2005 wish list

1. A Sam/Jack happy ending for Stargate SG-1 - however and whenever they end the fricking show.
2. Inspiration to finish 'Aaelsworld', 'Actaeon', 'No Man's Land', and 'Scars of the Heart' - and a plot for the saint.
3. My novel to be accepted (so I copied from Denise!).
4. Contract work that allows me to take holidays when I want to take holidays.
5. A book contract with a publishing company for an original novel or series of original novels.
6. A visit from at least one overseas friend.
7. A leather jacket (about women's size 10-12)
8. My mum's stupid friends to stop being idiots and ignoring her just because they disapproved of her marriage.
9. A house with a garden that I can keep chickens in.
10.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts;
Everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end:
This is my grown-up Christmas wish.

And finally, spotted around the traps, specifically with sesaworuban and allisnow:
If there is any question you would like to ask me about any one of my fics, then go ahead! What I meant by a particular line, why I chose that characterisation, what I was listening to as I wrote, what crack I was taking and where you can get some ... anything. Anything you might like to know about how I wrote a fic, I shall do my best to answer.

Right, that's my meme-ish-ness gotten out of the way for the next six months. It's back to our regular, depressing programming from here on in!

Oh, and I think Ang's rant found here can be summed up quite ably by Terry Pratchett:

"People should have to pass an exam before they're allowed to have children. Other than the practical, I mean."
~ Susan of Sto Lat, 'Hogfather' ~

ETA: Wow. I actually read all the way through my flist this morning. No filters or nothing. Haven't done that in ages.

9. A house with a garden that I can keep chickens in.

Chickens? But they are soooooo stupid.

Looks at your wish list. Wish I could come to visit. Afraid my overseas visit is only bound for Israel. Australia is on my list and I will visit. (Be scared.)

I agree. Chickens are very stupid. And loud. And ANNOYING! And they wake you up in the morning and get into trouble and get into the house and poop everywhere and harrass the cats and the blind dog and...I'll stop.

LOL. Personal experience there?

Let's just say that I'm glad that I got to change rooms from the back of the house to the front of the house!

Ahhh. :) Not an early riser like the chooks?

If I'm up before 9am, it's either a miracle or a curse. The latter meaning a curse on me for not being able to go back to sleep. I don't sleep very well during the night, and I get my most restful sleep between 8am and 10am...that's the only bit that gets me through the day at the moment. Otherwise I need a nap mid-afternoon!

Chickens may be stupid, but they're also useful for processing household waste. :)

Everyone will come to Australia in 2006. Or is it 2010?
