First, a video!
Life Jacket by Paris Carney
(I can't get it to embed correctly because I don't know Vimeo like I know YouTube)

Singer/Songwriter Paris Carney premieres a special "unplugged" performance of her single "Life Jacket," which she dedicates to all children battling cancer. The video features Paris and Greg “Garbo” Garbowsky, bass player for the Jonas Brothers, who introduced Paris to the Foundation in early 2010. Together, Garbo and Paris have joined St. Baldrick's to Show Some Love for kids battling cancer.

Second, my link so you can Show Some Love by donating to St. Baldrick's to help cure childhood cancer in support of all the hair that will not be on my head come March 12th. Come on by! I'll have a BEFORE pic soon. Just wanting to wait until it's purple.

If all of my friends here (and Facebook were to donate $5, I would probably be able to get more donations than even my SISTER! She always gets more than me because she actually works with these kids so she get a lot of donations from parents who are eager for a cure.

Do you know someone with cancer? You're extremely lucky if you can say no. Of course, if you know me, you can't say no. I am a cancer survivor of nearly 16 years now. I was lucky, though. My Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer was found in time so that I only had to have two surgeries. I shave my hair completely off every year in solidarity with the kids who are looking forward to a cure to childhood cancer.

Would you like to shave your head along with me? Check out the website for an event near you! They're all over the country. Would you like to volunteer? Check out the website for an event near you!

I'm having trouble getting AO3 to cooperate this evening. If it was playing along, I would give you the link to the best SGA AU story I've ever read.

*blushes* Okay, it's the fourth longish SGA story I've ever read and only the first AU. I'm not normally an AU fan, actually. It always ranked right under crossovers for me.

But I want you to go to Archive Of Our Own (dot org) and look up the writer AUBURN and then go to her Stargate Atlantis stories and click on the second page. This story is the second on the list on the second page. It's called Know How to Fall and the summary is: Three-day event rider John Sheppard inherits Pegasus Farm and decides to build a new life there with old friend Teyla Emmagan and her son. When he meets prickly horse trainer Rodney McKay, he falls hard for him, while John's friendship shakes up Rodney's life, making him want to take chances again. A harassment campaign aimed at making John sell the farm soon turns violent though and endangers everyone before they can figure out what and who they really want.

I'm almost a bigger shipper of ferrier!Ronon/cop!Amelia than I am of canon Ronon/Amelia!!! I only wish there was more of their story in this John/Rodney story. Would have also liked to know more about Teyla/Lorne, as well. The only thing I didn't like about this story was the way that Jeannie was portrayed but that is such a little thing to not like. John was awesome. Rodney was awesome. Teyla was awesome Jinto and Halling were awesome. Ronon *dies* and Amelia *dies some more* were awesome. I loved them all.

The only problem with reading these longer fics on my Kindle? I start to think of them as stories and wish I could write stories in their universes! *grins* Yep, I liked this story THAT much. Alas, I have other stories to write that are much more urgent at this point.
