Here I Am

So last night I watched the finale of Step It Up and Dance with my sister. All four of the remaining dancers did a really great job with their solos. Of course, I had my two favorites from day one - Cody and Nick.

( Spoilers for who won... )

**

I actually did a full updated to polyfandomrecs last night. And yes, you will notice there is David Cook RPS if you go over there. I'm completely broken and it's all his fault. Him and Michael Johns have to be so darn adorkable together and my mind goes to the wrong!bad places...and then there is fic to aid me in staying in that dark place.

I've actually made a slight dent in my "to read" bookmarks of fic. Of course, it's an ongoing cycle, so I'm always back to where I started, which is far behind on all the fic out there.

**

Why is it so hot, my friends? And why can't I concentrate on my writing? And how can I win a million dollars?

These are all very important questions.

Howdy my darlings! I'm sorry I haven't been around much (especially after friending all the new wonderful folks), but life is just insane. They had finally gotten me a decent, competent temp who lasted three whole weeks. I was getting comfortable...and then they replace her. She could be moody and she was apparently moody with the wrong people. So gone. The new temp is very nice and seems quite capable (though she's not very strong in Microsoft Word/Excel/Outlook)...I hope she lasts. It takes so much of my time to train the new people that none of my stuff gets done and I end up having to work late to make sure I don't mess up my own projects. So much fun. On the brightside, I am *finallY* caught up from my three weeks of doom from being out with pneumonia.

But anyway, I'm going to try to be around more. And talk about life. And fandoms. And hot boys making out. Or just Sam and Dean Winchester.

And Mystery Spot was on last night and it still gets me. The first half is hysterical and the second half is just "Oh Sammy" making.

**

It's finally Friday. This has been one of the longest weeks that I can remember. It just didn't want to end. And then someone at the office said yesterday "it felt like Tuesday" but I thought they said it was Tuesday. I began to think work finally did me in and I was completely bonkers and that my week was so much more.

Luckily, that was not the case.

Even better, I've been having wonderful dreams the last few nights. Last night, I was hanging out with Chuck (from Chuck) and Dean Winchester - we were waiting for public transit to take us into Philly. Then the night before that I was making out with Starbuck on BSG. Which, I'm not really into girls, but Kara Thrace is hot. So okay.

**

This weekend I'm hoping to do a lot of writing. I've been trying different things to get over my writing hurdle.

I've been meditating and playing classical music and taking walks. Alas, during the week, I had no time to write and see if it was working.

So fingers crossed. And feel free to share some of your favorite writing routines and secrets for writer's block!

**

To those who watch American Idol - how amazing was David Cook this week? Just gah. I still love Jason Castro like whoa, but David Cook is just so good.

Also, I have all their studio versions and a few of their pre-idol albums. If anyone wants any of it, comment and I'll upload.

Thank you for all the well wishes and such. You guys are awesome and I love you all. I'm actually feeling a lot better. Still terrible overall, but my fever and blood pressure are both down! Good times! But really, if someone wants to send Sam and Dean to take care of me, I'll be okay with it.

**

I'm so behind on One Life to Live. What the hell is going on? And when did Michael get replaced? I'm not sure how I feel about this. Just tell me - are Jessica and Nash okay? Hee.

I am current on All My Children. I love and adore RB as Greenlee and she has such chemistry with pretty much everyone she interacts with. That said, I love her and Aidan and I want them to last (at least for awhile). I'm also intrigued to see where things go with Ryan's storyline because I've always hated Annie. Christ, she's annoying. And her blaming Kendall? What the hell? He forgot you because you're annoying.

And then there is Jesse and Angie, who rock. I remember them, along with Jenny and Greg, when I was little and used to watch with my mom. And now they're back.

**

Now let's talk American Idol performances.

( Spoilers for last night's boys and TONIGHT's girls... )

**

I'm hoping I feel well enough tomorrow to write my pic for 1000 words. And then Friday, I should be okay to go to work. I really need to get back to the office and deal with my in-bin and reports and so very much.

Huge list of things I should be doing, mostly work related, but I'm not in the mood anymore. I feel broken.

Stupid allergies.

::shakes fist at horny plants::

Last night was violently ill and can't decide if it was brought on by Barry Gibbs' night on American Idol. Seriously, my friends, if you pick someone like that how can you expect *any* of them to do amazingly well with the song options?

But Blake continues to be adorable. I don't care if he wasn't great. I love him a whole lot. And my sister and I voted for him a whole lot too. (Yes, I'm what's wrong with American Idol - I vote based on CUTE).

