Unh. Still up to my eyeballs in paperwork at work, and still fighting a hellacious cold.

But, I'm pulling in another Faith question.

Then I'm gonna go take more drugs and go right to bed.

Question 2 from bastardsnow

To Faith in Contrite Spirits: Do you ever regret your mother's wish?

( Answer under the cut )

I'm gonna try to do one of these a day. I'm attacking them in no particular order. *wheeeeee*

Question 1 from faith_chaos:

To AU-Faith in Water Hold Me Down (WiP): Do you think you might be happy? And if you don't, why?

( Answer under the cut )

Let me just say that I'm shocked that no one has done this one yet. So I guess I'll be the first in line.

• 
  
• Bold those shows where you've seen every episode.
  
• Italics for those shows where you've seen episodes, and are kind of *meh* about what you saw.
  
• Underlined Italics if you only saw a few episodes and liked what you saw.
  
• Strikeout those shows where you've seen episodes, but didn't like it.
  
• Leave the text as is for shows you haven't seen.
  

Bonus round: List 5 shows you think should've been on the list, but weren't.


( TV Guide's Top 30 Cult Shows )

I don't agree with a few of TV Guide's choices (I mean, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman? Really?), but I'm not sure what surprises me more. The fact that I've at least seen most of the shows listed, or the fact that I haven't seen them all.

Right. Now back to writing after acting like a slug all day. Hey! It was nice out, there was sunshine, I had a book, and there was a river in walking distance. I'm gonna enjoy it before New England's traditional two-week summer arrives and fries us all.

How not surprising that is since, you know, the description below pretty much describes my twist-tastic career path (not to mention the number of places that I've lived in as a result) to a "T."

Dear Mother Nature,

Please be explaining why I have a huuuuuuge allergy-related headache while there's friggin' snow getting dumped on our asses. Snow =/= seasonal allergies. Kthnxbi.

*****

Dear DayLightSavingsTime,

I cannot seem to bring my body clock in sync with you and my brain is starting to hurt from lack of sleep. I hate you, just on general principle.

*****

Dear UncaSam,

Yes, I will attack my tax-related paperwork this weekend. However, I will not be entering the figures into TurboTax quite yet. See, my weekend schedule looks sucktrastic and has since, oh, Monday.

Dear Apartment,

Why can't you clean your own damn self?

Dear GeorgetheAmazingLoveBird,

It's time for you to earn your birdie keep. Clean your own damn cage.

Dear Flist...

Ummm, nothing mean to say to any of you. I swear. I just got this cool meme that I picked up from...somewhere. I forget where.

Here's the Sekrit Rools:

• Go to YouTube
  
• Enter the date of your birth
  
• Pick one to three music videos from the list
  

All I can say is, "Ph34r m3! For my YouTube choices will make you cheer, and then make you cry, and then probably make you go blind."

Here's what I got:

( Cut because I love my FList )

*blinks at FList*

There appears to be an NB estrogen fest on LJ today.

*dies of giggling*

Man, I love you guys.

entrenous88 has NB's tragic taste in hats covered.

crazydiamondsue has NB and his glasses of many colors covered.

zandra_x has shirtless and wifebeaters covered.

The comments are a hoot. The women are coming out in droves to giggle and drool.

Have I mentioned I love you guys? 'Cause I really, really do...

Oh, cool! Gaaked from stitchinlin

Note:

After the day I've had, I can and will kill you all.

Now I'm going to show I'm a sheep. Hunh, I read more of these than I thought.

Gakked from everyone on my FList: The most significant SF/F novels from 1953-2006 according to Time.

Bold the ones you've read, strike-out the ones you hated, italicize those you started but never finished and put an asterisk beside the ones you loved.

According to nwhepcat, today is quote your own fic day. It appears that all of you agree.

I am nothing if not ego-centric enough to follow along. I'm only quoting from finished stories, by the way.

( This way to the quotes... )

Wheee! That was fun! I left out a couple of stories, because no exchanges stood out for me from memory.

If you want to check out what isn't included, here's my LJ memories, and here's what's still on The Pit of Voles.
