10:47 pm Tomorrow is friday!*does a happy dance* I haven't had a good weekend in 2 weeks. I am watching New Moon this weekend with Iseol and then I am going to talk her into coming to the market with me. My mom is going to try and find me Anannsy Boys in paperback this weekend so I might be getting one with me as well. I am, however, spending sunday in Buy the Book with the awesome owner and the awesome books. I really hope she has found all the rest of the Mercedes Lackey books. She said she has the whole series so when she gets the rest, I am going to buy them and since they are a pain to find in the US, I am going to take them back with me. I am getting a hamster for my B-day. I wanted something furry and those don't live more than 3-4 years so it is perfect...The one that I want is small, cute and it is white with big black spots...I have decided, when I get it its name will be Xemnas!!! ^^ They are like W8000 each wich is like $7.5 I might get a second one later as well. It will not cost me more than $50 to have everything I need and I will have a FURRY XEMNAS!!! YAY!!! Anyway, my mom is sending me my presents on monday so I will get it about a week later so perfect for my b-day. YAY. Now back to Farscape... P.S. I finished my Slytherin scarf and am making a scarf for Todd before I can make my Griffindor. Current Mood: complacent

05:12 pm - I've been awake for too long They're doing inspections next week, so I spent more than I should have to get cleaners in. So that was me having to be awake from around noon to around two. But it doesn't stop there, because I am expecting a Hookah-Shisha.com package from UPS, and the only way I can be sure of getting a UPS delivery without a hitch is by having the door open. Thankfully, the screen door latch is fixed! But UPS is yet to arrive, although the tracking info says all is well. Did I mention that it's raining and chilly? 43 may not be cold in New England in December, but it is in Texas. And the rainy, especially, makes me stiff and sore. I've got semi-plans with doombuggie, but if UPS doesn't show soon they won't be able to happen :( I'm miserably cold and stiff anyway. I just want to be warm. Current Mood: cold

11:08 am - Fic: Pity Us, We Wakeful (Willow/Spike/Angel) 13/? FRAO/NC-17 Another Monday, another chapter. This one is very much a set-up chapter, so be prepared for lots of action later this week! Gabrielle Title: Pity Us, We Wakeful (Chapter Thirteen) Author: Gabrielle Pairing: Willow/Spike/Angel (mentions of Spike/Buffy and Willow/Tara) Rating: FRAO/NC-17 (this chapter PG-13) Summary: *Set during Season Six of BTVS and Season Three of A:tS* When Willow's addiction to magic destroys her relationship with Tara and results in grave injury to Dawn, Buffy decides that Willow's recovery will go better away from the Hellmouth. Word Count: 2882 The Blue Pencil Crew: The absolutely stupendous lilbreck and the outrageously awesome purplefeen. Feedback: Please. Distribution: My LJ, my IJ, and my site only. Disclaimer: I own nothing. It all belongs to Joss and a bunch of other people who are not now and have never been me. Author's Notes: This is a very radical re-imagining of a long ago trilogy of mine which began with a story called Tangled Web. This story will differ in innumerable ways from that series.

09:39 pm The Pancake lade apparently makes not only yummy pancakes but also yummy Mandou(like dumplings but very big with rice inside) and hamburgers(only the meat). So, I bought some pancakes for desert for me and breakfast for the roommate and I also got about 6 burger patties. This will be pretty much my food for most of the rest of the week...I am sad, leave me alone! It's yummy and I am saving money as well. YAY In other news, I have a meeting tomorrow morning and it means that I will be out of my house for work for 12 hours. What sucks, those 3 hours that we have to be at work extra we are not getting payed for. I need to do my homework for YMCA but am tired and want to watch Eureka. And no, I didn't type anything this weekend but I have a great excuse:I had to work!!! I got Aaron addicted to Eureka so now I just need to make him catch up...I am hoping Buffy will finish downloading soon so I can have a marathon. YAY I am almost done getting all the presents, I got plate thingies for my mom and her friends, now I just need to finish up and find what else I am sending to my mom...Tex is hard to shop for but I think I might have found something... Anyway, now onto Eureka! p.s. OMG, Merling came out Sat and I forgot, got to load episode*runs off to hunt down merlin* Current Mood: cold

11:01 pm - Ok, what? My grandmother sent me this "cutesy" email forward about how awesome dogs are and how aloof and uncaring cats are. I sent her pictures of her great-grand-kitties. I have an upset tummy and a slightly whiny back. Oh, for a bottle of ginger beer and a gentle backrub! I might have to use my Hitachi Magic Wand for its officially intended purpose.

