one day I will rule the world...

Why is today going so slow? It's probably because all I want to do is lay in bed and read Eclipse. I only had a chance to read about two chapters yesterday and I want to devour it, but le sigh. Silly life interfers.

What does a girl have to do - who must she beg - to get some Jack Bauer (24), Sydney Bristow (Alias), and Jason Bourne (Bourne movies) fic where they are hanging out talking about being the elite at their jobs? Because that would rock and I don't want to have to do it.

Let's see if I can move a few more things for posterity over here. Consider yourselves warned.

About Writing from an author I love

An exercept from Michael Thomas Ford that explains me better than I ever could when it comes to writing.

[Note: I realize it probably says something about the astounding level of my laziness that I would sit here and type up someone else's words rather than think up my own.]

"Writers who claim they've wanted to write since the age of six and would die if they couldn't write are pathological liars.

I hate writing. In fact, I will do almost anything to avoid doing it, and actually getting me to produce something is no less a miracle than it must have been to construct the hanging gardens of Babylon. If it wasn't for the simple fact that I am totally unemployable in any other capacity, I probably wouldn't write at all. And if someone were to offer me a vast sum of cash to stop, I would. Why Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriter of such classics as Showgirls and Basic Instinct, and the highest-paid writer in Hollywood, refuses to make the same concession, I cannot understand. He's probably written since he was six.

Discovering this about me amazes people who know that I have made a living as a writer for several years now. This is because people have intersting ideas about writers. most think we spring from our beds each morning and leap to the keyboard to get down all the fresh ideas that have been birthed in the subconscious while we sleep. They envision us spending joyous days at the computer creating marvelous new worlds and turning out witty phrases left and right until, breathless from the acto fo creation and weak from forgetting to eat, we repair to the kitchen for a light snack of leftover sushi before settling down to watch something stimulating on PBS.

I do know writers like that, but they are not to be trusted, and I do not speak to them. My own life, and that of must full-time writers I know, is far less glamorous. How books are written remains a mystery I do not fully understand, even though I have produced close to two dozen of them. I know only that, in my case, they generally are pieced together in fits of activity that come between extended periods of not doing anything at all."

I'm too lazy for a move of any sort, even electronic...

Okay, I'm done moving stuff for the day. That was only the stuff I kept on my personal journal, which started me off for both personal/fannish stuff. I'm going to try to find an easier way for my storydivagirl account on livejournal as that's where the majority of my writing is.

In the meantime, if the worst ever happened with livejournal, I do still have everything (except some drabbles) posted on my website.

Bored. I should work on the numerous fics I owe people. Will I is the question though.

it's ladies night and the feeling's right...

Happiest of birthdays to three fabulous people born today!

Happy Birthday schneestern!
Happy Birthday obeetaybee!
Happy Birthday out_there!

If you guys would like a drabble, just let me know.

Saw Bourne Ultimatum. Loved it. I now want a fic where Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer (24), and Sydney Bristow (Alias) sit around talking about being the most awesome of agents! It would be awesome. They meet in a coffee shop in South America and just shoot the shit.

Who wants to write this for me? ::bats eyelashes::

I've started going through the poll results and adding people to my insanejournal (tommygirl), my journalfen (tommygirl), and my greatestjournal (dastardlyspoon). I'm not leaving livejournal yet, but I'm not sure how comfortable I'm feeling about posting an R-rated fic, so I might just post it at my insane journal, but link from here. That way people can still leave comments (I'm a comment whore), but it's not on LJ servers.

I was tagged by vampyreranger

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

1. I work as a volunteer for a local woman's center and I am highly involved with NARAL and Planned Parenthood because women's reproductive rights (well, all women's rights) are very important to me. My feminism is most definitely my guiding force as a voter.

2. Most people who know me say that I'm outgoing and easy to get to know, which I am to an extent, but I also have moments of shyness, usually where it takes me a little bit of time to feel comfortable around someone new.

3. I have a Mrs. Affleck purse that my mother bought me because when people used to ask me when I was going to get married, I would respond, "Whenever Ben Affleck asks me, otherwise eh." I've actually used this bag on more than one occasion for I am lame.

4. I worked in banking for far too long before leaving it behind for greener pastures (of non-profit - HA).

5. When I was seven, I won a computer programming award because in class I was trying to do one of the exercises on the Apple IIC (the turtle!) and I totally messed up and created some sort of weird design. I was the youngest of the winners, but I'm probably the only one who didn't mean to create something.

6. My sister and I had the most kick-ass lemonade stand when we were little. Our house was across the street from a park so we always scored. We even ended up in our local neighborhood paper as young entrepreneurs.

7. I met the boy when we were both freshmen in college, but we didn't start dating until ten years later.

**I tag anyone who wants to do it!
