I’m back… again.  But it’ll take a bit of time to work out if everything truly is running normally again.

WARNING: Personal politics ahead...
So the petition against Trump making a state visit now has over 1.5m signatures. For context, the UK has a population of about 52m people who are over the age of fourteen.
This evening, I was off out protesting in Sheffield. For such short notice there were a lot of people, so many we closed the main road in front of the town all. At one point I was out on the edges, when a woman asked me what it was about, since she had just finished work. I told her; so she joined in.
Of all the slogans I heard chanted tonight, “Trump – better out than in!” is probably my favourite. Followed closely by the “Theresa the appeaser!” mentions from the speakers.
Also memorable is the moment when a girl stood up in front of the microphone and declared: “I am a muslim woman! And an activist!” to rapturous applause.
I’ve got to admit, I have (especially in my younger years) participated in many anti-racist and anti-fascist protests, marches and rallies, but this is the first where I felt protest and civic duty really merged together into one.
 

Wow, just pulled off an old copy of my potter fanfic from a backup CD burned in early 2004.  (It’s actually one I was looking for, because I was a wee bit overzealous in subsequent edits.)

Maybe the art of writing is knowing which plot bunnies are better left to the reader’s imagination?

Nightmare for Snape (as headmaster), an entire year being sorted, each student having those bottle green eyes.

Feeling good today, my model rocket went over 10,000 feet.  (A first, for me)

Yay!  The first chapter to my holiday fic’s sequel is finished.  Probably be several weeks untilI post, but at least it’s finished.

One is supposed to stay up *until* midnight for New Years.  Instead, I wake up, my mind’s wired on my story, and I can’t get back to sleep.  Oh well, I don’t have to work tomorrow either, so may as well get some writing in.

Happy New Years everybody

Happy Birthday Sir Isaac Newton!

And a 10 day weekend starts! 

Happy birthday Bronxie!  My friend who is such a great help to me, especially here!

I honestly didn't think I'd be writing here for 2 years straight. I initially was just going to do Lilo's Lesbian Night and that's it. But then I got more ideas for fanfics, and the rest is history. Thanks for all the support guys and happy holidays

Just finished my draft for my holiday fic… now to wait until the weekend to post…  (Well, I also need to think up a summary)

well, I’m sure I told everyone already but here goes. Magus is doing really well and his cancer has actually diminished some. The doctors are saying he has a very good chance to live a normal life span. And where they were talking years before, they’re now talking decades. And yes, we are all just giddy here LOL

Damn, that feeling when I realize that my planned holiday fic isn't going to be a one shot.  I'll have to figure it out, later.

When I think about Trump’s wall, I can’t help thinking about Hadrian’s Wall.

There is no mead in the mead shop. Not a single drop. Not until after Christmas, anyway. In desperation, I walked into the ASDA earlier to ask if they sold it. They’d obviously never heard the word before in their lives, and insisted on pronouncing it as: “Meeeeeed…?” That is what I call a wasted youth, and *waggles finger* it’s a sign of just what has gone wrong with this country since the time of King Arthur.
Let’s make Britain great again. Let’s make mead! We could employ at least… ten people! And thousands and thousands of bees. That will give the bees work to do, and stop them from dying all over the place from worklessness. We have lots of bees, all doing nothing for most of the year. Hiding in their homes with the curtains drawn while the rest of us go out to work in the morning.
We all know China is making cheap mead on the side, flooding the market with it. That was a fantastic day… but anyway! We will install a giant net over the UK, keeping our bees safe, and foreign bees out!

Tip! To make this parody for yourself, mix equal parts Donald Trump and Iain Duncan Smith. Full recipe details can be found on any mainstream news outlet.
 
Oh, but sadly I wasn't kidding about the mead

So, just signed a contract for Loving Sarajevo! I’m pretty excited and really looking forward to the end of 2016 because 2017 is going to be awesome. The tentative release date for Falling for Him is April 2, mark your calendars!

And I just came up with my holiday fic idea…..

After many months of my own battles, i return to this realm…
 

Happy birthday to our very own DemonGoddess061!  Huzzah!!     

Had a relapse on Fallout today, will have to get back on the wagon...later.
