So, my weekend has gone really well. Amazingly well. Stupendously well.
Hornets won the game Friday night. I was slightly tipsy off two very strong long island ice teas, but still didn't make any more of a fool out of myself then normal. The Boy was entertaining, and it felt just like old times when we talked all the time. He's warm and smells good, and that's not a setback, I'm just establishing facts.
The Foreign Service Written Exam went so much better yesterday. I think I've got a real shot this time around, though I'm trying desperately not to get too excited. I really really want to do this.
I'm working on Couple's Counseling the last installment of Couples Night and I'm just stuck. I made the mistake of writing out all of the dialogue first because that's the fun part that I think I'm good at, and now it's hard to go back and fill it in with the "he turned back to the window, determined not to see whatever was going through Cameron's face as he said..." and "gripped his shoulders pulling him in before Daniel could escape..."s. I suck, and tomorrow after class I will sit here until I get it done.
On a only slightly related note, has anyone here ever collaborated on a fic with someone else? I was thinking maybe I'd like to give it a shot in the near future after I can think of some terms and agreements to hold by. I was just wondering if ya'll enjoyed it, or if it was a pain. If it helped you as a writer etc...
I hate Aprils. It's like school/friends/work/weather all of it just realized there was only one more month until May and they need to squeeze in everything possible.

I just thought maybe ideas and plot devices would come easier with someone to bounce around ideas. Edited would be a fun back and forth I'd think. I was just curious, I know that a lot of ficcers as well as pros collaborate.
