Here I Am

Hey guys! So I have now been in my new house. My mother paid to have all the carpets cleaned, so that was my evening. Of course, because this is me, it couldn't go off easily. No, there were issues with the walk-through of the house (as in the windows they agreed to fix...they fixed DIFFERENT windows and not the ones with the issues). Argh. Luckily, my friend's dad said he'd take care of it really cheaply.

Anyway, I should be around a little tomorrow, but then the actual move comes up and I'm not sure when I'll be back online. But, I have to go sit there in the empty house and wait for Verizon on Wednesday morning...so leave me prompts and I'll do them in a notebook while I'm waiting.

So yes, until tomorrow around 3pm, you guys have time to get me in some drabble requests.

And now I must go collapse. This being adult stuff is tiring!

P.S. - Thank you phoebesmum for the card! It was almost as lovely as you are!

So very sleepy. I have another sinus infection and the meds just knock me off my feet. I'd really like to understand why sinuses are so necessary rather than having my doctor chuckle at me every time I grumble about these stupid things. Apparently, living in Jersey = very bad sinuses/allergies no matter what.

While I was wallowing at home, my sister went over to the inspection on the house we're buying. Overall, nothing major except carpentar ants (::shudders::) that the current owners are dealing with before settlement. Oh, this adult stuff is hard and scary and I've signed over my soul and...eep.

Do you think I can hire Jared and Jensen to come pack for me? And to do it shirtless?

The thing I have found about fic in both David Cook RPS (yes, I'm a complete and utter LOSER! I accept this!) and Chronicles of Narnia fandom is that a lot of it is WIPs. Like a major fuckton of WIPs. And I just don't read those. I wait until a long story is done. Because I know how I have been in the past with WIPs (who's still waiting for chapter updates on Trouble In My Head?) and I understand how authors get distracted or busy or just bored with their own stories...so I'm afraid of getting sucked in for the story to never finish.

But it makes it rather hard to find decent fic to read in the interim. And even when the WIPs are done, I'm not sure I have a lot of time to invest in a 41 chapter story.

I've been spoiled by Supernatural fandom. there is so much fic produced on a daily basis that there's something for everyone.

Quick note from work...first day back at work since move last Thursday. Still no Internet, but they're supposed to be out today to get us set up.

Already talked to the moderators of certain challenges that were due last week. The stories and fan mix will be up in the next forty-eight hours, once I have internet access at home.

Am surely way behind on friends list as I haven't read it since last Wednesday - so let me know of anything important.

Ciao amigos!

I cannot decide if it's the current CMM stuff going round the friends list (::looks at joyfulgirl41::) or the fact that I watched, on purpose, House of Wax last night before I went to bed. But I had the weirdest Supernatural dream featuring CMM in it.

In it Dean and CMM (with his longer, Dawson's Creek hair) were stuck in some sort of crypt and then something happens and CMM is taking off Dean's pendant.

Well, that was a very bad thing to do because suddenly Dean starts convulsing and ends up in pain and then in the dream I flashback to when Dean got the pendant and apparently it was to cure some sort of curse he suffered. So yeah, CMM is freaking out and Dean is in pain and where the hell is Sam?

Apparently, Sam is having lunch with some friends. Finally realizes "hey, I haven't heard from my brother in forever, I wonder how things went at that crypt..." and goes looking for his brother.

Then I wake up. I have no idea if my poor Dean was saved nor do I know why CMM would be helping Dean out on a case. I must say that I was intrigued by it though.

Anyway, House of Wax terrible movie. Jared sporting a stache is even worse. Dude, he shouldn't do that. Ever again. But I can picture Jensen mocking him for it. Like somehow they get on the topic of really bad moments in their careers and Jensen mocks that...and then Jared starts quoting the really out there Days moments...and then Jensen comes back with the fact that Jared was in an Olsen twins movie.

I really need to get out more.

( then answer these questions based on the list... )

My Remix is done. Well, almost. I'm waiting to get it back from the second of my two betas before sending it to musesfool this afternoon. I prefer to have both the betas go over things because they're both good at different things and honestly, nobody rips my stuff apart quite like Steph. But it's done. I must admit to worrying about this one in a way I don't normally, but it's done and I don't think it's too shabby.

Now just to get the last of the beta work back so I can be free of it.

This weekend was the laziest of all my life, I think. I'm pretty sure I'm battling off the early signs of a sinus infection, so that might be why I was so dead to the world. But really, all I did was sleep, watch movies, and sleep some more. I think I was awake for a total of ten hours from Friday night on. It was fabulous.

