one way to beat the sads

is to drabble. I haven't drabbled in fanfic in forever (well at least since Christmas). It's a free for all at fanfic_bakeoff so hit me with a character, a prompt and a fandom. By now you know what I've written or could possibly write (if you know I've seen the anime/manga/tv show/movie but haven't written it yet, you could try). I know you've figured out I do very little slash and probably know which ones I DO slash so if it's a pairing I don't do it'll probably end up gen.

Fandoms off the top of my head - EQ, Star Trek (all of them, and no I don't do Kock) Star Wars, X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel the Series, Fullmetal Alchemist, D. Gray-man, Saiyuki, Fairy Tail, Psycho-pass, Ouran High School Host Club, NCIS, Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, Soul Eater, Fruits Basket, Vassalord and The Big Bang Theory. That should do nicely

Nice day

Hit the farmers' market (a tad late) and I got some beautiful Indigo Rose tomatoes (picture to follow) which are bred to increase healthy flavonoids (bred not GMO). They are so pretty. I'm saving seeds. wish me luck. I got a pint of blackberries that are definitely wild (i.e. hard bits here and there, tart). I got fudge (bad CoM)

I picked up a pizza from a place I've been wanting to since I saw it written up last year. Avalanche Pizza I got the Godzilla. (I DID notice their awards are a decade old. I'll let you know. I haven't eaten it yet.

Also how to know you live RURAL. While at the fancy Krogers (as opposed to MY Krogers) the manager comes over the speaker to tell us they got lambs and goats from the 4 H club at the county faire and will have them butchered up in a day or two...

I went to visit some of the houses. Two I turned around before I got there because my GPS was taking me off the paved road. Nope. I'll wait on a realtor to be sure I'm even in the right spot (since my GPS made me turn around and then get right back on the way I was going...UM??) two my GPS said didn't exist.

So I found this one. It was a cute little white house in Albany. Here have a look:
Downtown (HA!) Albany

Now click the cut to see( how Realtors lie with their cameras )

I wipe the tears of frustration from my face and push on.

I go and find the Stone front house It's kinda cute and hey it's right next door to Albany's tiny-assed library.

( But those realtors are still hiding stuff )

T_T

then I went looking for this one and my GPS said its number doesn't exist. must find this one (I like the purple rooms...save me) I LOVED the street it was one. Real homes. Not shit. And I got the phone number of a new housing development going up. They're probably out of my range but...

my tomatoes -

and you HAVE to see this. I don't even like puppets but this is fantastic. Thanks to ES for pointing it out.

It wasn’t like he planned it this way. Angel knew it could have turned out worse but he wasn’t entirely sure how. L.A. had been sucked into a hell dimension in no small part because of the actions of he and his friends. Someone had to stand against the demons. Angel thought they would have died. Some of them had. He blamed himself. All these souls trapped, including his friends; worse, including his son. Angel wished more than anything Connor had listened to him and run. Still, he was happy not to be alone in this galaxy of lost souls.
