03:26 pm - Is Impatience a deadly sin?

I just can't wait for anything. I've got a fic coming for me in the femmefest exchange, and of course HBP is right around the corner. I'm really into HP fandom again, can you tell? It's just killing me, waiting for my epic fic to arrive.

I'm actually getting into twisted dark fics all of a sudden. I used to love fluffy angst, and now all of these super dark things are blowing me away. I just can't compete with that kind of writing. I'm better at the fluffy angst, heh.

Speaking of that, I've got to get working on my Katie/Angelina claim over at the lj rare pairs community I've joined. I have ideas but I'm worried because it's not exactly about Katie and Angelina as a Pair, you know? More of an unrequited angsty Thing. I guess I ought to ask if that's all right before I finish writing my second prompt.

I've only been back to livejournal for....what, a month, maybe? And I already have two pretty cool friends. Maybe I should be posting over there more often. Maybe I will.

11:17 am - And when the sun sets

The relationship between Radar and Henry Blake on MASH is just the most adorable thing I've ever seen. My heart broke last night when Radar said he would always remember that day, "a very bad day." And it's been quite a few seasons since that day, so it's just incredibly sweet and sad. Poor little guy.

Anyway, in real news, I guess the economy's getting better, since business is booming over at my workplace. We've been struggling like a dying fish for a year now, and suddenly this week it's exploded. This is very good news. No more layoffs or cut hours! Let's hope it lasts.

It is incredibly hard to make "pygmy" fit in with a Harry Potter femmeslash fic. What an odd prompt. I suppose I'll have to go with the "small" connotation and just hurt poor Katie Bell's feelings. Oh, the neverending angst with me. Trix Angst Rabbit, aka Briony Angst Tallis, that's me.

You know, I was really wary about using a beta reader, but she actually did help me fix my femmeslash fic. So that was pleasant. :)

And now back to obscurity I go, more than likely. I want to write more challenges, but I'm awfully lazy about these things. I was accepted by a community over at lj, so I have that to work on. I probably shouldn't sign up for anything else until I work on at least a couple of those. Don't want to overload myself after so long writing nothing; I should ease back into fandom. Not that I was ever really "in" fandom.

Writing this femmeslash is really making me want to experiment in real life, heh. If I were in anime I'd be sweatdropping all over the place every time I opened Microsoft Word. And whenever I saw my crush at work, of course. *blush* Geez, I just can't stay faithful to my Jeremiah. I was doing really well for a while, too. But now here I go again, crushing on people at work. I always feel so guilty having these thoughts.

11:17 pm - it's coming, it's coming, it's coming!!

*jumps around in a giddy little circle*

I just watched some trailers for the HBP film and I CANNOT WAIT!!!! It just looks so effing amazing, and I know know know I'm going to love it. I loved OoTP, surely I will love this. Oh, man, Ginny, I adore Ginny, I can't wait to see her finally get with Harry. And OF COURSE Hermione and Ron working out their angst, HBP is just such a great book. I'm too excited about this, haha.

11:44 am - Progress makes me happy.

Yesterday I cleaned out the P02 aisle at work. That sentence means nothing to any outside readers, but it means a lot to me. It's physical progress. Locations projects hold a simple pleasure; there's just something satisfying about seeing a once full aisle empty to nothingness. Moving clothing about a warehouse is soothing. I guess it's because I love organizing things. I wish the folks in charge would let me organize more often. I do like picking and pickgens, but they're not nearly as grand in their visible differences.

My femmeslash exchange fic is going well! I decided not to follow all of my recepients' requests because one of them slightly squicks me, but I've got most of them, and I'm sure she'll be happy with the result. Well, not entirely sure, but I did forego the epic angst, so that's gotta be good.

01:59 pm - A couple of important things (to me)

Yesterday I picked a cart at work that was 138 units. And, my Glory, it was beautiful. Yes, it was mostly t-shirts, which allowed for easy stacking, but it was still the neatest 100+ cart I have ever seen. And I am incredibly proud of this small accomplishment. I just needed to write that down somewhere so I can read it whenever I think I'm not good at anything. It may be tiny, but at least I can please packers and pick neater than anyone else. So I have something.

Also, last night, I dreamt that I was Jim Halpert and I greatly enjoyed flirting with my Pam. It seems weird for me to be the man in a relationship, doesn't it? I do wish I could be a man sometimes, though. It just seems like it would be fun. And I do think Pam is adorable. Though I have crushes on both of them, really.

Oh, and, haha, I am struck with inspiration today for my femmeslash fic! I am so thrilled. Though I worry that perhaps my recipient will be put off slightly by the epic scope of my plot idea. We'll see, I guess. Maybe I ought to ask somebody? I'll think on this.

10:20 pm - Sins and other things

So, I have started an asylum again, and this time it's starting really well. I have interested members, anyway, which is a refreshing change. In case anyone stumbles upon this, the asylum is called thesevensins, and it's a prompt challenge fanfic asylum. Basically it's for writing fics using the seven deadly sins as the prompts. I think it's a good idea, and I'm going to take up the challenge myself once I finish my femmeslash exchange piece.

I really like my job right now! Nobody's been particularly annoying lately, nothing new is happening to shake things up stupidly, and the work flow's been pretty average. Things are so good. I'm a little worried I'm jinxing myself by writing this, heh. *fingers crossed*

I am so obsessed with The Office right now. The US version, I mean, my God, it is so hilarious! Michael Scott cracks me up to absolutely no end, I love him. And of course Jim and Pam, I adore their relationship. I'm always a sucker for that sort of thing. It's so frustrating being behind and not having television. Netflix doesn't have season five available yet and so I can't look into the fandom yet because I'm afraid of accidentally reading spoilers! Gah, so frustrating. I must love alone for now, until I can somehow catch up.

