Here I Am

Dear All My Children,

Please make Annie go away. She's so annoying. She should be jealous of Greenlee. Greenlee is awesome and a helluva lot more interesting. I'm hardly on board with Greenlee/Ryan, but I'd prefer that to any more Annie.

No Love,

Tommygirl


Seriously, my friends. Annie needs to go away. It's not often I want to punch fictional characters in the face, but she makes me want to.

I'm not sure how I feel about Ryan's catalyst to remembering being how much he still loves/wants Greenlee. I'm a Greenlee/Aidan girl and they have so much potential to become a supercouple like Luke/Laura with capers and intrigue.

Jesse and Angie continue to make me happy. And I love Jesse, as the most awesome police commissioner in the world.

My day today was made up of the following:

-Got up and worked until 2:30pm
-Ran a few errands
-Came home to nap at 4pm and slept until 8pm

And now I'm getting ready to go back to bed. Yay sinus pain!

In the meantime, don't forget to leave prompts for the five days of drabble-a-thons and get friends to do the same. Even if you're not sure you're going to participate, feel free to leave prompts (prompts will be taking the day of, but I figure having some to get people started is never a bad thing).

So that plan to read fic today? Yeah, I ended up in the emergency room at three. I have a slight kidney infection, but it was hurting like hell and my doctor said to go to the ER. All is well now. I'm fine with pain killers and antibiotics and tomorrow I follow up with my regular doctor and should be back to work. But gah. I am a baby when it comes to pain and it was bad.

Never before have I suffered a kidney infection.

Oh, and I have a gall stone (saw that on the Catscan), but since it's not causing problems (::knocks on wood::), I was told just to not eat greasy/fried foods too much. I can do that because I don't want any freaking gall bladder problems.

I swear, I thought 2008 was supposed to be a better year for me, man.

**

I am sleepy now but until the pain killers kick in, I think I will read schmoopy sam and dean.

::huggles y'all::

Why must work and life be so crazy at the same time that I'm struggling with my writing? I've gone through two drafts of my bubbleficathon (which was due over a week ago and I'm not usually this late and I feel so bad) and it's utter crap. I refuse to give someone a crappy story, especially a late, crappy story. And I know most of it is probably all my own machinations. I'm overthinking and over-editing until I just want to scream and/or delete what I have.

::deep, calming breathes::

Oh, I shall beat this story into submission with a shot gun of rock salt if I have to.

**

Because of said troubles above, I'm almost positive that I will not be finished a draft in time for SPN Big Bang. Getting pneumonia/work insanity/writing woes just don't aid the telling of a 20,000 word story. That said...I still do want to write the WIANSB episode of SPN from Sam's perspective, so that will get done at some point.

**

Onto good news...I had a follow up appointment with the doctor today and my lungs are finally clear! My pneumonia is gone! I have to wait another few weeks before I'm allowed to exercise and such, but after the relapse and stress of the whole situation, it's nice to know I'm on the road to recovery.

**

I'm behind on friends list and I apologize, but seriously, no free time at the moment. I'm not ignoring y'all. I'm hoping to spend a chunk of my weekend playing around onlline. I miss fandom fun. ::Huggles y'all:: But for now, I'm sleepy, so I shall go watch the results of AI and then sleep.

I returned to work today to much insanity. At one point today, I seriously thought I was going to have a relapse of the worst of my pneumonia caused by stress...hopefully, that will not happen. Hopefully, come Wednesday afternoon during my next doctor's appointment, I'll find that I am getting much better.

So very exhausted at the moment after working an extra hour at the office. I actually like being the only one there without having to worry about phones and being interrupted - I get stuff done.

**

I'm going to wait to watch the season finale of Terminator until later. I want it to last. Am also happy about the Supernatural renewal - yay for more Sam and Dean and their amazing love.

**

My life is so sad at the moment. I need to write some schmoopy fic. Hit me with some schmoopy, fluffy prompts!

**

Anyway, friends list, I just want to say that I love you all. Each of you is awesome and wonderful and talented in your own ways. ::huggles::

So I have to go back to the doctor again tomorrow morning because I'm getting sicker rather than better. Apparently, I am immune to the meds. Lovely. ::stabs self::

Anyway, point of this post, was to ask the all-knowing friends list for help with two things:

1) My sister's friend has discovered fanfiction, but she's reading at the horrible, bad place of fanfiction.net...so where can I point her for good Labyrinth fic? I have no idea where to find that as it's not my fandom. Any recs?

2) So marishna made me this beautiful layout. And I figured out most of it on my own (a triumph in and of itself since I'm a tool), but I can't figure out the margins. Anyone out there able to help me? I don't want to wreck such a pretty header because of my idiocy.


It's safe to use this icon now, right? It's not even last week's episode and y'all know how I feel about the hugging...

Now it's time to begin my yuletide freak out. I have ideas on what to write, but getting it out is a pain in my butt. I really want to write something that my person will love and I'm currently struggling to do it. It will come though. Just need to ponder. Just need to figure out how to get it started.

**

This weekend was supposed to be about catching up on fannish endeavors and such, but my sinuses decided to go crazy again. I spent a large portion of my time sleeping. And then watching cheesy holiday movies.

