I have to apologize to everyone – most especially those of you who I’ve been writing fic for – for disappearing without notice there for a while. It was completely unintentional and properly irritating, especially since I was without a computer for most of the time so I was only able to write with the tried and true method of pen and paper (which, I have to admit, I hate because my handwriting it awful and I can’t write out things nearly as fast as I can type them). In any case, I’m back now and hope to have a few of my hand written fics typed up and other fics updated in the near future.

So, in summation: sorry, sorry, sorry.

Found this on my facebook news reel and thought I'd share!:

My dad wouldn't let us whistle in the house. It was thought to a boastful act and would tempt fate. Subsequently, if we ever did tempt fate, we had to pretend to spit twice or "tphew tphew" as we called it then, so as to ward off the evil spirits! All part of the superstitious Russian tradition I grew up with. - Sasha Roiz's (Captain Renard) Friday the 13th superstitions

The funny thing is I grew up with a very similar tradition: open an umbrella in the house, you spit twice; accidentally sweep over someone's foot while sweep, they have to spit twice; etc, etc.

I still practice this...lol
