the_deep_magicCo-Worker Quote of the Week:
"Seventy-three percent of the words in Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address -- possibly the most famous speech in American history -- are one syllable or less."
Or less. Let that one simmer for a while.
My birthday's on Saturday, and I'm now officially at the point where birthdays stop being so exciting in and of themselves. I mean, I still want the presents and the attention and the cookie cake (GOD how I want the cookie cake), but I don't want to be another year older. Will everyone start bitch-slapping me if I whine that I'm TOO YOUNG to be 26? Most of the time, I pretty much feel like an 8-year-old who somehow got her hands on a driver's license and an (admittedly modest) checking account.
Grrrr, I have GOT to get going on my Trek RPF Exchange fic! Inspiration is a funny thing -- last time, I had the thing pretty much written in my head within two days. Now all I seem to be able to write is completely unrelated crack, which is fun, but does not work at all for the prompt.
