I Am Awesome and I Have A Lizard

[unavoidedcrisis]

Bean and I finished the draft for our AU Big Bang fic. I can honestly say I have never been more excited for something I helped create in a long time. So it's got to be beta'd and then a few more edits, but then it's going to be DONE and it will have art and awesomeness and man pain.

In other news, I might have strep throat. First time in 2010 and it's April. That's actually a pretty good record. I haven't had any major illness yet this year. Go me and my shitty immune system.

This morning, Katie, Adam and I drove up to Sudbury. And I got a gecko. Yeeeeeah! She is actually a he, so my perfect name was dashed to pieces. And he's not a regular morph; he's actually a lot lighter. I think he is a very handsome fellow. He has a purple tail!

He actually likes being handled, which is cool. And you're holding him, he likes to lick the heck out of you. Right now, he's hunting some crickers. He's very ferocious.








So I'm super stoked about this. He desperately needs a name, of course. I like Leoben (a la Battlestar Galactica) or Clarence. His middle name will be Pepperoni because that is a kickass middle name. Thoughts?

After almost three weeks apart, Freddy got home this morning. I intend to cuddle him for hours.

He reminds me of the Geico Gecko. <3

Which makes sense because they're both geckos.

Hmm. True.

OMG HE'S SO CUTE!!!!

Especially in the second picture. <3


I have no name ideas, for I am sleep deprived and unable to think thoughts. BUT! Of your ideas I like Leoben Pepperoni. THAT'S AMAZING!

I am digging Leoben Pepperoni too. It's classy as hell. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I know, I can't believe I didn't get one earlier. He's so friendly and cuddly. Like, more than my cat is.

Congrstulstions on your big bang!!

Though, the tiny dinosaur? Will eat you.

[unavoidedcrisis.livejournal.com]

Thanks dear! I am quite proud.

And if I recall correctly, you always think things will eat you. Maybe I should call the lizard 'Zachariah'...

Oh my god, he's soo cool!

So cute! And he looks kind of huge... and has an awesome fat tail. XD

I think Clarence >>>> Leoben. Pepperoni is perfect with either.

He's adorable! Absolutely beautiful eyes. I like Clarence. Clarence Pepperoni. I often wish my cats had middle names so that I can yell their full names when they're being bad; you've planned this well.
And congrats on the big bang!

I think that I like Clarence... I had a fish named Calvin and it's in that same genre... they work for pets. Clarence Pepperoni the Great!
And FYI, I have an advantage... but I know you're BigBang will be/is AMAZINGLY AWESOMELY STUPENDOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
