10% of Your LJ Experience

swmbo's Rule of Fic: If you are reading a long, plotty epic with lots of UST, you will finally reach the first kiss/sex/fight/battle/pivotal plot point JUST as the clock tells you that this is the "last possible moment you can leave and make it to work on time"

swmbo's Rule of Cleaning: If you are being good and loading the dishwasher while your second cup of coffee is brewing, you will drop a coffee cup on the ground. And it will shatter. And it will be your favorite coffee cup. (And I'm actually really, really sad about that, because it belonged to my grandmother)

swmbo's Rule of Work AC: If it is unbelievably unseasonable weather outside, so cold that you put on sweatpants and huddle under a blanket on the couch while you are reading your morning fic, the AC at work will be at full blast and even while wearing a jacket inside, you will be shivering

swmbo's Rule of Visitors: You will get sucked into a new fandom with LOTS of unexplored fic to read just when somebody's coming to visit, because life is just that CRUEL and likes you distracted.

swmbo's Rule of Cell Phones: You will lose signal just as the conversation is nearing the end, but right in the middle of a sentence, so that it feels pointless to call back JUST to say goodbye, I'll talk to you Friday, and yet awkward and rude not to.


Hi! How have YOUR last 24 hours been?

On the bright side? Kovsky is back! Fod is back! Now I have just two little lost lambs (aka people on vacation) to track down and then I will have everybody back to me! Until the next group of troublemakers goes off on adventures.

I've had eight cups of coffee today. I am so wired it's probably dangerous to be around me. Which also makes me feel like, well, infodumping my brain and opinions out there. Fortunately, I use a cut tag! If I don't make sense, I'm going to blame the caffeine.

( Random fandom babble (fic related, but not specific fics): )
In unrelated to fic news: Ok, I know that there are some listmakers on my flist. Those of you who get immense satisfaction in writing down what you have to do so that you can cross it off. But there is a such thing as taking it to far. Apparently a local guy robbed six banks in our county in 2002 and 2003, and he was finally sentenced on Monday - when police searched his house, they actually found a ToDo list with the phrase "rob bank" on it.

*facepalms*

That's so...not right.
