Or something. The title of the post is just what popped into my head while trying to think up a title. <\/p>\n<p>It hasn&#8217;t been a crazy night or anything. The kidlet and I spent some time working on a couple of xmas pressies for a couple of rellies. This involved splaying ourselves on the floor and getting up close and personal with a dust bunny or two. I really need a new hoover. <\/p>\n<p>We watched last week&#8217;s Bones beforehand though &#8211; nothing gets you into the Christmas spirit like a dead Santa. But man, is it me or is David Boreanaz just getting hotter? *fans self* Want.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s our evening: Some Bones, some drooling on my part, and nicks and blood from cutting stuff for presents. Now the kid is practicing her bellydancing and I&#8217;m a-blogging. Soon I will be writing. Still quite addicted to <a href=\"http:\/\/ficlets.com\/authors\/melia\">Ficlets.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>I was looking at some other ficleteers around there and they occasionally throw out challenges to the others. Those are fun to do &#8211; well, except the last one I did. The challenge was to write something &#8211; in descriptive detail &#8211; autobiographical. So I intended to either talk about the time we moved to England, or else how horrible junior high was. What I ended up writing about was the day Mom died. I have no idea why. I never talk about that day, or think about it if I can help it. I cant explain why I chose to write about it and put it out there, but I did so there you go. My subconscious must be trying to tell me something. <\/p>\n<p>But aside from that, I like the challenges. Another one was to write the ficlet in nothing but dialogue and include a shocking twist of some kind. Mine didn&#8217;t come out right but I liked it anyway. Then there was the vampire challenge &#8211; now THAT was fun \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I think tonight I&#8217;m going to pick a picture out of their stock images and write something for it. <\/p>\n<p>And then I&#8217;m going to bed because I feel weird. Really tired and a little nauseous for some reason. I&#8217;d go to bed now but it&#8217;s not even 9pm. I&#8217;d be up at 3am. Ugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late December back in &#8217;63. Or something. The title of the post is just what popped into my head while trying to think up a title.
