Hey Helen. Long time no see

Hey Helen. Long time no see :) How you been?

Doing ok, but I'm completely

Doing ok, but I'm completely exhausted. Work has been hellish this last week. Twenty hours of overtime, and I have to do it again next week. I'm looking forward to the paycheck though :)

How's things on your side of the pond? I heard on the news that there was an earthquake in southeast England, was that anywhere near you?

Ouch

Ouch, that's a lot of over time, you work really hard :) But yeah, I reckon the pay will make up for it.

I do live in the South East England but didn't even have a clue there was an earthquake, didn't even know we got them. But then again I haven't been watching the news recently, got to depressing cause it always about more and more people dying all the time and you can only take so much of that for a while before you need a break from it.

Looking forward to you being around a bit more and to your next fic, bet you haven't had much of a chance to do much this week huh? I've been so tired recently, haven't been able to get my brain around being creative! Maybe that's a sign I should get some more sleep huh? lol

Just to get us started

So yes, just to get us started, I'll say good evening everyone. :D Well it's evening for me anyway.

Fri, 04/20/2007 - 1:27pm — Psychic_Wonder

Good evening to you too =)

Good evening to you too =) Well, it's technically evening here now too even if it is a couple of days later XD

Have a fun day?

Fri, 04/20/2007 - 2:37pm — lycaness

Hey. Haven't seen you in a

Hey. Haven't seen you in a few days. How you been? :)

Fri, 04/20/2007 - 3:12pm — Psychic_Wonder

Howdy =) I've been good.

Howdy =) I've been good. Been a bit busy trying to juggle college and work hence why I vanished for a few day, both of which are made ten times harder when the bus service goes on strike. How about yourself? Enjoying the good weather we've been having? =)

It has been nice hasn't it

It has been nice hasn't it :) MY little ones have been out in the garden making the most of, cause you never know when it's gonna end!! It's already started getting a little colder at certain times of the day!! But yeah I'm good. Spent the entire day the other day writing a fic, I was nackered at the end of it but I think it turned out ok. :)
How's it been going digging out your fics?

It's been really nice for

It's been really nice for this time of year. Aw, that's cool. It's always nice for the young ones to be outside rather then being stuck indoors. And you do have to make the most of it. Today was much cooler then last week although I have to admit, even though I went to the beach last week, I wasn't brave enough to test the sea. Hee, writing can be very tiring, especially staring at a computer screen. I'm sure it's good and I look forward to reading it. Well, I've searched some notebooks but as of yet haven't found them. I have a feeling they're in my random notebook covered in smarties and I can't remember what I did with it since I used to carry it around in my bag all the time as I doodle, use it for coding etc. I haven't seen it since before Easter when I was drawing in it at lunch at work and I'm just hoping I didn't leave it somewhere else (like on the bus). Because that would suck. Majorly.

Fri, 04/20/2007 - 5:59pm — lycaness

Yes, definitely cooler

Yes, definitely cooler today, but at least we haven't had the heating on, been saving loads on the gas bill. lol.
It is nice for the kids to go out, seeing as I'm slightly agoraphobic they don't get out as much as they should, it's not fair on them really and I fell awful about it. :(
No I wouldn't stick my foot in the sea yet either, but then I don't in the summer either so... :)
I hope it's good, I should be able to post it here, if Jinx says it's OK! Did you manage to get round to reading my fic that I do have posted here? It's called Intoxicated! But this new one isn't based on Sam and Dean, just in their world. It's about my character that I use in the role play world and will be using in Libs RPG when we start it, it's all about how she became a hunter and what hunts she goes on etc, at least it will be, if people like it I was going to do it as a series!
Oh, I hope you haven't lost it, that would be a nightmare :( losing all your ideas and stories. I lost a load of stuff like that when my comp died on me a little while ago. Luckily my dad had a copy of my book so I didn't lose that. *phew*
Hmm, I see a pattern forming here, out post are gonna get longer. lol. :D

Sat, 04/21/2007 - 4:13pm — Psychic_Wonder

Well if the heating isn't

Well if the heating isn't needed then it's a good thing. Saving money is good =) Although it is *supposed* to rain Monday/Tuesday here. Meh. Lol.

