[Current Mood \|contemplative]I’ve been told to update.. Why? Because apparently I’m a very interesting guy. ::grins::I’m scheduled for an off world mission. Doc wants to make sure I’m ready for any situation. She says I should be ready to be put on call if needed. Ha… yeah not a fan of that crazy gate travel. Not that I’ve ever done it yet. The idea of being flung across the galaxy in a huge toilet doesn’t have that big of an appeal to me.Boyfriend is doing great. I’ve completely moved in with him. I’ve got hopes this is going to last. Not to get all girly on you. He’s my man, and teases me every damn day about not wanting to go though the gate. I sleep on the couch on those nights. Ha.Lets see what else? Joan is getting pretty close to Daniel lately. Like he lives there. I choose to take the “if I don’t see it, it isn’t happening” approach. Yeah, friends, only friends. Right.That’s it done updating. Keep it safe out there guys. Don’t want me to have to come patch you up.

Introducing Me	[Jul. 8th, 2005\|11:27 pm]oc_encounters
Well, I'm not 100% sure where to start all of this. I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Emily O'Neill. We jokingly call me Mrs. General O'Neill, because yeah... that's me. Hee!I see there is an AR version of myself running around who is married to Daniel Jackson. Jack would say that is just 'weird'. See, in our reality, Daniel ascended but never returned. I gathered from the other Emily's journal that he did. There's so much about my reality that's different. I have no real idea where to begin. I suppose since everyone knows Jack, then I should start there.I met Jack when I was about 12 years old. He was a touch over 30 when we met. He was a lieutenant who was serving at the same base where my father, Jack Crichton, Marshall Sumner, Charles Kawalsky, (and I know I'm forgetting a few), they all served together. They became close and all of our families sent time together, until my father went off the deep end and turned into the asshole of the universe. (He's not that way now, but he was then.)Anyway, I grew up, married John Crichton. He 'died' and I went into a bit of a tailspin. I was 32 when Dad (Jack Crichton) made me go to stay at Marty's house for two weeks to house and cat sit. Jack lived across the street...Almost four years and three kids later... egWe have two girls and a boy. Melissa Jane is the eldest, and boy does she let everyone know it. Claire Jacqueline is the middle child. She's the light in her father's eye, and not too far from that in her Pampa's eye either. (Again, that's Jack Crichton.) Our youngest is Jonathan James, Jr. He's sort of a Momma's boy. He was born six weeks premature and is very small, though mighty in spirit.I work at the SGC... sort of. I'm Project Director for the Development of Air Support and Defense. What that means? I build X-303's and am currently working on the X-305, which is the next step in human evolution in space. I started out on an SG team, but it really wasn't for me. I belong out in space... I belong in a job that allows me to build ships that go into space. So I left the exploration of other planets to the others.Jack's a General. Two stars. He's in charge of Home World Security, but it's a position that he holds in Colorado Springs. Colonel Sumner helps him with the daily running of the SGC. The two have a rather fun working relationship. My grumpy old guys! I just love them to death.Let's see, what else? I have a couple of best friends, but they aren't here right now. Nina Bianco ran off to Atlantis and took my other best friend, John Shepherd, with her. I think it's why I worked so hard to get the Daedalus up and running. They get home a lot more often this way. As for Earthbound friends, I hang out a lot with my ex-husband and his fiance, Diana Barrington. They adore our children, which helps because our kids are waaaaaaaaaaaay over the top.Melissa rules... well... everything. g She's kind of on the bossy side, though Jack would tell me I should stop understating. Claire is 18 months old and talking in full paragraphs. She knows all her numbers and ABC's by site and is in the beginning stages of learning to read. Talk about whipcrack smart. Jonathan is still in the cute baby stage... very small, but that's to be expected. He also has asthma, so we try to keep him inside. He loves getting his hands in dirt, so Jack's introduced him to sand. It's so much fun to watch.OH, and we have a dog. A mutt that Teal'c, Jake (Jack's clone), and Marty bought the kids. The girls named him Momer. (That's how they say Homer.) Hee!I'm not sure what else to ramble about here. But that's me... in a very quick nutshell.

