minxy: Teal'c raises a hand to say "hey". (Default)

Hello? Anyone there?

Um.

*sweeps away the dust*

Hi. Hi guys.

*does not know what to do with self*

My brain, she is all full of the romance of traveling, and maybe, accidentally, hooking up with someone while traveling and under the allure of sexy mosquito netting (what? It's totally romantic!) and... pyramids and sphinxes and stuff.



So, I shall tell you a story, with lovely pictures.



Once, there was a girl. Let's call her Minxy. Or Sue. As someone has pointed out to me that seducing people might possibly fall under the pervue of a Minxy Sue type character. *glares at raqs* It is not my fault that people like me. And have no explanation for why most of my traveling companions were so durned nice to me, either. I was adopted by at least three adult couple types, despite my protests that I do, in fact, have parents, just at home. Anyway, I digress.

Let's pretend Minxy Sue looks like Sam Carter, because I have an image of Sam Carter in my icon there and that gives you a nice mental image of pretty things. I don't actually look anything like her, except that I'm tall, but I want you all to be happy. So.

Let's say Minxy Sue goes on a trip, let's say to Africa.



Let's say, for the sake of argument, that there are amazing sunrises, sunsets, and mosquito netting. Let's say it's marvelous and that Minxy Sue is really happy.



And then, with a very tasteful flashback, let's remember that raqs has taught Minxy Sue how to shake her booty in a hip scarf.



(I'm the one in blue, btw.)

You see where I'm going with this, right?

Right, so let's say there is a man on the trip, about 6 years Minxy Sue's senior. Let's say he's single. Let's say he's doomed. Let's say he looks like Michael Shanks (just 'cause). Let's say he's actually the tour leader and that it's not a good idea to play favorites and it's probably really not a good idea to actually hook up with someone on the tour and let's say they spend huge amounts of time together anyway and then in the last three days spend the nights together too and it's really really good. Like, really.

Yes, let's say that. And let me remind you that this is the kind of thing going on during the day.





Yes. Awesomeness. And that is my contribution to the Minxy Sue lexicon.

Not today, but shortly, I'm going to ask you guys if you read anything good while I was gone. There will be the newsletter to read, but I'll be looking for highlights.

Just... not now. Now I'm still really high from my own stories. Still, I missed y'all, and at the beginning, at least, I was still writing you stories, so one of these days I'll transcribe to computer and send off to beta-land. Promise. Just wanted to check in. Say hi.

I missed you so much! Sounds like you had a wonderful time and I am so jealous. Welcome Home!

Hey! Welcome back! I'm glad you had a good, booty-shaking, heart-stealing time :D

I'm curious - did you go on a G.A.P. tour?

Also? I am jealous of how lovely your pictures are. *has camera envy*

Aww, I'm so happy that Minxy Sue had fun. It looks like an experience she will remember forever.

I can wait to hear more (about the trip - and the man) but will rest easy until then knowing that you are back again. *hugs you tight*

*ahem*

Hi.

Is that a bird on the sphinx's head? Because that somehow makes it more awesome. :)

Great place, isn't it? And the quality of light. And the absolutely dry air. Awesomeness indeed.

(Heh. And I, too, have pictures with my own hand touching the hieroglyphs. 'Cause that's, like, a thing to do, right?)

Glad to see you back. And awaiting those stories, too.

Your trip sounds WONDERFUL! I'm so jealous! I missed you!
OMG, your hand on the hyroglyph is the bestest, coolest pic - you touched history. That giraffe is a cutie too.
And you got to have WMS! Yay!

You're back! YAY!

I will have pictures from Italy, once I, um, get off my butt and write my trip report.

Happy you're safe! And woot on the romantic adventure-having! (I always used to crush on the guides, but nothing ever happened to me. Clearly you are cooler than I!)
