Succumbing to the Green Fairy

[51stcenturyfox]

...so I was working on a piece of fic involving guess who (points up) and got stuck. I blame using a notebook instead of the computer, because it screws up my sense of order, writing things with PENS. Now back to the original setting and absinthe. Because. John Hart.

Boche had known a joiner who had stripped himself stark naked in the rue Saint-Martin and died doing the polka — he was an absinthe-drinker.

So. Absinthe research led to arguments from the Ist Century BCE Lucretius poem De Rerum Natura : It is a statement of personal responsibility in a world in which everyone is driven by hungers and passions with which they were born and do not understand.

Odd prompts/structure for naughty fan fiction about two guys from the 51st Century. Probably.

Unrelated but funny: the John Barrowman peen pic. Likely not his, but "being dickrolled" has now entered the LJ lexicon.

***Also, the best YouTube cooking video title I've seen lately: Béchamel Sauce - Let's Turn This "Mother" Out!

I prefer notebooks when I'm getting my thoughts in order...I'm more likely to continue if I use a notebook first then type stuff up.

I just keep flipping around, and end up with scribbles on 15 pages in no particular order. :) On the laptop, I can cut and paste, but here, it's this: "Damn, where's that part where they're walking down the street, because I think there was a nice line about gaslights flickering on. Oh. It's illegible."

Years of using computers has ruined my handwriting. (That's an excuse, but I'm sticking with it.)

LOL. I tend to just write in order and add stuff when I type, it's actually better 'cause I gets me to actually read stuff over...

That works.