And then that got me to thinking about running an informal multifandom challenge based around taking a fandom/pairing and putting them into one of the cheesy holiday movies. For example, Dean gets sucked into a Snowglobe and has to deal with a perfect little holiday village. Or Sam sees what his life would be like in a perfect world...or...

Damn me and my random ideas.

**

I really hope all this sleeping won't mess me up tonight. Because that leads to being extremely tired at work and that will annoy me.

Happy Birthday hyperfocused!!!

I hope you have a fabulous day, complete with pampering and whatever you wish for!

Just let me know the fandom/pairing/prompt you'd like for your b-day ficlet and one day it will be yours. Hee.

**

Back to work today, which was crazy. Thanks to all this illness stuff, I seem to be going through cycles where I'm sick, miss work, and come back to so much work. I just get caught up, and find I'm sick again. Le sigh.

I really am hoping that between today and tomorrow I'll get caught up on work and can finish some of my fannish committments. I feel so completely out of it fandomwise lately. It's a sad thing.

**

On a much brighter side, Steph and I were chatting yesterday and there is only a little over two weeks until winchestercon! Who all is going? I can't wait to meet some of y'all and hopefully I won't scare you guys too much. Not only that, but after the con ends on Sunday, I get to spend some time with Bebel until Thursday! Woo-hoo!

Can anyone explain to me why sinuses are so important? Because I'm so very close to just stabbing them out with a fork. I bet it would hurt less than this never ending pain.

And yes, I'm a huge baby. This is why I can never get pregnant, people. I don't do well with pain.

I got up early due to head pain, but I was gonna suck it up. So I got ready for work with time to chat on AIM with vinylroad for a bit (who has finished more Sam/Jess/Dean - mwah)...and then I got violently sick. Lovely times.

And on top of that? I don't get to see Harry Potter until Friday. Oh the pain of my life. So what if people are truly suffering in this world and don't have things like food or shelter? I have to wait to see Harry Potter!

So I took part in the interview meme going around again because I'm vain and enjoy talking about myself.

( questions from shay_renoylds )

( Questions from musesfool )

( Questions from giddygeek... )


( and last but not least, questions from queenofhell )

How is it that I slept most of my day away and I'm *still* tired? I can't even blame it completely on the meds...I'm just really lethargic.

But now I'm going to catch up friends list and edit threesome fic because it's gonna be awesome.

Ciao.

These sudden shifts in weather have finally caught up with me, despite my best attempts at averting it with lots of vitamins. Now I have a stupid cold and I haven't really been out of bed today...sometimes laptops come in handy. So yeah, my procrastination combined with this illness means that my slashfest story is not done, so I will be banned from the next two rounds. Oh well. Sometimes these things happen.

Hopefully I feel better by tomorrow as I have a staff meeting tomorrow and I'm not sure it would be a good idea to miss it.

**

So I got caught up on Brothers & Sisters last night so that I'm ready for this week. I love every member of the Walker clan, though Kevin and Justin are my favorites. I mean, I even love Kitty, who is a Republican. And it's really weird having Rob Lowe, who will always be Sam Seaborne to me, playing a *republican* senator.

I also rewatched a bit of Heroes again to prepare for tomorrow night. WHEEEEE! Finally! More Heroes! More Nathan and Hiro and Peter and Claire and...hopefully some answers to questions and some brotherly love from Nathan. Love this show. I made a dvd of the episodes up until now and gave it to my co-worker, John, who is now hooked on the show too. Finally someone at work to talk about it with.

Then this morning when i couldn't sleep I watched this special on Jonestown on the History channel. So creepy. First, it freaks me out that so many people got sucked into his cult ways and did what he wanted, but what freaks me out more is that no one could leave, that they were basically prisoners, and when a congressman came to try to help them, the congressmen and those leaving were slaughtered and then Jones forced everyone to kill themselves, injecting those that wouldn't take the Kool-Aide willingly. Just so creepy.

Am very excited for all the new television this week aside from Heroes:

New 24! Dude, it's seriously...I love Supernatural more than anything, but 24 is probably the best show on television. Even though sometimes it gets my adrenaline going to the point that I can't sleep. It's just...awesome.

AND...new Digging for the Truth, which most people don't care about, but my sister and I are History channel nerds and I love it. Josh, the host, is sometimes borderline retarded, but he's hot and the show is interesting most of the time.

Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars are back as well, which almost makes up for the fact that Ugly Betty is a repeat after that ending.

**

Alrighty, I'm off to catch up on friends list before I fall asleep again.

Ciao darlings!

so uh...my SPN Halloween fic and my lyric fic for ladybug218's challenge are going to be late. Normally, despite my procrastination, I can pull these things out, but alas, sinuses are a bitch and I've spent all day sleeping in order to avoid the pain in my head.

Not much else to report as I seriously have spent all day in bed since calling out of work this morning. I woke up briefly at two pm and watched One Life to Live while the mother forced me to eat soup and then I went back to bed until a few minutes ago.

Of course now I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Tomorrow starts Nanowrimo and I'm ready to undertake my story, but I'm going to finish up the challenge pieces first - so Nano for me might not start until Saturday.

Hope everyone is having a happy and safe Halloween!

Ciao darlings!
