I didn't have time to waste today
Nov. 4th, 2025 11:42 pmBut waste it I did. There were still mistakes on the test. two caught in test and fixed, one while grading. Ah well. Some of the students wasted my time. Can you tell me what you mean by what is this projection of bone? No. I have spent SEVEN weeks telling you that so no. And the one who's slated to do this test on friday asks 'is there a list online?' If you don't know this after 9 weeks, I don't like your chances. (the answer is yes, I've been showing them this every week for 8 weeks)
But the biggest waste of my time...it's a toss up between sleeping and voting.
I slept great from 2-6 AM and then from 6-8 I woke up and fell asleep so many times I was convinced I forgot to set the alarm and sleep paralysis-ed my way through it. And the dream was weird. I was in a fancy spa bathing area, trying to bathe...with the door open and somehow this led to murder. I don't know why I killed the person or how I disappeared the body but the rest of the dream was me trying to dispose of the chair I set him in (which had been mixed in to a church hall sort of room) and the blade...
As for voting, I have zero tv stations from OH (as Charleston WV is the closest big city along with Ashland NY) BUT on Facebook governor and senate race ads have been hitting hard and heavy so I thought that was what we were voting on. I have to go thru the hinter lands to get to my voting bingo hall and...it's for 3 school board members and three levies to keep 911 and firefighters rolling. Really? I could have skipped this.
Fannish 50 junk
Baking shows. I don't watch many anymore but I do watch Halloween and Holiday baking shows and I guess they're getting long in the tooth. I'm also wondering how rigged all of this is? Or how swayed we are by sad stories.
In Halloween we had one guy who apparently thinks this is another type of show, where you have villains etc but that was only episode 1. I thought maybe they spoke to him but that wasn't true apparently because in the second to last episode another baker commented on this sort of bullying and smack talking but they opted not to show it. I guess it tested poorly. It did with me. I can watch other shows if I want that. The winner had two sob stories. Was she good enough? I think the other two were better and it made me wonder did they decide to give it to her?
Holiday baking challenge aired last night and it is in teams with them bickering like the other sorts of cooking challenges with teams. I hate that. I have enough drama without that. Do you like that kind of thing? I figure someone does as it's so prevalent. I hope that won't be the whole of the show.

Tuesday: Death
Nov. 3rd, 2025 10:19 pmJust a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ any, any, Every night at midnight, a mysterious figure visits people moments before they die. One night, they arrive at your door—but not for you.
+ any, any, After a loved one’s death, you begin receiving text messages from their number. Each message reveals something they never told you while alive.
+ any, any, In a vast library beyond time, every life ever lived is recorded. You’re the new archivist—and the next volume to be added bears your own name.
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
