Leave a ship here that I know, any ship (canon or AU, realized or unrealized, RP), and I will tell you my opinion on:

who is the big spoon/little spoon
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
who uses all the hot water in the morning
what they order from take out
what is the most trivial thing they fight over
who does most of the cleaning
what has a season pass in their DVR
who controls the netflix queue
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working
who steals the blankets
who leaves their stuff around
who remembers to buy the milk
who remembers anniversaries

I would...

1. Put $500k into a medium risk/yield stock/bond thingy - I dunno what... this is why I pay a financial advisor.

2. Pay off my car, my mortgage, student loans etc - probably about $175k.

3. Upgrade my condo for renting - wood floors, overhead light in the bedroom, built in washer/dryer - $20k mostly for the plumbing needed for the washer dryer. Upside - new monthly income after HOA dues etc probably $400 bucks if I rent cheap.

4. Buy a house, my guess for something small in one of the older neighborhoods with decorating as I don't have close to enough furniture for a house $210k.

5. Buy a small hybrid SUV and teardrop camper or a vintage VW CamperVan to go camping with - yes I know I'm a dork - $85k

6. First class trip to somewhere cool. There is this hotel in NYC that is a library... $10k

Most of you won't care, but I have to flail somewhere and Twitter is no longer safe as I would rather The Ash not know how much of a dork his new pet is.

How much of a dork?

I'm literally shaking because Dyson, Hale, AND The Ash are following me. It's ECs fault she pimped me to The Ash as a willing member of his harem and boy howdy am I ever...

*flails* My co-workers must think I've lost my mind.

Its time I think to do this, I do it so rarely I hardly know where to start. On the up side its sort of helped me get my brain straight on all my pups and where they are going. Or not going.

Because tinylegacies did it and I thought.. hey I have an answer to that.

Well, first off how much do I love them? Cause like.. there's love and there's love.

Second, where are we moving? Cause my ass isn't going anywhere where women can't drive, vote, swear, drink or wear a tank top. I love you but I love equality more.

The last few years I've tried to do NANOWRIMO and failed, at least partially because I go into the whole thing with a vague idea cobbled together on October 31st and then realize half way through that I don't have a resolution, or a climax or some other important bit of storytelling.

The is why I write fanfic, its episodic. And a plot is rarely required to do something people will enjoy.

So this year instead of waiting until the eleventh hour and jumping off the 50,000 word cliff on November 1st I'm going to set up a plan of action.

July - Plot Outline: This of course requires an idea, so its not gonna be easy. In theory I could just try to write the novel I've been trying to write for five years but where's the fun in that. So I guess the first question I have to answer is.. what do I want to write? And does anyone care?

August - Character Profiles: I have this problem when creating my own characters that they keep secrets from me. Ironic that I feel like I know characters that other people write and I see on TV or in movies than those I create. But then I don't share much of myself with others so... why should they.

September - Research. Whatever the plot is, or whoever the characters end up being I'm going to need to know something about something.

October - Time to story board, put scenes ideas together and align with the outline/chop into chapters.

November - Write the damn thing.

Simple right?

I liked this one, it made me smile when I read it from propernice so I thought I'd do it myself and pass along the smiling.

Everyone can use a smile.

I walk funny. I always have walked funy, this isn't a new thing. As a child I was a toe-walker, who knows why there have been a number of possible reasons bandied about by family members and doctors the most common being some sort of muscle spasticity (like cerebral palsy) and something called idiopathic toe-walking, which means really that the doctor's don't know why.

Lately, in response I assume to my attempting to do 5 plus miles a day on the treadmill, my feet have been hurting and generally making walking painful. So after a lifetime of walking funny, and being admonished by my parents (and anyone else who knew me) to walk on my flat feet I saw an orthopedist today.

Generally idiopathic toe walking is something you grow out of, I didn't apparently because today the orthodoc informed me that I'm still a toe walker I've just compensated by doing a bunch of weird things with my feet/ankles/knees when I walk.

Apparently I under pronate (put my foot down crooked to lateral edge) and roll up onto my toes funny, which puts stress on my plantar fascia, cocks my ankles weird limiting the shock absorption in my feet and thus causes pain. Additionally I am a 'pounder' (heavy walker) because of the lack of mobility in my ankles (as they are already fully pronated when I touch down) and have a pair of the highest arches the orthodoc said he's seen in a long while. All of this goes back to my life long toe walking in that I am compensating for a tight Achilles tendon.

So now I have these special totally dorky shoes that were specially fitted and I can go back as many times as needed to get them re-fit and a stretching band to do exercises and we'll see if they help.

If in a handful of months time the stretching and shoes don't make things better we'll be discussing a shot of cortical steroid into my foot which I am not into and possibly surgery to lengthen my tendon and casting to keep me stretched until it heals. Also not high on my list.

Yeah.. mostly this was all informational to get to shoe everyone my dorky freaking shoes.
