That's right, after a week or more of eating fudge and fish, boogie-boarding, getting sunburned on the one part of my body I forgot to get with the suncreen and playing card games with relatives I didn't even know I had, (tell me, what's my mother's sister's husband's son-by-his-first-wife's step-daughter to me?) I am back to Nebraska, land of flatness, lack-of-ocean-ness, unbearably hot temperatures (temperature at the airport when I landed: 104 degrees F), and my internet connection (which forgives the first three points). *huggles her computer* Let's never be apart again.

Some notes on my return trip:
Strangly, Logan Airport has less (or at least less obvious) security than Lincoln Municipal Airport. On the way out, or checked bags were opened and checked for bombs and such. oN the way back, if this was done, it was after we checked them. This time I remembered to take off my Swiss Army Keychain.
Airport food is expensive. We paid $6 each for lunch -- about the quality of the Student Union's food. (where I can get lunch for under $3, if I'm not that hungry)
LAmbert Airport in St. Loius has the WORST BATHROOMS EVER. At least 1 stall in every bathroom I went into had an unflushed toilet, and the floor was covered in paper and other things. If you have to go, go on the plane.

I need to title the Escaflowne fanfic I'm writing for Jennie. And type it up for the beta-reader.

Some things that occured to me while my muse and the plot bunnies stayed home while I was on vacation. Keep in mind, many of these were inspired by my little brother's Yu-gi-oh video game (which I swear he broght everywhere, except the beach)

Yu-gi-oh/Stargate SG-1: Well, hey, they're both about Ancient Eygpt, right? That means you can write a fic where a bunch of trained US Air Force personell and assorted hangers on are forced to work with a bunch of game-playing Japanese teengers.

Yu-gi-oh!/Fushigi Yugi: A charming AU where Miaka must gather the seven Millenium Items to summon the gods... or Yugi has to find the Seven Stars of Suzaku and save the world by playing cards... I forget... but it has an insane number of male chracaters, and the fangirls go wild for them.

Escaflowne/Lord of the Rings: This one was mainly spawned off of the fact Emperor Dornkirk looks like movie Sauruman, and a quote from Return of the King reminded me of [livejournal.com profile] yuuo's characterization of Celena Schezar.

There were more, but I forgot them. I offer this to the Fanfic Writing Gods as a sacrifice so that the plot bunnes of good ideas will smile upon me. Or something.

Know how every popular fandom have awful OOC fanfic cliches? Somehow [livejournal.com profile] yuuo got me thinking how my comic would fair under the fangirls.

Did I Miss Any Cliches? )
I have too much time on my hand.
