“Connor, look at you, inside on a day like this! Why don’t you go out and play football with the other boys?”

He glanced up with a slightly pained look.

“Football isn’t really my thing, Gran.”

Ellen Temple sighed in despair.

No, his ‘thing’ mostly seemed to involve sitting in his room reading books about science and dinosaurs, and playing on that computer thingy.

It wasn’t healthy for a boy his age.

Besides, books and games were all well and good, but what about his future? What sort of job was he ever going to get with dinosaurs and computers?

Yeah. What sort of job could he have with those obsessions ;)

Nice drabble!

thanks. It's a very specialised job field for that skill set...

One almost hopes his gran lived to see the anomalies go public and him saving the world. Nice fic!

From: [identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com
thanks. Yes, she would be so proud of him.

Ha, little did his Gran know!

I can so see wee Connor doing this.

Hee, yes, I'm pretty sure young Connor was not a football person in the slightest. Sitting in his room reading and doing computer stuff, however...

Nicely done and little does his gran know ;)

From: [identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com
thanks. Yes, his Gran would no doubt be surpised to learn where those skills finally got him!

Isn't it great? Did you manage a Teamfest header? Or are you not ready for that yet? :)

Date: 2012-06-24 07:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com
Yep, I entered the team fest header comp, and the latest icon comp. The only trouble is I don't seem to be getting much writing done when I'm spending so much time on graphics. Oops!

Did you enter the header comp, or have you been too busy lately?

Nice one!! Me? Yes, thought I wasn't going to, but I made a last minute entry the day before the deadline!!

You do sometimes feel like you have to choose between reading, writing and making graphics :) Never enough time in the day! I'm really enjoying my Stargate game comm, though. Been doing jigsaws, LOL!

Yey for last miute entries. I was working on my header for two bloody weeks! Although one of the icons was done the night before the deadline, and the other was done on the day of the deadline!

I know! I think I need to either clone myself, or else get a time machine so I can go back and re-do entire days in order to have enough time to do everything!

Good luck in the voting! There were some great icons :)

good luck to you as well! I can't wait to see all the headers that people have come up with this time and see what competition I'm up against! :-)
