Well, actually two, but editors be damned, I'll think of it as one :3

More later, I should go back to work.

Summary:

For years and years he has always looked forward: to the end of the day, the end of the mission, the end of his CIA career. To the moment when he could finally be himself, and himself, and himself and no-one else; no more lies to remember, no more reactions to fake. And now that the time has come, he realizes that it also means no more looking forward.

There are posts under the friends-only lock. Most of them are links for my fics (usually posted somewhere else), or conversations about topics I wouldn't like certain someone reading about ... at least, not in my journal. If you'd like to read them, friend me and I'll friend you back =).

So it seems I'm finally ready to learn how to feed my family.

Allow me to explain ...

Cats teach their young to hunt by bringing them small animals and letting them play with these. @, my ~2 Y.O. male cat has been doing this for my ~1 Y.O. female kitty, Toto, usually bringing her lizards and then stepping back while she plays hide-and-seek with the little guys. Being our first cat he learned on his own, which resulted in a few hilarious situations, like the time he caught one of my mother's chickens (not for long, the chicken eventually won).

Well, today he came rushing to me while I was about to get into the house. Toto ran out at the same time I noticed @ was holding a small mouse; she of course noticed too, and pestered him all over the yard. They kept returning to me -- or at least @ did; Toto just followed him around like the world's most persistent paparazzo. Finally I got her back into the house, wondering how I was going to make @ drop the dead little body ... when @ just came to me one more time, delivered his gruesome cargo at my feet, and stepped back.

So of course the mouse was alive (if a bit shocked), and ran away before I realized what was happening. According to the look @ gave me, I think he believes me the world's lousiest hunter.



Wondering whether trying to get a drink is a wise idea.

Yesterday my mother asked, out of nowhere, what our second kitty's name would be in English. Without thinking, my automatic answer was "Nacho". She laughed at it, but eventually my brother and I were able to convince her that yes, that was her name -- and, in fact, that's what she is called after: her names is Totopo, because when little, her most relevant feature was the orange-y, triangular ears. Just like the corn chips used for the cheese nachos ...

And all of a sudden, AO3 started working, at least for me.

I'm a bit freaked out (227 words) by 898700
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Derek Morgan/Spencer Reid
Characters: Spencer Reid
Summary:

A cracky short fill for the next prompt: Derek turns out to be the absolute perfect boyfriend. Little gifts for no reason, rolls with mood swings and bad days, and basically does everything he can to make his partner happy because that's what makes him happy. Spencer is frankly freaked the fuck out by it after they start dating.

Also, rain has been sporadic here. Unexpectedly wet cats are cute :D.

one.
I literally forgot I'd posted a fic yesterday (o_O and also *facepalm*). But surprise reviews are nice! As are the kudos, favorites and subscriptions :D.

two.
I got the free-conference-trip, wohoo! Which means I get to visit Chichen Itza this month (I also do some academic stuff, but Chichen Itza beats everything).

three.
I like this quote: Que ser valiente no salga tan caro, que ser cobarde no valga la pena ~Joaquín Sabina. But local politics still make me sad :(

four.
It is raaaaining again. Which is good, despite the unwelcome wet shoes, because it means the chances for an hurricane hitting here are disminished :D.

five.
I shouldn't find this as funny as I do ...

Epic video is epic.



I like both Peter Hollens and Lindsey Stirling's videos, and this one collaboration has been perfect as background music while I've been working these last days. I haven't played Skyrim so I don't really know what the game is about and where this song comes into play, but the power in the video is awesome ... especially when one knows that all the sounds are produced either by Peter's voice or Lindsay's violin.

*listens to it again*

That's how I feel, totally :| -- I wish I could say I'm sad or depressed or something, but it's more like :|.

Writing fic has been impossible, reading close to impossible. Any fic where 'the boy' is used for an adult Reid has me closing the tab immediately when it only made me frown before. Fics with awkward wording, over used cliches and other bad-ficcy stuff has me rolling my eyes and pushing the back button, which isn't my standard behavior. Good fic has me bookmarking or archiving on ReadItLater, because the ones I've dared read leave me ... meh, I guess I can say.

There is about a week worth of posts I have no desire to look at, three completely downloaded movies in my computer (I finally haz iTunes) I cannot find in myself to watch, monkey ice cream (banana, chocolate and nuts) and lemon pie in my fridge I do not feel like eating. If I send an essay on basically any subject before midnight I'll get a 4-day trip to a conference, all expenses covered. But I Can't Make Myself Care.

This should be bothering me more.

What is this: http://www.800123.info/

Particularly, WHAT IS THIS: http://jerico-cacaw.800123.info/

Is this an approved Livejournal mirror, or what? I am most distressed D:

ETA: That was fast! :D And hour after contacting support the mirror journal has dissapeared, and the main LJ mirror doesn't have the official logo anymore. <3 Support has asked to know how did I discover the site and I told them this -- ( Read more...Collapse )

ETA2: No, wait, it is back D: D: Maybe it was duplicating my newly updated information, and that's why the page didn't charge when I tried to see it? Also: ( Oh the irony, the mirrored version of this postCollapse )

ETA3: There is now a non-official Public Service Announcement.
