Hotmail is screwy as hell and LJ is still e-mailing old comments (if I missed something, now you know why). Joy. And I got evil nightwork ahead of me. So, if you want to drag me out of my boredom when I come home, the meme below is a chance.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a drabble with the same first line as one of my stories, and leave it in my comments here. Any fandom, any pairing or gen, and you can interpret "drabble" as loosely as you want.

Fics found here. A selection of first lines below, though feel free to pick others.

1. "Somewhere – it does not really matter where – a girl was turning on her computer." - OFUM (LotR)
2. "On day one, he comes to take her away." - Fall Into Sky (CSI)
3. "She stood white among the frost in the dying dark as he came upon her, a trail of morning mist swirling above her head almost like a crown." - Winter Frost (LotR)
4. "The northern wind was for once crisp and cool, sweeping in over Las Vegas from distant mountains, whispering to the land as it came." - Afterthoughts and Forethoughts and the Northern Wind (CSI)
5. "‘It wasn’t supposed to end like this,’ she thinks, and kisses him." - Metamorphosis (CSI)
6. "900 years and he still doesn't get humans sometimes." - Never a Choice (Doctor Who)
7. "Time sings." - Song For Rose (Doctor Who)
8. "What he remembered afterwards was the pattern of tiny hairs on the back of her hand, almost invisible in the flat light of the lecture hall, but rising
against the touch of his skin, almost seeking him, as he shook her hand." - The Passing of Seasons (CSI)
9. "The world is less than it was." - Fading Legends (LotR)
10. "Gil Grissom nearly died on a Tuesday morning." - Shades of Dawn (CSI)
11. "Sometimes, in the sentience that is the TARDIS, she thinks about time." - Measures of Time (Doctor Who)
12. "She walks in beauty, like the night." - East of the Sun, West of the Moon (CSI)
13. "One last time, he goes to visit Lily Evans." - Kaleidoscope (Harry Potter)
14. "A fantasy." - Symbiosis (CSI)
15. " "This is such a bad idea." " - Passing By (Doctor Who)

Snow has finally settled down and it's freezing outside. It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, it is. Coupled with me spending a long time yesterday hunting down old-fashioned Norwegian Christmas cards. If you're not getting a gift from me this year, you shall at least get a card (provided you left your address somewhere for me to find).
In the news:
Plea launched to halt the execution of ex-gang leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams.
The case sparks death row debate
Maori head-butts tourist
Red Cross not allowed access to all prisoners in American custody
Porn laws relaxed in Norway

Hum. Now what I wanna know is, who nominated the guy for the Nobel Peace Prize? (You have to be a member of the Norwegian parliament to officially nominated someone for it.) And the death penalty never fails to get me worked up. Not a fan of it, me. Most Norwegians aren't - we haven't had it for a long time. I don't think we're likely to get it again, especially with a Minister of Justice who has a Tigger-doll in his office. (Too cute!)

Meanwhile, tomorrow is Human Rights Day. Mark it. It's also the hand-out of the Nobel Peace Prize here in Norway.

Right. Food, then evil night of work.
