This was a triumph!*

[bending_sickle]

I'm making a note here: huge success!*

Guess who just got a motherlovin' 9 on her internship?**

Me!

That's who!

Whoot!

*dance of victory*

You know what else? I have a meeting tomorrow with my other supervisor about a possible internship in Amboselli National Park. Like, zomg, ftw!

Woo-to-the-hoo!

Naturally, under the circumstances, I wanted to call Ma and dance a bit over the phone. Wow, was that a sucker. Naw, yeah, she's all:

"Yay, congratulations! But anyway, you worked really hard on it, so, like, duh."

Um, 'kay. Stil, acheviement? And possible new internship ftw?

"Oh. Yeah."

Ain't you happy for me?

"Have you done this? No? What about that? I can't believe you haven't done that other thing yet."

*cries*

ETA: Seriously, the porter was more ecstatic over the grade than my mom. *hmpfr*


* "Still Alive", JCoulton
** Grading scale 1-10, where 10 is "Omg this thing is so perfect, we only ever give out 10's once a century". So, basically, 9 = highest achievable grade without being God.

I wrote new Jasmine-fic-thing, too! Only you can't has. Yet. I need to make the scene an actual scene instead of jumping into it right in the middle. >_>

PS: icon_pythagoras :D?

*sidles up with pokey stick* You be back to making icons, yes?

Write! Write more! Write more cop & AI. For the sake of puppies worldwide! But only if you want.

(Also, not to be forgetting Heroes fics *puppy eyes*)

♥!

*grins* Original fic takes precedence over fan stuff, I'm afraid.

But yes, Amilcar Ryurik and his AI subordinate/buddy/aide/snark-opponent will be making a reappearance in this section. *beam*

I'm going to need a while to remember character's names, just so you know. I utterly suck at names. Like, I can be reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and be like, "You know, that boy, the main character, what's his - oh, right."

That said, yays for Amilcar! (How do,/i> you pronounce his last name? Rai-u-rick?)

[lienne.livejournal.com]

Well, I pronounce it... um... Ryurik? Ree-urr-ik? YMMV.

And yeah, I noticed during the Rody Soane section you were all "Is this the guy with the wife?" and I was all "Yes, because his name totally wasn't mentioned explicitly last chapter. Twice." It was an object lesson in not assuming things about my readership. ♥

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

In your defence, I'm thick. :P

I'd like to say I usually pick up on things - and I might - but names? *whoosh*

[lienne.livejournal.com]

You do usually pick up on things! And it's interesting, because after the names I sort of wasn't trying to make it any more obvious, and you got it anyways. *grins*
