I was going through a box of old notes

A mountain of paper, in fact. I found my nano-novel, in all its badly-written glory. Badly-written, first-person glory, even. Or rather, I found the 120+ pages of "edits to do" that I'd been working on, and re-read the end.

I also found some reviews of season three of Blake's 7 that I don't agree with, anymore (omg, I hated everything, apparently, whereas now I'm just like CALLYDAYNATARRANTVILAVON<3<3<3 about it all). Though, to be fair, Harvest of Kairos still sucks.

I have a fascination with drawing police boxes.

Also with throwing bits of random dialog onto paper and then never remembering what they go to.

Also found two versions of edits for the massive re-write of the Faith thing from season four of Buffy (it includes Cordelia, shifts the timeline, and kills more people; incidentally, this whole thing is canon in Marya DeZorga-verse despite never being published)

And, of course, nine chapters of The Slayer, the Cat and Some Wisdom. It is so so so awful, you know. I can't even. I should really find out if the edits on the chapters ever made it in, then toss them (there's no point in having them around, these days--even if SCW was the first fan fic I ever wrote, because my sisters were gone during the summer gap between Buffy seasons two and three, and I was still reeling from Marvel's evil breaking-up of Pryde and Wisdom. NONE of which is an excuse for the junior-high-school-level plot and writing)

*coughs* I digress.

SCW was also the first fic I ever went "I totally need a beta for this" and then managed to find, like, three and failed to ever utilize them.

One of these days, I will manage to strip the good bits out and re-write the whole.

Randomly, I was watching the Weather Channel last night when the tornado hit St Louis and being very quietly grateful that you were no longer living there.

Agh. Me, too. My parents are south of there and my family's in the area. Sounds like they're ok, just rained on a lot.

I just. I appreciate it so much more now. I'm not sure why--possibly because there is NO SPACE OPERA on tv right now (whyyyy)
