"Fun" with spell check

[lotus0kid]

Apparently, "creeped" as in "creeped out" isn't a word. Which I guess makes sense, because the past tense of "creep" as in "walk slowly" is "crept." Although, you have "dreamt" and "dreamed," and "leapt" and "leaped," which I'm pretty sure are acceptable either way. Hm. Also, in response to "Figglesworth," my spell check suggested "Wigglesworth." Now, I know I have a habit of clicking "Add to Dictionary" for words I know I'll be using more than once (many, many present participles missing their "g"s, thanks mainly to Claude), but when the hell did I use "Wigglesworth" and why did I decide it belonged in my dictionary?

Anyway, it's good to be writing again. I knew it would be, once I finally sat down and got started. Not before time too, since... well, I'm only eight fics away from having an even one hundred on my Plaude fic archive, and boy would it be nice to polish off my one hundredth in time for my fourth Plaude anniversary come May. ... Yeah, I know that's a truly stunning piece of geekitude right there, but dangit it's important to me. Honestly more important than my silly birthday this week. Meh, twenty-four, who cares? Well, it's kind of nice to be turning twenty-four on the twenty-fourth, that's only gonna happen once, but whatever.

I should be going. Charlie's about to make his entrance and I need to squeeze some Peter/Olivia flirtation in before he does. And then there's No Reservations and the US Being Human coming on later. Oh, and dinner, at some point.

*laughs* Wigglesworth is an adorably Dickensian word.

You know I'd be almost scared to complete 100 Plaude fics (or at least know about it, because for all I know I've hit that number already). Like it's just such a big deal, I'd be scared to lose inspiration. By which I mean...yay, 100th fic, that's exciting!

Any progress with the comment notifications?

My friend used to have a cat named Mr. Wigglesworth.

For some reason, "creeped" not being a word blows my mind. *laughs*
