gateverse_remix!!!! Yes, you could go over there and look for it, but you won't find it. It's screened until the actual reveal date on Sunday. Sunday is my birthday and I won't be around internetly until late, likely, so.
It's fun to post early and all, but without the thrill of feedback or, you know, anyone *reading* the story, I don't know what to do with myself except wonder which story of mine has been remixed. And why. I mean, I picked one story from my author's page (I'm thoroughly familiar with her work) based on incredibly awesome summary and figured out what other story to tell about it.
How did you guys pick your remix story?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway. I'll be thirty on Sunday. I'm quite excited; I love birthdays and I love getting older. I'm still settling into my life here in the most expensive city I've ever lived, though, and I do sort of wish I could get my finances under control before my birthday. Actually, I just wish my finances were under control. It seriously bothers me to be in debt and I want it fixed nowish.
But I'll get it together soon. Maybe even soon enough. Never you mind that the first plan fell through.
In the meantime, I have more cards than I know what to do with at my apartment, presents from good friends and family already opened and loved, and a box from my parents that I'm not allowed to open until Sunday. My labmates completely surprised me with a chocolate cake and the lab next door came by too and there was much laughter and conversation about fireworks and birthdays and wonderful shiny things. I have friends driving up from LA, friends from boating and the house and work coming over for dinner Saturday, plans to be on the water, be wine-tasting and go out to brunch, and the weekend is just packed with good things to anticipate.
And after all of it, I'll come back here Sunday night, that much older and wiser and happier, to find fic from all of you. Great present. Happy weekend! Set off some fireworks for me and my Canada Day/Almost 4th of July birthday!
And in closing: my hair is four shades lighter than it was before I moved to California, and my skin is seven shades darker. My colors are inverting.

Date: 2007-06-30 12:34 am (UTC)blue eyes + dark skin + hair the same color = alien
Someone has probably already written that story, though. I think Iman played an alien in one of the Trek movies with freakishly light eyes and dark skin and clearly, you know, that meant she was *alien*.
Whole new set of issues living here, really. Like, is my conditioner rich enough? Have I applied enough lotion? Have I *reapplied* my sunblock enough times today? When am I going to have time to get all new beauty product colors if my looks keep changing (solution: continue not wearing make-up)? Have I washed my car this week, because omg it's dusty sometimes? Should I be alarmed by how quickly I've become comfortable wandering about in a bikini?
When I wonder if I'm too much of a California girl based on my looks I just remember that I still find all of this a little wierd, and I'm reassured.
