me up! gimme gimme gimme! seriously, if it's a choice between my sanity (read: computer and net access) and existing (aimlessly, mind you) I choose a sane and painfully short life, thank you
vilnolin
Apr 29, 2011 01:18 am
my fiancee and I have similar problems...probably why we now have food stamps: no need to worr about grocery money! lol
Twinchy
Apr 29, 2011 12:36 am
Bwhahahahaha, I shouldn't be laughing, I know. :( But you guys crack me up! You should consider doing stand-up comedy; that also earns a lot of dimes. :-D

*gulp* can I say weekly groceries are NOT on my priorities list? (Though hubby will absolutely disagree and totally fight me on this) *wails*

I haven vacuum. it's sad. but it was vacuum or microwave, and the microwave was more important!
Shay
Apr 28, 2011 10:22 am
no worries :) and lol yes, borrowing a vacuum keeps yours unclogged and in good working order. that doth maketh the sense. if only one could borrow a cleaner to do the vacuuming too
vilnolin
Apr 28, 2011 10:17 am
I keep having to borrow scars vacuum! it's crazy, lol
vilnolin
Apr 28, 2011 10:16 am
well, brunette is right, lol. I'm native American, I've got a ton of fine, thin hair...which ends up EVERYWHERE. and Shay, I know you didn't say no...I was commenting on I got my ass mot
Kim
Apr 28, 2011 04:52 am
Kat, I get the shedding issue. I had to buy a vacuum cleaner with a powerhead because of it. I blame it on our thick luscious brunette locks. Our heads can't handle all that awesomeness.
Shay
Apr 28, 2011 03:26 am
didn't say no, if you hadn't noticed. just that i'd run it by the others :P looks like you'll get your wish, too :P will get back to you later on new deadline date
vilnolin
Apr 28, 2011 01:29 am
ok, so not an extension...but how do you enter a CHAPTER into a challenge? cause chapter 11 of madness is mine.
Shay
Apr 27, 2011 08:48 pm
extension? hmm. i'll pass the message onto the other admincompoops and we'll see what we can do
Shay
Apr 27, 2011 08:47 pm
grab the prompts and beat them to death. i wish i had time and inclination but i'm swamped (and still sick, gorrammit!) so not likely to happen for me. you guys'll have to fulfill me
Shay
Apr 27, 2011 08:46 pm
oh god, i used to shed. had some wackball body problems when i was a teen and into my late twenties. thankfully all those problems have gone away. your man is right. shedding is evil
vilnolin
Apr 27, 2011 02:59 pm
oh, and I am totally claiming one of the prompts for the challenge,,,but we may need an extension. I'm starting legal battles again, and have little time.
vilnolin
Apr 27, 2011 02:58 pm
plus, apparently I shed, which my fiancee says is worse then hairballs.
vilnolin
Apr 27, 2011 02:57 pm
I feel obliged to point out that my real name IS 'Kat', and thus, am always allowed to do hairball jokes. :p
Shay
Apr 26, 2011 09:35 pm
ooh vil! lol you got scar to watch RE? what did she think? I'm not a fan but I did see the first 2. imagine that :P and OY no hairball jokes! it really felt like i was a cat last week
Shay
Apr 26, 2011 09:34 pm
thanks guys *hugs* yeah, a bit. I'm still sniffly but thankfully the cough is pretty much gone. hubby is hacking up a storm and not sleeping nights. i banished him to another room :P
vilnolin
Apr 26, 2011 09:25 pm
sick is acceptable excuse. sides I actually got scar to sit and watch parts of the resident evil movies! and now you have to read, muah ha ha ha-coughhackhairball.

Apr 25, 2011 11:14 pm
No, Shay. You've been sick; there's a HUGE difference! Are you and hubby doing better by now? *sends good vibes*

New Prompt - Spring/Summer 2012
Dear Members and Friends,

It's about time Raising Hell suggested a new prompt to the masses, so here is our latest suggestion: an episode specific double drabble challenge.

Write a short piece, ranging between 200-500 words, on any topic, character, canon or missing scene, quote or idea - or whatever else tickles your fancy! - from the episode GILL GIRL...

New Challenge: Unusual Relationships

A few months back we asked our members what sort of challenges and prompts they might like to see here on Raising Hell.

The following challenge was originally put forth by janes_membrane. We've tweaked it a tad, hope you don't mind, JM! Many thanks for the suggestion.

UNUSUAL RELATIONSHIPS

Write a story - something between episodes, behind the scenes, alternative...

Birthday Prompts

Dear Members and Friends,

So I decided I was going to be a bit selfish and suggest a handful of prompts in honor of my latest milestone, the big Three-Five.

1) A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age.

2) A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.

3 ) Never look back unless you're planning to go...
