And then...

The exam went OK. I'm pretty sure that I've passed, although there was one question (thankfully only worth one mark) where I had to make a complete random guess and hope the marker won't be laughing too hard. Some of the questions were complete bitches and I am so glad that was able to not answer the one on data mining and choose a couple of fun modeling Qs instead in the long questions section of the paper. I couldn't skip anything in short answer questions and they were Not Nice. Although I'm sure that I've made some silly mistakes that will lose me a few marks, I'm reasonably happy with the bulk of what I did. Now I just have to wait until mid-December for my results. Yay.

After the exam, T treated me to dinner at the local (rather excellent) Italian restaurant so the day ended well. I went for a long ramble over the local farm before the exam, which ensured I didn't get restless legs during the exam, and aside from the three hours of non-funness in the middle, it was a good day.

This may be why I'm having a crappy day today *sigh* I spent most of last night and Tuesday night feeling like I had bruises all over my ribs and the only way I could sleep was by propping myself semi-upright with a bunch of pillows. Grrr. Crappy body. Still not feeling too great in the rib/chest area today and I know that it's not a post-cold thing because I didn't have too many breathing problems with it. This is why I'm giving up early after a day of attempting pathetically to make notes for my project report (and failing). The books are closing, the PC is turning off and I'm going to curl up in a chair with a book and a cup of herbal tea. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

::cough:: Those pages are rather well-thumbed now. My copy falls open at those pages *g* They're one of my standard readings when I need cheering up. For me, it's in the bits that I add - ML doesn't expand on the details (damn her), but my imagination supplies enough extra details to compensate, particularly that first image of Stef.


I...erm...actually wrote an extended scene for Stef and Van, simply because the freakin' scene wouldn't get the hell out of my head. ;-p Oh, and I agree, that first image of Stef is lovely, and Van cracks me up that he doesn't *see* how he feels until Stef ambushes him. I love that. The whole thing is so romantic but the lack of sex...well, it didn't need to be explicit but the innuendo method drove me nuts. *g*


Thanks for the link! I'm going to go scour and examine (and look for Lyn at the same time) waiting patiently (or not) for the FB to arrive and tell me whethor or not I failed with my latest attempt at writing...if you can call writing porn *writing*. ;-p

*g* I know that innuendo drives you nuts :-) Maybe I need to rethink my ending to the next Inner Voices story, just to get you yelling...

*g*

Writing porn is definitely writing :-) It takes a special talent to write convincing porn. I'm going to get a bit of writing done and then I may spend a fun afternoon reading delicious porn :-)

You're not *trying* to wind me up. You *are* winding me up. Stop it. Or else. :-p

Woohoo! for the writing. *dreading cringe* for the reading. Gods know I'm bad at femslash, so I have no idea how you'll view that bit. I'm way too het/slash in my writing to do it any damn kind of justice. But if it's at least *OK* then I'll be happy. ;-) I think the slash is alright, tho. There're pieces I'm rather proud of and think I must've been asleep when I wrote them. *bg*

I take it that you've somehow missed my evil nature up until now? :-)

'Insatiable' was definitely fun :-))) And 'Aliens Made Us Do It' took the cliche, ran with it and did something slightly different. Also hot. Haven't had time to read the others, but these are good :-))

Somehow evaded me, yes. ::leers:: Not anymore though. Now, go finish IV 4. Please. ;-)

:-))) I'm glad you liked Insatiable. I'll have to figure out a way to write subtle femslash and drive you up the wall...figuratively speaking, that is. ;-p Your view of the Cliche story is almost exactly what Catspaw said when she betaed. I'm trying not to be puzzled by you both. Someone, somewhere, had to have written a story where Daniel and Jack had to have Alpha Male dominant sex or be killed. Seems like a cliche within a cliche to me. *g* But Chaka and that whole episode was just...well, ripe for the er, taking. ;-p Besides, I've had that fantasy in my head for over two years. I finally wrote it down. ;-)

:-p~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm trying. If I hadn't written such aweful crap the first time around, it would be going much faster *sigh* The rewrite has a lot to fix. Bleh.

I'm trying not to be puzzled by you both.

The thing with this particular cliche is that's not usually Alpha Male dominant sex stuff. Usually their either both nervous and unhappy, only discovering how much they're enjoying it part way through and followed up with much angst, or one of them is trying to hide how much their enjoying it while the other struggles with the amazing discovery that they're loving it, with much angst ensuing. Your version kinda kicked the crap out of those cliches and did something cool and slightly different with the basic cliche. If that makes any sense :-)

And I'm glad you wrote that particular fantasy down :-)

Damn, you're as critical as I am about my own work. I'd tell you to knock it off but you know, pot meet kettle. ;-)

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That's the same sort of turd-inspired horseshit that inspires all that fucked up Wussy!Daniel or Virgin!Wussy Daniel fic, or... fics where Jack is so goddamned repressed, it's amazing that he even knows that he pisses out of his dick--since it's obvious that he doesn't know what else to use it for.


If that makes any sense :-)

It does and thanks *so* much. :-))) As I said, I had that scene in my head for over two years and I finally had a reason to transfer it to paper. :-))) It boggles my mind that no one else would come up with the Alpha Male thing since the *entire* episode is all about Alpha Male displays--Daniel's, Chaka's, Jack's, Teal'c's, the Goa'ulds.
