*crashes*

It's weekend.
FINALLY WEEKEND

This has literally been the week from hell. From those of you not in the know, I work in a campus bookstore and of course all the first week of September is always 'bad' as in, hectic beyond words.

This time around, though, it's been worse. I woke up right before last weekend one morning with a stiff neck, sore or rather, painful. I couldn't move much without wincing and I have a very high pain threshold. This morning I finally had time for a physio session. And after the nice lad pummeled my shoulder into a slightly better shape, he told me I should combine some painkillers. I don't normally use painkillers so I had no idea what to combine. His suggestions? Paracetamol combined with ibuprofen three times a day.

I went out and bought painkillers when I got home from work, ate dinner and took the pills. They knocked me out for a few hours, but look!!! I can actually lie down and get back up without crying out in pain ^___^

Other news: I picked the external harddrive up at the post office today. Yay! 500GB -- I've now done half the maintenance on Ianto (the lappie) and it should be running better and better these days -- It means I've cleaned out Jack (the D drive that holds all the dirty bits like porn, downloads etc XD) and I've still got to do the TARDIS (C drive), but that'll take some clear headed work and uninstalling a few programs.

Then there's Old Faithful -- the old desktop computer hooked up to my TV. Let's not even think about that -- it has two harddrives and they're full of weird stuff XD

So... I expect to get a bit more movement out of my neck this weekend. Clean, tidy, maybe even write a bit if the muses agree. And getting drunk with Nicci online tomorrow night.

Now for a bout of painkillers and then bed ^_^

*hugs muchly missed f-list*

Um...

*starts gigglling*

How can you expect me to read a piece of fanfic where the first word in the story is a typo? Too instead of to? And halfway into the next paragraph, she spells bed 'bead' instead...

*would fall off chair laughing if not for the fact that should would be worse for it*

I mean, I can do typos. I do them regularly, though mostly in ordinary LJ entries. That's no excuse for sloppy writing, I know XD -- stories however... Well, I've been known to *gasp* post unbetaed and I'm not fond of doing so, but it happens. Doesn't mean I don't go over it with a fine toothed comb and have other people read through it to see if they can cath the worst mistakes. I do prefer an actual beta, at least for anything beyond porn battle entries. They generally have to get done fast *shrugs*

I just can't focus on a story these days if it's full of errors. I can't do the right thing with semi colons, so I tend to not use them unless a betareader suggests it and gives me a good reason to. I stick to commas instead. I'm a Dane, we use about three times as many commas as the English language, so I'm bound to get it wrong here and there -- at least until the betareader hits me over the head *g*

That said, misspelling too/to, breathe/breath etc... that's just plain sloppy.

I'm gonna regret this...

but...

Nicci and I were talking about bad habits in fanfic. I offered to write a crack-fic.

This is where I'll need your help. I'll write Torchwood Jack/Ianto but I need you to find all the bad stuff you remember from any fanfic.

Example: Eyes like limpid pools

Get the idea? Yeah?

Start commenting. I can't promise when I'll have it done, but the more you feed me? The more cracky it'll be XD
