I'm trying to find a good writing app for my shiny new iPad the Boss gave me for Christmas. I'd like something that let me do pages with the stylus as well as typing with the keypad or a keyboard... I haven't looked into to it too much yet (waiting on the iTunes gift card from the roomie), but I figured I'd see if others have something that works for them.

I didn't have it on my Christmas wish list in writing, but I must have been good, because I got one anyway. :)

[Error: unknown template qotd]

big·ot·ry   [big-uh-tree]
noun, plural -ries.
1. stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.

Within my massive extended family we have Catholics, Muslims, Jews, non-believers, many other faiths, gays and straights, mixed race marriages, doctors, lawyers, teachers, stay at home moms, farmers, business minded and not so business minded, artists, writers, dreamers, musicians, veterinarians, soldiers... The list can go on an on. And yet, with all those differences, we can come together at the holidays (even if some don't celebrate the same ones) and for many other reasons and be at peace with one another (except for those friendly family disagreements where you agree to disagree).

If a large extended family can make this work on a small scale, wouldn't it be awesome to see it on the grand scale of earth.

My philosophy has always been: I have my beliefs and thoughts and you have your beliefs and thoughts. They may not be the same, but I won't hate you for it. In fact, I just might learn something.

So if there was one problem that could be solved it would be bigotry, because solving bigotry would solve so many others in the world.

Charlie Chaplin says it well:

Because it was made of awesome, I wanted to preserve the end dialogue for future fic reference. So below the cut is the awesome spoiler text. You've been warned. And ignore any misspelling or my attempts at non-word sounds Gibbs and Tony make.

Step One

Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

Surf around your friendslist (or friends of friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Note: If you want to send me something that requires more info from me, either comment or PM me and I'll let you know. If you want to keep it anonymous to me, contact azraelz_angel via PM and she'll let you know how to do it.

Over a year ago, Callie (along with my parents) survived a house fire that claimed the lives of 3 other cats in the house. Including my cat Abu who was Callie's brother.

Callie is now around 18 years old and enjoying her second kitten-hood as you can see from a few videos. :)

In regards to the mouse video, Callie has an army of toy mouse (around 8) and she transports the troops throughout the house to wherever my mom is. And she cries while doing it. My mom will always wake up surrounded by mice. At least they are of the toy variety.

Not sure if anyone will have any suggestions beyond what I can find through web searching, but my boss asked me to look into compiling a list of the top 10 diabetes research / clinic facilities in the US. He is a long time diabetic and wants to explore more options for the future. Is there anyone that has any input?

Hi everyone... I'm alive. Although the Red Cross I tried to donate blood with a few days back probably thought otherwise when she had to take my blood pressure twice to get it to register. :)

Things went crazy at work back about the time I went to the NCIS DC get together and didn't calm down until the last few weeks. And even then, it still gets a bit crazy. I'm now more or less HR along with all my old duties to boot. So yay! And let me tell you that people as a whole can't follow directions. *sigh*

But enough about work. I'm going to work on getting back into the swing of LJ land. I've been catching up on journals... and what not.

I also want to get to writing again because I miss it so much. So here's to getting back.

As a 'get me motivated' incentive, I'll take the first five prompts (NCIS or crossovers with NCIS preferred) and try to write at least a drabble to get me going. Any takers?

So... In advance, let me apologize to anyone who's tried to get in touch with me the last few weeks and the last few months really. Leading up to now, work was a pain and a half due to some personnel issues. Those were finally resolved the first week of May, so Hooray!

Then, my aunt that lived in Washington DC retired and she paid for me to fly out and drive her car back with her so she didn't have to do it alone. So it went like this...

April Fool's Day
My one-way ticket from Nashville to DC was purchased.

Thursday, May 12, 2011
I left work at 3pm and met my parents for the drive down to Nashville. I was going to crash with my friend that lives there and her husband was going to meet us somewhere. Just after we crossed into Tennessee, we hit a monsoon. Literally. Traffic just stopped on the interstate. Usually people pull off, but this time, it just stopped. At another point, a car beside us through a wall of water over my car. It wasn't fun. Eventually we met my friend's husband and all was good. Since my flight was at 6am on Friday, I had to wake up at 3am...

Friday, May 13, 2011
I woke up with a sore throat. I figured it was from the garlic bread and dipping sauce that I ate the night before as I have food allergies to seasonings and such. So I disregarded the irritation. Upon arriving at the airport, I expected the worse. I was flying one-way to DC on Friday the 13th with no checked luggage. Somehow, I breezed right through security and the flight was uneventful.

I arrived in DC and killed 2-3 hours roaming the monuments until my aunt was ready to pick me up. We headed out of DC in the afternoon and hit rush hour, so we didn't get very far that afternoon before stopping for the night. Plus, there were some strong storms in the area and we figured better safe than sorry.

Saturday, May 14, 2011
The sore throat morphed, so from Virginia to Illinois, I was sneezing while driving my aunt's car. It was not a pleasant time. Plus, my ears did not like the mountains and hills. By the time we arrived at my parents place that evening I was wiped out.

Sunday, May 15, 2011
I was in full blown cold mode by this time. I vegged on my parents couch until I mustered enough energy to drive myself back to Kentucky. Upon getting home a completely crashed.

Monday, May 16, 2011
Woke up and couldn't talk above a whisper. Called my boss and croaked out that I wasn't coming to work, took some medicine and crawled back into bed. Was only interrupted by work phone calls once, so that was good.

Tuesday, May 17, 2011
Woke up and couldn't open my eyes! The dreaded pink-eye had set up shop in both of my eyes. So I crawled myself to the doctor and they took a throat culture, gave me some meds and told me to sleep.

Wednesday-Today...
I went back to work, but I wasn't worth anything until today. The meds had my head swimming and hurting. I've gone through about 6-7 boxes of kleenex and let's just say it's not pretty. Today, I'm finally feeling energy and can breath without blowing my nose. Still sound congested in my voice, but it is better.

I actually think I'll be able to stay awake when I get home from work. All I've done sine the 15th is sleep... and I'm tired of sleeping. :(

Beyond the sick front... My thoughts are with those in Joplin, MO. My mom has a cousin who's son and wife live there. Their house was spared, but she was on her way to work and took cover in a person's house that was destroyed. She was trapped in the rubble for about 6 hours before they found her. At least she had her cell with her and got signal so she was able to call her husband.

And we're battening down the hatches here today. The weather channel put us at a 9 out of 10 on their tornado condition index chart. :(

Well... back to work I go now that lunch has ended and here's hoping I'll have internet tonight when I get home if these storms hit.
