counting the hours  
not 'till Santa comes, cause hey, Pagan here - my celebration was on Tuesday. Nope, I'm counting the hours till I'm not at work anymore...

Why am I here? The place is empty, I'm supposed to be collating usage stats for journals but our server seems to be on a go-slow day today meaning that my requests are timing out constantly, and I'm bored.

I can't even get into the right frame of mind to finish this fic which is annoying me right now, 'cause all this spare time watching status bars crawl to the halfway mark? Not as fun as you'd think.

Plus, Geoshities decided to do something very strange to a picture I uploaded to the Stacks Fic Secret Santa page and I'm nowhere near Photoshop to fix it. On top of that Yahoo Groups are taking hours to deliver messages...

Can I go home yet?

edit I've worked out what the problem with my fic is, it has a potentially happy ending. How did I end up writing something feel-good!?

How did you end up writing something feel-good? Don't know. Maybe 'cause this insane problem I have with not being able to write ANYTHING angsty these days is catching?

*big grin*

Hey Sho!!!

Emmy! Good grief I've missed you these last few weeks!

So the lack of angst is your fault then, huh? We'll have to see what we can do about that then!

I have missed you too ... so, so much! How are you?

And, by the way, Missy is doing her damndest to fix my anti-angst problem. :)

sorry for the interruption to our scheduled broadcast, Sho went off air for an awkward works 'drinks do' there...

Now she's heading home and will chat again in about an hour or so!

Happy Ending? Seriously? You fixed it though, right? *g*

I really am trying to fix it but the only other option seems to be a bloodbath for all the characters and that doesn't seem festive somehow...

*g*

If it helps, it's a bittersweet happy ending. Kinda. Or will be when/if I finish it.

I don't know, bloodbaths could be festive... I mean, blood is red right? And red is a color of Christmas. Oh! And entrails make the best decorations, or so I hear. ;P

Bittersweet works too. =)

LOL! You made me choke on my glass of water there!

*g*

I didn't mean for *you* to join in the bloodbath! =)

ah but where's the fun if I don't join in?

*g*

Dunno, It's quite nice to watch at times.

*grins*


And the Winter solstice was on Tuesday but the Festival of the Sun (from what I can remember) is a three day festival that starts on the day of, or the day after, Winter Solstice.

So we could still be celebrating that.
