Fic Rec and Meme

[lls_mutant]

Fic rec!!!! aome posted the fic she wrote for me for the Wolfstar Lost Years challenge, called Twenty-six Days. It's exactly what I love in a Lost Years fic- great OC, Remus regaining some hope and some control, and still messed up, but healing a little. It's a great pick-me-up fic without being pure fluff.

It seems like there was more I was going to babble about, but I don't remember. Oh well.

And because I feel like it,

x. Three things you are often complimented for: my hair, my brain, and my laugh
x. You get embarrassed when: people know what I'm really thinking when I don't want them to.
x. Makes you happy: All sorts of things. Hubby, baby, sunshine on fall or spring days, good food, friends, movies, writing...
x. Upsets you: People who refuse to listen and compromise, my husband's company working him 90 hours a week and making him travel constantly, sad news stories, hate, etc.
x. You keep a diary: No.
x. You like to cook: In theory and at a lot of times, but it gets tiresome every day.
x. You have a secret you have not shared with anyone: Yes.
x. You're in love: Absolutely.
x. You set your watch a few minutes ahead: Always. And I still manage to be late.
x. You bite your fingernails: Constantly
x. You believe in love: Yes.

The person that knows the most about you: My mother or my husband
Your most overused phrase on IM: Makes sense, or the emoticons.
The last image/thought you go to sleep with: Nothing. I don't fall asleep well until my mind is blank.
Your best feature: My eyes
Inside joke: Lots of em. My favorite was a lava lamp.
Take a shower everyday: Yes, and sometimes two if I've worked out.
Have a(any) crush(es): Yes. :) Everyone should always have a crush on their partner.
Think you know you've been in love: Absolutely.
Want to get married: Already there.
Have any tattoos/where?: I wanted an angel somewhere, but what part of the human female body doesn't swell when pregnant?
Piercing/where?: Used to have pierced ears, but they've mostly closed. I'm very boring.
Think you're a health freak: I should be. I try to be. I'm not.
Get along with your parents: As much as any daughter gets along with her mother- and probably more than most do! (It's in her contract that she's supposed to drive me nuts.) Get along quite well with mom's husband, too. Dad passed away 14 years ago, but we were very, very close.
Thunderstorms: Absolutely adore.


SIGN: Scorpio. I'm a jealous, vindictive bitch.
NATURAL HAIR COLOR: um, until I was 20 it was blonde. Then it went mouse brown. Now it's mouse brown liberally sprinkled with grey (thus half the reason for my LJ name.)
CURRENT HAIR COLOR: blonde. Usually with hints of red right after I've colored it.
EYE COLOR: blue
BIRTHPLACE: Syracuse, New York

( FAVORITES )
NUMBER: 13, although it always seems a silly question to me.
COLOR: blue
DAY: Friday or Saturday
MONTH: October
FOOD: White chocolate, raspberries (preferably with chocolate), well-prepared steak (medium rare), anything barbequed, fresh corn on the cob, sausage... I like food in general. And McDonald's, which I really shouldn't like.
SEASON: Fall
SPORT: running, tae kwon do
DRINK: non-alcoholic: Coke or (believe it or not) water. Or Mango Madness snapple. Alcoholic: a really good mudslide, Pinot Grigio wine, or Jack Daniels on the rocks.
VEGGIE: Silver Queen corn on the cob.
