“The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,

I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world.”

~Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

I have this thing for characters. I can’t explain it. They get into my head and run around until I put them on paper. It’s not always pretty, but it’s usually entertaining. And they’re usually not mine—that’s why they end up here. So look around, review, and enjoy!

My current addictions: the new Dr. Who--first story up now.

My long-term, committed addictions: Remington Steele, Moonlighting

My all time favorites: Indiana Jones, James Bond

My one night stands: old school Star Wars (who can resist Harrison Ford?), MASH, House

I am also a recovering Harry Potter fan.

I am horrendous at meeting deadlines, even the ones I set myself, so my postings tend to be sporadic and grouped.

Note: By my reckoning, I owe one ML/RS fic, as well as quite a few review responses, and I need to catch up on my reading. I'm just beginning to finish the last of my summer writing projects, so please be patient with me. I'll be back strong in a month or so.

And because I’d rather read great one liners than talk about myself, enjoy the following compilation. PM me, and I’ll give you the citations, but no—really—they’re not mine…

Favorite Quotes:

Dr. Who:

Capt. Jack: Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, oooo, this could be a little more sonic?

Rose: No, you're not keeping the horse.
Doctor: I let you keep Mickey!

Capt. Jack: Well, I've got a banana and in a pinch, you could put up some shelves.

Doctor: Allons-y!

Doctor: Is that what I am now? Am I rude? Rude and not a ginger…

Mickey: What’s a horse doing on a spaceship?
Doctor: Mickey, what’s pre-revolutionary France doing on a spaceship? Get a little perspective.


Remington Steele:

RS: Five minutes to get through a hospital standard? If the union ever got wind of this…

RS: First you deflate my duck, and now you want to cook my goose. Wonderful.

Murphy: I heard fighting, so I knew Mommy and Daddy must be home.

LH: Ethics. You’re obviously unfamiliar with the word, never mind the concept.

LH: I don’t know what to say.
RS: Say yes and let me make up the question?

RS: She was in a negligee and you still thought it was Miss Holt?

LH: Why are they shooting at us?
RS: Because we’re kissing! Someone always shoots at us when we’re kissing!

LH: Don’t do anything reckless in the meantime.
RS: I might, just to annoy you.


Moonlighting:

DA: Hey, don’t take this the wrong way, but you kinda remind me of a Pontiac I used to own…

MH: I hate you. I despise you. I loathe the ground under which you burrow!

DA: Are we not speaking to each other now? Why am I always the last one to know these things?

DA: Whoa, lady—I will gladly get you off this train—I will throw you off this train if necessary, but please refrain from any physical act that is not of an erotic nature.

MH: First clump of dirt on your coffin—I want to be the one to throw it.

MH: Why does this keep happening?
DA: For the same reason Christmas keeps happening—because it’s terrific, that’s why!

DA: Not only are you a sexist, but you are the sexiest sexist it has ever been my good fortune to satirize.
MH: Satirize!
DA: Satirize, scrutinize, fantasize—etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…

MH: Wouldn’t want you losing anymore sleep over me.
DA: Believe me; if and when I ever find myself over you, the last thing I’ll be thinking about is sleeping.

DA: If anyone’s going to buzz Miss Hayes, it’s gonna be me.
