Thoughts

It just occurred to me: In 15 days I will be leaving for my first ever Transformers Con, and this will be the first time I have ever travelled by plane alone ... in fact, this is the first time I've ever gone on a trip alone (going to and from University doesn't really count). I'm suddenly feeling just a tad nervous.

Silly, really. I mean, I'm a grown woman. Taking a plane to another city shouldn't be a big deal. Staying in a big hotel room by myself for five days shouldn't be a big deal. Manoevering around Ottawa, O'Hare, and Cincinnati International Airports alone shouldn't be a big deal. And yet, somehow all of this is.

The What-ifs are starting to infect my dreams again. Some of them are valid while some are patently ridiculous, and some are just spawning from my own self-esteem issues. It's not a big deal, but as usual, I'm making a mountain out of a molehill.

I suppose that it doesn't help any that I don't like plane travel. I love to fly, and those little prop-jets and puddle-jumpers and beachcraft and two-man gliders are just the best little vehicles ever invented! I adore those little planes! But those big planes *shudder* I hate those. They fly by magic and I don't trust magic. And don't go telling me about thrust and lift. I understand those concepts just fine, I just don't think they apply to vehicles that weigh several tonnes. ... Yeah, laugh it up, I won't change my mind on this one *snerk*

Seriously though, I know this trip'll be great. I will enjoy myself so much that the time will just go by way too quickly. I will get to meet all my new friends from LJ and the Cell. It'll be totally great. ... so why am I so nervous?

Some people have way too much time on their hands ...

... myself included apparently.

I suppose that this shouldn't surprise me, but it does. Someone is attempting to translate the bible into LOLCAT ... I just don't know what to think anymore ...

( I can haz bible? -- warning: may cause loss of braincells )

And they are apparently contemplating translating the Koran too. Yeah, that'll go over well ...

[fic] The Devil You Know, Chapter 30

Title: The Devil You Know

Series: G1 universe, focusing on Original characters

Rating: R

Summary: In the early days of the civil war on Cybertron, Sentinel Prime authorized several refugee vessels to take Neutrals away from the planet in hopes that they could start peaceful colonies where they would be safe. Many of these refugees were never heard from again; lost to us through time and distance. But history does record the fate of one of the vessels. The Stormchaser was three orns away from its destination when it was shot down by Decepticons in an act of cowardice and deceit. There were no survivors. That is what history tells us. But in this case, history is wrong.