Ah, I see. I can see why you feel bad about it. Although if they're enjoying being out in the garden and don't mind then it's good. But don't be too hard on yourself.

I look forward to reading it though and perhaps if it can't be posted, then maybe you'd email it to me =) I did see your other one on the site and I started to read it. I thought it was very good from what I read but because I had to get off of the net I couldn't finish it all. Oo, I like introducing my own characters into a world that exists. Because while borrowing and playing with the ones that exist, I find that sometimes you can do more with your own character as you can create more of a background etc. Is Libs RPG going to be
over here?

I hope I haven't either. Lol. I'm going to search the staffroom at work incase I did leave it there although I did go to London the other week with my boyfriend (we live in different parts of the country) to meet a friend of ours so if it isn't at work I just hope I left it at his house rather then lost it completely. It's handy and very lucky that your dad had a copy of your book, because when you've worked on something for ages its not only frustrating and sad, its also demoralising. Unfortunetely its hard to back up hardcopy notes etc...unless you photocopy them..which would probably cost a fortune.

Lol. Our posts do keep getting longer. Before long they'll be 2,000 word essays =D

Mon, 04/23/2007 - 4:33am — lycaness

Yeah cause the gas is soo

Yeah cause the gas is soo expensive lately!! :(

It's difficult not to hard on myself about it sometimes, especially when the kids get bored and start playing up, it's not their fault they just have cabin fever! It's not fair, they're only children.

Yeah as Helen says it's up in the Character section of the fanfic. I saw your comments on Intoxicated, thanks for taking the time to read it :) It's nice when all your hard work doesn't go to waste and people actually liking it is... well...embarrassing...but nice :)

In the grapevine libs is setting up the background for his RPG, and Felix is the hunt coordinator, if you're interested you should have a chat to either of them! And the rules and guidelines and stuff are going to be posted here under the RPG section. It's all set up but he's just finishing the fine points, should be ready soon :) But you will need the on line RPG program, he can help you with that. Just post something and I'll be sure to make sure he see's it. :)

Fingers crossed (not literally cause it's hard to type like that lol) you find it safe and sound. Let me know how your luck goes in the department?

Oh god, 2000 words? I was never any good at essays. lol

It is *pokes gas companies*

It is *pokes gas companies*

Yeah. I get what you're saying. As you say, they are children and we all know what children can be like.

I saw the notice about it being posted but I admit I went AWOL for a few days so haven't had a chance to read it. It is nice =) It makes you feel good even if it does make you slightly embarrassed. But I did enjoy it very much.

Ah ok. I'll PM Felix I guess yes? Or post something somewhere else? Lol. Because I'd love to get involved because I enjoy RPG. And I have a character and background ready to go.

Well, I struck lucky in the fact I found my introduction *yay for writing that on scrap paper* although I'm missing the rest *boo* so either I keep on searching or try and rewrite it. Could do both...I mean, the book has to turn up sooner or later..unless the notebook monster ate it *ponders*

Hee. 2,000 words isn't a lot..if you..don't count them =D XD

Lyca's story

It's up, or the first part is anyway. Check the main page, or you can go to the Character Stories section under the Fan Fiction link. It's good stuff, Lyca's got a way of pulling you in and getting you hooked. I can't wait for the rest if it, myself. :)

Mon, 04/23/2007 - 4:17am — lycaness

Aw, thanks for the plug

Aw, thanks for the plug there Helen. :) And I'm really glad you liked it :) Ooh, now I'm really embarrassed. *goes to hide face behind cushion to conceal bright red cheeks*
I'm gonna be writing the next part soon, but I have to write some more of the group fic first cause people are gonna start getting impatient soon if I don't produce the next part.
