Graphic for aetraega for the amazing fic The Fourth, The Fifth

Glee is my new obsession and I have created a few manips of my OTP - I ship Pezberry although I have no problem with Faberry, Quintana or Quintanaberry.

Icon meme gacked from ariestess 

The Rules
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

Here are the six Ariestess picked...

	This icon came to be after seeing the magazine spread of Mariska - I thought to myself this woman has some great genes and then I went and got a pic of her mom, Jayne Mansfield to prove the point - and thus this gif animation was born.
	This one happened back when I was shipping Sassy fic and listening to Fionna Apple. This line in one of her songs just stuck with me and I thought it applied nicely to Sara/Sophia. I'd hoped to write a fic based on the concept but it never happened,
	Ah Susan and Talia... An actual cannon couple! I adored both of these women and was more than a little disappointed when their storyline ended so abruptly. I love to write these two and have a few good B5 fics in my portfolio.
	Pink is just... Pink! She is an amazing talent and I think she can only get better. I've noticed her work maturing with each album, and even though her life was a bit rocky she managed to get her act together and I look forward to many good things to come from this young lady. And hey, she's from my neck of the woods so I have to root for her.
	I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure who to attribute this image to. All I know is when I saw it I thought it was one of the most adorable things I'd ever seen and immediately made it into an icon and added the Katfu.
	This one is a piece of a stock image I found while researching images for work. I loved the simplicity of the image and the way the eye doesn't seem sad even though there's a tear falling from it. I subsequently added a Borg eyepiece to this image to create my Seven Tears icon.

So, this is the first time I am using my journal to post something that happened to me recently.

I decided to go ahead and spring for Season's 4-6 of Star Trek Voyager because I had been dreaming about B/7 story lines for the past week or so. I haven't gotten them yet but I look forward to watching some of those old episodes.

Yesterday I sat down and wrote almost 2,000 words to a new B/7 fic in about an hour. The words just seemed to flow, and I barely made any changes after giving is a read-through.

Then this morning I went to breakfast with some friends to a new restaurant and decided I would have pancakes. Upon reading the menu I saw banana pancakes and decided to get them. For those who don't know banana pancakes are B'Elanna's favorite. The really odd thing about this... the menu had them listed as #B7!!!!!

So I was a little tickled about that but couldn't share because the folks I was having breakfast with were not really fans, nor were they aware of the fact that I write fan fiction. We went on a brewery tour and while in the beer caves a friend took my picture. When she showed it to me she said "It look like your in Star Trek or something." Totally unexpected comment coming from her - I don't think she even watched the show.

So I'm going to take this as a sign that I should devote some time to writing B/7 fic. I have an unfinished B/7 and the new piece so far and plan to finish both and just keep going. So, all you B/7 fans get ready for some new fic!

You Are a Lynx

You are a quiet observer of the world around you. Your wisdom comes from listening carefully. You've always been extra sensitive and aware. And it's made it difficult for you to fit in. You see past people's outward personas. You are able to penetrate a stranger's soul. What you've learned about people is both beautiful and ugly. And you keep these secrets to yourself.

I found this to be strangely accurate...

The following story is an excerpt from the book, Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace: Living in the Spirit of the Prayer of St. Francis, by Kent Nerburn.

I found it to be a very lovely story and wanted to share - I hope you will do the same with it.
