brief leave of absence + nanowrimo + writing

[janie_tangerine]

So it looks like the low fever is there just because of the viral infection that made me get it in the first place. Now the infection is gone but the fever is something like a coda to that, but since I've been told it'll go away in two weeks I'm now behaving as I didn't have it at all. It's not like I felt it in the first place during the last three days. Meanwhile...

Yay! I was really hoping to get there before this weekend. Reason? My grandmother turns 80 this Friday so I'm leaving tomorrow night for Sicily and coming back on Saturday night. As long as the internet point is still there I should be able to catch up though, so I shouldn't be totally not around. I'm bringing the laptop also for school stuff, but since I need to be able to do research on the spot I'll lay the novel off until Monday and probably write something else at random. I was thinking either Boone/Alex or Boone/Claire, even if the second is barely an idea while for the first I have a plot so maybe I should go with the first. And I'll also probably spend both nights on the train (since I never get to sleep on trains) to plot my Lost Hohoho assignment, which made me absolutely delighted. And that's all I'll say on the subject until December or so I hope ;)

Also, I finished the first season of Six Feet Under and it was brilliant. Thankfully it didn't end with any cliffhangers of sorts and so I can wait to get the second. But I really loved it. And I guess that's all for now and until I get in the hellhole, which won't probably get benefit from the current weather.

I'm glad the infection is gone, and I hope the fever will disappear really soon too, and more considering you'll be on Sicily. OMG, I'm so jealous, I'm sure it's really pretty in there. Happy bday to your grandma, btw!

51%!!! That's the way to go!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And yeah, happy birthday to her indeed! ;)

Yeah, I hope it disappears soon, too. I mean, I have it but I don't even feel sick, so I guess I just won't mind it.

WOW - go you!!!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

Oh man, isn't the fever down yet? That's nasty. At least the infection is gone, that's good news! :)

Wow, you're doing great on the fic! Congrats!

And Happy Birthday to your grandma! I hope you'll be around, I need someone to squee with over the new SPN epi and you're always my most reliable source for that! :D

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

No, it still isn't but.. I just don't feel it except for the fact that I feel colder than usual. Oh well, it should go away I hope ;)

Thanks! But it's the story. It writes itself. And makes happen things I hadn't planned at all but well, no complaining here ;)

Thanks! Yeah, happy birthday to her ;) and I think I'll just go on Friday morning, download the ep., bring it home, watch it on the laptop and then try to post the reaction on Saturday, but I'll surely try to be around for the squee. I so need to see that!

So glad to hear you're finally feeling a little better. Viral infections can be such a pain in the --- everywhere. Maybe spending some time away will cheer you up and help you get rid of the fever.

Happy birthday to your grandmother and congratulations on your terrific work on your Nano fic!!!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

They're a pain, indeed *sigh* though since I rarely get sick I guess it had to happened once.

Thank you! That story just likes to eat my head. Seriously. ;)

[lenina20.livejournal.com]

YOU ROCK! Really, NANO has nothing on you! You CONQUER! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!

And YAY for BOONE/ALEX! (AWESOME!) AND BOONE/CLAIRE!!!!

I am so busy that I have to quit fic for a while - I'm going to use inspiration to write the assignment and some other gifts I want to make to people.:)

Have fun and good luck with all those writing projects!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thanks! Hee, I'm so owning it. Or better, that story is owning it but I'm so not complaining about just that ;)

I think I'm going with Boone/Alex. Just because I have the plot. But there will be Boone/Claire. And there could also be that Boone/Shannon/Claire you threw at me once if I manage to understand how I'm not supposed to make it disturbing ;) ;)

And I totally get that you have to quit fic. Good luck with the assignment and everything! ♥

Feel better, hon. And enjoy the train ride and visit!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I have no hope for the train ride but I have it for the visit at least ;)

[carrielynne2323.livejournal.com]

I'm just getting over being sick so I totally can relate with how you're feeling. I really hope you get better soon!

Have fun celebrating your Grandma's birthday -- 80 yrs old! How awesome!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

I hope too! God, that sucks. The weird part is that I don't even feel sick anymore even if I'm going around with a fever but whatever, I guess I'll worry if in two weeks it isn't gone and just don't care for now ;)

Thank you, I'm sure I will! And hee, she's awesome indeed ;)

Happy Birthday Grandmother Tangerine! I hope you have a nice trip to Sicily. Thank goodness they figured out your fever. Hopefully it will be gone soon.

Congrats on the amazing nano record! You deserve a mini Boone ficlet in the meantime. I'd be interested in either Claire or Alex.

I’ve only ever seen a few episodes of SFU ages ago when I was staying with a friend who had HBO. We just got HBO in Canada and they are showing a lot of older shows. I'll be sure to keep my eye out for it.

Have a great trip!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Keep an eye out for SFU! That first season was some great stuff and it's quite generous with the eye-candy, too ;)

Yeah, I'm really glad they had the fever figured out. At least because I was going crazy being stuck for a week without feeling sick ;) if things go as they usual go here the trip itself won't be a nice ride but I'm really looking forward to getting there for once.

Thank you! That story makes me write weird things, but I'm liking the way it's going. Even though I'll be more than happy to go back on Boone this weekend since I already had him in the nano novel and I don't think I'll manage to have him in there again before it's over. I think I'll go with Alex because I have an actual plot for it, but I'll do Claire too eventually.

yay for getting so much of Nano done! I'm working on my HoHoHo prompt right now too!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

And today I managed some more ;) thanks! And I kind of am right now. Researching for it, I mean. I love my prompt!
