So, I've been trying to resist writing BSG fic. And it was annoying because I was working out this morning and came up with an idea- a gen fic where Gaeta and Helo went to high school together, but Helo was a few years older. And Helo was a bit of a MWPP-like jerk and shoved Felix into his locker a few times (because you know Gaeta's been in a locker more than once in his life). And then Helo went off to join up and basically got the crap kicked out of him by the military and grew up, although that wouldn't happen on-screen. And Felix went a few years later and went through tactical with flying colors, and got assigned to Galactica. And BAM! there was Helo, being all nice to the new guy because he doesn't even remember the specifics about the little geek he was shoving into his locker, because he wasn't doing it for personal reasons- just because he was a bit of a jerk when he was a kid. (And Gaeta's also grown about a foot and the like.) And so eventually they become friends, and the whole reason Helo recognizes Dr. Baltar on sight is because Felix NEVER shuts up about him, and then Sharon has to tell Felix that Helo didn't come back, and eventually after Helo makes it back he comes by Felix's lab and "finally" apologizes for shoving Gaeta in his locker, and they both laugh about it because it really isn't important any more and they have truly become friends.

It sounds kind of lame when I write it out, but I think it would be cool.

Anyway, I still like the idea, but have lots of reasons for not wanting to write it. But we began potty training today, and let me tell you, I have no desire to write. Ugh. When Toby peed in his pants for the third time in fifteen minutes... ugh.

I'll be curious to see how this goes, but I suspect it will kill all creative impulses this week. Although I should try to get something written for MRFH.

For you been there done thats: any tips or hints or things you found effective for potty training?