[Current Mood \|worried]Wow this place has been pretty quiet.::pokes around::Ah well I'll update and yes it's 3am in the morning, just don't tell my Mom or Rick.Gwen and I have been visiting each others worlds pretty regularly now. We even spent the holidays together. I'm not one to get all mushy and crap. But I find myself missing the damn Geek. She tells me she misses me all the time. Makes me feel less weird about it I guess. She's like my sister you know? It gets harder and harder to leave her behind in her world.Even Jack is growing on me. He cares about me like Joan does. He treats me like I'm apart of his family. That's really cool. He tells me every time I visit that one of these days he's going to steal me to complete the set. Pretty sure Joan tells Gwen the same thing. I think she needs someone like Joan in her life. Only other steady woman is Sam, she's a great person but I don't think she loves us like Joan does. I think Gwen really needs that. Just like I guess I need that from Jack.But you know I'm pretty happy here. Don't think I could ever leave.School's going well, might be able to do my medical field training early. Pretty excited about that.Hope everyone had a great holiday.

[Current Mood \|tired]Hey all! Sorry I've not been around much lately. Neill came down with the flu and passed it around to the entire family. Of course, I'm the only one who couldn't take any OTC meds to help me with the symptoms because of the entire being pregnant thing. sighThe work on the house is almost finished. I'm soooooooo glad of that. If the flu didn't make me sick, having those contractors around was starting to! What a pain! But it's almost done and Daniel and I are starting to plan the nursery. We're not going to find out the sex of the child so we're going neutrals. Jack suggested camo... I suggested Teal'c hurt him. gWe're going yellow... probably Winnie-the-Pooh. That's what Samantha wants and she and Gwen are making plans. g Gonna be fun!

[Current Mood \|hopeful]Wow Joan made Colonel. Go Joan. I so want to be like you when I grow up.. well except I'll be a geek. ::Grins::Jack gives you thumbs up. I'm back home. Safe and sound with out Glenn.. I miss that grunt. It's Jack's week to take me in. So for this week I'm living with him. This is pretty good considering I finally got my AU Dad to tell me what he's been hiding from me. He never was good at keeping secrets from me.His world is so messed up.. then again he said the same about this one. In his world Jack was the one that died on that mission in Iraq. (I'm going to have to tell Spence all this when she gets back from her mission with JJ.. Her world is the inverted mirror version of John's.. She's got the military Dad.) But ah yeah so Jack died on that mission and not John..I think the thing that hit Jack the hardest was that Charlie was still alive. And apparently a cadet at the local academy. John took Charlie in after his mother passed. He's doing well and raising hell just like we all knew he would.I asked him about me.. and when his Gwen was about 10 she was playing with one of John's guns.. he had left out one of his loaded guns. Well the rest is pretty much history. I don't think I could actually write out what happened. It's... I just couldn't.It's a lot to take in. I'm very sure he never wanted to tell me. I think he feels responsible. I hope when Spence gets back she explains to him he wasn't responsible, that he shouldn't blame himself. She's really good at making people see her side of things. I'd tell him, but I think coming from Spence it'll mean more to him.

[Current Mood \|cranky]So, for my recent "troubles" I get Eagles on my shoulders... I'm not sure how added responsibility is a reward, but I'm not going to argue with General Hammond.Talking of Hammond; he seemed to really enjoy having Gwen here, in fact, he's asked if she's coming back. You must have made some impression there, kiddo.I guess I've missed a lot recently, I'm sorry for that. Playing catchup is not fun.

