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.

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. ;)
