Unfeathered Notes

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of Icon Squee!

Comment and I'll pick one (unless you want more) of your fandoms, post the answers to your journal and so on and so forth.

I *like* this one!





In other news, not only am I RPing again, but I am writing again! I wrote almost 500 words of the Jack/Giles post-CoE fic today at work, and I think the end is finallly in sight. And I have a way to end it, which was troubling me. Probably going to be a while before I have a first draft finished enough for betaing, but it feels fantastic to have made progress on it! :-)

I am feeling very yukky with cold (though still fortunately no fever) so god knows how well I do with this, but I'm game for a laugh! *g*

Snagged off karaokegal:

A) Go to my fics (fandom tagged accordingly), and pick out a line or three from one of my stories. (Must be a full line, please — no sentence fragments or speech tags or other such nonsense.)

B) I will respond with which story of mine I think it's from.

C) A drabble (ficlet) to anyone who stumps me.

Nicked off morgynleri:

Which Torchwood Character Are You? Your Result: Gwen Cooper   You most resemble the team's second-in-command and ex-police officer. Empathetic and stubborn, you tend to grab the bull by its horns and have difficulty admitting when you're wrong, though you always mean well. You are inconsistent in your relationships, wanting stability but also craving drama, and sometimes end up putting yourself first.

Kind of what I expected. Gwen. And actually, the description's not that inaccurate. *g*

Nicked off chatona:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four to seven sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest [unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1].

Remove the skin from the peppers and blot dry with absorbent kitchen paper.

2. Place 1 red pepper in a foodprocessor or blender and pulse until roughly chopped. Transfer to a bowl, add the cheese and mix well. Season to taste.

3. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthways slit in each chicken breast and spoon in a little of the cheese mixture. Wrap 2 slices of ham around each chicken breast and enclose in foil parcel. Cook at 190 degrees C for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.

Sure enough, it's a recipe, though the book isn't just a cook book; it's the Reader's Digest Food for Your Body book - it's my Mum's and nearby because I've been looking up good foods for stress/depression. This is, ironically, from the section on boosting your immune system, which I was looking at just a minute ago! And the recipe looks nice. I might have to make that...

Post the first line from your 25 most recent fanfics and try to find a pattern.

There are a couple of these where the first sentence was literally only one or two words, so I've included a bit more for context.
