woe betide

tommygirlBusy few days at work means that I have written little to nothing and have come to the startling realization that almost every ficathon piece is due this Saturday!. My head is going to explode. Luckily writing Charmed comes fairly easily for me (Dear muses, please do not abandon me for saying such things) and I have a good idea of what I want to do with my two lines piece.
Now I just have to write them.
Why do I do these things to myself? Why do I wait until the last possible minute? I wonder how much better I would be if I slaved over for a few weeks. Eh. Probably not too much better because I tend to second guess and do unnecessary massive rewrites at such times--hence the reason I try not to edit until first drafts are complete.
Luckily, the sister (also the roommate) started training at her new job this week and she'll be working all day on Saturday. That means I'll have the apartment to myself (well, okay, might not if Steve decides to come down this weekend) and can get some writing done. Also, don't have film class Sunday which frees up that day as well.
So I shall make my deadlines. Oh yes.
But send me good writing vibes anyway.

I love Greenlee. I love the actress who plays her. I love the character, good and bad. I love her with Ryan.
Apparently that makes me persona non grata at the ABC message boards. I'm not usually a message board girl, but I wanted to find out the name of that damn elusive song playing while Kendall went crazy on the beach and they did the flashbacks.
So I go there and it's all this Greenlee bashing and when someone defends Greenlee, the Kendall people say that she must be some "teeny" who doesn't know the real world.
Grrr...
Greenlee is not a perfect person. She never claims to be, but as far as hands that are dealt, she got a far worse one that Kendall. In that a lot of the things that happened to Greenlee have been out of her control...her parents being the way they were, not knowing Jack was her dad and finding out the way she did, losing Leo. That's not to say she hasn't done horrible things, but I'm more lenient because of those other things she's been through and the way they've made her less concerned with other people--more convinced that if she doesn't look out for herself, no one else will.
Then you have Kendall. Yes, her birth father was a monster...but she came into town with a vendetta for no reason. It wasn't like she grew up with horrible adoptive parents--her parents loved her and took care of her best as they could. And then with Ryan, she's the one who blew it with him time and time again.
It wasn't Greenlee's fault. Even if you're not a Rylee fan (which, why the hell not...they have so much more chemistry than Kendall and Ryan ever did? They have so much more potential), Greenlee was not the one who proposed. Greenlee didn't force Ryan to choose her that day on the island. Greenlee hasn't done anything to manipulate Ryan's feelings for her. So if you're going to blame someone other than Kendall about the Rylee, blame Ryan.
And as for Greenlee's tantrum on Monday in the hospital. Imagine it from her point of view. She's lost one husband to a crazy psycho, to someone that she kept swearing was out to get her and Leo and people brushed her off...and she thinks it's happening again...and her dad seems more concerned with Kendall than her. I understand that momentary pang of "what about me" that she's having. It's not to say she's right, but I get where it's coming from.

No wonder my chances of winning are so low--who's in charge of getting donations for my campaign, dammit?

Is it time for the Smallville premiere yet? I've managed to remain spoiler-free, but those damn promos are killing me. Must. Start. Soon.
It feels so weird not to have alias to watch right now. I understand their reasons for waiting, but it doesn't make it any easier. No, what will end up happening is that I will get sucked into Jack & Bobby and then have to pull myself away for my alias because that's the most important.
Okay, there are a few important ones.
Damn I watch too much television.
