So, I was flipping through Falling in Love With a Girl as I sometimes do to refresh my memory, and I cleaned up a couple awkward sentences because I do that too, (in case you read it 10x, you’re not crazy, it does change a bit :)) and I suddenly (somewhat irritatingly) got a couple random ideas for a couple of new scenes in the early chapters.  But not like whole new offshoot stories like I usually do, these are just scenes that I think would add something to pre-existing chapters.  Things that would flesh out their relationship, because these early chapters were kind of short, cookie cutter pieces.  One each to match up to a canon episode.  But looking back, I can see more now to what was happening. 

But, NOT wanting to get dragged down writing new scenes in a story that is VERY much done, but also knowing my muse doesn’t like to be ignored, I’m looking for your assistance.  I figured if I write one of the scenes, get it out of my head, I can move back to focusing on regularly scheduled programing only.  Right now these ideas are kind of a distracting jumble in my head.

So, if you care in the slightest, a little feedback would be appreciated :)

My ideas for extra scenes are in chapters 10 (Acrimony), and 31 (Grace Kelly Takes A Bow).

Any preferences?

Just saw a fic posted on the Doctor Who forum with a disclaimer in the description: “NO FLAMERS!” 

In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Did you ever take your glasses off in the middle of the night, forget where you put them, fumble blindly around your home for a half an hour, and then remember that you have contacts that would probably aid you in your search for your glasses?

Yeah, I haven’t either.

It is HILARIOUS how genuinely upset a decent portion of the internet is that Matt Smith is carrying the Olympic torch, and not David Tennant.  For those of you who do not watch Doctor Who, it is canon that Tennant’s Doctor carried the torch for part of the 2012 games.  So there was a campaign to get the actor to do it in real life, but The Powers That Be, picked the current doctor instead.  Oh well.

But Internet, seriously, it’s FUCKING TV show!  Get a grip!  It’s fun that a Doctor, is actually carrying the torch. It’s cute.  Enjoy it for it is.  Cool.

Some people’s ability to REFUSE to enjoy the stupid little silly stuff in life, (which is really, some days, all you have as a break from the actual horrors that are going on in other parts of the world) truly is mind boggling. 

This is such a good idea.  And especially encouraging given that language classes are usually second to go after art & music.  It would be nice to see another school try Mandarin.  In ten years people might finally understand how foolish it was to cut second language classes when pretty much every other developed (and developing), country considers them a priority. 

On a side note, it does kind of make me sad for this generation that art and music have been slashed from so many curricula.  I’m not particularly artistic or musical, (I was backup in chorus and my ‘instrument’ was The Triangle - *ping*) but my memories of those classes through my first eight years in school are very vivid.  Probably especially because I had no talent in those areas, those classes did help broaden my knowledge, and my world, in a way that it never would have otherwise.

Just started thundering & Stevo jumped off the back of the couch to run hide behind the toilet. I hope if I ever have a human child, he demonstrates the same level of emergency preparedness skills in a potential weather emergency.
