It is very easy in life to become so insanely interested in something that it consumes one's every waking thought. It is just as easy to suddenly and inexplicably lose that interest and turn back into a normal human.
And thus it has happened to me. I haven't written anything for over a year, haven't updated my website in just as long and haven't even posted on my livejournal for many, many months now. I'm just over it.
So I've taken down my website, removed all but two of my fics from ffn and am retiring into the mist to live a long and happy life.
Perhaps my only regret is that Lunae will forever remain unfinished. Of all the things I contributed to the vast and ever-evolving fandom that was Harry Potter, Lunae was perhaps my favourite. It is with deep regret that Lunae, Solaris and Sidereus will forever be locked in their battle between light and dark, and they will never get the deeply unhappy ending I felt their story deserved.
Thank you to everyone who ever wrote a kind word about my fic, everyone who ever supported me when I was feeling low and most especially to those that, during the heady rush that was pre-book5 fandom, I called a friend. The memories of this I will carry for a lifetime.
But mostly, thanks to JK Rowling, without whom some of my best, most empowering and sincerely treasured memories I would be without.

[LJ Edit: Thank you also to Kay and Armand. You both provided light in a time when I often saw only darkness. Know that you gave me far more than you will probably realise. My inbox is always open to you. And to Gideon; well, you know. Perhaps we'll meet again.]How I'm feeling::  peaceful What's playing?:: Green Day: Time of your life. |

Hi all,
Still alive. Had a great Christmas. Fabulous New Year's Eve (happened to choose a location on the beach with only about 10 other people, and not 20 metres from the surprise fireworks).
And now, I'm heavily in application mode for a new job that will pay double what I'm currently earning for much more interesting work. Selection criteria are on my notebook, application will be emailed on Tuesday and hopefully I'll be in an interview within the next two weeks. *crosses fingers*
Oh, and last night I got drunk, fell over in the shower and broke my toe. OW!!!
And now:
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lixtetrax, are you waiting for me to email, or do you have it?
gideonjones, you still haven't posted about your Christmas... *hints* |

I know, I haven't been around for a while. And I haven't even been anonymously reading my FL either. I've just been...gone.
I really have no idea where I've been except really busy, and I don't see it stopping any time soon.
So, here is what I need to say:
lixtetrax: I am in no way writing Lunae at the moment, but it is now back in place on my vast to-do list.
riverfox: I have read Trilogy 4. I have squealed at the Adriann/Eros! I almost squealed at the thought of Jalen coming back to Earth to show Alex what he has been missing, but then obviously didn't. And I am firmly waiting for the next installment.
gideonjones: Where the hell are you? Answer my emails, dammit!
And on an unrelated subject. I am extremely annoyed with writers that will write a fic but totally fail to label it as Mpreg, so it isn't until you are halfway through that you realise that a very manly character has just got knocked up. I loathe Mpreg, so it was a shame that it was well written and with fair charactisation and only a handful of grammatical errors. I did contine reading for a little bit as the story promised it would be a temporary measure, but then Jack started crying and saying he was going to keep the alien baby, and my poor PocketPC was almost flung against the wall in distaste.
I cannot stress this enough. Mpreg should be a warning the same as Character Death and Non-Con. A lot of people don't like it. Write it by all means, but make sure you FUCKING LABEL IT!

I'm watching JCS while doing some work at home and I've come to an important realisation...
My ideal Christmas present = Jerome Pradon in nothing but the shiny leather pants and the smirk. God. *licks*How I'm feeling::  horny |

You are 36% geek | You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.
Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.
You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!
Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!
You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

List five songs that you are currently rocking the living hell out of. It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artist, and the song in your blog along with your five songs. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to.
1. Holiday - Green Day (This is my current favourite)
2. Mother Love - Queen
3. We are the waiting - Green Day (I have the album, so I'm enjoying them all right now)
4. Handel's Messiah (All of it really, I know if isn't one song...but there you go)
5. O Fortuna from Carmina Burana - Orff.
There. Now...tag five people... lixtetrax, evilwildlex, kay_taylor, alkaloid and briargate.How I'm feeling::  chipper |

Hello all,
Still alive. Still working. Still earning.
Currently up to my eyeballs in Stargate slashiness.
And I miss you all. Terribly. *sighs*
Oh, and in case anyone cares, I read all the people on my flist (although some of the RL entries I skip over) and I don't filter posts (well, I have once, but there was a reason).
So now you know.

Okay. I've now been thoroughly spoiled and am terribly happy on a number of levels.

I hereby notify everyone that I want to be spoiled. A Lot. I have no intention of reading the book, but I desperately want to know the following things at least:
1. Who dies?
2. How Harry leaves the Dursleys?
3. Any word on Canon Remus/Sirius?
4. Any Lucius?
However, if the answer to number one is Remus, I will (in the following order) scream, rain a series of archaic Gypsy-style curses upon JK's sainted head and pass out.
The death of my werewolf will probably make me cease to care completely about HP.
[In other news, still alive, still working and making a fortune at the expense of my actual life.]

Right, I've seen posts from Kay (whom I was most worried about as she lives in London) and Pandora. I don't think there are any other Brits on my FL, but are you all okay?

HAPPY NEW FINANCIAL YEAR!!!!!
*passes out in delirious joy*
In other news, this day marks the start of my annual busy season. As a result, I expect 16 hour work days, six days a week, no free time, long periods of total boredom at work and general lethargy. In return, you should expect from me: longer than average feedback times for fic, no writing, never checking LJ and a general lack of contact. (Yeah, I know, but it will all be worse than normal. *grins*)
There is very little I can do about this, and in the scheme of time allocation, showers are more important than LJ. *nods*
If you need me, email is your best bet.

I'd just like to pop in and rec a couple of things.
Firstly, Halrloprillalar's entire site, which has fic from just about every fandom I could think of, and then some.
And secondly, a couple of her fics in themselves.
Firstly, HP.
I gave my love a cherry. This is listed as Marcus/Oliver, but is actually Marcus/female and Oliver/female with a side of Marcus/Oliver. It is dark, creepy and very, very cold. But wonderful. I loved it.
And a Stargate one, which I think exceeds the HP:
Kobayashi Maru, which is Daniel/Paul. Now that isn't my favourite pairing, but I was intrigued when it was the only SG-1 NC-17 she had. And I wasn't wrong to give in to that instinct. This is an extremely muted fic, and those that know me know how I love that sometimes. The narrative is borderline disinterested and Daniel's portrayal is unusually detached. But all in all, it works splendidly.
And one more fun HP thing that just made me happy:
Seven Things That Didn't Happen On Valentine's Day At Hogwarts, Or Maybe They Did. Amusing Remus/Sirius that included Sirius in a skirt (there is a reason), a very amusing bunch of practical jokes and Remus, which can make up for just about anything.
That is all.

It can take two hours for a whale to die after being hit with a grenade-tipped harpoon that will shred its internal organs but not kill it immediately. If they don't die quickly enough, they are harpooned again and even electrocuted. This is not a humane way to kill, and certainly not necessary.
Japan uses the guise of 'scientific research' to slaughter endangered Minke whales and will expand to Fin and Humpback whales, even though they are yet to produce any of this scientific research and the meat from these whales is being sold to the public.
So...sign the Greenpeace petition:

Go on, you know you want to.

For anyone who is interested, Gideon has finally got around to organising a LiveJournal.
He is gideonjones, which is kinda obvious if you ask me. But considering the alternatives he put forward, it is the lesser of very many evils.