That's really all that happens to me in my life, I go to work and I watch stuff on Netflix. But I'm pretty happy overall. Even when I struggle to write fic.

It is official: Jodi Picoult can't beat me anymore. Haha, I am victorious! I just finished reading her latest, Change of Heart, and I figured out the twist on page 158 (out of a total of 450 pages). Of course, I couldn't make up my mind about Shay's miracles, but that's a different story; that's supposed to be ambiguous. I hope.

Why does it excite me that I can read this author's plans? I don't know, I feel smart. I can never figure out surprise endings anywhere. J.K. Rowling got me every single time. I just like winning once in a while. It doesn't happen too often.

10:21 pm - Some good old-fashioned rambles

I made this icon I'm using. Still not sure if I like it. Something is off, and I can't tell what it is.

Why do I enroll in these writing challenge communities if I can't actually write what I'm signing up for? I really, really need a vacation from work. Maybe then I'll get some of my creativity back. Ugh, I'm so lazy it kills me!

I completely and firmly believe Ginny/Luna is canon, but I think I want to start exploring some other 'ships for the girls during the school years and beyond. I really hate hate hate the infamous epilogue, and yet at the same time it gives me a pretty good benchmark, a challenge of sorts. How much can I squeeze into that nineteen year period and still come back to the very same epilogue? Ooh, I am struck by the lightening of a good idea! Maybe I'll even do it in a writing community. Oh, shucks, I always forget to call them asylums over here.

Jeremiah, my boyfriend, says it's insulting to call them that, to call users patients and all of those terms, that it's insulting to people with real mental problems. I'm not sure what to think about that. He always says inappropriate words, though, and I absolutely hate hypocrites. I could rant for hours about that, but I don't want to get into it here.

I created this journal to hide from somebody, because you never know when someone is really going to give up. I mean, he could have been looking after me all this time and I wouldn't have known. He did give up that project, which only cements my suspicion that it was part of the evil plans he made for me. Damn it, why am I talking about him, of all people. I really do have trouble letting go sometimes. I still miss my best friend from my first livejournal. I wonder what happened to him.

11:37 am - No, really, wtf

Why does Trix cereal suddenly taste like shit?? Where was I when General Mills threw up their hands and said, "Fuck it, let's change the recipe"? Why do companies always do this to people? It's ridiculous. To save yourself a few pennies a year you're going to disappoint long-time lovers of your products? For reals, get a clue. Greedy bastards.

If I could put the so-called "seven deadly sins" in order according to my daily indulgence of each, it would go thusly: envy, wrath, sloth, gluttony, lust, pride, and greed. Because, you see, I am absolutely disgusted by greed. I am somehow immune to society's most devastating disease. It makes me sick.

Hey, I wonder if there is a prompt community using the seven sins. I would love to explore each in writing. Hey, look, I found a silver lining again. Though I guess my boycott of Trix to support the rabbit has become kind of pointless, so that's sad. But, hey, I guess as long as he still wants some, he deserves to have it. Especially now that nobody else in their right mind should want it.

I like being hardworking. Part of being a Hufflepuff, and nobody is going to make me feel bad about it.

Oh, oh, this cute guy at a pizza place near my house loves Harry Potter! He complimented my Hufflepuff hat and said he was so pissed about the postponement of the next film. I so love meeting fellow fans. :D

So back to my job. I feel my work ethic is wasted when nobody around me shares it. But I will not fall to the wisecracking, whiny little bitches who tease me for not sitting around chatting when the bosses are away. I have badger pride.

07:01 pm - Bookish things

My Brand New Title: Playing by the Rules

Not original enough? Well, it suits my novel, so I'm using it. For now.

I am still working on things, like adding flashbacks of previous forms for my angel. Not entirely sure it's a good idea, but hopefully I'll be able to get helpful feedback from friends soon. I at least want to add some more on the law firm, even if I scrap the plans for September and the flashbacks. So there is always more work to be done.

Currently reading Wildwood Dancing, which is incredibly intriguing. Can't wait to get home and read some more of it.

I absolutely do NOT want to see the Twilight movie. I re-read some of the books out of curiosity and it's actually worse than I thought. Why so many people adore this saga is millions of light years beyond me.

It's pretty. ^_^ It shows the words I use most often in my novel. Can you guess my main character's name? ;)

11:40 am - Fears and Broken Keyboards

NaNo - bad
Phone Calls - semi-bad
Apartment Search - OK

Why is my NaNo so hard to work on? I don't even know why I hate it so much. It's not that boring, when I really think about it. I think the r key on my laptop is breaking. Fucking great.

R key - bad

At least I managed to make a phone call. I'm still shaking. Hopefully the owner will be okay to talk to, when and if they call me back. I can pray. God damn R key!!! I feel like Robert Evans all of a sudden.

Arielle, Robert, September, Eric, Carolyn, three quarters of my characters have an R in their name. This is not going to be pretty if it craps out on me completely.

Deep breathing helps. Deep, deep breathing. I really do need a therapist. I wish I could find one without having to worry about whether or not I'll like her. I wish I had reviews to go by or something. At least a picture of the lady.

Therapy Search - bad

Oh, yeah, some guy won some kind of election. Haha!!

President-Elect Obama - good
The United States - very good
