...and I almost forgot...

[in_the_blue]

...to pimp the writing challenge.

So, is it the subject matter that's too something or other? Or perhaps everyone's just busy with school. Or doesn't want to write. I guess I'll try it one more time next month, and then if people don't seem interested, I'll give it a rest.

Anyway. That aside... it's 12:30 and everyone's finally asleep. Except me, and that's fine; I know enough about myself to know that I need time to myself. The kids were very good and everyone's gotten along swimmingly. I think I had something profound to write, but Spike stole my brain and made me tell stories about his time on the Bebop and tonight I only have the capacity to be thinking in one brain at a time. Last night I had a crazy urge to app Gren, but thankfully someone saner than me talked me out of it.

Now for the random neural firings part:

Heh. I can tell my daughter's almost a teenager: she got a lava lamp for a present.

My cat Tribble is wanting attention. I think she likes it when I'm sitting up in what used to be my office before it became the family computer room. Usually I'm downstairs in the living room and she's just grooving on me being here in old haunts. Sitting by the computer, reaching out for me with her paw, purring up a storm.

I think my husband is traveling each of the next three weeks. (Anyone have a pool boy they don't need? I might want to borrow him.)

School is almost done for the year for Hannah. Less than a month left.

I'm sitting in as resident expert on the panel for a communications class at the massage school next Wednesday. This is the first time I'll be doing it for a different teacher, and this teacher was a student not so very long ago! He's a good guy, though.

I wonder if I won Powerball. That'd be a kick. The party would be on me.

People out there in friendslist land: if you could ask for three things right now, what would they be? Don't censor yourself and feel like you have to ask for an end to fighting or world peace. I'm just curious.

Comments

[ashavah]

1. More time to write my assignments.
2. A cure for horrible diseases (not as altruistic as it sounds ... I wouldn't have to worry about cathcing them).
3. To go see Star Wars, like, now.

And the reason I'm not doing the writing challenge is that I'm too busy with school.

Yours,

JK

1. Da perfect job. Which, incidentally does not mean a job where I do no work, LOL!

2. For the hospital in Boston to get the heck back to me.

3. A house in a nice neighborhood.

1. For the upstairs air unit to work
2. For the equivalent of Mary Poppins to take care of my mom while I'm gone to work and a few extra days.
3. For the end of domestic abuse and cruelty to children, women and men. (If you saw that episode of Dr. Phil with the wife who nearly killed her husband, you'll know why I wished for this last one)

I liked the theme of the challenge ~ created lots of threads in my mind. But, hey, I do have a pretty f'ed up mind! :o) Three things... 1) A joy filled and minimally stressful life for my daughter. 2) I wish to be debt free - for at least a year. More would be nice but that might be greedy. 3) I do really wish for world peace.

1. That the description of love in Paul's letter to the Corinthians was an achievable target not just within marriage and relationships, but amongst ALL humanity.

2. That it should be illegal to drive distances of under two miles (people are bone idle and don't give a shit about the environment ... force them I say).

3. That my husband wouldn't fart and snore so much. I need my beauty sleep!


Oh, about the pool-boy going spare ... D'ya mind if he's only a little bit used? Call it shop-soiled!

[mme-publisher.livejournal.com]

1. A Get-out-of-debt free card.

2. Time to myself to write (or even stare into space) without feeling guilty.

3. Have the yard cleaned up enough to be Nicholas-safe.

Glad the kids were good. We tried that newish Thai place next to the lake in Tualatin. Very good. :)

1-A job where I did not have to stand all 40 hours a week

2-The time to work on my original piece of fiction let alone finish my fanfic. The more I write, the more I realize I want to be a writer. As a writer, I wouldn't need to be on my feet for 40 hours a week, but I need to work to pay the bills which means I don't have time to write...paradoxical? Thus the reason I haven't touched the writing challenge this week. Sundays my only day off this week, but I'll try to whip something out tonight.

3-Laundry that does it's self or something along those lines. A maid would be good.

Three wishes

Top on my list is that my toenails would be cured so that I don't have to worry about them getting injured and bleeding easily, and so that I can get health insurance.

2) That I could deal with stress in some other way than with my stomach.

3) That my physical injuries would heal so that I can actually excersize normally again.

Ugh, all health related. How boring.

[atropos87.livejournal.com]

1. To see a dear friend of mine who is a long way away and who won't be back for some time yet.

2. To have the day off tomorrow so I could finish all the things that I promised myself that I would do this weekend. Except I haven't.

3. A copy of the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack, because I've just seen it and the music was wonderful.

Glad the party went well :)

1. The opportunity to travel, whether for pleasure or study.

2. A KEWL pair of Vans (TM) sneakers.

3. A handsome, intelligent, charming "boyfriend" who is switched on and trotted out of his box mainly for display at social gatherings. Referee-heckling abilities a plus.

[luu-alita.livejournal.com]

1. a stress free birthday
2. a laptop
3. for the calender to go straight from June 20 to June 22

Three things...

[siriusstar.livejournal.com]

1. To own the rights to the Zork games so I could write publishable stories in the Zork universe.

2. For Ray Thomas to rejoin the Moody Blues and for me to have front row tickets and good encounters at every show.

3. To have an exciting and well-paying job that I love.

I love the challenge topic! I have another, more cohearant drabble that I will post later.
