So I'm in a long splint for another week. I know I've appeared online a couple of times but my typing is super slow with my right hand. I'm usually on vicadin during the day and extremely sleepy. I start my non-stress tests this week at the OB. I'm officially 36 weeks pregnant and considered full term but I will probavly be casted through John's birth, if he's on time. Otger than that life is okay. Tim's working and I don't have to do housework.

Okay, this is desperation but Jen sorely needs a date of the male consort. Any single guys in the realm of Valesco? I promise she isn't crazy. I just don't want to give Stell a heart attack or have Tobias kill something. <.< >.>

OOC Meme from Ron's batch!

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 22:41:06 GMT

What sort of character would you like to see me play? It can be a stereotype, it can be a general description, OR you can choose a specific name (I'd like to see you play ____). Then, tell me why!

Another meme stolen from Cristina

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 18:48:35 GMT

Here's how it happens. You give me a couple, any couple (so long as I've played one of the characters) and I'll write a drabble around 100 words about them in reply to your comment. This can be ANY couple (anything.. shippiness or cuteness or whatever), and it can have been a game-canon couple, or something completely off-the-wall. I do back-history, I do future, and I do AU crack. If you want a particular theme or rating, let me know. The ratings will be anywhere from G to uh, well I suppose NC-17 but I dunno if I can get that in 100ish words.

/ = Shippyness and "and" means ordinary interaction

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:37:41 GMT

Pick a character (present, past) and I will tell you their:
01.) Full name?
02.) Best friend?
03.) Sexuality?
04.) Favorite color?
05.) Relationship status?
06.) Ideal mate?
07.) Turn-ons?
08.) Last sexual experience?
09.) Favorite food?

25 Flavors: Innocent (Jen)

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:26:50 GMT

Florence arched to the touch and tried not to moan out. They were in her parents home and this love was brand new. She was nervous and excited about each feeling Smeth gave her. She sighed and leaned up and kissed him gently. "Before you say anything," she told him, "Yes, I'm sure and yes I want this." Her hands stroked up and down his arms and she took several deep breath as she prepared to lose her innocence.

STOLEN MEME!

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 05:41:43 GMT

Give me a decision any of my characters has made in the past and I'll tell you what would have happened had they chosen differently.

And also, this one!

Give me a situation we've talked about that could have actually happened in Valesco canon, history, and future. How did this happen? Why did they do that? What was going through their mind?

100 Questions.

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 01:16:42 GMT

Part 1: The Basics

1. What is your full name? Florence Jenavive Gibbon.

2. Where and when were you born? I was born on April 1st, 1960 in Manchester.

3. Who are/were your parents? My father is Francis Gibbon and my mother is Jenavive Gibbon.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? I'm the youngest of three. Tobias, is the oldest and can be a bit of a pain. He's over-protective. Estella, who's the middle child is almost like my best friend. I tell her absolutely everything.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people. In a flat in London that I had before I moved to Rome that I was smart enough to keep and keep up on (revolving around rent.) I currently live alone and I think I kind of like the solitude. After being with someone for so long it feels nice. It's as modern as I can make it. Random paintings/murals hang around and everything is art deco. Blues and blacks are everywhere and I have a beautiful cherry four poster bed.

6. What is your occupation? I'm a hair stylist and I fiddle around with arrangements of flowers on the side. I like to think I'm pretty good at both.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. I'm about 5'4" with light brown hair and icy blue-green eyes. I'm caucasian and I generally wear black slacks with a silk blouse. When I'm around the house it's a t-shirt and sweats. I'm always wearing make-up. I don't have any tattoos. I have a small scar on my left ankle from shaving.

8. To which social class do you belong? My family is upper middle-class but I think I'm classified as lower middle-class. I don't really care as long as I'm content with my life why should I?

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? I'm allergic to cherries. My weakness is probably crying men. It's not really physical but it's a horrible thing.

10. Are you right- or left-handed? I'm left-handed to the extent where it's hard to function otherwise.

11. What does your voice sound like? My voice? I don't know, feminine? I don't really listen to myself talk.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? Probably, oh my God and what the hell? I can't really think of anything else that pops into my head.

13. What do you have in your pockets? My wand, a pair of scissors in my breast pocket and a piece of chocolate.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Probably the fact that I can sing any song that comes on the radio. Muggle or not. It can be annoying. A quirk that I have? I don't like going out of the house not dressed up. Most of my money goes to my clothing and make up.

Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general? Sometimes I miss the simplicity of it. Playing in the backyard with Smeth and eating dinner every night. I was always jealous that Susie and Tobias were so much older than I was. In general though? It was a good childhood.

16. What is your earliest memory? I have a horrible memory but the thing that sticks out in my mind is when I first realized I had a crush on someone. We were playing outside the backyard in the sandbox and it just kind of hit me.

17. How much schooling have you had? I'm finished with Hogwarts and I finished my beautician license shortly after I left Hogwarts. It wasn't that hard -- I don't really have any intention of getting anything else.

18. Did you enjoy school? To a point I enjoyed Hogwarts. It was tough, some of the stuff I just struggled with. I'm horrible at Transfiguration. I don't use it on a day to day basis anyway. I absolutely loved Beautician's School. It was like I had finally found something that I was meant for -- my life's calling.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? Hogwarts and Beautician's school. I'm still learning my "street smarts". I'm only nineteen, I have a long way to go.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them. Estella. I wanted to be exactly like her. She was so cool to me. She embodied everything I wanted to be. Cool, smart and honest. I still look to her as a role model.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? In my earlier years, swimmingly. As I started dating I began to hate Tobias. He scared almost all the boys away, except for the ones that counted.

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I was honestly, never totally sure. At one point I thought I wanted to be a healer but the work was too hard. I didn't realize that I was meant to be a hair-stylist until I started doing hairdos for other girls in my year.

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities? Playing house, running around the backyard looking like a fool with Smeth and our other playmates. I liked flying as long as Quidditch wasn't involved. I'd prefer to fly somewhere if I'm given the choice.

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display? Loyal. I used to take the blame for some of the things Stell did that would've gotten her in trouble. I was always outspoken and didn't have a problem with telling someone else that I didn't like them. It still gets me in trouble.

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like? The only one I can remember right now off the top of my head is Smeth. I don't know if I was popular. It's not something I ever worried about, just having fun was my main priority.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss? Sirius Black. That was an interesting first kiss, let me tell you. Getting caught was something that was even more interesting on top of that.

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? I lost my virginity in my sixth year when Smeth and I dated for about six months. A late bloomer, I suppose, compared to others.

28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.

Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? Realizing how much of a moron I was after ~~Ron~~ Johnny dumped me. It was a serious wake up call to how naive I was being about the entire relationship. ~~I realized that I was still in love with Smeth.~~ I realized that London was my home and always would be.

30. Who has had the most influence on you? Influence? I don't know probably my life experiences and Stell. I want to make my own mistakes and not let someone else tell me what's right and wrong.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Getting home from Rome with very little money.

32. What is your greatest regret? Leaving for Rome the way I did. Leaving for Rome period. Having little contact with my family and friends during that year period. ~~Not talking to Marlene enough.~~

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done? The goodbye note I left for Smeth while he was working.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind? Nope...wait. Yeah, I got arrested in Rome for being rowdy one night at a party Johnny was having.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened? When I was on the steps at the Vatican trying to figure out my life and how in the hell I was going to get home. I spoke very little Italian and it was broken. I had about 3 Lira in my pocket and no Galleons. I was absolutely screwed.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? When whoever the hell walked in on Sirius and I and caught us kissing. My first kiss and someone caught me! That's what I get for making out with someone in a broom closet.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? Do I really have to get into this? I really don't want to. If you're reading this you can probably figure it out.

38. What is your best memory? Getting on the Hogwarts train for the first time. I was so scared and so excited. All I can remember thinking is that i didn't want to be in Slytherin. ~~I didn't like Tobias' friends and I still don't.~~

39. What is your worst memory? Falling off a broom when we were being taught how to fly that first year. I knew how to fly and I was just nervous and klutzy. The entire class laughed at me and I ended up running off and out of the class.

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic? I like to think I'm neutral but in all reality I'm generally pessimistic. I think of the worst possible outcome and then expect it.

41. What is your greatest fear? Living the rest of my life alone. Not being able to grow old with someone and watch my children have children and hopefully my children's children have children.

42. What are your religious views? I believe in God but I don't attend any type of religous sect's mass/sermon or whatever. God knows who I am and knows what I do. Why should I have to worship him at an altar to tell him so?

43. What are your political views? I hate killing. I hate anything that has the word "You-Know-Who" in it.

44. What are your views on sex? Enjoyable but should be enjoyed with someone you care about. Meaningless sex leaves you empty and wanting more.

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? No, I'd never be able to kill. Under no circumstances is killing an answer. There are worse ways of seeing someone shrivel and decay than killing them. Take Azkaban for example. Even thinking of that place gives me the shivers.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? Kill someone because of their opinons, beliefs, blood line, etc.

