Shades of Greyias

Woke up way too early this morning. Must remind myself to chillax.

So, after spending all week cramming my brain full of formulas, wire gauges, and project management strategies, I'm just about ready to think about something else. So, a meme!

Stolen from mumumugen:

Pick a character that I have written, or that you know I have substantial headcanon about, and ask any five questions about him/her. Be sure to specify whether you would like responses to be OOC (responding as the writer) or IC* (responding as the character).

* Am I the only one who sees the potential for hilarity/tears with this option?

I'll be traveling most of the day, but I'll try to answer any of these this evening when I get back to the homestead.

Stolen from mumumugen, cool numbers and all! :O

DEDICATE A SONG MEME
❶ Name 15 of your LJ Friends. Um... I can't count?
❷ Then put your music playlist on shuffle.
❸ Each random song is dedicated to one of your Friends. (Ex; First song for first friend on list)
❹ Ready? GO!!!

Or maybe this post should be titled Hey, You Survived the Weekend (which Survived the Work Week)... but that would be long, cumbersome, and probably a little confusing. Sadly, Saturday night one small drink with the folks turned into an all-night party. Unfortunately that led to Sunday, where I was actually contemplating my survival of dehydration because I couldn't keep water even down. Oh... I need to start partying with people my age again. It's always much more lethal with my parents. (Also, much more lethal when you combine chardonnay and vodka. I'll save everyone some time: DON'T.)

Sunday morning I woke up with a dry mouth, and that vague dread you have when you realize you're conscious, but in a completely different room than when you were last cognizant. After a leery stretch for the nearest internet enabled device, I discovered that I thankfully passed out before I could grace you all with my lovely, illogical drunken wisdom. It was close, though. I had apparently started a post, but never finished it. For your amusement, here's a snippet:

...um, yeahhh. Thankfully, though, I did not press "Post" at the end of the (even longer) drunken ramblings. Small favors.

We just finished up with the rather large project here at work, so I have a little time to breathe this afternoon before we start on the next big project. I'm thinking, though, that I seriously need to carve out some time of day to work on my writing. I might have to become a morning person, or something, since that appears to be the only time of day where nothing (and no one) can really interfere and distract me.

And... um... meme?

Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.

I have been informed by some not-so-anonymous people (*coughmumumugencough*) that it is mandatory for me to put one of these up this year. *dramatic sigh* So I guess I will. However, it's just a teensy bit close to Christmas, because, uh, the holidays EXPLODED on me? (You were wondering why the Ficmas dried up, weren't you? Really sorry, but it couldn't be avoided. I'm going to try really hard to finish those and have massive postings soon. Gomenasai!) Seeing as it is the 18th of December, I'm really not expecting anything, except maybe for you guys to have a good holiday season. (Yeah, I'm cheesy.)

And before I disappear back into the Holiday Madness Mist again, how's everyone doing this fine holiday season?

From aelfgyfu_mead:

If you saw ME in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for? Answer me, then post to your own journal and see how many crimes you get accused of.

Also, I'm eyeing that team sign-up post over at sga_flashfic and really having to talk myself out of it. Oh, too many fics on the plate already. I can't. I shouldn't. (And I will not write a 5 Things Thanksgiving Fic for the See No Evil 'verse. I will not. I will not.)
