Rusty!

Either that or Oxide :P

I look forward to seeing boys trading jewellery tips.

White gold looks pretty close to silver; there's not a lot to choose between them other than it's a bit more expensive and it doesn't tarnish. So it suits me riiiiight down to the ground!

It has eyeholes and a hole for your mouth, but it covers all the rest of your face :) Good for not being recognised.

I think an Apostrophe Protection Society Militant PPC Wing is probably in order.

*hands Ciri a balaclava* Consider yourself a member :)

You're not likely to really even be showing a bump, and the prospect of a spontaneous miscarriage is still high-ish, so don't let your pregnant Agent fall over or run around too much. She needs to watch her food intake and all her meat needs to be very well cooked. She should be taking folate supplements.

Other than that, she can do almost everything a not-up-the-duff woman can; pregnancy only really seems to slow you down in the third trimester, unless morning sickness is really bad or there are other complications, but that sort of thing isn't too common.

Trust me, I'm NOT a doctor! And this is off-the-top-of-my-head, so I really would check any of my ideas against a medical text, a local doctor, or failing that, Wikipedia...

I have limited internet access at the moment, but I'll reply more fully later. {= )

We have an orchestra? *looks interested*

They're actually very pretty and apparently more hardwearing than you'd think: http://simplywoodrings.com/

It's only pretty recently that the "white dress" tradition came in, and it seems to be going out of style now. Blue is supposed to be a lucky wedding colour, according to Snopes.

White makes me look jaundiced, anyway. Or maybe it's only the combination of navy and white (my school uniform - I looked like a zombie even before I started pulling all-nighters for exams), I don't know because I don't wear white clothes often.

My favourite weddings are some I saw on etiquettehell.com. Apparently there was a couple who were married in the family-owned grocery store, in full traditional wedding regalia, with the bride's mother sitting at the counter and continuing to conduct business throughout the whole ceremony. And another; "It was at the local courthouse, they stopped on the way there to buy milk and bread, and they wore regular clothes, the groom in jeans." Well, it's a lot less fuss than the usual way ... I think, if I get married, I'll deliberately try to make my wedding so horrifying someone sends it to etiquettehell.com.

Aw, the SO's so vulnerable...you characterize him very well. I always enjoy your scenes with the Flowers.

Yet another amazing installment. I remain utterly in awe of you, hS.

Insanity is quite normal for me. I live by the saying "No one is sane lest they know when to be insane at proper times."

Here, have a Shadow Spork. They're really sharp and they appear when places get underdefined. Really underdefined.

Soooooo...nice to have you onboard for the ride. It's going to be an insane, bumpy one. Hold on to yer Bleeprin.

And I saw that fic on Deleterius. Someone's already sporked it there, I think.

Yeah, some people are sporking "My Immortal" right now. SealRat was one them, I believe, and whatsherface...Mad Hattie. Yeah.

Well, nice to meet ya. *disappears*

And I certainly agree with kicking the sexist traditions. I don't want to wear white - not all white. If he's wearing a tux, I'll have a black-and-white dress... though I'd rather something with colour, like green or blue. Light blue. Like the Earth. And I don't want my father walking me down the aisle - I want to walk alone.

Bleh; I'm doing the opposite of you, but I agree. Very much so. Sexism really is old.

Most of my jewelery (and I don't have much) is sterling silver or steel, and I tend to turn it all red - oxidisation, I guess. It takes a few weeks, months if I'm lucky, but the inside of my watch is all red, and all the chains of my necklaces wear away to red eventually, too.

*ponders* So what would we call the Marvelverse Trojie? You need to have a superhero name, you know. ;p

Freaky about the ring size, but then again, from that picture of yourself you posted a while ago, I'd say we have pretty similar builds anyway, so it's not too surprising. Still amusing, though. Someday I'll send my non-existant fiance-to-be uo north to trade ring tips with Your Boy. Should be delightful. ;p

White gold... I don't think I've ever actually handled the stuff, so I can't say if I like it. Frankly, I'd be happy with steel, or anything else that will last, but that's not too romantic sounding.

But I want to! *looks pitiful with Big Puss-In-Boots Eyes*

I could never watch TOS; there were two episodes in the special features of the Voyager DVDs, and I watched them once, in part laughing hysterically, in part shaking my head in pain. Never saw the movies, and don't plan to.

The TNG movies... are okay. I like the series better. I HATED Nemesis. And I hate that TOS and TNG have multiple movies while DS9 and Voygaer haven't had ANY. But that's an old complaint and I'll shut up now...

Sounds like having the thing run up to you would be a tad painful...

Have a ypur. 'S a yak, but it's slightly smaller and has huge spiky horns. Oh, and it's blue. :D

Now, who's gonna be the judge, and where's our jury?

Similar here. Got in a huge fight with some of my classmates because they were referring to the minute sign (') and the second sign (") as "you know, those comma things."

One good thing came of this, however: I figured out how an AU!Ciri went insane. Too many people misused apostrophes around her and she flipped :)

Seriously though? If you start a militant wing of the APS, can I join? And... *shouts down the headpeople who want to know if kitchen scissors are acceptable weapons* Please don't mind them, they're just incredibly irritating...

What's a balaclava?

:)
C, who is hyper and ignorant, which is not a good combination

I really appreciate the feedback. With my college years coming to an end, I'm trying to get serious about this, because it's what I really want to do aside from my "real" job.

I've updated most of the summaries now, so I hope they're better. I did keep the "originally completed" dates on the ones that were written more than a year before I actually posted them. I agree that it was clutter in the case of the newer ones, but I think it's important to give an accurate sense of how I've changed (ideally "improved") over time.

Thanks again.
