I think it's time to start using this again, and maybe even regularly.

I'm stressed about having quit smoking.  I'm stressed about being unemployed.  Perhaps an outlet of the online journal variety is just the thing.  Is everybody still on LJ?  It seems to have held its own if the fanfic commentaries are any indication.  

I haven't been writing, but I never stopped reading.  However,  I almost never comment on fic because I always feel weird about doing so because I'm always WAY late to the party.  I generally come to fic through forum recs, but usually months late.  So let me apologize to all the authors whose work I have read and loved but never commented on.  I'll try to be better about that.

I'd also like to thank the HHoW crowd for reccing so much excellent fic.  And this may be way overdue, but thanks also to the heroic founders of HHoW who created a haven for obsessive House fans that is so much better than That Other Place had become.  If I could, I'd buy you each a delicious beverage of your choosing.  :)

I guess that's all for now.  Commentary on qutting smoking coming soon.

But since it hasn't, here is a drabble that was written awhile ago, but never set free until now.  Despite all my good intentions when I started this journal, I have been a total wuss about actually posting any of my fic.  So ::deep breath:: here it is.  It's all dialogue and it is totally unbetaed because, again, huge wuss, etc. 

The Begging:  It needs to be tested if it's ever to survive in the wilds, so please read, please comment, please make with the concrit.     

The Obligatory:  One day I plan to win the lottery and to pay some mafia types to kidnap the entire cast and crew of House, including Doris Egan, take them to an island somewhere, and force them to write/produce/perform story lines of my choosing.  
On that day, I will own House.  Also, I will have pwnd David Shore.  
Alas, today is not that day.
