A funny thing happened (on the way back from Aldi)

I've been wretchedly sick for the last few days. Caught a cold and while I was at home I was crawling around moaning for people to kill me, enough that I suspect my family at least, wanted to grant my wish. Anyway, I dragged myself out of what is rapidly becoming less of a room and more of a lair stuffed with tissues and strepsils, and all the way down to Aldi to buy wine. Because even though I loathe St Patrick's Day, I do like wine.

Came back, and I might as well have not gone as there was a  bottle of wine on the doorstep in a bag with my name on it. Puzzling. The paper inside solved the mystery, it was from an acquaintance thanking me for help with a project. All fine and dandy...except how do they know where I live? It's not information I hand out. Did they follow me home one day?

Apart from that, if anyone wants to give me better titles for either of these [livejournal.com profile] spn_masquerade fics before I upload to AO3, I will love you forever and give you a glass of wine. Both of them were subject to the 'string any words together quick' style of titling. The worst one off is the femslash Gen/Danneel fic currently called 'Dinner is Served' which the more I think about it, the grosser it becomes. I like a good pun as much as the next girl but that doesn't even work as a joke. girl!Jensen/Jared called 'Stranger in a Crowd' is less viscerally ugh but equally bland. So help a fic writer out before I have to resort to Auden for the 1188567th time.

Oh gawd, this is probably even worse but the first thing that came to mind for your Gen/Danneel was - Dining out, Eating In. Or Eating Out, Dining In ...which is probably even worserer! LOL

I mean, it's hard to go wrong with Auden. Which is to say I am no help, sorry. Titles are hard!

It's a little disconcerting to have the bottle turn up, but perhaps he/she gave it to a colleague/friend who did know where you lived :) I am feeling the ickies pain, cos this cold is kicking my ample ass!
