This post is OOC:

It's been sort of a trying day, but both DanielMun and I have calmed down now, and discussed things rationally, and after a lot of said discussion, we agree that TIC just isn't fun for us anymore. We both love RPing, but continuously getting called to task like errant children for what amount to minor infractions of frankly bizarre guidelines just isn't amenable to our entirely grown-up selves. Constantly looking over our shoulders when we post and plot tends to stifle the creative process, turns out. As of now, stanford_lawboy (Sam Winchester), action_jackson (Daniel Jackson), need_to_believe (Fox Mulder) and bayou_bowler (Abby Sciuto) are no longer part of TIC. Feel free to defriend superwill01, too, and consider this a goodbye from me and DanielMun.

So...thanks. It's been great, and cracky and generally engaging, we're both sorry it's come to this, mostly because we feel like it could've been avoided.

But hey, using the exact same dead-alien-mom instababy plot that we did could have been avoided, too, and it wasn't.

So those crime samples that the Air Force guys came and confiscated earlier, and left no trace of, none whatsoever? I found something hinky. Come see me when you get here in the morning.

Bring Gibbs.

Bring Caf-Pow, too.

Hello! You know, I'm used to telling people what I'm up to, but not so used to writing about it. As I think Tony mentioned, we built a house this weekend (I do electrical wiring for Habitat now and then), it's been a slow week at work, so I've been mostly working on DNA backlog -- agenices get WAY behind in testing samples of genetic material, so often more well-equipped labs act as contractors. It's a little boring, but definitely worthwhile. This weekend should be fun, though! It's DC Pride, and I wasn't going to go, but now I am, and I think it'll be fun. Right, Tony?

Now that that's out of the way, I have a survey. Sam thought I should conduct it, so here you go:

He said that people who find out he and his brother have matching tattoos think they're gay. Is it, actually, gay to have matching tattoos? I kind of like the idea, because I don't believe in marriage, and I think I'd like something nontraditional like that as a sign of my commitment instead of a ring or a license. So I guess I don't really mean, is it gay, I mean, is it a way that you think is acceptable or better-than-acceptable for advertising a relationship (even if you're only advertising it to yourself and the other person)?

Part two of the survey:

Who would look better in fishnets and a miniskirt, me or Sam?
