"There'll be swan-upping at Downham. Swan-downing at Uppham..."

First and most importantly: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DONUTSWEEPER!

Have a great day, hon. I do have a present for you, but Stuff got in the way of my finishing it. I promise to send it before it becomes a Christmas present ;)

Speaking of which, do I owe anybody anything? I mean, I know I have deadlines coming up for various things, but I have this nagging feeling that I've forgotten to return something to someone. As far as I know, the only beta-work I'm sitting on right now is for apiphile, which doesn't count as work because I'm enjoying myself too much. Oh, and donutsweeper, I know I've got yours too, but that'll have to wait til the weekend, if that's okay (do let me know if it isn't and I'll *make* time - not a problem). I need to print it and go through it by hand, which is definitely my preferred method of editing.

I have things that would probably make a post, but right now, I'm too hungry to put them in a sensible order (I don't get off the enquiry desk for another 40 minutes *gnaws furniture*), so I've just tried to put my list together instead.

One thing I do know is that I need a couple of hand-holders to get my SGA pirate!story done, but I don't know who from my regular beta-group is around/has the time to help. So if you remember 'Port Call' and are able to help me put together a follow-up, I'd much appreciate some people to bounce ideas off.

( It's thrilling as ever, and I plan to keep copying, pasting and updating it, hence the layout. I like tables ;) )

Is this thing on? *taps screen*

Since I'm starting to use my Dreamwidth account a little more, I figured it was worth waving "hi" to people who've subscribed to this journal.

*waves*

My 'circle policy' is about the same as my friending policy on Livejournal, based on the Yes, Prime Minister school of policy making:

"But those are topics on which the government plans to have no policy! Our policy is not to have a policy!"

Mostly over here I'm subscribing to people, granting access to folks who are on my filters over at Livejournal rather than to everyone. I don't plan to lock much stuff over here - LJ's staying my 'personal' journal for now, while DW is mostly for reading - so not 'having access' shouldn't be too much of an issue. Anyway, things are open and subject to change at the moment. As I said in my parallel post over at LJ, I'm a P, and that's just the way we roll.

But just in case you have subscribed and are now thinking who is this woman..., ten things about me:

( Cut for length. See item #4 )

There's other stuff that I should probably warn people about, like my habit of heading up posts with quotes from "Round the Horne" or the way I'll sometimes post eight times in a day if I'm in that kind of mood or my modding habit (2 Big Bangs and counting...), but I figure those are just the kinds of things you get used to. One day, I'm going to do that "I have amnesia! Please tell me who I am!" meme, but knowing my friends' senses of humour, probably only after I've had a stiff drink or two...
