here i am

Today being the day that my church celebrates the Feast of St. Pancake, I came home from school (a lovely day filled with midterms and quizzes) and headed right to church, after stopping to put on my dancin' shoes and some of my grandmother's jewelery.

I ended up getting there very late, but that was okay, because we had Game Night right after, and I had great fun, but four hours straight might have been a bit much. So I ate pancakes, and played blocks and Candyland and puzzles with my little Sunday school kids and their families. (They also brought Hungry Hungry Hippos, but I didn't get a chance to play. Man is that game loud! The little one loves it, so his mother is trying to get him to agree to send it to Daddy in Iraq, so that Daddy and his friends in the National Guard can play instead. :D I hope she convinces him, I just love the image it brings up.)

Then it was bedtime for the little ones, so I played my first game of chess in *years* (and lost), and then us few remaining 'youth' (aka under-30s) pulled out the set of Quiddler cards we gave Mom for Christmas. That game, however, quickly degenerated into 'find a word in the dictionary that [livejournal.com profile] melannen doesn't know', which quickly degenerated, of course, into 'find the dirty words in the dictionary'. (What? It was fascinating, especially since the dictionary didn't *have* any dirty words - the entry under 'sex' didn't even *mention* the act of intercourse. And the book was only thirty years old, too.)

For Lent, I have decided to give up reading lj and fanfic during my classes. I plan to put a daily update on my lj as to how well I'm keeping it up, too. (I know, I know - baby steps, okay?)

ETA: MY GOD! Alan is *canonically* in love with Denny; I'm starting to actually suspect that they're planning to take this beyond (really, really freaking heavy) subtext. Which is just *wrong*, because it's old, fat William Shatner. And Daniel Jackson.

John has not yet proposed to Rodney on national television!

..srsly. dwd. And Alan called it a 'Freudian slip', which means he's perfectly aware of what's going on. man.

See, now I'm really wishing I knew BL canon/the law well enough to write a Boston Legal gay marriage story. Or, you know, to have BL do a gay marriage story; it would be right up their alley, assuming they haven't already - it wouldn't even have to(start out being) Alan and Denny who're affianced; it could just be a case Alan was handling, but ooh, the places he'd go with that...

Also, I am getting scary-fond of Odo lately. (I was already fond of Murphy Brown. Did you know that she dated John Sheppard (http://corinna-5.livejournal.com/140706.html) once? That is, if you're incapable of keeping actors and roles separate, they had a torrid affair.)