Of course, now I'm freaking out because NO writing was accomplished and I really didn't get anything done around the house.

My roommates and I were lazing about yesterday watching Project Runway and it was offered up that it's probably because this was the first weekend where we weren't all running around because of the open houses or people coming to look at the place, etc. And we needed it.

Le sigh.

Definitely nice to not have to do anything.

But it makes for an evil Monday morning, let me tell ya.

GIP, GIP, GIP...much love to Vera because it totally rocks and stuff. It's Winchester meets Halliwell - all my boys in one itty, bitty icon! Now I have to finish the next story in that world, I guess.

The Oscars were okay. Jon Stewart rocked. Loved the smear campaign ad pieces. But there were no real surprises this year in any categories. Though I think Jessica Alba has turned me gay. She looked so freaking good last night. So very good.

( Is it still spoilery? Just to be safe... )

So much writing to do. Again, another weekend where I didn't write. In fairness, Terry and the sister dragged me furniture shopping on Saturday so that we could get an idea for what we wanted/needed when we move (Again! Gah!) Then Sunday there was another open house so we have to vacate the premises for the day...and came home just in time for Oscar fun. Really. I just want to have a weekend to myself. Is that too much to ask?

Dear Jared and Jensen:

I saw many new pictures of the two of you via pictures posted by estrella30 and stone_princess. While you both look very hot, you need to STOP making my brain freak out and think up new little plot bunnies for you. I'm moving. I do not have time to write you two disappearing from the red carpet, Jensen pushing Jared up against the wall, and Jared biting down on his lip to keep from moaning too loud because they don't want to get caught.

Damn you! Why must you be so hot? Why must you practically scream aloud that the two of you are more than co-stars?

Now, if the two of you will come move me into the new place shirtless, I'll write the new scene.

Am going to kill someone soon. Still have more packing to do. Wondering when the hell I got so much crap and do I really need it all? Maybe I will become a Buddhist and give up earthly possessions - yeah, not likely to happen. I'm far to materialistic for that to work and one doesn't just throw away coach handbags.

**

Supernatural rocked on Tuesday night. I've watched it approximately seven times while packing. God, I love those boys. I love the brotherly relationship they have. I love that while Dean was upset with Sam for dragging him to a place like that, he still went through with it for his brother. And you know Dean would've done EXACTLY the same thing to keep Sam alive and kickin'.

24 might kill me this season from the sheer awesomeness. Like if it's this good in the first 4 hours of the day, how much better will it get? I shouldn't be surprised. There has never been a bad season on this show. Not. A. One.

I'm at work today. The one day this week that I'm working. Mostly because I wanted to get some work-related things done and because I can't take any more moving-related stuff for a few hours. I need a break or I'm likely to start hurling my belongings off my balcony. Somehow I don't think that will go over well.

Not much else to report. The move is on Saturday. Hopefully then things will quiet down and I can get back to important things like fandom fun.

Ciao mis amigos!

Not only have I stumbled upon stories for the picfor1000 already, they're all really good and make me feel inadequate. I haven't even thought about mine beyond, "I think this will be an Entourage fic." Nothing more than that. No idea if in this fic it will be Vince/Eric or just friendship or maybe a mixture of both. No words written on it at all. I'm a lazy, lazy fangirl.

I also had an evil plot bunny that has taken over my brain for Supernatural. Full of angst and hijinks and a little mishap involving a genie. Er...I cannot be held responsible for the plot bunnies that plague me after I ingest four cans of Diet Coke.

The problem is: I have no time for this at the moment. I need to spend all my time packing. And moving. Moving and packing. My friend wants me to move in by like January 25th! that's too soon, I want to cry. But if I say that she really will cry and emotionally-unavailable people like me get uncomfortable in those situations.

( My fannish to-do list. Pass right on over unless you want to see how far behind I am on everything... )

I posted more about this in my personal journal, but yesterday an old lady crashed her sedan into our office building. No one was hurt, merely perplexed as my building is located at the top of a hill. She must of HIT that gas in the parking lot.

Is it wrong that I found the whole thing amusing?

dragonsinger: Did you post your General Female Ficathon piece? I'm just wondering if I should still do my back-up as I haven't heard anything from the moderator yet. Oh the confusion! Hee.

**

Not much else going on. I get to spend my long weekend (plus two extra days of my vacation time) packing, moving, weeping...fun times. You're all jealous, I know.

In case I'm not around, have a great weekend! (Feel free to write me lots of Supernatural fic to support my pity party! I'm okay with that.)
