don't really want to talk about it

[cornerofmadness]

Let's just say watching male coworkers cry is very uncomfortable. So is being asked to write letters of reccomendation for tenured faculty. Yeah,it's that bad. Sigh.

Just realized that in the piddle amount of crap i wrote this week I forgot to put in the major clue i've been building up to. Head desk. Speaking of Riding with Strangers, I REALLY need a couple of first readers who want to read and give me some critiques. It hasn't gotten so much as a peep out of the original fiction filter so that's made me a little nervous (well not TOO much since half my filter was nanoing too). THe deadline for this is in March so I really need to a) get it done and b) get it polished FAST. So if anyone is interested, let me know and I can get the first chunk to you a.s.a.p. Thanks.

got some MeMe's from sp23. These ones never make much sense but they're funny. I have a Maes Hughes theme going on here.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, cornerofmadness sent to me...

Twelve kashicats drumming

Eleven spiderlings piping

Ten ladystarlightsjs a-leaping

Nine sarakats hiking

Eight mjuless a-swimming

Seven giles a-writing

Six mysteries a-spelunking

Five co-o-o-ops

Four x-files

Three forensics

Two maes hughes

...and a science in a hierath.

Get your own Twelve Days:

In 2008, cornerofmadness resolves to...

Find a better goku.
Get back in contact with some old maes hughes.
Take lyrangalia spelunking.
Cut down on my hiking.
Give some cops to charity.
Keep my saiyuki clean.

Get your own New Year's Resolutions:

haha, but i just got back TO hiking. A better Goku sounds like something Sanzo wants and who wants a clean Saiyuki. I like my boys dirty

and as always some dragon for the petting



bred an autumn!

bred another silver. Girl thoughts please

Good luck with the job shopping. Maybe you should think of a career switch? To what, I don't know... but hanging your hat on only one chance.... Sighs. Good luck anyway.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

This IS the career switch. I'm pretty much not trained to do anything outside of medicine besides teach I'm afraid.

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

My point is that you're smart and you should be able to find a job.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. Sadly i have not found that to be the case, too overqualified for most

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

Overqualified is bullshit. It's managerese for "don't want to pay you what you're worth".

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well yes but that's what i run into all the time

the other bullshit is a medical degree isn't a 'real' doctorate and when will ibe getting my phd

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

If there's a way you can get a hard copy to me, I'd love to read/critique your book. Unfortunately, our printer died last year so I can't print it out here. But I would definitely love to help. It's just that sitting at the computer for long periods, esp to read, is pretty uncomfortable (*sigh* my back and hips seem to belong to a much older person...).

And dragonclick :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

watch me use our stuff at work illegally...i'll send it in two bits since only one part is really ready. I'll shove it in with your birthday/holiday giftie (i.e. you give books, you shall get them in return)

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

YAY!! Can't wait :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

now if i only find time to DO anything. I suck

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Hey no rush - But if doing it helps take your mind off other things, all the better.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my main concern is that 'safe' place i put them in and can't remember where it is

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

*snort* That sounds like someone else I know... I looked for my sunglasses for almost 30 mins yesterday before realizing they were on my head

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

sweet

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Clickie on Dragon and I can start reading your story.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i know. it's your christmas gift. surely everyone wants a good story right (quit laughing)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA.

Okay, I've quit laughing now.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no you haven't

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

No, not really, no.

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I can sure give "Riding With Strangers" the old college try! I wouldn't mind a reader for "The Long Way Home," myself (if you have time!) I know it's not a good time of year for anyone's "spare" time (ho ho ho, indeed!).

Clicks! (I'm obsessed, now. Up and in the cave at 5 am, and I STILL can't get an autumn. I'm clicking them the instant they hit the cave and someone is always faster...)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i can send on the fisrt part, trade you for yours.

oh no kidding. HOW do people get three of them?

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

All righty. Mine's only a little over 50K, if you want the whole thing (I actually FINISHED it, unbelievable!).

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

sounds good. I'll probably read it in smaller chunks. I haven't quite finished mine and I've pared it back to about 25K since it can't be any more than 30 and I needed room for the ending. A few other scenes might have to go by the end

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Take your time.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm getting the first 30 odd pages ready right now. I did edit them even partly while in nano (mostly because i can get a good 1000 words onto the bones of my first drafts)

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

I know! Goku's sweet just the way he is. Maybe Sanzo kidnapped Santa and has some sort of vandetta against him? That would be a funny fic. ;D I see a Maes pattern there.

I wouldn't mind reading for you but if you could send it to me after the weekend that would be great.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'll send it out. you can just wait until whenever if i forget myself and send it too early

I think Goku is sweet as is too

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Cool. If you still have my e-mail, just send the text in the message field since I'm still trying to find a decent program to download.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hmmm that will present a problem. I've never heard of not being able to down load . Do you have NO word processing program at all.

i'd have to find smaller chunks to send you

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

I have NONE! Word didn't come with this package and I can't seem to find a decent one.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

open office, not great but free

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I have to look it up. That might have been the one I downloaded before...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it works. i've had it. i didn't like it. It's just very unwieldy to do anything in an email message

[alinejollie.livejournal.com]

Clicked back =3

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

HUGHES! ::loves him::

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he was so great. The big FMA story i've been posting is set after the anime just so i could bring him back from Earth

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks