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? Absolutely. There's one person who's your soul mate. That doesn't mean you can't find love but it won't ever be the same.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life? Being happy and being loved. Money isn't important.

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)? I hide myself from no one. If I did I'd feel empty. if I hide myself how will someone get to know who I am? I don't change myself for anyone. If they don't like me then it's not the end of the world.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices? I suppose I have a prejudice against You-Know-Who and the evilness that surronds him and his followers.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? Two things actually. I absolutely refuse to give anyone a mullet as a haircut. It's the most disgusting haircut known to man and no man or woman should be allowed to wear that atrocious hairstyle. Two, anal sex. Exit only. 'Nuff said.

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? My loved ones. I won't exclude this to my family because there are certain people outside of my family that I would die for or go to an extreme for.

Part 5: Relationships With Others

53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how? I like to think I treat all human beings the same. I don't base judgement on blood like some do but if I don't like you I'm generally pretty rude to you. Hell, sometimes I'm rude to you if I do know you. I'm polite to my elders because they're my elders and deserve my respect but otherwise I'm just me.

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Hard to say. There are a lot of important people for several different reasons.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Estella. She tries so hard not to judge and loves you no matter what you do. She's raising Jacob on her own and is slowly getting her life together. She holds my highest respect.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. Um, that'd take way too long. I'm not doing this. I don't want to. You can't make me, ha.

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person. At the moment? No one techinally, though I have someone in mind. He's the sweetest person I've ever known. ~~Why was I stupid enough to hurt him?~~

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. I've been in love since I was like six. So it's kind of hard to explain. I don't really remember the reaction it's just always kind of been there crawling.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover? Kindness, a sense of humor, the ability to accept me for who I am.

60. How close are you to your family? Stell and I are close. Tobias I'm semi-close with. I really don't talk to my parents anymore and they don't talk to me. So it's about 50/50.

61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? No and I'd like to but I know I have some time to do that. I'm only nineteen I have my entire life in front of me. ~~Hopefully.~~

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? Stell or Smeth but even when that happened I was too stubborn to.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? Tobias because he always has.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? Hopefully my friends from school but the people I know for a fact would be Stell, Jacob, Tobias ~~hopefully~~, Caleigh and I think that's about it.

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? You-Know-Who, for obvious reasons.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? I argue and then I talk it out. I don't stay angry long but I won't avoid the confrontation. I rather talk out my feelings that let it sit and fester.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Not really. Never have, never will. Not my cuppa.

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? I'd rather be an intimate conversation with someone, getting to know them better. In big groups things tend to get overlooked and you don't a real taste for the people you're with.

69. Do you care what others think of you? Only the people I care about. Otherwise everyone can go suck a toe.

Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes? Cutting hair, creating floral arrangements, writing in my journal.

71. What is your most treasured possession? My first pair of scissors that I was given after I graduated.

72. What is your favorite color? Blues and black.

73. What is your favorite food? Escargot or Chicken Alfredo.

74. What, if anything, do you like to read? The journals, the paper, romance novels.

75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)? A museum and art shows. Nothing beats looking at art done by other people and thinking about buying that piece to help that person make it in the world. Critcizing it and giving it your own meaning.

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit? Nope, I'm clean. I picked up a cigarette once and I hated it and threw it out.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night? Sitting at home or I'm at Estella's helping her out with Jacob.

78. What makes you laugh? Honestly? Muggles. They tickle me and how simple things are over there. Airplanes to travel? Silly.

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself? Read a romance novel. I've done it before. ~~Sex.~~

81. How do you deal with stress? I've had one or two nervous breakdowns but otherwise I can deal with it. Work stress is easy. Personal stress? Not so much.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? Generally, a plan.

83. What are your pet peeves? Pureblood mania. Slurping. Chewing chips with your mouth open.

Part 7: Self Images And Etc.

84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted? I wake up, I go to work. I write in my journal, eat dinner, read, go to bed.

85. What is your greatest strength as a person? My loyalty.

86. What is your greatest weakness? My loyalty.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Probably my hands, I think they're man-ish.

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.

91. Do you like yourself? usually.

92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? (If so, detail both sets of reasons...) Ah, I'm scared of adventure.

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? Having a happy, well balanced family.

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hopefully married.

95. If you could choose, how would you want to die? In the arms of someone I love.

(You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice...) Just don't let the little things get you down. Live life as it's meant to be lived not worrying about everything. Everything will work out.

