Merry Christmas y'all. Not one of my best wallpapers, but well...just a little gift to y'all...and I am hoping to have some more after the holidays. Along with some fic in the coming days since I promised stories to some special people.

( Booth unwrapped for the holidays )

And since I'm not feeling well...gonna finished my lunch and go take a nap.

Title: All I Do Is Love Her
Characters: Chris Kane/Royal OFC
Fandom: RPF AU
Summary: Just because he’s not high class doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to treat a woman.
Rating: NC-17 Warnings: Sex, Real People involved
Disclaimer: I don't know any of the people involved; no offense is meant by using them in this story. This is purely for entertainment purposes.
Author's Note: So yesterday I finished and posted All I Do Is Love Her and ctrokj  insisted she wasn't going to ask what happened when they got back to the condo. Except apparently, Chris and Royal wanted y'all to know. So here it is...it's not a complete story...more of a missing scene...so for now I am just posting it here and under the same title.

Title: All I Do Is Love Her Characters: Chris Kane/Royal OFCHTML Fandom: RPF AU Summary: Just because he’s not high class doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to treat a woman. Rating: PG-13 Warnings: Swearing, Real People involved Disclaimer: I don't know any of the people involved; no offense is meant by using them in this story. This is purely for entertainment purposes. Author's Note: So although this is part of our series, ctrokj  hasn’t actually seen this or most of this yet. That is because this is a birthday present for her! serenelystrange  and kaitlia777  for assistance with both beta’ing and naming characters in this story. I had originally meant to base this story on All I Did Was Love Her, but it kinda took a left turn somewhere and didn’t exactly work that way. Also if y’all are wondering I did have an outfit in mind for Chris to be wearing…and then we of course couldn’t find a picture of him by himself…so have one of him with the Leverage cast for the idea The Cast and a close up of him alone. And f'ing eljay for screwing up my story and making me have to repost this like three times before it would work! All I Do Is Love Her at the community mostly cause I'm too annoyed with eljay to repost the entire thing.

I'm supposed to be working on ctrokj 's birthday present...I apparently have about a ten minute attention span. So far I've watched an episode of Smallville, messed around on-line, and told serenelystrange  about the conversation I had with my students about my computer wallpaper today.


Okay this is what happened with the wallpaper...cause well it involves my kids (and the amusement factor with them never gets old), Christian Kane, and yeah...it just always amuses me.

A little bit of background for those of you not in the know about my kids...I teach in an urban district and my kids are all African American or variations there of...so me with my pale white skin kinda stands out...and according to them...I have bad taste in music, movies, pretty much everything.

Anyway today I texted serenelystrange  during lunch and pointed out to her that I had f'ed up my background and never bothered to fix it (I was moving pix around and deleted it) and was tired of the plain black so who should I put up. She said "our boy" meaning Christian Kane was always a good choice or shirtless Jensen. Well, I don't have a wallpaper with Jensen from the episode she was talking about (gee maybe I should make one?) so I decided on picking one of CK...and asked her long hair or short...we decided on long. I picked this picture:

( Pretty )

And since I have my laptop at school and it sits on my desk--my kids decided they needed to see what I was up to. Their comment was "Why do you have a country singer on your computer?"

I commented to serenelystrange ...how did they know he was a country singer? and she replied: "well, he's white.. has pretty hair.. and a guitar.  it does kinda scream country singer.  all that's missin is the hat" Which cracked me up even more than the kids...gotta love it...and I had to share...cause yes...I'm procrastinating...and now I should go back to what I am supposed to be doing.

ctrokj ! I hope you have a fabulous day! And um ideally...I'll have your present ready later today...otherwise I'll try to get it done by the end of the weekend. And just because I want to give you something now...a teaser from your present. Middle of the story, but one of the more amusing parts...the girl is just saying what we're all thinking!

( Sometimes Ya Gotta Be Drunk To Tell The Truth ) And there ya go...more and the beginning to follow.

Okay so more years ago than I care to admit to, I was an English major in college. And I got to do all these cool essay and research things sometimes. Apparently I miss these things because the back of my head has been thinking about one of the essays I worked on back in the day.

I had to read an article (which I unfortunately do not have now) about women in the media and would like to do a study about fictional women in movies and television. I'd like to pick a woman from each decade starting I think in the 50s or 60s and move into now. What I'm looking for is ideas of what to look at, articles to use as background, who I should include, pretty much anything. At this point I'm just gathering ideas and not sure what or where exactly I'm going with it.

The women I'm thinking of so far are:

June Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver
Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie
Princess Leia from Star Wars
Padme Amidala from Star Wars
7 of 9 from Voyager
Parker and Sophie from Leverage
Starbuck from the new Battleship Galactica
Leeloo from 5th Element

Obviously that's probably more than I'll be able to include...but who knows since I have no idea how long I'm going to make this...ideally I may end up shopping this around depending on what I end up writing, but we'll see where I go with it.

So a few weeks ago someone asked where to find pictures of Christian scruffy...well I was in the middle of Mini-Nano, quarter reviews, and cycle tests so I kinda shuffled it into the back of my head. Then this week I had a long week and decided I needed a reward. I sorted through all of my thousands (and yes I have thousands) of pictures not just of Christian and other people and narrowed it down to just over seventy. I then sent them to my friend ctrokj and she helped make sure that we only had scruffy ones--taking out some that were a little too clean shaven.

So here we have from just lightly stubbled to scruffy to full goatee. And I will warn you...not dial up friendly or brain friendly. A lot of pretty pretty images abound.