04:45 pm - Yeah, it's the winter of my discontent all right. More stress today; had to call to switch my Medicare Part D insurance plan to one where I wouldn't have to pay a premium. Enrolled over the phone. My hands were shaking the whole time. I almost dropped the phone. Tomorrow I need to get ahold of Molly Maid so I don't have to worry about my place being a sty for the inspection on the 8th. Why the hell they are doing inspections now is anyone's guess. I just hope it's not the 3rd, because if it is I'll have to reschedule my MHMR appointment. But I am valiumed up now and sleep will be soo.

06:54 pm Ladies and gentlemen, I have an x-mas tree!!! It is small and cute and shiny(literarly since it has lights) and it has a chrismass hat on top. I have told my mom to send me my presents wrapped so I can put them under my tree(literarly the tree is too small otherwise). I spend about 45 dollars but that was for the tree, decorations, candy for me and the kids at school(because I am candy santa) and pencil presents. Not bad really. Tomorrow I am going to a turkey dinner since my roomie wants to go to one bad, he misses thanksgiving, and then I will pick up my ring and drag him home to watch Harry Potter. He finished the first book today. I have to wait about 2 weeks for him to buy the rest of the books but at least I got him hooked on the series. I wonder what should I give him for his b-day(it is the day after x-mas). Maybe I can make him a griffindor scarf by then but that means I need to start now...well, here goes nothing... *goes off to watch Eurika and make the scarf* Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Tsubasa - run for your life

12:56 pm - And here I thought I'd have a couple of weeks to relax In the mail (I only check my mail every couple of days, I checked it last night) I got 1) a notice of an inspection on the 8th and 2) paperwork to fill out because Social Security is reviewing my Disability. It's too damn much. Why the hell are they doing inspections NOW? And I know they do periodic reviews of SSDI cases, but god, the TIMING! Current Mood: stressed

10:48 pm I am going to be a good girl today and go to bed early. I have done in my quota for the day in my notebook and while I already know that a lot will be changed and rewritten, I have still worked enough on it so that the story is moving forward...I will have to type it up this weekend so there isn't enough change that later on it changes the story itself. I will probably have to print it out at work to reference when I write...it is 16 pages now by the time I am done typing this weekend it might be 20 something...and I am still in chapter 1...damn...I have to admit, this is the best I have ever written and this story is really good if I do say so myself...it will probably pass the 15,000 words mark this weekend...damn...and still on chapter one... I am contemplating canceling on my boss tomorrow. I ran out of birthcontrol on Sunday so now I am in lots of pain-cramps which is what I was taking them for. I haven't had the chance to replace them but will probably have to do that on Friday. I will also have to pick up my ring from the jewlerer. I am giving my mom the list of things to send me on Thursday. TJ, if you have my bracelet made, give it to my mom at work(singing river electric) and she will send it to me but it has to be soon. Your presents will be send to her. I will let you know when she has them and she will bring them with her to work so you can picj them up from there. I am going to be a good girl now and go to bed. It is early but I am sooooo tired and if I wait another half an hour I will get my energy back again and will not be able to sleep until 2...maybe if I wake up early enough I can go to the doctor tomorrow...doubt it, I don't think the guy opens until like 10 and my lunch with Boss woman is at 11:30...we'll see....night now...

10:39 pm So, I just read two of Accio's het recs...how sad is it that apparently 2 hets are my limit per night...I mean, they were good, nothing like slash of course, but the thought of reading another het, no matter how good, makes me cringe...it is official...I am a slash monster...I like having het sex, I wouldn't ming(will prefer) a threesome but reading het is apparently really not my thing...not when the sex is descriptive...weird...

08:34 pm - Stuff Okay, important thing first. There's a bill to outlaw mail order sales of tobacco in the US. Cigars will be the only exemption. This effects me personally, of course, because I buy my shisha mailorder as much for variety as for price. I know it's only an online petition, but would some of you consider signing this? I'm sure many if not most of you are nonsmokers, but I see it as a personal freedom issue. Went out with doombuggie last night. He convinced me to check out this new bar downtown. Too loud for my comfort level, but not as bad as most clubs, and it wasn't even remotely crowded so that wasn't so bad, and we didn't stay very long. After that he took me to HEB so I could make a much-needed grocery run. It wasn't pleasant; it was late enough that the restockers were out, clogging up the aisles, but close enough to Thanksgiving that it was still crowded, even at 11. I was so glad to get out of there! We dropped my stuff off and went to Epoch, because doombuggie had plans to meet up with a friend and Epoch's cool anyway. I mostly just zoned out while they talked. doombuggie was concerned about me looking like I was falling asleep in my seat! I was fine, though, just sort of inert. Conked pretty hard when I got home, though. It was a pretty good night. Had a good experience with complex maintenance. The latch on my screen door has been sticking and last night I pretty much had to break out, so this morning I called maintenance (which is dispatched from a central office, you don't call the complex you're in). Guy showed up this afternoon; I'd met him briefly once or twice. Friendly, polite, competent. We chatted a little while he fixed the latch and he complimented my skull pajamas. No unneeded stress, and my screen door is fixed. ( Moping about Thanksgiving ) Current Mood: melancholy Current Music: Coast to Coast

