*snorfle* OK, well, my girlfriend (who lives on Seattle) has a couple. Men, I mean. Though come to think of it, she has a, you know, A COUPLE, as well.

Any or all of the above depending on just how perverse my brain feels like being at the time. Though displacement activities are high on the list. As well as the ones listed, there's also various means of distracting yourself doing Important Stuff on the computer.

I should find one of those... XD

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

HEE! I know that feeling -- I have often apologised for the house being in a disaster, because I am tidying ;-)

Hurrah for a monkey!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

My books and CDs are in perfect order. My notes are diabolical. I may need to borrow a bit of your brain ...

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Can't read! Too far behind with writing!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Will never finish anything ever again if I start contemplating Bradley James Naked! (And shhhh! It's REALLY HARD not mainlining your recent batch of production, I am only happy they are mostly still WIPs so I can tell myself I will come back when my faves are done.)

It's really because Mr B hasn't cleaned the kitchen in weeks and there is not enough room to cook. I have been living on fruit and ice-cream since December!

I will let you know if I solve the problem :-)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one who gets up to years in the tardiness stakes!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I do wish one of them lived closer and needed to broaden her or his cleaning horizons!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Brilliance without breakfast?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I briefly considered the possibility I might know someone that organised, but dismissed it on the grounds they would almost certainly have defriended me by now ;-)

BJ naked gives me the will to live, I swear.

All of my Merlin/Arthur stuff is one-shots! NONE OF THEM ARE WIPs. NO EXCUSE NOT TO READ. I actually made a personal rule not to start/post any Merlin-WIPs, so anything for that fandom at least will be posted when they are FINISHED :D

As for H/D stuff... well, I need to do what I can, only THOTM is anywhere near finished XDD

You can borrow my brain anytime you want.

Nope, not the only one. I had one story take four years to complete. First because I was cowriting it with someone (they disappeared off the face of the Earth) and also had lots of rl things to do.

That's sort of the deal with this story's sequel. It's been almost 4 years and I have maybe a paragraph written of the sequel. This is why I can't believe there are prolific people out there. It boggles my mind.

I love your icon, which almost distracted me from responding to responding. I particularly liked "diffusing" a bomb. Don't get me started on "nauseous." I spent a bit of time surfing blond and blonde, and ended up far more confused than when I started. And the various dictionaries are not as helpful as one might like, even the British ones.

Origin of BLOND
Cambridge dict:
Anglo-French blunt, blound, masculine, blounde, feminine
First Known Use: 15th century

Ox Dict:
late 17th century (earlier as blond): from French, feminine of blond, from medieval Latin blundus 'yellow', perhaps from Germanic

World English dict: from Old French blond (fem blonde ), probably of Germanic origin; related to Late Latin blundus yellow, Italian biondo , Spanish blondo ]



Merriam-Webster: —spelled blond when used of a boy or man and often blonde when used of a girl or woman
Dictionary.com: —Usage note
The spelling blonde is still widely used for the noun that specifies a woman or girl with fair hair... Some people object to this as an unnecessary distinction, preferring blond for all persons.... As an adjective, the word is more usually spelled blond in reference to either sex. (ellipses for examples)
your dictionary: blond: esp. fem. form, but in Brit. usage preferred for all sense (?? may be typo)
Cambridge dict: blonde woman/a blond man
Oxford dict: The alternative spellings blonde and blond correspond to the feminine and masculine forms in French, but in English the distinction is not always made.... Thus, blond woman or blonde woman, blond man or blonde man are all used. [typically blonde since typically woman, always blond in America].
Collins: Blonde is the commoner form both as a noun and an adjective, and is more frequently used to refer to women than men. The less common variant blond occurs usually as an adjective, occasionally as a noun, and is the preferred form when referring to men with fair hair.
Your dictionary: the tendency being for North Americans to use the masculine in either case, and other English-speakers to use the feminine in either case.

http://www.answers.com/topic/blond has an interesting review of longer articles as well. And http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=blond does etymology well.

I'd confess that I resemble that remark but then I remembered that I am only good at cleaning other peoples areas. Wait, that means I am of use. Ahh, but I also made a resolution to not clean other people's kitchen until I'd done my own...

My kitchen is in pieces atm. Will work for tea.

Girlfriends? Men? Couples? (Or, you know, one of each, just for variety?)

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

Pretty much anyone who shows up is fine with me. XD

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's on my to-do list, too.

*defriends*

*guffaws*

Aw, you silly thing. I think you're wonderful!

You forgot the option where my brain just shuts down completely! ^_~
