No matter how old you get, sometimes all a person really needs is a hug from her mommy. I'm having a day of it and I'm not sure why. So my mom offered me a hug and while I'm not completely "yay life" now, I'm feeling a tad bit better. Like maybe I can accomplish something.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that my mother offered to do my towels tomorrow. Yay for getting out of laundry.

**

I might be working on *another* prompt community...this one involving a bunch of tables of lyrics from songs. And maybe putting together zip files of the music in case someone needs it. Because when I feel like my writing sucks, nothing says "PROCRASTINATE" like making a new community.

**

I set up an account at inksome as tommygirl. So if you're over there too, feel free to friend me.

I just watched two episodes of Iconoclasts on the Sundance Channel. I've seen them before as they're repeating seasons one, two, and three, but I adore watching it in the same way I like Inside the Actor's Studio. I find it so interesting to see two different public figures interacting. And it's fascinating to see these people's relationships with one another. Like the ones I watched this evening were Renee Zellweger & Christiane Amanpour, which was great, and Mario Batali & Michael Stipe, which was so awesome.

I like some REM music, but I'm not a huge fan, and despite my mother and sister's obsession with the Food Network, I know next to nothing about Mario Betali. That said, this was such a great episode. I walked away with a new appreciation for Michael Stipe.

Definitely recommend this show.

Today was a day of many errands and I have no idea where the day went. I'm having lunch with a friend tomorrow and then I'm hoping that I can just relax for the remainder of the day. How do weekends go so fast? I need some time to write. I need some ideas to write too.

I haven't even started my Supernatural Big Bang story. I know what I'm doing and I have a feeling that once I get into the story, it will flow...but the due date for the first draft is fast approaching and I would like to make the deadline.

First up though, I have to finish my bubbleficathon and femme ficathon pieces.

**

I see livejournal is at it again. And that would be why I bought the permanent account here after the first round of huge issues. Because I have a lot of paid time on my lj account from gifts from people and myself from awhile ago, but once it runs out, I don't think I'll be giving them any more money. And I'm not sure what will happen to mine, if I'll have the option of basic or be forced into evil plus accounts.

Anyway, now I'm off to find some season seven American Idol icons, specifically Jason Castro.
tommygirl: (the notebook - the kiss)
I don't mean to neglect this journal. I really enjoy Insanejournal, but I'm completely terrible with doing the duplicate entries and I don't always have access to the program for it anyway. And then there's the fact that work has been kicking my butt the past month.

**

When do we get some new Supernatural? I know with the writer's strike there aren't a lot left, but I need some Dean and Sam Winchester. I'm obsessed. I accept this. I think about those boys a whole lot more than will ever be deemed healthy, but I'm okay with it. And I need my fix.

**

Writing this month has not been happening. I want to entirely blame work and the fact that I'm exhausted when I get home, but I'm also feeling drained and uncreative. I want to write some Alice/Jasper from Twilight. I have a table of prompts to do for them, so I really should try it. I want to write some Ellie/Captain Awesome from Chuck because they are adorable. And then, like the crazy person I am, I signed up to do Supernatural Big Bang.

My reasoning seemed sound at the time. Back when I started with fanfiction, I used to write longer type pieces all the time. It was all I really did and then I got out of that practice...I'm still wordy as hell, but not quite in the way I used to be able to come up with ideas, plan, and write. SO I wanted to make sure that I could still do it.

Except now I'm panicking and it's not even officially underway. Go me?

Anyway, feel free to hit me with prompts of any fandoms that I know and I'll try to do them. I'm not making any promises, but I need to do something to get my writing brain moving again. So prompts! Please!
tommygirl: (4400 - threeway hug)
Writing is going terribly at this point. I hate when I'm perplexed by what to write for a challenge. I end up working myself up into a tizzy and it's supposed to be a challenge, not anxiety-inducing. Must write my undermistletoe fic! And yuletide! And Supernatural holidays fic!

**

I downloaded a client so that I could do crossposting to this account and journalfen along with livejournal, but the problem is...I tend to do a lot of updating while I'm at work and I can't download the client...so all my entries end up different because I'm far too lazy to copy/paste anything.