09:36 pm My boss has gotten out of her snit...lets hope this doesn't jinx it. Instead she has fixated on Aaron again...I feel bad for him but am glad she is no longer freaking out about everything I do. I have to make my list of things that my mom has to send me...here is what I have so far: Neverwhere American Gods Anansy Boys 2 pairs of cons she bought me the stuff from NY she got me a bag of Recess cups(or however they are spelled) for Iris ... That is all I have for now...I don't know what else there is really...I mean, there are a few things that I would rather have here with me but I am SO not asking my mom to go, find them, and pack them...like my flogger, yeah NO! My feet are killing me since I wore my boots of AWESOME today but that is to be expected since they are 4 inch hills. They are the only nice black shoes I have that I can wear with my dressy pants so I have asked my mom to keep an eye out for some flat ones...I love my boots but they kill my feet. The boss woman has asked all the ENTs to go to lunch with her on Thursday...none of us want to go, especially Aaron and I...seriously, we would rather stab our eyes out first but we can't decline if we don't want to be even more on her bad side. Really, I am just going to do my year here and then move onto a better school. I have been writing my story of Doom. I am kind of impressed actually. I have written about 1000 words in the last few days. I write when I have nothing to do at school now instead of drawing and am ending up getting closer to my quota. Of coarse, all of that will have to be transfered on the computer which means a whole lot will be added and a lot might be deleted but at least I am working towards my goal...sad thing is, I know the story up until the end of chapter 2...that might be about 20,000 words from now but that is all I know. Really, I know just the premise of the story. I have no idea where it is going or what will happen after that or even how the story finishes...I have also not given any details to anyone. Really no one knows anything about it except that it is an HP fic and a Snarry. I have promised myself that I will not say anything until the whole thing is done and edited. I think the main reason is that I have never been able to finish a long chapter fic which I have posted each chapter to. I don't know why but having those chapters posted makes me bored of writing the damn thing. Which means, I have decided to try finishing the whole story before I introduce it to the world...I want ppl to read it but since for the to happen it has to be finished, it makes me write...funny thing is, even though I want ppl to read it, I am really writing it for myself. It is a story that I have wanted to read for a while, even though some parts of it fall into certain types of fics, I have still wanted to read this particular story. Maybe is it already out there or maybe not, it doesn't matter, I want to write it and finish it. I hope you guys like it when it is done...that might be a year or two from now though so there goes that... Anyway, I am also watching some more anime and fallowing on fic recs from ppl I have learned have good tastes. being one of them. I am also insanely obsessed with Merlin right now so if you have any recs for Merlin/Arthur, pls send them my way. I think this is all for now...

11:20 am - Because "it goes without saying" isn't a good enough reason not to say it You're awesome, waywardoctagon. You kick ass in so many ways, and getting into the Company series is only a recent way. It was so much fun being able to finally "Yes! Yes! Totally yes!" with someone over all the Lewis/Joseph-Aziraphale/Crowley parallels, and to snicker at( tiny tiny spoiler ). I'm looking massively forward to squeeing with you over some of the later stuff. Oh god, Latif in "The Young Master"! Labienus in general in Children of the Company! Much other coolness that I can't even mention yet! We must recruit more *casts thoughtful gaze at zarla* Current Mood: lethargic

10:03 pm - Hunh. One big-ass portion of noodles, meat, and Chinese broccoli at a Thai place = four meals for me. Dinner last night, breakfast today, and dinner today, with enough remaining for either breakfast or lunch tomorrow. goddessgoddess, thank T. again for me, would you? And what was the name of that place? It was yummy. Thinking of plugging iDoser and drifting off with some aural opium.

10:18 pm - I had no icon for this entry. So I am using this one because it is fun. :3 :3 ;3 Dear Muses, Now that I'm starting on the Zero Princess Saga/Void Space Saga/Whatever the hell you want to call this series, Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, turn this into Viceroyverse done Kairi/Rinoa Style. Please. I don't care how well it works, I don't care that it works on a multitude of levels. I don't care if it'd be cute (and about a quarter as creepy as Quistis/Kairi is!). I don't care if it makes a lot more sense than any other Kairi pairing in existence, Sora/Kairi included. But the Nonsense of Sora/Kairi is another show rant. Aaaanyway, no one would read it. Even if it is a really good idea-- No. No. If you try and steer it in that direction, and we know that the one-sided Rinoa/Kairi in Braceletverse is enough, I will turn this brain around and write...umm... I WILL MAKE US WRITE MPREG. SORA/KAIRI MPREG. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!? No love, Jordi.
