I’m using a Spike/Xandery quote in honour of electricalgwen’s birthday! Happy birthday Gwen!!!!!!!! I hope you’re having a fabulous day and that your vacation is wonderful and relaxing! In honour of your birthday, I’ve posted at birthdayrecs and I hope everyone will check it out HERE to get a sense of just how much Gwen rocks!

Also, I do have fic planned for your birthday – I’m working to complete Chapter Four of If I Can’t Dance and hope to have it finished ASAP!

Speaking of fic, I am also working on completing Outside Pride – I have not forgotten it, I promise!

I’ve been sick recently (I’m still recovering now but am back at work) and discovered that I was unable to concentrate long enough to write so have fallen a bit behind but am trying to get back on track with the writing!

To continue with the randomosity of this post: I was tagged by entrenous88 in the 8 Random Things Meme. ( My response here )

and, and those candles that don't blow out... Those used to scare me. (btvs 5:13)

I have many birthday wishes today!!! February's been such a busy month at work that I blame it for my missing a number of birthdays. Belated birthday wishes to glitter_j, dancetomato and _beetle_!! I hope you all had wonderful days!!!!

Today is also the birthday of two fabulous people on my flist: apreludetoanend and crossoverman. It's been such a delight getting to know apreludetoanend these past few months. I could go on about her writing and icon-making talents, and her wonderful and positive approach to fandom but instead will direct you to the incredible post by madame_meretrix here (at birthdayrecs) - she expresses exactly what I would say. I wish you a very wonderful birthday, Erin!

I was realizing recently that's it's been about a year since I met crossoverman - and I'm so happy we met!! He always has interesting reviews of TV shows and movies, as well as linking to so many neat news items and fun videos. I hope you have a fabulous birthday!!

I was realizing recently that it's been a while since I posted any fic. I've been having some trouble feeling inspired the last few weeks. However, I have been working on a couple of chapter length fics, so writing has been happening (albeit slowly). I also do have some fic I expect to post shortly! In addition, I wrote a piece of original fic (a short story) which I'm submitting to a contest - this is a big step for me as I've never entered a short story contest before.

Oh! And it's the Oscars tonight!! The Academy Awards is my favourite awards ceremony, and even though I've only seen one of the movies nominated for best picture (Little Miss Sunshine) and one foreign language one (Pan's Labryinth), I'm still really looking forward to it.