**

Anyone know how to set up RSS feed/livejournal account for your del.icio.us account? We decided to set one up for [insanejournal.com profile] polyfandomrecs for those that like recs as we add them rather than in the batches we tend to do. Any help is appreciated. I can't seem to figure it out on my own. I'm a tool.
tommygirl: (heroes - matt & mohinder)
Is livejournal moving very slow for anyone else out there? Argh. I guess it's a sign that I should be writing rather than procrastinating...but I just can't seem to settle my brain down enough to focus on any writing.

I did write four ficlets over the past four days and I have two stories with betas. So November and Mini-Nanowrimo are going rather well over all. I just have a lot on my writing to-do plate and this doesn't even make much of a dent at the moment. Oh, me and my love of challenges and over-committing myself. One day I will learn.

**

There needs to be more Alice/Jasper fic from Twilight. I've found tons of Edward/Bella and Jacob/Bella and yes, I understand they are the main love triangle...but Alice/Jasper rock! They are awesome as individuals and as a couple and nowhere in Eclipse did they make me want to kill any of them, unlike the three main characters.

There also needs to be more schmoopy Heroes Matt/Mohinder fic. Something with a possessive Mohinder or a hurt/comfort fic!

Actually, there needs to be more schmoopy fic, period. It's my favorite sort. Angst and dark fic are fine, but schmoop is something I always love, no matter what my mood. maybe I should run another round of Schmoopfest, but it'll probably wait until after the holidays.
tommygirl: (Default)
Argh. Does anyone know the trick to getting it to work for usernames that are the same? I'm having no problem posting to my livejournal (storydivagirl), my greatest journal (dastardlyspoon) and my insanejournal (tommygirl). But journalfen is also tommygirl. Ack.

Well, I guess it's cool. The ones I mostly wanted to do cross-posting to was livejournal/insanejournal for the time being.

Why must I be so technologically stupid?
tommygirl: (muppets - hawk (wth))
I doubt that I will ever give up my personal livejournal account. Maybe that makes me a horrible person, but I have over seven years worth of entries on my personal account and I like how it's set up. I'm not sure once the paid time runs out that I'll re-up that, but I'm simply going to admit that it's not likely to go away.

However, on the off chance that livejournal manages to piss me off in ways where I can no longer even justify associating with them...I feel like I should warn that I won't be separating fannish/personal anymore. I'll likely just add more of the personal to this account under friends lock. Also, I do discuss politics and my involvement in various issues in my personal journal - so that would migrate over too.

But, for the meantime, this shall remain like my storydivagirl account over at livejournal, primarily fannish.

**

I need to write. I should be writing, but none of the current projects I have to do are inspiring me.

So give me some of those Five Things prompts for any of the following fandoms: Supernatural, Charmed, Roswell, Ugly Betty, Heroes, Sports Night, Veritas, CW RPS, Nsync...

(And okay, if you know of another fandom that I do know, feel free to request that too)
tommygirl: (charmed - chris know me)
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.
tommygirl: (got porn)
I'm beginning to think that livejournal is run by people who have no idea what customer service is. I just read over their "clarification" of things and I just have more questions.

And why can't they just say - Look, it's not illegal per se, but we don't want it on our server. So if that's what you want to do, go somewhere else.

Instead they let people pour tons of money into their service and then randomly decide what constitutes possibly illegal by dubious standards.

**

Needless to say I will continue to move my fic over here. After all, what's to keep them from saying that my Michael/Maria Roswell fic is ILLEGAL since some of it was set while they were in high school (like on the actual show).

So yes, I'm sorry for the spamming, but I'm slowly moving these fics over. I plan to try to see if one of those transfer things will work for me, but I don't want to move everything. Le sigh.

fyi...

Hey guys! Just a warning that I'm going to attempt to move over some of my fiction/essays/posts I want to keep elsewhere this afternoon. So I might be spamming your friends page for the day. I apologize, but it's a necessary evil as I move more things over here. I'm not sure I'll do this at my other back-up journals, as I like IJ the best of all the other options out there.

