Finally!

I guess not many have noticed my absence during the last weeks. I am not very active anyway. Shame on me.

But to make a long story short:

It was on July 17 that I was on the way to a bakery for some biscuits and cake when I suddenly stumbled and fell. Being in shock, I was lying in the middle of the sidewalk, no one else around, and I tried to sort out what had happened.

1. Glasses - check - everything okay
2. I need to stand up ... but I couldn't because my right arm hurt like hell.
3. What's that? A gap between my teeth? One of my incisors gone??? Help!
4. I NEED to get up and go home again to check this out. But there is blood on my bag and the pavement. Not good.
5. Finally, a car crossed the road... and passed without noticing me—only sometime later another two cars which thankfully stopped.
6. Two (young?) guys, one of them talked with me, while the other called the ambulance.
7. I was too confused to protest when they told me I had to go to the hospital for a check.
8. Emergency room. It became clear quickly that I had two minor lacerations (under my eye and at my upper lip). And a broken arm. Twice. With a dislocated elbow. The right one, of course.
9. Emergency operation, bones fixed with nails and plate.

I had to stay at the hospital for three days; since then, I have been at home. The first two weeks were difficult, but then it slowly started to get better. Still not okay, but at least I can be back at the PC for some time every day. I've already started making some icons and banners, and it works okay as long as I'm not overdoing it.

Yeah! I have missed it. And I hope to start writing again soon (not that I've written much lately ;), but it's a difference if you are not in the mood to write or if you can't write at all)

End of the story.

Lands of Magic Challenge 10.02

If I had a million dollars

Write a list of at least five things a character would do with a mega-million (billion) dollar windfall.

Surprise! I will go with three characters of The Faculty (yes, I know, I am boring, sorry). Please notice: the lists will be slightly AU because they are based on the fanfiction I write.

1. Casey Conner
- restoring the old farm of his grandparents because it's the place he felt most happy during his childhood
- moving to New York or San Francisco, any place where he can finally feel free and live the life he wants (maybe together with his secret one and always crush Zeke?!)
- buying all the photo equipment he can only secretly dream about
- visiting the most famous photo schools to learn from the best
- with the rest, he would support other people, like underrated young artists who are waiting for their chance or talented children coming from poor circumstances

2. Zeke Tyler (The Faculty)
Well, I am sure...
- after some time of wild parties and pouring money down the drain, he would finally realize that it is about time to grow up, and he would go back to highschool to graduate
- restoring his old GTO (which got crashed during the alien incident) instead of buying a new one
- officially starting his own business instead of secretly brewing Scat in his garage
- looking for ways to secretly support Casey because he knows this little geek would never accept any help from him
- finally, he would leave Ohio behind, move to New York or San Fransisco, starting an exciting new life (hopefully together with Casey ;))

3. Stokely Mitchell (The Faculty)
- buying lots of black dresses with a touch of red, after Stan told her that she looks great in it
- buying a house for her mother and her little siblings
- visiting workshops about writing led by her most famous authors
- self-publishing her first SciFi novel
- making her most geeky dream come true: a trip into outer space