I don't even know how long it's been since I've done this. I know it's been a few weeks.I'm getting... well... I'm getting VERY rotund. The remodel still isn't finished and I'm about at my wit's end with the contractor. All I want is a new room so that our youngest child can have a bedroom to sleep in. I'd like it BEFORE he or she gets here! They've had snags upon delays. Daniel finally put his foot down and told them to get it finished or else! So they're getting it finished.Gwen's doing wonderfully at school. She goes to a private, accelerated school not too far from here. The drive is about a half hour and we're carpooling with a team member of mine... Dr. Harris. His kids go there too. At first, they put her in the wrong courses, as far as acceleration goes. They had her about three levels below her actual ability, so they've been moving her around and trying to find the level that works for her. The beauty of this school is that it caters to the kid's needs. She accels in some areas but is 'average' in others. So the level of learning suits her needs perfectly, yet it strives to remain as close to a 'normal' school as it can. No uniforms... nothing that would deliniate it as private. She really enjoys it.Samantha and Neill have started pre-school. They go in the mornings and then our neighbor picks them up and keeps them the rest of the day. She's an elderly lady, and all the kids call her 'grandma'. She's making Halloween costumes for them this year. Neill wants to be an astronaut; I almost cried. Samantha wants to be Indiana Jones. Hee!Work wise... I'm not doing much. I played around on the Promethus not to long ago. Spent a couple days with General Hammond. I miss that guy. Jack's doing a great job and we all know I look up to him, but I just miss having General Hammond around. He's sort of how I always wished my father would have been. So we spent a couple days together and I jacked around with the new engines. That ship is beautiful... if I do say so myself.SG-1 is very content with its fourth member. Aeryn filled the 'military' role easily, but Sam jokes that she has nowhere near Jack's sense of humor. Daniel says she has his diplomatic skills though. Something about shooting first... gI have to admit since I've been grounded, I've been spending a lot of extra time with John working on the engine designs. It's so strange because it feels like old times only without the romantic connection. Other than Daniel, he truly is my best friend. Just can't help but feeling like the universe righted itself when he became lost and I met Daniel.Speaking of my husband, lemme get really mushy for a minute. I have been so completely and totally blessed with having him in my life. I haven't been around much because things have just been crazy. I can't really go into it because I've not been able to wrap myself around in with him, so I know I'd only confuse everyone else. I'm trying to get on track, but it's really difficult. I just know I couldn't do this without him.

[Current Mood \|content]Busy busy busy!Glenn visited here last weekend, it was great!Apparently Joan ordered him out of the house, on account of he was driving her up the wall.I think he enjoyed it here. Spent loads of time with John Spencer. I think he's closer to being John's kid then I ever will be. They really seemed to get along. It was great.Funny thing was as Jack calls it we did a Spencer Swap. I'm in his world right now with him.You know what Glenn's right Daniel sure does look at Joan's ass a lot. It's very weird. It's Daniel but it's not. The way he looks at me is completely different. It's very spooky if you ask me. He kept talking to me in different languages as if he couldn't wrap his mind around a Spencer knowing anything but a bastardized form of English.Seeing Glenn so nervous around Daniel was also very odd to me. It seems like they just don't know what to do with each other.Joan's doing great if anyone was wondering. They don't talk about it around me (Top secret and all that Jazz).I was able to meet Rick. Who is quite the charmer, and was pretty impressed with me. I think it was just the fact his boyfriend was a girl that he was impressed with. Also my Ricky was pretty nervous around Glenn but I think that's because he thought Glenn was cute. I saw him looking at his ass.. I didn't miss that.. But it's all good I looked at Rick's. Have to say mine's cuter. ::Grins at Glenn::Glenn's got a pretty boring room. I found out later it was because most of the time he sleeps at Rick's place. Lucky bastard.

