Just a quick note to God, or the Fates, or Whatever Else might be Out There:
If
ANYONE had
EVER mentioned
SCIENCE FAIR PROJECTS to me, lo, these many years ago,
I WOULD HAVE REMAINED CHILDLESS!
also, there is not enough Ativan on the freakin' planet.
That is all.

And now back to current events. I vaguely remember having to do a science fair project in middle school. I know it involved a plant, but I don't remember much else. I remember the plant survived for years after the project was over. I remember my mother eventually made watering the plants one of my responsibilities because I was the only one who could keep them alive and make them grow. Who knew?
But, um, yeah -- that's probably the only reason I remember the project at all. The only thing my mother helped me with was taking me to Home Depot (at least I think it was Home Depot) to buy the plant. The project was mine and mine alone. *shrugs because I've got nothin' else in my memory bank at the moment*
*happily childless and plans to remain that way forevermore*

yup; that's what i said, too--right up until i was forty-two years old.....
btw--that new thing you pity-reviewed at the Pit? one hundred fifty-seven hits in the less than three hours it's been up. number of reviews, including yours? two. two. but three people who didn't review did like it enough to favorite it. of course, i also have a story there with a grand total of thirteen reviews--yet it's in five C2s. yup, just gotta love that place.... only reason i even post there anymore is so i'll have all my stuff archived in two places, for when The Inevitable Big Crash happens here on the ever-reliable LJ [which just three minutes ago delivered to me all of your recent comment notifications in a great big bunch].

And just so you know, this new oner I'm finally working on is rather a lot lighter than the others in the canon-replacement-series-without-a-name.
Chase did end up buying that coffin-shaped cookie, it seems...
And just remember what I have kept in mind my entire acquaintance with
I just got a review yesterday saying that I was responsible for the best House/Harry Potter crossover they'd ever come across. It's little gems like that that make me think that not everyone at the Pit is a loss. It was written in proper English and everything! I couldn't have been happier!

i've no idea what you're talking about, sweetie--and please, keep it that way; my brain thanks you in advance.
i'm so glad someone at the Pit showed proper appreciation for your work; you deserve each word of praise you get.
[and the only way i knew this comment even existed was by checking my lj inbox, as the notifications are--again--not arriving. sigh.]

Hm. I'm getting my comment notifications. Earlier, though, I wasn't able to load pages. I think they're having server trouble at the new place in Montana. Oh, hey -- question -- does the new Profile give you migraines like it does me?
*resists urge to go off on tangent yet again*
no subject
no, the profile page doesn't give me migraines, but i very rarely go to the profile page. i am, however, suffering a migraine even as i type this. mine seem to mostly be triggered by over-the-top stress, or by too much/too little sleep. nausea also occasionally triggers one. so i've been having several a week, lately.
