My sweet Sam

I haven’t posted anything personal on here in forever but I still remember posting on LJ in 2006 when we welcomed puppy Sam into our family, so for anyone still around, I wanted to share that yesterday we lost Sam at 13 1/2. She lived an extraordinary life full of adventure and we had 13 1/2 years with her but it still wasn’t enough time. It was unexpected and I’m grieving very deeply. Thankfully we still have her stinky little sister Pippa and in 2018 we added another amazing dog, Ruby, to our family, and they are helping us cope. We were so lucky to have had her and our lives are more empty without her.

Dear Yuletide Writer

Dear Yuletide Writer:

First of all, thank so much for signing up to write any of my fandoms! I am so excited for Yuletide. It is one of my favorite things of the year. I have tried to give prompts and information so hopefully there is something below that strikes your interest, but if not go with your muse and have fun.

While I do list for pairings I like for some fandoms, I would be just as happy with gen. My general likes and dislikes are below and I've added some notes to each fandom. I generally prefer things to level out at R rated, but for some of my prompts below, it can go further if you want. Or if you want to set up and fade to black that works for me as well.

Things I like in fic (not necessarily all together): lightness, humor, wistfulness, silliness, things that are reflective, fun, wacky hijinks, and getting into (and out of) trouble. I am a sucker for a happy ending.

Things I do not really like in fic: violence, animal harm, in story character death (things that deal with canon character death is okay), lots of darkness (a little is okay), non-con, and character bashing.

Yuletide!

Yuletide Letter

Dear Yuletide Writer:

First of all, thank so much for signing up to write any of my fandoms! I am so excited for Yultide. It is one of my favorite things of the year. I have tried to give a lot of prompts and information but go with what you want to write. If you aren't inspired by what I suggest, as the rules go, optional details are optional, and if the story of your heart goes a different way, write it.

While I do list for pairings I like for some fandoms, I would be just as happy with gen, so go where the muse takes you. My general likes and dislikes are below and I've added some notes to each fandom.

Yuletide Noms

I am glad I had time this weekend and remembered - I almost missed them!

I nominated two MTV shows. HA! Faking It and Finding Carter. I am totally hooked on Finding Carter - it's just so good and has Alexis Densiof as the shady father and the girl lead is awesome and there are just some great side characters.

Faking It is just funny. I laugh so hard every time I watch. It actually reminds me a bit of Undressed from when I was in college - did anyone watch that?

I'm looking forward to Yuletide this year. I haven't written in forever.

Day 6 - Yuletide!

I am loving that it is Yuletide Time! It was hard thinking of what to nominate this year because I have so many fun new shows.

Last year I was just getting into Rookie Blue and now I know the awesomeness, so that got nominated, though I am currently torn on which of the four characters I want to request.

I also nominated The Americans, cause seriously fic about Elizabeth and Phillip from the time before they had kids would be AWESOME.

I nominated Gavin & Stacey cause I mainlined that last year and it was so much fun and I've been watching it again, and I nominiated Flashpoint cause it is over and I'm sad, but fic will cheer me up!

I can't wait to decide what to offer and ask for!

Day 5 - Million Second Quiz

I missed the real day 5, and this is day 6, but I really do want to do 30 days, so we are going back.

Is anyone else watching the Million Second Quiz? We are really enjoying it though I'm wishing it was a little shorter than 10 days, but I like the pop culture current events questions. I guess the ratings are pretty awful so I bet this will be the only season of it, but still! I do see how people find it confusing but i do love Ryan Seacrest!

Also, I'm very interested in WWE Night of Champions for some reason ever since I started watching Total Diva's. Ha.

30 Days - Day 3 - 5 TV Things I Am Loving

(1) Rookie Blue - I thought I was Sam/Andy all the way, but then Sam and Nick happened and I don't hate it. I just don't see a good way for them to end it without everything going crazy and you know it has to end because the show is very obvious that Sam and Andy is the SHIP. Also, Oliver is still my favorite character and I wish there was more Noelle and Frank. Also when Gail slept with the SGU guy was awesome. I just really really liked that.

(2) Suits - I do not not know why I didn't start watching this show sooner. It is awesome. You kinda have to ignore the law part, but the rest is awesome and I love the power dynamics. Donna is my favorite character, but Mike and Harvey are cool as well. :-)

(3) Covert Affairs - I was not liking this season as much, but it's grown on me. They finally hook up Annie and Auggie which I never really liked one way or the other and then they did nothing with it. Annoying.. Also, I like Hil Harper.

(4) So You Think You Can Dance - I really enjoyed the show this season. The quality of the dancers was fantastic and I thought they really elevated the choreography to the next level. Awesome.

(5) Total Diva's - I caught a little of this show on SyFy and I love it. I am not a huge non competition reality person but wow do I love the Diva's. I am now following them on instagram. It is awesome. I have watched it all.

30 days of Posting - Day 1

So I am trying this 30 days of posting thing! I read every day, but I have been a very passive user. I am very excited for Yuletide and I'm going to run the John/Cam Thing-a-thon again this year, so that will be fun.

Anyway, I will start tonight with pictures of my Dogs!! (these are from Instagram - I love instagram. Seriously - if you are on instragram let me know. I post lots and lots and lots of pictures of my dogs. Let me know if you want me to send you my username - its tied to my RL, so I'm not posting it here.)

Sam and Pippa - I just love these two so stinking much.

More Dogs! )

I am watching a lot of good TV, but I will save that for tomorrow's post!!
