Mr. Roxy is back, and I slept like a baby! A drunk baby, even! *G* He was exhausted, poor thing. Didn't get in until 2:00. It's nice to have him back. It'll probably take a day or two before he gets on my nerves--let's be for real, ya'll. But good homecomings are good. ;D

I want to write but at the moment, my brain is flat. I started a Cicatrix ficlet, just for me, and I've been slow motion poking at it. I'm thinking about my slave Jensen story, and wondering exactly how Jared went from friends to treating Jensen like a sex toy to feeling bad about it. Not that it's hard to imagine. What's harder to imagine is how a worthless human being develops a spine and a conscience. And speaking of conscience, I just misspelled the hell out of that word and I realize, it's because I mispronounce it. I do that a lot. It's a constant source of surprise to me, when I hear myself talk and realize, oy, I'm saying it wrong!!! But it's a hard habit to break. Or maybe it's more of an accent kind of thing. Like wudder instead of water. I don't know. I strive for a newscaster accent in my dealings with the public, but at home, it's pretty horrible really. Like, if they took 'fuck' away, I'd be practically mute.

Well! *throws up hands* That's all the rambling for today!




Here is a rec for you, one of this year's BBs. I *loved* this story, so much fun to read, with solid, just delicious world building and fabulous characters! It's fantastic science fiction/action fic. This is the movie the Js should be in! :D

Yay! Welcome home, Mr. Roxy!!
*twirls you*

And HA, omg, re: words. When i was a kid, i had school mates ask me if i was from England, because I deliberately did *not* talk like I was from Missouri. My dad's from Massachusetts and my mom St. Louis, so neither of them had that back-country twang, and I didn't want it.

And frankly, the only way i remember how to spell 'conscience' is to pronounce it 'con-science'.

*smooches*

LOL! I know what you mean about not talking like where you're from. When my dad retired in Jersey, I was so aggressive about not picking up that accent. I thought the people sounded *horrible*!! And now I probably sound like I was born here. Yu'got no ideyah.

*gasp* Great tip, beloved!!

Heeee! I have slipped into a 'y'all' every now and again, but I strive to keep it away!!

Yes, i pronounce a number of words 'differently' when trying to spell them, so that i'll get it *right*. It's my own little trick. :)

Yay for Mr. Roxy's return, and your return to slumber!!!!

Yass, lord, thank you for sleep! :D :D

YAAAYY!!! Mr. R is home!!! Glad you got to sleep good. :)

I try my best to pronounce words right, but there's slang that I just can get away with... like youns instead of you and nother instead of other. Local dialects can be fun. :D

omg, I know! I try to sound all newscastery but I hear New Jersey in my voice. Except for random weird words like ya'll and I don't know where that comes from, lol! I guess military dependents tend not to have strong accents because they travel too much--no one I went to school with had one, at least not for long.