Photos are compliments of havenward , amara_a , badfalcon , charli_macboyd raggedy_edge , flything, google search, Always Christian Kane and I'm not sure where else. If a picture is from you, please let me know and I'll give you credit!

Um...so that post I made a couple of days ago about my total for Mini-Nano? Yeah...I fail at math. I added wrong. My actual final word count...was 17, 421




So um...writing win! Math Fail...yeah...um...just yeah.

And major fail that I've barely written since November ended. So someone wanna find Alexander and send him back home?

So a few weeks ago I posted the wallpapers I made using writing_light 's pictures from the Louisville, Kentucky Kane show. I made some icons at the same time, but I had to wait for eaglesis40 to finish them (and since she's in the middle of classes...it took a little extra time). But she sent them to me just before Thanksgiving and now I am finally getting around to posting them. Enjoy!

Comment, Snag, Credit!

Migraines suck! but I still made it! Look at my pretty, pretty bars :-)

Old goal:



New goal:


I kicked ASS!

*gonna go curl up and die now*

So with one more day left, I decided I needed to re-evaluate my goal for the month...since I like blew it away in the first week. So I decided I would attempt to make 15K by tomorrow...except I had only 40 words left to get there (remember my daily goal is 150 words), then I decided 16K. Worked for me.

And then I wrote today...and apparently blew it away as when I finished up (with 1233 words for the day), I had 16,193 total. So after discussing things with ransom_noble , I chose 16,500 as my new goal. Hopefully I will make it by tomorrow, but if I don't...I'm happy with what I did for the month.

And now since I have randomly developed a tummy ache in the last like 10 minutes...I'm going to bed.

So with about five days left...I figured I'd post another status bar...

New word count... 12, 152

Yeah...I rock...and since a friend asked me... I'm a diamond in the rough


Anyone recognize the reference?

So most of you know I've been writing for mini_nanowrimo and I've finished three stories total so far. I'm feeling like I haven't accomplished all that much although I've written over 12K words which is like my biggest push to date on word count and all...so what I decided this morning is that I'd post links to my finished stuff and then snippets for unfinished stuff...

So the links and then snippets follow...understand that I am NOT posting from the beginning of anything here, nor am I posting complete on anything that is unfinished. In addition it should all be considered spoilers so if you don't want to know anything forthcoming (including Christmas presents for a couple of you)...DON'T click!

( Leverage Family Christmas )






























And that's all, folks!

Hey y'all. So my little cousin is getting married. And I have always teased her about how she can't cook. So I'm collecting recipes to put together in a book for her. Some of you have already sent me stuff and have given me some great stuff, but I'd like some more. I'm hoping to make a nice book for her.

If anyone has any more or any ideas for things I could include, please drop me a line. The wedding is the end of December, so I'd like to put it together and bind it by around the 15th.

Thanks!


ETA:
And I majorly fail on a few levels:

1) None of these will be published anywhere.
2) I am just going to print these and bind them in a book for my little cousin.
3) I will credit whoever sends them to me with whatever name you give me.
4) please send them to rebkreyling@gmail.com

Thanks!

Um...I think I need to do a new counter for the month...




Meanwhile I feel kinda stupid that I've only finished ONE story all month. And my good friend and writing mentor ordered me through her 8 month old to finish something yesterday. I got really damn close...but the migraine finally won out over both my writing and Leverage. So hopefully I'll write the last few lines on that tonight and get it posted.

Right now though I'm sitting at the doctor's office waiting for my appointment...now how do I nicely tell her that her idea of no painkillers sucked ass?

And yes I totally tell my kids not to do what everyone else does...but I couldn't resist.

Get Your Sexy Name

Man I could procrastinate with this and my nicknames all night :-)

So I am working on making some Christian Kane caps so that I have things to work from (since I went to do some graphics and discovered that I didn't have what I needed and also couldn't find them on-line). Here's the thing...I don't want to clog up my on-line photo account with the pictures (and would also like to know who is using them) so if you'd like a copy of the caps, leave me a comment of what you want and I'll zip them and send them to you--through email most likely although I can also send through AIM.

I don't cap every second, but I've got a pretty good spread of each movie or show. If there's something I don't have that you want, once you see the pix, please let me know and if I can go back and re-cap, I will (depending on time and whether or not I capped from something I own).

At the moment, I have done:
Crossfire Trail (280)
Life or Something Like it (219)
LoveSong (286 these were capped specifically for icons so are a little odder)
Summer Catch (145 from the movie, 22 from deleted scenes--crappy quality though)
Hide (1270)

Random On-Line or Saved Videos (Interviews, Etc Chris has done)
the mySpace or whatever when he was driving from Portland (41 caps)
Chris and Riley Smith MinuteMan interview (106 includes a couple random ones of Riley)

I am working on:
The Crooked E (25 and climbing)
Into the West (74 and climbing)

I own (and am planning to cap):
Her Minor Thing
Keep Your Distance
Angel
Rescue 77
Taxi
(I think there's more I own, but my brain is apparently unwilling to cough up the titles)

I have on order from Netflix:
Nothing Else

If there's something else you'd like capped in particular or something you'd like me to attempt to get my hands on, please let me know. I do have Leverage, but well it seems like there's a lot of caps out there from the show so that's kinda low on my priority list.

If you requested caps from me, please let me know which ones I sent and didn't send. I lost my list of sent files. Thanks. I didn't forget my list just disappeared. I will send them in the next week or so as soon as you let me know what you want and don't have.
