In other news - Sarah, Nancy and I went to the Melting Pot for S' birthday. Still very evil and yummy, and gods do I love chocolate martinis. TEH YUM. All in all, a pretty good day. Now to crack down on writing, though I'm still waiting to hear back from Sammikins (kekeke) on More Precious...

To switch topics again, am I the only one that thinks the Nick cartoon Danny Phantom has so much potential it hurts to watch Nick not make full use of it? And I don't even necessarily mean in a slashy way, though there's plenty of room for that - I just mean in general. Man, if it was an anime it'd be angsty and cracky and cheezy in all the right ways. But it's no, sadly. I'm itching to write a fanfic for it, maybe I will eventually. With an older Danny, more tired and cynical and all that. Hmm...
