Having lots of university work means procrastinating. and since i'm no longer in Europe i guess procrastinating can't be....going to Paris/another country for the day. here at home it seems procrastinating means the plot bunnies start bouncing. i meant HONESTLY guys really? you silly bunnies its been over a year since i've written anything do you really think anything good can come of this? and to top it off it's not just daniel/vala plot bunnies there are Doctor/Donna plot bunnies and Bones/Booth plot bunnies and Roslin/Adama plot bunnies and *cough*michaela/sully plot bunnies*cough*

...yeah i think i have an issue *looks at pile of schoolwork* *looks at dirty apartment* *looks at microsoft word* that little blinking cursor is just so enticing...

BUT I DON"T WANNNA GOOOOOOOOOOOO *starts to cry for the gillionth time*


must...pack...all...day. and then leave for wednesday. it's a good thing i'm going to london to see the girls otherwise i think i would just....hide and not leave dijon. ever.

*sigh*

You know what sucks? what is seriously frustrating? when your camera decides it would rather just KEEP your pictures and NOT let you put them on your computer so you can ENJOY the photographs you took in italy and greece and share them with others but instead just...neglects to let you upload them and forces you to relive your travels on a tiny camera screen. I am not impressed camera. not at all.

Hello All!

Hello all,

just an update on me...in that I haven't been doing much out of the ordinary (france ordinary that is) so schooling hanging out with friends, bumming about Dijon, watching french wheel of fortune with the woman i live with ;) etc BUT I did go on the school excursion to Provence (south of france) last week and thought I would pass along those photos for anyone who cares to take a peek!
quick run down of events...links are at the bottom if you want to skip over the blah blah blah-ing to the visual section of the tour...

Hey All – sending along the promised update on my Normandy Weekend (November 7-9). This time I was travelling with my friend Chasity (also from Nova Scotia – she goes to Acadia University there)

This is…a long one. I mean it. Very long. Lots of words. Lots of pictures. It was a really important trip to me so I wrote…a lot. I won’t be offended if you skim it’s…a lot of detail particularly from the Juno Beach/Canadian D-day tour that I went on that Saturday so feel free to take what you like from this extremely long update – for the photo journey only skip to the bottom for links as usual

Please keep your hands and arms inside the ride at all times annnnnd we’re off.

So i've totally sucked at remembering to update my LJ. oopsie.

Things have been busy with school and such but I’ve finally got myself organised and uploaded some pictures from my Paris trip (Nov 1-2). I went with my friends Maggie (from Ohio, USA) and Rikke (from a village near Copenhagen, Denmark).
There should be another post on the way soon for my Weekend in Normandy this past weekend in the near future. For now…Paris!

Just a quick photo update - went on a random train trip to Annecy this weekend with my friend natalia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annecy - kinda a weird mix between austria and italy and france and I dunno what else - gorgeous lake, awesome mountains, picturesque town with rivers running through it almost like venice PLUS we chose the best day to go because they were having a one day only annual festival on saturday, the 35th anniversary of the festival actually - Retour des Alpes - something to do with the tradition of bringing down the animals from their summer pastures in the Alps - so there were tons of traditional things to see hear and eat as well as a parade and...lots of farm animals. wicked wicked day!

enjoy the pics!

started classes today...might have to move down a level from the most advanced to the almost most advanced though... which is a stupid bureaucratic university story that involves my school and home being stupid and will cause separation from pretty colorado boy. but I will survive...lol

I shall give you all a résumé (oh look French) of my trip thus far. The good, the bad, the ugly....the french… ☺

Better internet is not as easy to come by as one might hope. *throws computer against wall* internet in my room would be good right about NOW *picks computer up and throws it against the wall again*

if i had internet france would be 100% perfect *sigh*

Im alive, Im in France, more to come when i have better internet :P

Turn Out The Light
Chapter 6 - Someday
Rating: PG-13 (things get a little hot there but nothing really explicit so this seems...right)
Disclaimer: Not Mine. MGM and the stargate writers get to play for real, I get to play in my head.
Author's Note: FINALLY the last chapter in my fic is based on lyrics from a song called Borrowed Time by Leahy. The last one. finally. A Post-Unending Story which asks:

What if Teal'c wasn't the only one who remembered....

A/N: Again, all would have been lost without shari: well I think we both lost our minds trying to FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY finish this but you wouldn't have what you have without her help. She is the macaroni to my cheese and the ham to my burger. *huggles* you rock sweetie.

and many many many many thanks to aeryn_b for being such an awwwesome beta. cause she's awesome.

AND when you've finished the story don't forget to check out Milena's companion vid!!! it is brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K4krZkWGPM
