Monday Meme and Randomness
First, the randomness. I'm off work, was supposed to be my first day back from my vacation. Alas, we were so low on our count at the daycare that three teachers were sent home (the side roads, neighborhoods, etc are still in hazardous condition, so I'm assuming that's why attendence is off). I have my feet over the furnace, my desk stocked with junk food and I'm ready to waste time.

The big squee omeegee news? I actually wrote something last night! Almost have the first chapter in a three chapter piece done. And the bigger surprise? It's my first foray into slash. I'm excited and nervous and gah, I just want to get this right because it somehow matters to me more than any het fic I've done. I'm sure I'll write more het; in fact, I have one unfinished series and another one I'm doing research on. But the experience of writing again after so long is heady and I've walked around with a big goofy grin on my face. [info]thrihyrne, look for something to beta soon! *G*

Now, the meme. Two questions, pick one or do both if you choose:

1. What would you be most curious about experiencing if you were able to spend one day as the opposite gender?

2. If you had the opportunity to spend a month living in the shoes of someone that you either don't like or don't respect, just to see if you could gain a better understanding of why they are the way that they are, would you take it? Conversely, if you had the opportunity to put someone of this nature in your shoes for a month for the same reason, would you take it? Feel free to elaborate on why your chose your answers and what person comes to mind when faced with this scenario.

Have a great day!

Okay, so I'm eight days late replying to you. But hey— please don't take it personally; you may or may not have seen on my LJ that I've essentially taken a sledgehammer to my life and am still, quite slowly, recovering. At any rate, send me your slash when you're ready. I'd love to read it!!!

1. Were I actually a man, instead of simply writing as though I were one? Well, I'm a slash writer, and I have no shame. I'd want to know what it felt like to be the 'top' in having anal sex. Are you kidding? I'd want to spend the whole day having sex, both top and bottom. Because I don't think my personality would change, but it'd be really cool to have those bits and a prostate for a day. And then I could give them back, lol.

2. No, because the person I disrespect and loathe the most is someone that quite frankly I hope never to hear from again. I don't want to be in his shoes. Ever. Though were I him, I'd not make the same decisions he's made, and I'd be dating me. But that gets a bit... complicated.

(((hugs you)))

Aw, don't worry about it. Real life sucks sometimes; I'm very well acquainted with how badly it can go. I'm almost through with chapter one, but I haven't had much time since I've been having to share the computer with both the girls (end of semester projects). If I had the money I'd buy another one just so I didn't have to share.

I'm quite nervous about the piece I'm writing. I'm a virgin slash writer, so I'm hoping it will come across well. It's very angsty, post-war Ron/Draco; definitely not a fairy tale romance, but what is life without teh angst?

Same here on experiencing the other gender. Just walking about with your bits on the outside would be interesting in and of itself.

And the person I loathe the most? I can't say that I've met that person yet. Sure, I've been very upset and resentful towards certain people, namely previous partners and such, but the feelings didn't last and frankly, I didn't want to hang onto either the feelings or the person. Gives them power over me and I don't like that. I would, perhaps, like to know what my youngest daughter's father is thinking, why he doesn't visit her, etc. But then again, the answer just might break my heart.
