weekend recap and fic update

[therumjournals]

Back from a wonderful anniversary weekend! We went down to St. Michael's, MD and stayed at an awesome bed & breakfast there. Spent some quality time the first day at the Brewery, where we met another couple from the DC area. We ended up meeting up with them again the next night and drinking with them for hours - yay new (drunk) friends! ;-) We also demolished a dozen crabs between the two of us for dinner on Saturday night.

On Sunday we went kayaking for most of the day. Drank prosecco and white wine in the kayak because we are classy like that. Watched a bald eagle flying right above us. Swam around in the bay until we both got lightly stung by jellyfish (we knew they were in the bay but they're not dangerous. The stings didn't hurt much at all, and it was kind of a bonding experience since we both got to learn what it felt like!) Watched some redneck karaoke and ate crab and shrimp in like every style possible.

Then today we did a wine tasting and walked around and went to the harbor to look for Johnny Depp's yacht (not really - he's in Hawaii filming PoTC 4 - but supposedly a lot of celebs come to that area and his yacht has been seen there, along with a bunch of other famous peoples').

Now I'm back home snuggling my dog (dog-free vacation was LOVELY...but at the same time we're already planning to bring her with next time...sigh).

FIC UPDATE:
- EPIC PINTO IS FINISHED. Hoping to post later this week all in one go. CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULES!!
- reeltrek fic is in the works!
- Coffee Fix - I got a little distracted last week, but I do have two more installments planned. I've started the first one, just have to sit down and make myself finish it and not get distracted by shiny new plotbunnies.
- rpf_big_bang fic is stalled out at 7,000 words. I need to punch it in the face to get it going again.
- Fuck you all for making me consider a Trekkies In Love sequel. And by "consider" I mean "start writing." See above note re: shiny new plotbunnies. I would be mad at my brain if I weren't so excited.

MD blue crabs are AMAZING. I grew up on the Chesapeake, and therefore grew up on crabs. Delicious.

I'm looking forward to this epic pinto - AND THIS POSSIBLE TREKKIES IN LOVE SEQUEL. OMG I WOULD DIE.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

DON'T DIE! ;-)

btw, when you get back from Shore Leave, we need to have another meet up. or should i say DRINK UP?! ;-) (also there is a trekkies 2 documentary. did i tell you that already? because yeah. that needs to happen.)

Sounds like a wonderful anniversary weekend. The drinking, the seafood, kayaking, meeting new friends -- ah, good times. But I'm really excited about Epic Pinto, and thrilled beyond belief that your going to do (pretty please) a sequel to Trekkies in Love. Yeah. Have a great week. I'll be on the look out for the great fic.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

yay! so much wonderfulness all around :-)

[lavender-basil.livejournal.com]

I'd say that I was sorry about forcing you to write a follow-up to Trekkies in Love but we'd both know that I was lying! So I will just say: I LOVE YOU! :)

Welcome home and, as always, I can't wait to read your stuff!

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

haha :-) thanks!

[the-deep-magic.livejournal.com]

HOORAY for Trekkies in Love sequel! And I'll punch your Big Bang fic in the face if you'll kick mine in the nards. It needs it.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

agreed. big bang fight club, here we go!

[halfbreedchild.livejournal.com]

Aww sounds like an AMAZING TIME!

And I love proseco too!


Oooh, post it post it post it! lol well, actually I have so much that I still have to read....POST IT! ;)
I have days off in a ROW so I'm going to sit down and start my way through everything I need to catch up on.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

it was awesome.

ha ha, my friend just emailed asking if i was pregnant. i was like, "my future child had better hope not, based on how much alcohol i drank this weekend!"

i should exchange favors for fic posts, eh? ;-) i'll probably post tomorrow night though. stay tuned!

[medea-fic.livejournal.com]

TREKKIES IN LOVE SEQUEL YEEEEAHHH!!!

Um...and I'm glad you had a nice anniversary weekend. <3

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

ha ha, it's all good, you got your priorities straight ;-)

[verizonhorizon.livejournal.com]

Dude, this is why we MUST watch Trekkies II. With chick-fil-a fries. You need to be well-fed and amped up on TREKKIE, I mean, TREKKER goodness!

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A RECIPE FOR A GOOD TIME, BB! but srsly, will you be around maybe next weekend? i know ashley's away this weekend, but i think we should do something soooon :-)

[verizonhorizon.livejournal.com]

I'll also be away this weekend (and checking out Shore Leave, too!), but otherwise plan to be around.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

oh damn, i didn't realize you were going to! so awesome! have a great time!

[vapid-wastrel.livejournal.com]

There is going to be more Trekkies in Love? I think I might dance, I am so freaking excited!!

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

i will need to see a video of you dancing in exchange for fic. ;-)

[vapid-wastrel.livejournal.com]

i have pictures? no videos, no one wants to see that. I dance like an old man at a wedding. it's super awkward

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

a series of relevant gifs would suffice... ;-)

[beedlebarg.livejournal.com]

YOU POSTED. I have missed you posting a big lot.

I love kayaking. I had certificates in it once upon a time. Too fat to fit in one now, I think.

EPIC PINTO! \o/ POST IT POST IT POST EEEEET.

Finish the goddamn coffeeverse already! I am trying to save it to read in one big epic mooshy blow out and you're making it really tough to do so because I want to read it so, so, so bad. THINK OF ME. PUT MY NEEDS FIRST. DAMMIT.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

whut?! i've been posting all the time! you must be distracted by vacations and zq vampires and - gasp! - other pairings! ;-)

coffee 'verse will never end! well, maybe i'll try to end it after the next two...but i am at the mercy of the ficlets as they enter my brain. so i wouldn't really call it a WIP. ANYWAY, the point is, you should read it now! or, ya know, later. :-D

[coeurdesoleil.livejournal.com]

A sequel to Trekkies in Love?? \o/ \o/ \o/
I am giddy with joy at the possibility of more geeky Trekker!Pinto :DD

Epic Pinto and more Coffee Fix 'verse = WIN.

Sounds like you had a great weekend!

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

yay! i love it getting people all excited :-) now i just have to follow through...

[inpurity.livejournal.com]

More coffee fix?
Epic Pinto?

You are like sunshine in my dark life!

Seriously.

Very happy you had such an amazing time.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

awww! i'm glad i (and pinto) can bring you some joy :-)

[blue-jack.livejournal.com]

Does it make me a bad person that I love that I am not the only person neck deep in fics I owe? It does, doesn't it?

And your anniversary sounded like so much fun! I want crab cakes now...

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

it's good to know there are others out there with the same *real* problems ;-)
