Well well well.
Apr. 17th, 2003 05:04 pmYou'll never guess who just showed up, after entirely too deeply immersing herself in the part of a 22nd century Andorian soldier who actively tried to *sabotage* political events of the time (without using her powers, no less) and getting yelled at by the Continuum for it.
Yes, that's right. My ex is back. And the Continuum has decreed that for her punishment in attempting to live as a mortal, getting swept up in the emotions of it all and actually trying to sabotage the Vulcan-Andorian peace treaty the humans ended up brokering because she was pissed about all the Andorians the Vulcans killed, and generally engaging in conduct unbecoming a Q...
(rubs hands gleefully)
...she has to TAKE OVER HALF OF HER CHILD CARE RESPONSIBILITIES AGAIN.
(Why, yes, I am evil. And yes, I *am* enjoying having a position of high authority in the Continuum nowadays.)
So I am going on vacation. I have no idea where, at the moment. That's the beauty of it-- I can go *anywhere* because I AM NOT SADDLED WITH A KID. Isn't it *marvelous?*
(Sometimes demonstrating how close you are to the end of your rope by blowing up and nearly causing a major diplomatic incident with extremely boring entities *does* work out well in the end. I have actually been *told* to go on vacation because I am obviously cracking under the stress. The fact that my ex was off being an idiot just made it brilliantly obvious who would watch the kid while I take said vacation.)
q is very eager to see his mom. I don't know why; she said some things to him last time that personally I find unforgivable on his behalf, but he seems to have forgotten all about them. Which is actually very good for him. We strongly encourage Q not to hold grudges, it just gets ugly.
Iiiiii might show up on any of your doorsteps. Or Iiiiii might not, and decide to go to some other time period, or a different galaxy, or go drop in on a completely different universe. All depends on how I feel.

We're in the midst of a slight crisis here at the moment (more of the moral quandry type as opposed to a physical, life-threatening one) or I'd invite you to drop by. (You know I prefer to solve these on my own).
