did you notice I was gone?

We got power back this morning at 5:00 am after not having it since 5 last night!!!

*CRIES* we had to entertain OURSELVES! What kind of mad, mad world takes the internets away from me??? *sob*

I'm okay now...we found a way to entertain ourselves, but we had to wait until BG passed out...say, was I whining about her moving out? *roxy be rethinking that...*

Did good stuff happen while I was gone? I hope so--I'm ready to share some good stuff!

OMG, Roxy! How did you survive??

*CLINGS*
I KNOW RIGHT? It was like being in the stone age again. I mean, the world, not me personally because I have never been in the stone age no matter what the vicious rumors about me say.

*pet pet* You are very brave.

Heh. I'm the same way without the internet. I'm like, "Let's see, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food, 3 HOURS without the internet!"

Glad you're back.

LOL! I hate to say I'd totally give up a sandwich for a couple of hours of the internet--does that make me an addict? Hmmm....

I'm with [livejournal.com profile] garryowen: the sequence of necessity is air, internet, water, sleep, food.

Glad you're back. Since you've been gone I've attended an AWESOME presentation here at WriterCon on writing fight scenes. It was by [livejournal.com profile] rm, a slip of a woman who practices sword- knife- and fist-fighting, along with a wide variety of other fighting arts. Plus she's an expert in Regency-era fighting and practices, so I got some good ideas for my boxing scenes, and it was basically worth the whole trip just to hear her.

OMG, I'm eating my liver with jealousy!! I'm sure it was fascinating--I love listening to people who are excited about what they know.

You'd have LOVED the session I just go out of: "Affect and the Individual Fan: Genre, Tropes and Repeition in Fan Fiction" by Katherine Busse, one of the luminaries of OTW.

She argues persuasively and etnertainingly for the joy and value of repeating story ideas, and for letting go of some expectation of "originality" in fanfic. I'll do it more justice in a post, but it was AWESOME!

I look forward to your post!

EEP! We lost power the other day for several hours and our family actually had to talk! It was really scary!

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL!!! I know!!! *clings to laptop* Talking--*shudder*

[identity profile] rednihilist.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I *did* miss you! *clings* Never leave us again, I mean it!

I kinda updated my lj. It's just a teeny-weeny Lucas story, but I know how much you like him so. . .

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! *dances all around* lUCAS! I've been trying to figure out how I can write him without being totally self-indulgent but--what the hey!

I noticed you were gone! I FINISHED THE HOOKER FIC and was like "Hey, where's roxy? What does she think?" So...yeah, I noticed. And am glad you're back! It's over here - http://dancinbutterfly.livejournal.com/tag/illicit+exploits+of+an+la+rentboy

Sharing is good :D

AAAAAAAAH! you finished? Woo-hooo! I'll be reading! :)

When I was younger, I used to love when the power went out because we'd play games and stuff. Now... DO NOT take my computer and internet away from me without giving me a choice. I go into serious withdrawal! *clings* I'm so proud of you for surviving. *smooches*

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah--it's kind of sad how it's gone from "ooooo, adventure" to "AAAAAAAAH, torture!!" ;)

OMG And I thought my Christmas was scary without power. o.O

What did you miss...er If I knew what you were interested in I could tell you what you missed.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL!

You know me--wincest, clex...my interests are simple.... ;)

[identity profile] selinamoonfire.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL I haven't seen much of either lately but I don't think my new set of Muses are helping me find that stuff. They're almost as obsessive as Sam and Dean.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
*smile* I know, you're in a completely different place right now. :)

*whistles* you'll be back...*G*

[identity profile] selinamoonfire.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I will. Sam and company won't let me go away. Though I think I'm going to be less focused on the SpN fandom even when the show returns. It's just too scary a place now.

Anyway, I can't let myself get too distracted with other fandoms when I have BB to freak over. Why did I sign up? LOL

Heeeeee!
You're such a pervy old woman.
*smoooches you*

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2009-08-04 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Pervy? Moi? Goodness--since when does a simple game of Monopoly between a husband and wife become perverted?

(I'd tell you, but then, I'd have to kill you...or force you to join in.)

Ha! Well, look at that--you're right!! I *am* a pervey old woman!

*BEAMS*
