I think I've lost the right to my "honorary man" card. I need to get over this obsession with shoes and articles of clothing with an internal structure of their own. Yes, I've admitted before that I would live in corsets if I could, but I caught myself actually considering the logistics of it a few days ago.

And then yesterday, I bought these shoes. No, I didn't need them (though I do need a pair of sneaker-y things). Yes, they were on sale, and I used the gift card my Secret Santa (from work) toward them, so they only cost me about $18 of real money. And I did this while on the phone with kashmir_ki_kali, and she can vouch for the sheer girlyness I was exhibiting at the time.

I think this counteracts my proficiency with power tools (cutting steel is fun! nail guns are just so cool!), my gamer tendencies, my ridiculously furry legs. (My hair is value neutral; it's long, but I don't get girly about it.) I'm ashamed of myself.

On the other hand, I'm listening to this song, and my brain immediately labels Javert Lawful Good and Valjean Chaotic Neutral. So, apparently, I'm a girly geek (geeky girl?). Bah.

That sounds great!

What's the story, I haven't seen it.

The AU is called the Middle Path Universe over all. The first story is "Stepping on the Path" which starts everything off right in the middle of Abyss. But I'm starting to feel like I'M in an abyss cause everyone is avoiding it because of the headings and not even TRYING to read it.

Tell you what my husband, who understand the intricacies of LJ MOUNDS more than I do, is going to help me get it organized in a new journal the way I want it. LJ is giving me fits all over the place.....everybody thinks since I've had an account, and sometimes a paid account, since 2001 that I know LJ. I barely know how to do a cut! I don't know anything.

All I ask is that you give it a try. It's a crossover, an AU,an openended series, has got several original characters with one original female character who happens to be named Ariana. And the only reason that the name on THIS account is Ariana was because the journal was made when I was deep in her developement phase and roleplaying her to make her a 'real' character. But if I'm a good enough writer, which I've been working at for 20 odd years to be.....then I should be able to pull these off.

So i hope that you will give the Middle path a chance. I'll make sure you know when the new journal is up and running. And even better when I get the website with all the illustrations I'm commissioning and other neat stuff on it. There is a mock up of one of the pages, the timeline of the Family O'Malley, if you want to look at it: http://web-boulevard.com/mockup/themiddlepath/timeline.htm

And pass you mouse pointer over the medallions, there's some suprise links there. See if you like.

Oh, I know why I'd missed it. *facepalm* I know fuck-all about Highlander, so I skipped it. Is it important to know that fandom?

(I'm doing an AU crossover yadda right now, too, and no one's reading it either. I know the feeling.)

Course not! Jack and Daniel don't know any more about Immortals than you do so of course it's all explained, bit by bit so it doesn't get boring. Anyway I trash some MAJOR Highlander canon, which is why I haven't DARED post on any of the Highlander sites. but if you combine these two universes this way it's very logical. You'll see.

Heh, I'm actually gettin better reations from people I sent it to that don't know EITHER show. I just got an email from one that I just met on a DeVinci Code site that said he couldn't put it down till he was finished. What have I done? And what do I DO with it?LOL

Happy holidays!
