meant to post this last night, but the wine got the better of me

Trying to clean out my WIP folder. I have in progress:
1 Criminal Minds fic
3 HP fics
7 5 SPN/RPS fics

That means actual paragraphs and such written, not just notes and an outline. That would increase the list considerably.

*waves at spiral notebook with dribbles and drabbles and ideas jotted down*

I have these ideas, but no staying power. Need to finish them. Especially the F/G/H potions incident and the follow-up to the handcuff porn Tabby started. Both are nearly finished, and have been for months.

Related to the coffee drabble: last night at dinner MrIris pointed out that I like my wine like I like my coffee: strong and sharp and bitter. Just because I didn't share his appreciation of the Pascual Toso Reserve we had. It was too much like a pinot noir, too smooth and too light, without the smoky licorice flavor I expect from a malbec. But hey, it was at Mi Luna, my favorite tapas bar, which just opened a new spot in our little 'burb.

*flail*

Tapas and wine and live music and salsa lessons every Wednesday night. It's next door to my favorite sushi bar. Dangerous. I foresee a sharp decrease in the amount of cooking I do on weeknights. :D

This time tomorrow? I will be on my way to Bal'mer. I'll hang out with friends, see family, get sloppy and silly with the people who saw me through four years of chemistry classes, parties on Division St., working the midnight to 8am shift at campus police, and last minute road trips for booty-calls and concerts. Is it stupid to miss them as much as I do? We email, but we only see each other once a year now, and it's just not the same.

I will, of course, have at least six hours of airport/airplane time. If you leave a fandom, pairing, character, and prompt, I'll drabble instead of working on any of the WIPs I just mentioned.

No, you will take one of your projects and work on it some more!

*winks*

*nods*

I needed someone to crack the whip. :)

That potions incident is still in process? Wooo! No hurry, I'm a patient little Irisfangirl...

It is, and it's close to finished. It's just that I hit a Harry Potter fandom apathy roadblock when I was about halfway finished, and then the porn muse abandoned me, and when she returned she was all about the RPS.

Have a great trip!

If you're looking for drabble ideas... there's always the love tool... *snort*

I'm sorry, I just can't get away from that one.

Heh. I'll keep it in mind. :) It'll end up being cracktastic, though.

Have a glorious time!

I am jealous of your tapas bar. Of course, I now live in Seattle. I'm sure I can find something. YAY. Heh.

Ooh, Seattle!

Are you there for a while, or is this a temporary move while you apply to culinary schools?

[identity profile] fleurdeliser.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be here for a while. Sadly, the culinary school thing won't pay my bills, so I'm not sure I'll be able to do that. But, I'm looking forward to getting a job and everything here. :D
