January 17th, 2009
I mean, whoa, do I have a lot of fic to read in the near future. :O
I got all fluttery when I saw stories of mine that I didn't know had been nominated. ♥ You guuuuuys, thank you! (oh my god, I just counted... 17 different stories?! YOU GUYS. THANK YOU.)
Maybe I'll even win one. Really, I just want Do Your Part to Save the Scene to win because then something I wrote ENTIRELY for the lulz of it will actually have turned into true win. xD
Except, I am up against the most brilliant people, and I would vote for you over me even if I wasn't me. I'm not worthy! *Wayne and Garth-style bowing*
Thought my jaw was better, but it was just pretending. It's fucking freezing, and I didn't have the attention span to finish watching Wanted with Julia, even if James McAvoy has one of the most mesmerizing mouths I have ever seen.
I changed Heather's cage and set her purple house down. Usually she flips it over... I came upstairs and she was in it with only the very tip of her nose sticking out. The sweetness, it is overwhelming.
Tomorrow's focus: clothes (trauma center), bookshelf (trauma center), vacuuming (and more trauma center). Can we tell what I didn't do tonight? >>
Part of me wants to pimp the hell out of Nymphmomaniac. The other part wants to wait until the series is done. BE PATIENT, SELF. People prefer completion to WIPs.
fuck but it's cold. D:

Ask me a question! Anything goes, fandom-related, writing-related, whatever-related, and I will answer it to the best of my ability and possibly even truthfully. LET ME AMUSE YOU WITH MY ANSWERS.

still fucking cold!
- 11:22 worst nightmare ever. please no panic attack. #
- 12:39 is there anything cuter than dogs dreaming of running? yes. when they let out tiny little woofs in their sleep. ADORABLE. #
- 18:49 I can always do my to-do list in between writing porn. It's like taking breaks, except to do boring things instead of fun ones. #
- 22:39 I have no idea why my mother ever insists that she's correct about where anything is in the garage. She is ALWAYS wrong. #
- 23:27 Watching Wanted with the sullen one. I got a chunk of my to-do list done today! Yay me! #
- 01:12 It's supposed to hit 17 degrees tomorrow and I am unreasonably excited for that. Sunday might even get up to 25! T-SHIRT WEATHER! #
I'm going to print the whole damn list out (in columns so I don't use assloads of paper xD), then cross out the ones that I don't like, and use different colors of highlighter to pick the ones I like. One color for "great, but the grammar/spelling..." one for "great, but awkardly phrased..." and one for "OMG YES", then see how it pans out by the end of the section.
And in this way, my tired little brain stands a fighting chance at making some sense of this all. xD
I'm attacking the clothes part of the to-do list right now, and it is HARD. I have way too many clothes... v.v; It makes me sad to get rid of nice things I just never wear, but these packrat instincts are unhealthy.
If I don't get lunch soon, though, I may keel over. v.v

These are both sized Large, both purchased at Hot Topic, both lightly worn and with no stains. Best offer? :D?
( heart-bombs and bird-butterfly-nifty swirlies )
Anyone? Bueller?
On the topic... I am almost done with this to-do list item. WAHOO!

busy
Mom and Dad aren't that far away, they're just on the other side of Syracuse, and they're going to a Japanese restaurant and Dad is coming to pick up Julia and me right now.
On top of how much I got done today, I declare January 17 to be OFFICIALLY MADE OF WIN.
:D
ps, this icon is totally not because of Hiro's ethnicity, it is because it is my BEST DAY EVER! icon. But I will definitely take him for dessert, check please.

Epicstraordinary!
To recap: Got a lot of stuff done, including one of the most difficult tasks on my list. I HAVE DEFEATED THE CLOTHING MONSTER. There are no dishes in the sink. I can do all of the laundry within two hours. My room is (mostly) clean, the animals are (mostly) happy, and I am (entirely) content.
OMG, hibachi steak, I am so fat and happy. The hibachi chef's name was Jonas. xD He was chubby and funny and I think Korean. And my mom said something totally flirty to him, and he was all "oh hey? lol" and it was awesome. xD So I got fat on steak and shrimp and rice and miso soup, and then GINGER ICE CREAM om nom nom nom so good.
BUT BEFORE THAT: huge Barnes and Noble, yes! I wandered and stuff, and my dad bought me The Fall!!!! And the latest issue of Heroes Magazine. This conversation happened:
Dad: Heroes? Really?
Me: They have really good articles!
Dad: Yeah, that's what I used to say about Playboy.
Me: Yeah, well, we probably put them each to the same use.
He didn't hear me, neither did Julia, and I walked across the store with my jaw dropped, laughing and saying "I cannot believe I just said that to him." EPIC LULZ.
So now I am home, and sleepy-full, and I spent the car ride home listening to podfic and wondering a) how to keep my voice from being all electronic on the edges, b) how to keep my voice warm, and c) how to develop the incredible phone-sex voices some of these readers have. xD Seriously, if I didn't sound as dorky as I looked, I might give reading a higher-rated fic a shot...
Driving home in blowing snow is kind of creepy. The patterns the snow makes as it swirls over the road switch up so quickly: angel wings, unhappy faces, shoes and ships, whirlpools and tornadoes, desert dunes, cabbages and kings. About two inches fell in the five hours I wasn't home. It's supposed to keep snowing.
I can't believe it's only eleven. I want to go to sleep already... but I am halfway through with Friday and I am determined to finish that first. NOAH BENNET I CHOOSE YOU *throws