25 Flavors: Drunk

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:43:27 GMT

Florence giggled as she looked at the man who had asked her out to dinner. He was charming and she couldn't help but be swept away by the romanacing she was being given by Ron. He poured more wine into her glass and waved the waiter away. He really was famous. They were in the back of the Covent with no one bothering them except for the occasional waiter.

He was American and there was just something charming about how harsh the American accent was. So different from Smeth, she frowned. She wouldn't think of Smeth tonight. She was on a date with a famous muggle. This wasn't the time to be thinking of boyfriend and drank more wine. She was drunk and had lost most of her inhibitions.

Ron judged Florence's condition for a moment and grinned. It had worked. She was completely intoxicated. Now would be the time. She had mentioned the boyfriend she was seeing before but it didn't matter because hell, he was Ron Jeremy and could convince any woman to go anywhere in the world with him. "So Jen...how would you like to go to Rome with me and live while I shoot...a movie?"

Florence's eyes widened at the thought of it and chewed on her lower lip for a moment, "I don't know Ron. That's an awfully big step on my part and I'd be leaving everything." Damnit, Ron thought to himself she was still reasonable. He nodded in agreement not showing his anger, "Of course, of course. Why don't we discuss this more at my place?"

She was drunk enough not to care about the implied innuedo and nodded. "Alright. I think I can agree to that." He was staying in a muggle hotel and if things got ugly she could always scream. She wasn't stupid enough to use her magic on muggles even if she was drunk. Ron dropped several bills on the table and offered his hand to Florence drawing her close for a moment and tickling her face with his beard making her giggle for a moment.

They walked out of the room and through Covent Garden back to Ron's hotel room. Little did Florence know that this would be the last time she strolled through London for almost a year. That night she would agree to fly to Rome with Ron Jeremy, leaving the world she knew behind.

25 Flavors: Florence (best friend)

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:29:28 GMT

For the longest time he had been her best friend. Her confidante when she didn't feel comfortable talking to her mother or her sister but every time she saw him with someone else this feeling came and spread throughout her body. It was as something was curling in her chest and aching to burst out. She watched him with his new girlfriend and tried not to shoot glares behind their back. She was obvious to everyone in the room except for the person she wanted to know she was being obvious.

So until the day she could finally admit her feelings for him. The feelings that she'd had since she was barely five years old. She'd continue to be his best friend. His confidante and shoulder to cry on when he and his latest girlfriend broke up. Florence would be in the background just a little longer. She would bide her time and claim Smeth for her own. Until that day she kept her smile in place and walked over to Smeth and his new girlfriend, pretending to be the happy best friend.

25 Flavors: First Year (Requested by Cristina)

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:11:38 GMT

Florence wished that Estella was by her side and she gnawed on her lower lip. She was nervous and all she wanted to do was hold Susie's hand but she couldn't Susie was too big for that and according to Susie so was she. So she stood just out the Great Hall in a corridor standing as close to Smeth as she could possibly get. It wasn't that Smeth was bad, it was just that Susie would be better she'd already been here for four years and knew what was going on. At least Susie wasn't mean enough to tell her some of the stories she heard the other children talking about. Though as each story went on, pumped by fear, she began to believe the ridiculous stories that she would later laugh about.

Professor McGonagall walked out and said in her brisk tone, "First years, follow me." She fell into line and looked around for Susie and found her sitting at the Slytherin table and tried to wave at her but Susie couldn't see her and she put her hand back down and scooted closer just a little bit. The crush was there but it was just in her subconscious and hadn't fully developed yet.

Professor McGonagall began to read off names "Black, Sirius" and Gryffindor was called as a Hat was placed on his head. That wouldn't be so bad. She snorted slightly. That was it? Those children believed anything she thought to herself! She had thought of Slytherin and her parents didn't really care what house she went into but she didn't really want to be in there with all those nasty people that she'd seen Tobias hang out.

"Bobbin, Abigail!" was the next name called and she was sorted into Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff wouldn't be so bad she thought to herself. Tobias never talked kindly of them but as she looked over at the table she saw people smiling and patting their backs and being a little more kindly than the other tables seemed to be. She continued to gnaw on her lip as she thought.

Finally her name was called, "Gibbon, Florence!" She flinched slightly, she hated her given name and smiled at Smeth as she walked up the stairs and sat down on the stool. The Hat was placed on her head and within seconds the Hat screamed out "Hufflepuff!" and she went to go join the other Hufflepuffs and sat with the other first years who had already been placed into Hufflepuff.
