I love you, sweetie. You are my partner-in-smut and my friend and the one person out here I know I can really trust, and few things are more important to me than that, as I think you know.

Thank you for being the sweet, funny, honest, intelligent, talented and very dear person you are.

Even when you are high on sugar.

I even love you when you dig holes for yourself, because it is always due to your wonderful enthusiasm, which is so much a part of who you are.

I hope we remain friends for a very, very long time, both in and out of the fandom.

I will even go so far as to say I have become very fond of your evil twin.

Love ... keiliss

First, happy Thanksgiving America - enjoy your day.
Now - to business. I have finally discovered what this journal is for - it is so that I can have a good, solid RANT if I need to.
So let me tell you about my morning.
I had this little idea for my secret santa swap story - just an idea - and thought I should write it down before getting some sleep.
THREE HOURS LATER I am still writing. No conscious thought - my muse must have been dictating it directly into my ear,I was just sitting here typing away and thinking 'this is the best thing I have ever written' etc. Truly, I went back and changed the odd word but otherwise it was all there, the whole thing, exactly right. I don't know when I last enjoyed myself so much either - it felt like flying - it was incredible. That is what it must feel like to be a really, really good writer, everything just FLOWING.
Finally I thought that I should stop, just two more paragraphs and then leave it and come back fresh to finish it. I was just finishing up and trying to work out where I could find a disc to save it on and -
Yes, that's right. The computer ate it!!!
No, I have no idea what happened. One minute it was there, the next it was gone and I was screaming and swearing and being vaguely thankful that my kids weren't around to see the display (or hear the language) I looked everywhere. I even looked in places my IT friend has told me to stay the heck out of. Vanished, self-deleted, three hours of some of the best work I have ever done. This has never happened to me before. I have lost things but I have always, eventually managed to get them back.
So I walked round the place, swore some more, then went back, sat down and proceeded to try and recreate it. It had gone so smoothly I hadn't even had a chance to stop and read it back, but I did my best. Five hours later I had what you could call a pale imitation of the original - lacking a lot of the funny touches and good phrases, but still.....
Added to this, today I am what you could call hormonally unstable, so where I am is not a safe place to be!!