But, in case any of you are looking for me elsewhere or wondering who has friended you on other sites:

- My Vox - Tommygirl - I use this mostly for personal stuff. There is no fannish content there, but feel free to friend away.

- My Greatest Journal - Dastardlyspoon - Yeah, I set this up eons ago, hence the reason it's not under Tommygirl. While it has a lot of icon spaces, I'm not sure GJ would be my first choice for immigration if necessary. But I'm there.

- My Journalfen - Tommygirl - Like here, I will probably move the fannish content I want kept over there as well, but not sure yet.

I also created a backup community for polyfandomrecs here on IJ - [insanejournal.com profile] polyfandomrecs, but have not begun trying to move anything over from there and Steph still needs to set up an account here.
tommygirl: (heroes - sylar evil laugh)
I guess I'm going to have to download semagic for the time being and figure out how to work it. I've never used one of the clients before. I've always just logged into the system...but I'm thinking for certain entries it would be easier to archive them on more than one site, especially the fic. I'm not sure about backdating all my entries. I mean, I have a back-up of them for my own personal records, but I'm not sure that I need to have it back up on the web. The only things I can think people would still want access to are the stories/recs, possibly my few takes at meta and personal essays. So is there a way to just transfer a select number of posts? Or would I have to do them all? I guess I'll need to look at all the posts people have linked to try to make sense of it.

But first, I'll have to get a copy of semagic, I guess.

Dude, Brimstone kicks ass. They're showing it on the Chiller channel, so I decided to give a go - after all Lionel Luthor as the devil and lost souls being sent back to hell? Sounds like my sort of show. And it's good stuff. Dark and raises a lot of questions about god and morality in the midst of a black-and-white ruled world.

I also gave Saving Grace, the new Holly Hunter show on TNT, a try. I watched the first two episodes and it was okay. It had some entertaining parts - I liked the character's annoyance with the angel in her life to help her - but other parts were just a bit heavy-handed and annoying. I might give it one more episode, but I don't really need anymore shows.

Stupid livejournal is giving me a headache. It won't load and I'm in no mood for battling with it. So over here I come to play. So who out there has the paid account? Is it worth the money? I really do think I want it because I'm a girl who hates ads, but I don't know...

New Harry Potter book in only a few days. I wasn't sure this day would ever get here. Alas, plans have changed and I won't be getting my book until Saturday morning on my way to work. But then I have off Sunday/Monday...

I'm just thinking I might need to avoid the internet until I've finished reading it. I would hate to have the very last book spoiled by an idiot.
tommygirl: (supernatural - sam (smile))
I think when I get paid tomorrow I'm going to spring for the permanent account over here. It's highly enjoyable and I figure I'll use it for something. Plus, more icons, and I'm an icon addict. It doesn't hurt that I'm still not quite sure how I feel about livejournal at the moment. I mean, I have no plans to give up my LJ accounts at the moment. They're paid through the fall at the very least. But I'm not getting the permanent account. Don't have 150 bucks to shell out on something I'm not sure I'll want around permanently.

This evening I went to the library and returned some books and picked up two more. How is that even with the library I still spend tons of money on books? I have a problem. But then I tell myself, "being literate is a good thing, not a problem." Of course, my wallet begs to differ.
tommygirl: (prison break - brothers)
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I'm going to do with this journal. I was out of commission last week due to illness and today has been crazy as I try to get my head back into work/life.

It's hot as hell and I'm tired and I didn't get to see the premiere of 4400 or Entourage last night. This makes me sad. But hopefully tonight, I'll have some time for viewing.

**

If you want a drabble, it's not too late to make a request. due to illness last week, I didn't get to them, so I'll be working on them tomorrow.
tommygirl: (Default)
I am finding Insane Journal rather amusing, which is nice considering the fact that my head hurts like hell.

I still haven't decided how I will use this, but Lara can actually access this site (hello Lara!!!), so maybe I will post little story bits for her amusement from time to time. Nothing very different from what we do now via email. heh.

Anyway, I can also be found on livejournal (storydivagirl or randombtchchick) and vox (tommygirl). Chances are that if I've friended you, I know you from one of those communities or just found you interesting.
