birthdays, fandoms i wouldn't usually touch with a 10ftpole, caps

the penalty for refusing to say what you want for your birthday should be that you get what the giver would want if it were their birthday.  :grumble:

i barely even noticed that i stopped posting my star trek caps.  i was just SO BUSY reading badfic, i couldn't take half an hour off to cull the last two episodes' worth!  maybe i'll fix that soon.

ever since wax_jism mentioned that miriam_heddy expressed shock at the concept of numb3rs incest i've been hoping the very talented lady in question would produce some charlie/larry.  she finally did!  i haven't read it yet. it's quite short.  ...so i lied.  this brings the total of Things I Ever Read In The Fandom up to two.

yeah, wax_jism's birthday is the day after tomorrow.  but you know, i really kind of want to bake this chocolate cake today.
