So I was informed that Moscato is a dessert wine, which doesn't surprise me because my sweet tooth is well-documented and everything else tastes too strongly of alcohol for me to enjoy it. I can deal with liquor when I mix it or chase it, but you don't really do either of those things with wine. So I'll stick with the dessert wine and pretend I'm a real adult.

I really have to start packing up my room. Now that it's a sure thing we're going to be moving, I have no excuse not to start putting things in boxes. I should at the very least clear one of my bookshelves over the next couple of days.

Today I did a bit of cleaning on my computer. I really have to start watching all this TV I have downloaded. I'd like to make it back to 100GB free on my hard drive... which isn't going to happen until I succeed in catching up on some of these seasons. I should get back into Fringe, because I really do love Fringe, I just... haven't had the attention span for it. I also have a lot of movies to watch... a couple with James McAvoy, a couple with Jesse Eisenberg, a couple with Benedict Cumberbatch.

But while I'm working on clearing my downloads folder, I'm loading music into iTunes. Right now I'm doing the Warblers album from Glee. Darren Criss's voice makes me happy on so many levels. And we're already aware of my feelings about Chris Colfer, yes? Yes. He's adorable. So. Music and more fanfiction, because I'm never going to run out of Charles/Erik fic to read, or at least not any time soon. 50K AUs? Bring 'em on.

...I am kind of disappointed in myself in that I have been avoiding writing out of fear of failure. I can't fail if I don't do it, but I also can't surprise myself and succeed if I don't do it, either. I would really like to be able to surprise myself and magically get the characterization perfect, but even rewatching and rewatching the canon isn't helping me feel more confident about being able to do it even kind of right. I haven't even been writing anything original since Kink Bingo started, which is stupid because I can use original stories to fill squares now, this is a terrible time to stop writing altogether.

I have just been doing all the reading instead of any writing. I should be able to balance these things out instead of indulging in one to the exclusion of the other. Still, if I was spending time writing anything more involved than LJ entries on a daily basis, I wouldn't be polishing off 20 fics and a novel a day.

Anyway. Speaking of reading, the University of Chicago press gives away a free e-book every month, and this month it's The Lavender Scare: The Cold War Persecution of Gays and Lesbians in the Federal Government. Which seems like it might be of interest to some of you. I'm certainly going to be reading it... eventually. When I get around to it. I have something like twenty books I need to read that I own in paper form, e-books tend to fall to the bottom of the reading list, even ones I pay for. I bought a compilation of short stories by Diane Duane that I have yet to read, and she's my favorite author of all time. It's weird that I can read 50K+ fanfic in one sitting without problems, but I can't get through more than a couple of chapters of an e-book at once.

I am feeling kind of starved for social interaction right now, though. How are you all doing?
