Song:- "Goodmorning Starshine" by Oliver - from the musical "Hair" (Don't ask why, I just am :)

I know I haven't written in this journal in ages! But I've been attacked by a *very* vicous plot-bunny for a Star Wars fanfic. And for the first time ever, it's refusing to go away until I've finished writing! With me, plot-bunnies usually poke me a couple of times before giving up and wandering off again. (Like the idea for a TPM - Austin Powers cross-over).

For starters, I can imagine a lot of you are wondering what a plot-bunny is! (Or wondering if I've gone completly insane, right? :) Basicly, it's the term used in a couple of TPM/SW mailings lists I belong to. Which refers to an fanfic story idea that refuses to go away, or let you think about about much else, until you've finished writing the damned story! :) Don't ask me why we refer to them as bunnies, because I just don't know.

Mine is currently called "This Silent Place", but I don't like that title so much. So it'll proberly be changed long before I post it to my collection of online stories. I do want to post straight away, but I've barely finished my first draft of the first part. So I'm stuck putting it off, for now. Warning it is going to be long, and very romantic/angusty :)

By the way, don't you just love the photo of Liam, I'm using today? :) But, be warned the full version is *really* big and takes a while to download. I got it from Sockii's TPM & related photos.

I don't write much do I? :) But, with a little luck I will be getting better once my summer holidays have started. I've only one and a bit weeks worth of exams left to go at Uni. Then I have 3 1/2 months worth of holidays! Which I'm both exicted and nervous about, as my student allowance will be stopping soon after my exams.... Which means I've got to find a second job fast. Right now, I'm slowly freaking out about both my exams and my immient completle lack of money. Plus I've got a very determine plot-bunny that's refusing to let me go! (Not that I'm complaining too much about the plot-bunny! :)

So I better go and do some more study. Before I relax a little, to work on "This Silent Place". Also the latest X-Files ep is starting right now. :)

I will get down on my needs and I will pray..."
