I'm having trouble writing today. Nervous about my interview tomorrow. I did get about 5 pages done before my brain decided to shut down mid-sentence. I don't have the attention span to post icons right now, either. So. Pet peeves.

1. "Alright". It's NOT a word! "All right" is two words. This has driven me crazy for years. You don't see people write "alwrong"...it's the same thing.

2. Fanfic writers who turn Vala into a charicature. She is not shallow. She is not amoral. She is interested in other things besides a quick tumble, and she CARES about people. If she was shallow and amoral, Daniel wouldn't think twice about her. At all. And just once I'd like to see a fic where she doesn't burn the meal. Just once. Not that I haven't written "Vala ruins the meal" too...but just once. Someone. Please.

3. "Alot". See #1; replace "alwrong" with "alittle".

4. Five BILLION selective color tutorials on LJ, most of which do exactly the same thing, and almost none of which provide anything other than a list of settings, no explanation of concept whatsover.

5. That is all. Thank you for your attention.

2. Yeah, I really wish someone would write Vala where she's a bit more like her season 10 self instead of always reading what she was in season 9 since most of that season was her putting up screens.

I try to write her better then that and hopefully I suceed but *shrugs*

3. I had an english teacher who spent five minutes explaing to us that alot is not a word and that a lot is a space of property. We should use much or something like that so it's properly used.

lol. I like your English teacher.

I think it's just easier to write Vala as what she pretends to be than who she is. Just gets under my skin. *shrugs*

*goes back to writing Macarena fic*

he was pretty cool. Although sometimes he brought wierd stuff. When we were reading Brave New World, he talked about this recent development where scientists could develop embryos from two eggs. Just kinda creepy.

True.

and yeah! for macarena fic.

I'll be gone most of tomorrow, but the plan is to have the fic done Thursday. So, hopefully I can get it beta'd and posted over the weekend. ;)
