Tiny, Random Post of Randomness

Because of how my brain works, I somehow ended up finding it absolutely necessary to research military issue glow sticks for this story I'm writing. Specifically, if they have clips or not. (They do. \o/)

This has been amusing me all day.

And now I want a glow stick. A blue one. With a clip.

um...So...do you already have the goggles?

I would very much like to read this story!

:-)

You mean, for the groovy infrared glow stick? No, I'm afraid not. But the other colours are visible to the naked eye. :)

I'm flattered you'd like to read this thing! Thank you. I should warn you, it's fanfic. (You know I write fanfic, right? It's not like it's much of a secret or anything.)

It's a sequel to the stories you can find here, aaaalllll the way at the bottom of the intro post I've linked you to. (This is the notes post for the first story, BTW. I'm working on the fifth story in a series.)

It is fanfic, just to be clear. :) And you are therefore completely not obliged to read it.

Cool!
I'm finishing up a homework assignment right now. As soon as I'm done, I'm reading!!
This particular assignment was difficult for me. I wonder why I have an aversion to outlines? Wierd.
Almost done!

Congratulations!

I've always hated outlines, too, so I know where you're coming from. It feels like its killing the creativity for me, having to think about the project in such detail before it gets started.

It's SO much more difficult than just sitting down and writing the damn paper!! And of course every class insists on the process...ugh. I have a headache. I've studied/read for days now and felt perfectly confident about everything except that blasted outline!!
But now it's done...such as it is.

Hey, congratulations. :D I'm sorry it was such a hassle, though.

Not exactly a glow stick, but maybe item no. 7 on this list (http://oddee.com/item_96561.aspx) would suit? :D

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Hee! Those are fantastic! Not quite right for these purposes (stumbling around the bottom of a flooding ravine in the dark), but there are actually characters in the story who would want one for their desk. :)

For a cheap thrill, clip one to the end of a long piece of string and swing it over your head like a lariat. WHEEEEE!!!

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

LOL. Not exactly what they need at the moment, but thank you for the suggestion. :)

I'm disappointed in you for not taking your research seriously! How can you claim to have investigated military-issue glow sticks without having bought one and played with it! *hmphf* I'll expect better next time, do you hear me?

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, you're right. I'm ashamed of myself. I was thinking of buying a batch of 5,000, but I didn't think my accountant would believe me that it was work expenses.
