It is ages since I've written here, to be honest I'm not even sure anyone reads it anymore, but I guess I hate to let go of things I've got used to and LJ is part of my SG1 fandom which is still very dear to me because in truth was the first one I really got involved with. Now people have scattered and found new interests but I still treasure this little part of my life and the people I got to know through it.
Starting with fandoms then I have been spending more time than it is healthy reading Spock/Uhura fics. I had no idea what to expect of the new ST film so went with no expectations and certainly no spoilers and it was a revelation. Fell in love with the film and the characters, specially those two although Bones is a close second :-) I just love the intensity, the angst, the subtlety of their relationship. It's official, Spock/Uhura are my new Sam/Jack!
At home things are ... interesting. Between a grumpy,overworked mr jafacakes, a hormonal, rude 17year old daughter that thinks the sun revolves around her, a growing 15 year old son with a particular view of the world and a 7 year old that doesn't understand she is not a teenager and certain attitudes will not be tolerated by me not matter how much she "cries" or shouts or pleads unfairness , life goes on throw all the bumps and occasional muddy patches.
Things are good too , after spending a week free of minijc2 , who was at ccf camp (combined cadet force, in other words , playing soldiers through school) I realized life is so quiet and calm without him around it doesn't quite seem real, and while I enjoyed the stress free week I missed him terribly and couldn't wait for him to come back.
Minijc3 achieved a milestone while (because?) he was away, finally she can ride her bike.
Umm, time to start the school run , so the rest will have to come latter. Hope you are all well, flist :-) , I enjoy your virtual company :-)

Glad you're all well. It's amazing how much a family dynamic changes when one child is away, isn't it? The surprising thing is that our two younger kids get on much better when the eldest isn't around (as has been the case a lot lately between university and work). I would never have expected that.
Yes you are right the family dynamic realy changes. In my case minijc1 has a calming influence on minijc2 because she sort of translates the world for him in a way. We have a real problem with minijc2 picking on minijc3 and there was no doubt we were all much more relaxed while he was away.
Are you still writing?
I still haven't seen the Star Trek movie. I guess I won't be seeing in the theater. Oh well. I think I'm too hooked on the original series, even as corny as it was. Bones (DeForest Kelley) was my silly teenage crush. Even way back then I was chasing the older men. So I guess I did get wrapped up in another show before. Wow, I've forgotten how obsessed I was about the show! I still have books that I bought about the show, complete with my scribbles and doodles. :p
So there's a Spock/Uhura thing going on in the movie? I never got that impression from the show. But then again, I was usually a bit distracted by a certain doctor! ;) I guess I'll do a rewatch of the episodes and see if I can see any hint of a ship.
Ah, life with teenagers and little ones. I miss it, but I don't. I'm really enjoying seeing my babies all grown up. I'm so proud of them I can't help crying.
Take care and do post whenever you can.
If you can try see it on the big screen, it has quite spectacular scenes that deserve it. Having said that I can't wait to own it on dvd so that I can wear out certain scenes ;-)
Children, yes , they have this uncanning way of exasperating and elating you in equal measures, lol. It is scary to think my eldest will be finishing school next year and my baby is 7 already.
Although I don't take as active a part in the SG-1 fandom as I used to, I still really enjoy the show and have been watching the Sky repeats.
I've seen the new Star Trek movie and I can see where you're coming from on that. I think my new Jack/Sam is Gene/Alex from Ashes to Ashes, though.
:D
Your kids sound so varied, I dunno how you cope.
I read your entry on the moon landing and wanted to comment but then my internet went bezerk. I felt the same. I was only 5 at the time but like you I was woken up in the middle of the night (like 2 am ) to watch it in a very grainny black and white tv.
It was an occasion that stayed with me and I have no doubt woken my interest in space and sci-fi.
