Yay!

FF.net finally has a Someday's Dreamers section!

*dances*

With this turn of developments, I think I'm going to take a short break from ATR and try working on a Someday's Dreamers fic. This might be just the thing I need to pull me out of my writer's blues, because I know I can write a better fic than the two SD stories posted there. I mean, the one that's posted in the actual section is just a series of very dull drabbles, and the one in the Miscellaneous section (written before the section was created) is an okay story, especially considering that it actually manages to pull of a second person narration without sounding completely horrible, but it has some tense problems.

So, now, I just have to figure out a good idea for a story. I suppose I could go back to working on Limitations, the Oyamada-sensei instrospective I started on but never finished, but I want to write a real story -- something with a plot. Right now, I think I have it narrowed to down to two possible ideas, both of them romances, if you can believe it. (But that's okay because neither of them really involve the dreaded "falling in love" part I hate so much because both of them involve at least one person who already is in love.) The first one is a post-series Angela/Inoue fic where they have to say goodbye to each other when Angela finishes her training and has to go back home to England, while the second idea is a story about Milinda finally admitting her feelings to Oyamada-sensei after Yume leaves. I'm leaning more towared the second, since I like Milinda/Oyamada more than Angela/Inoue, but the first one has more potential for angst, so I don't know. I'll have to think about it.   

To end this post, here's a funny joke my mom sent me in an email:

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.

After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."

So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.

He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:

1. Sip the vodka, don't gulp.

2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.

6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior, and the spook.

8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him.

9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.

10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."

11. When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "Take this and eat it, for it is my body." He did not say, "Eat me."

12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry."

13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.

14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
