Holidays and food!

[starrylizard]

Yay, holidays tomorrow! My bus leaves in the early afternoon, but I still have to clean my house, wrap some more gifts, pack a suitcase, contact the neighbours... hmm. I'll get there I'm sure.

Yesterday was food, food and more food. We have a tradition of secret santa at our lab, in which santa gives clues to the recipient as to where their present is hidden in the lab. There were some dooseys of clues this year and much hilarity and amusing frustration, followed by lunch at the local club. Then we came back to the lab for champaign and unwrapped our gifts and explained how we found them. Then, because I hadn't already eaten enough, I was invited to my supervisor's place for dinner. It was lovely and man have his kids got big. His youngest is just gorgeous - all big smiles and bright blue eyes. (NO, I'm not clucky! *covers ears and sings*)

For some reason I have the urge to write a short McKay/Teyla or a McKay/Weir piece. Anyone feel like giving me a prompt? I'll promise to contemplate it on the 12 or so hours of travelling I'll be doing over the next two days. I seem to mostly write angst these days.

I should also have a go at writing some original fiction and maybe I can still get one in for the uni thing. I doubt my thesis is going to be written at all while I'm away, though I'm bringing my laptop and a copy of my papers file and introduction chapter. Something might get done.

Oh and wander over to newkidfan's lj. She's making an SGA quotes moodtheme, and is after suggestions. Looks like it'll be great fun, so go and share your fave SGA quote and the mood you think it might fit with. :)

Happy Holidays all!!

P.S. Thanks to nightfreya and reedfem for the ecards! Very funny guys. They made me giggle. :)

I can give you a Rodney/Teyla prompt, sure. :) *currently writing Rodney/Ronon* How 'bout Rodney with an allergic reaction and no epinephrine left and Teyla's the only one around to help him?

Hee! Cute icon!
Rodney/Ronon. That can be quite cute I think (though most of the stuff I've read ends up in the bondage/smut category, so not so much with the cute.) I'll look out for it.

Thanks. Hmm. I'm not a big fan of the allergy thing, because it's been done so many times before and probably to much better effect than I could manage, but I'll think about it.

I think I might actually like to make Rodney the hero helping Teyla somehow. Just not sure how...

Have a happy holiday season. :)

Thanks! Gotta love Sedgie. ^_^

Yeah, it could be. The one I'm writing is slightly on the smutty side, but really more of a PG-13... Thanks. I'm struggling with it, damn muse won't cooperate, but it's for sg_rarepairings.

*shrugs* More in slash than in het, but there isn't nearly enough Rodney/Teyla fic out there.

You too!

Having just seen Return Pt 1, how about Rodney's thoughts on why Elizabeth isn't returning his phonecalls?

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

ooh, could work. *nods*

*claps excitedly*

Hope the journey goes/has gone well.

Have a safe trip. :)

McKay/Teyla prompt: Assuming you've seen The Tao of Rodney, what did they talk about during (or after) the memorial tea ceremony?

Hmmm. SHall think about it. :)
