Darn it.

I fell on top of a woman on the train today - it was very embarrassing. I think I elbowed her in the face but she was very polite. But I paid for my reckless falling about by having a puncture (front wheel, phew). And, I failed to read the challenge properly for contrelamontre, again. Well, partly I think I didn't quite get it, because it was about using water as a base for a story, but water in terms of its astrological meaning. It seems a bit thing. Anyway, the resulting story has literal water in it and no water subtext. I simply can't post there again having read the challenge wrong, it's embarrassing - I seem to do it every week.

I've been reading daegaer's summary of 'Tention!, or A Story of Boy-Life During the Peninsula (*so* tempting to mispell) War. They're brilliantly funny, but I'm fast concluding that G Manville Fenn was really a bit naughty and that parts of his books were more than a little tongue in cheek. No one can be quite that innocent, can they?

Five kisses meme

From loads of people off my friends list, and they've all been fascinating to read. I like kissing - I'd even go so far as to say kissing is a definite kink for me, but looking at this selection of five kisses from my stories, it strikes me that they're not very descriptive of the kiss itself, but of what the characters are thinking, or smelling, or feeling. There's not much actual mechanical explanation of whose tongue is where, etc, in the later ones. In the earlier ones there is but I'm trying a bit too hard to fit in, I think.
