Today started out kinda crappy, but ended up much better.

Stopped by auditions at the studio tonight, and got to hang out with cool theater peeps.

Saw L's pictures from Dragon*Con (the official ones) ... including some of the most ADORABLE pix of James Marsters giving her huggins. He (well, both of them really) were just as cute as cute buttons!!!! 

Then helped out with the readings. That's always fun. It's like auditioning only w/o any pressure.

Then went out with Director Cee and the other L for pizza and chat. So odd for me to spend time with other women. Lovely.

My cat wasn't best pleased when I came home four hours late... but he'll get over it!!

5 words.

[info]verasteine posted recently: Reply to this post by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

Been lacking words lately, so I jumped at the chance to have someone tell me what to talk about!

Here are the five words she gave me. And my thoughts, random as they are.

1 -- Jack/Ianto

This was the hardest of the words to find the words for ... there are too many words to choose from. Have a little piece of unfinished fiction:

Pillow talk with Jack was pretty much like any other talk with Jack, just with fewer clothes. There were the same proportion of "Did I ever tell you about the time..." conversations. Mostly, Ianto was content to let Jack ramble on, but sometimes he liked to get his own back.
 
 
So when Jack started with "There was this one time when..." Ianto interrupted him.
 
 
"Owen and I went Weevil Hunting one night while you were gone."
 
 
Jack rolled onto his side, propped his head up on one hand, and ran his other hand up Ianto's neck.
 
 
"Really? Was that Weevil Hunting, or WEEVIL Hunting?"
 
 
Ianto rolled onto his back, and put his hands behind his head.
 
 
"And then we had a fight about it. Well, to be fair he was pretty drunk at the time."
 
 
"Ianto?"
 
 
"Yes, Jack?"
 
 
"Did I ever tell you about the time..."
 
 
"Jack?"
 
 
"Yes, Ianto?"
 
 
"Just shut up and kiss me."
 
 
"I thought you'd never ask."
 
 
And there was no more need for words at all.

 


2 -- books

While the books on my shelves at home are more or less organized in a systematic manner, my very first exposure to books was at a public library in an old house. The books just sort of went everywhere, and I remember piles and piles of them on the floor. Now I was about three years old at the time, so I don’t know how accurate my memory is, but I remember really liking sifting through piles of books to find ones that interested me. I’m still like that I think. I like finding piles of randomness and seeking for the interesting bits within.

I am often amused when I am at the local antiques mart downtown (which is just a bunch of random displays of bunches of random stuff) by the people who become completely overwhelmed by all the chaos. You have to understand the chaos in order to see the order beneath it…

I just wish I knew whether I was a chaotic person seeking order, or an orderly person obsessed by chaos…

3 -- United States

There are 50 United States. I have been in 16 of them. I would like to travel across the country sometime. To have the time to just get in the car and start driving. Wanderlust. I haz it.

4 -- jury duty

random related facts -- Our little town is the county seat. In the middle of our town is the county courthouse. This is where I had jury duty some months ago.

Every Christmas our town has a Victorian Christmas celebration. In years past my pals and I would enter the annual Gingerbread House contest. Sometime I'll show you our other creations. We took the blue ribbon in the group category four years running.

It's probably cheating to include pictures in a post that's supposed to be about words, but I never got to rebel as a teen, so cut me some slack. 'Sides... they're cool pictures. :0)
 

clicky for the piccy... )

 

5 – noodles

I love noodles. Noodles of all kinds. Pasta noodles. Chinese noodles. (I could live on Lo Mein) (If there’s not too much celery in it). But more than that I love words with multiple meanings. According to this American Heritage Dictionary I have on my desk, noodle has three meanings:

Noodle1: a narrow ribbonlike strip of dried dough usu. made of flour, eggs, and water. [Ger. Nudel]

Noodle2: 1) the human head. 2) one that is weak, foolish, or stupid.

Noodle3: to improvise music on an instrument idly and haphazardly.

I like to eat noodle1. I often feel like noodle2:2. And if you use noodle3 as a metaphor for writing, then I often perform noodle3 as I journal (or indeed write anything, especially first drafts).

Noodles for EVERYONE!!! Put some noodles in your noggin. BRAIN FOOD!
