I'm not supposed to get tired.

qcontinuumBut I'm rather exhausted, in fact. My clever little plan in the alternate universe came to fruition and... welll...
I suppose I'd best come clean. I continued to believe that it would be a good idea to create a Q/human hybrid. For various reasons. But I had more or less given up on the plan... and then I went and hung out in an alternate universe which split from this timeline a short while ago, and whose two most salient features are an absurd amount of time travel and a certain degree of generally impairing judgement.
Including the judgement of omnipotent beings.
Was this a good idea? I... don't know. I *had* thought about it previously, but... I've just done something that may permanently change the Continuum.
I had another kid.
And then I sent her back twenty-odd years in time, in that timeline, to be raised by two people I pulled out of time for the task, and now I've just had a lengthy conversation with her to explain who and what she is. And I'm still going to have to have a conversation with her human parent, who, uh, didn't exactly know I was doing this and didn't expect to have an adult daughter suddenly turn up. And is, shall we say, slightly annoyed with me over all this.
Am I insane? I'm not all that good a father to my full Q child; why did I have another one? (Because it's easier to have a half-human, at least so far-- someone else raises them. But still.) What if she's unsuitable to be a Q? What have I let us all in for? I mean I *think* I did the right thing, but... I could be wrong.
(Mark your calendars, this may be the first time I've admitted that.)

amanda_the_q, who's more or less taken up residence in the other universe observing the human ship that appears to be at the center of the time disturbance, keeps singing this 20th century Terran song at me and it's driving me positively insane. She needs to get a life.
