FYI to anyone who is following me on twitter, I’m closing that account. I haven't been on in months and there is just too much of the same thing over and over most of which I find on lj a few minutes later anyway.

On another note, I'm starting to love Lucas... he might actually work. I'm probably in the minority thinking that but... I liked him with Chase tonight.

I love poetry.

So this topic kind of kills me because I have so many favorites. However I think I'm going to pick Robert Frost’s "Death of a Hired Man" It’s a conversation between a farmer, Warren and his wife Mary about a hired man they’ve employed in the past whose come to ask for work (or to find a comfortable and familiar spot to die) Warren and Mary debate the meaning of the word “Home”. Warren, in the most famous line of the poem, says that “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” To which Mary replies, (and I always get goose bumps when I read it)

“I should have called it

Something you somehow haven’t to deserve.”

The idea that a place of comfort and peace is perhaps the one thing you shouldn’t have to work for or measure up to…makes me cry every time.  

Ok guys I was in the enviable position of being a beta to the Big Bang Fic Adagio by Kimbari

Which can be read here, http://housebigbang.panfandom.ca/fiction/adagio.htm 

And I can't recommend it more highly. It is the story of a love triangle between House, Cuddy and Julian a 30 year old ballet dancer who has the good sense to fall in love with Cuddy at first sight.  

Seriously guys, excellent LONG work (30k words) and complete. I admit I'm biased, I tend to volunteer to beta for really excellent writers (which makes gushing about what they write easier) but I you'll love it.  snark, sex, drama, dancing, sex, fighting, Jewish mothers, baby's...  I cry (and laugh) every time I read it.   

There are 14 other excellent fics at the archive to be read and enjoyed (and I'm looking forward to all of them, but no time to read and rec all tonight) and there are another 13 from last year so if you are looking for long fics of all descriptions this is very entertaining archive.

So, avidreadergirl, your LiveJournal reveals...



 

You are... 4% unique (blame, for example, your interest in stewert granger) and 14% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy wine). When it comes to friends you are normal. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.
 

Your overall weirdness is: 24

(The average level of weirdness is: 29.
You are weirder than 53% of other LJers.)

Last year I signed up for two fics for the Cuddy-Fest.  The first, "Living the Nightmare." I finished in time. Yay me :)  The second, barnburner for the prompt "Five times Cuddy really wanted to hit House and one time she did."  Remains unfinished and at this point it probably won't be. I figure if canon Cuddy has enough self-control to not punch House when he says "You'd make a great mother." in Joy or after the boob grab in LTEC, she isn't going too.

Since how Cuddy was compelled to use the password "partypants" for the PPTH main frame relates to the time (in my fic) that she did hit him and it came up in a discussion I'm posting it here.
 
This is a vignette, unfinished and unbetaed, and since I'm dysgraphic and have a doctor’s note that says punctuation is optional, when I say unbeated I really do mean read at your own risk.  You have been warned.