[Current Mood \|refreshed]Yep Gwen's over here now. I thought I was an annoying person.. then I met her.. oy..Now imagine me, but with Daniel's brain. Yep that's right smart ass remarks within a very long drawn out explanation of some dead culture. It was scary.Mom really enjoyed having Gwen here. The Women Vs. Men jokes were never ending all day long. I want to run. Someone please help me.Yep I spend the weekend over at Gwen's house.. I feel like I'm 15 again. ::puts on little kid voice:: It was like super cool. I got to sleep over at her house and look at all her cool things.::Clears throat laughing::Naah it was great. We stayed at Jack's.. Well Jack said it was because it seemed like the best thing for me. Since I live with Joan I should stay with Jack. Gwen said it was because Jack called dibs before Daniel could get a word in.It's weird, Gwen pretty much lives in two houses. Both the rooms are so different! At Jack's it's this whole shrine to the history channel, while her place at Daniel's is the Air Force's recruiting office.Ricky! That's one odd kid. I think I had the most fun hitting on him and watching him look at me so damn confused. Personally I think the boy could swing both ways. Apparently this one has no clue. Shame really but cute all the same.

I feel like I'm 15 again. ::puts on little kid voice:: It was like super cool. I got to sleep over at her house and look at all her cool things.::Clears throat laughing::Naah it was great. We stayed at Jack's.. Well Jack said it was because it seemed like the best thing for me. Since I live with Joan I should stay with Jack. Gwen said it was because Jack called dibs before Daniel could get a word in.It's weird, Gwen pretty much lives in two houses. Both the rooms are so different! At Jack's it's this whole shrine to the history channel, while her place at Daniel's is the Air Force's recruiting office.Ricky! That's one odd kid. I think I had the most fun hitting on him and watching him look at me so damn confused. Personally I think the boy could swing both ways. Apparently this one has no clue. Shame really but cute all the same.

[Current Mood \|hungry for mashed potatoes]Hey, everyone. It's Emily. I know that not a lot of people are posting anymore. Life must be really busy for everyone. But I'm sitting here watching TV and the twins and Johnny are taking a nap. Gwen's at school and Daniel's at work, so I thought... Why not?I'm really starting to show now. I'll be five months along here in a couple weeks. The 'morning' sickness passed several weeks ago. Now we're getting into the craving stage. The cravings aren't just for food either. ;-) I have to say that I was afraid there for a while, not really doing the best. I'm saying a lot of it was hormones, but I think there was quite a bit of post traumatic stress going on as well too. Instead of dealing with it, I ignored it. With everything else that was going on, I think I just got to the point where I couldn't handle anything. I never truly lost sight of the fact that my family is the most important... I think I just took on way too much.Daniel is beyond amazing. I know it took a lot for him to finally say something. See, I didn't take it too well and I believe this was the first argument we really ever had. If we've disagreed in the past, we've talked it out and been okay. I actually raised my voice to him, and I've never done that before. That's when I realized just what was going on and the tables turned. I feel better now, thanks to my husband.The baby is doing well. We're not going to find out what we're having, but if this one is a boy, I want to name him after Daniel. We've kicked around naming him or her after someone else, but in the grand scheme of things I think he should have a child named after him. Daniel or Danika. Boy or girl... doesn't matter to me. We're also going to turn the area above the garage into another bedroom. We've already met with the contractors and they're actually starting right now. Or they started last week. The roof is gone. My beautiful house is in complete disarray, but it will be worth it. The baby deserves his or her own room. The extra bedroom right now is an office, and we need that. Right now, Neill and Samantha are content to share a room. I think room rearranging will happen in a few years though.Also, after this baby, I'm done. Given my age, I don't want to take the chance on having another baby. So more than likely, one of us is getting fixed. g I know who it will be easier one, and he doesn't seem to mind at all. Thank goodness. So he's going to take a leave and get that done. Of course, we had to tell Jack since he's approving the time off. I think marriage and fatherhood have mellowed him a touch. He didn't pick on Daniel about it nearly as much as I thought he would. So in a couple weeks, Daniel will be having the procedure done. hugs himI just think that four kids is enough. I love them all with everything I am, but we have no more room to build. g And this house is completely paid for, so I really don't want to move. So yeah, four is enough. ;-)