**

iamentheos did that "stories you think I won't write" meme a few days ago and she totally emailed me a scene where our character, Emmy meets Jensen Ackles. Hee. As she pointed out, we really did turn Emmy into a boy-crazed lunatic...but really, we love it. Hee.

Now I'm thinking of writing more of it. Could it be that transienttimes will get revisited, but with a new boy in the mix?

**

Much writing to do. My Kink/Cliche piece is underway. I'm writing Sam/Dean cave fic for the win! Woo-hoo! Now I just have to finish that and the many other pieces I'm currently working on.

You know what would help? Allergies to stop being so bad so I could keep my eyes open.

::sits and waits for Dean Winchester to rescue her::

Happy Friday everyone! I'm feeling much better, managed to get my butt to the gym early this morning! And it's almost the weekend again!

( But let's talk about American Idol results... )

I got caught up on Black Donnellys for the week.

( Kevin is trying to vy for top Donnelly brother in my heart... )

**

While I was sick I watched episodes 2.1 through 2.6 of Supernatural. NOthing like Sam and Dean to make me feel better. I really love this show. I really love Sam and Dean and their relationship. That's all I need to put a smile on my face. Sam and Dean and how much they love each other.

**

I have changed my layout thanks to iamentheos. She made me an amazing layout/default icon AND sent me the instructions so that I could change it without crying. She's so awesome. And she's already started writing SPN fic. YAY!

So yes, new layout. Feel free to check it out.

And on that note, I shall try to catch up on my friends' list and begin going through the huge backlog of fic I have to read.

Ciao!

Ended up getting home rather late from dinner so I only had time for like a page of the friends list before I had to watch American Idol results...

( SPOILERS! IT WILL SAY WHO WAS BOOTED... )

Will try to read some of friends list now...and then sleep.

Happy Supernatural Day! Yay for the boys of Winchester - Dean, Sammy, and Papa working together. It just fills my heart with glee.

Seriously, Supernatural is my new favorite thing about Thursdays. Yes, there is still Smallville and the Welling prettiness, but Supernatural long ago surpassed my love of every other show.

And that's taking into account the rockingness of this week's Veronica Mars. But poor Veronica - while it has a Logan, it does not have a Dean & Sam.

**

So last night's American Idol...

( Spoilers on who went home... )

Also, since my sister and I finished Christmas Invasion episode of Dr. Who on Tuesday night, last night we watched the first episode of the new season.

Don't have much to say on it currently, but dude, as much as I came to love Nine, I think that will be far surpassed by my love of Ten. And not just because it's David Tennant and he's hot. But he's just...I can't explain it. I mean, I love Nine immensely...so damn adorable and wonderful. But Ten in just Christmas Invastion and 2.1 has completely won me over.

I didn't have a chance to watch Alias yet, but I'm greatly looking forward to it. It seems that JJ and company are trying very hard to make up for some downward spiral times and giving the fans a kick-ass ending. Here's to hoping.

More interview questions, this time from dragonsinger:

1) Read anything good lately? yeppers. I read Peeps by Scott Westerfeld, a young adult book about vampires done a bit differently. And, of course, Charmed Thirds by Megan McCafferty came out two weeks ago so I read that book in three days! I love my Jessica Darling books.

2) Dean comes to you for help on an investigation, what would be your expertise? The Jersey Devil. South Jersey has been my home all my life and I know that story very well. Though my favorite sighting story of the Jersey Devil was someone who saw him driving down Rt. 206 in a Ford Bronco. Hee.

3) You've been turned into a Charmed One. What's your power? Can I have Piper’s powers? She rocks.

4) If you had to choose a favorite book, what would it be? That’s actually easy. My favorite book of all time is The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I read it for the first time when I was eleven and I’ve read it at least once a year since. I just love it so much.

5) Does this jacket make me look fat? You? Fat? Never darling!

**

Okay, off to do some work and hopefully some writing at some point.

Ciao.

Damn allergies! Damn them to Hades! I think the worst thing about my allergies is that they just cause immense amounts of pain to the sinuses around my eyes...so it's almost painful to keep my eyes open. Not very good when one is attempting to do work. Or stay awake. I'm probably going to end up leaving the office early today - otherwise it's sit at my desk and fall asleep. Somehow I don't think that's the best option.

**

I'll be working on more of the drabbles today. If you want one and didn't request one yet - feel free to give me a fandom, pairing, and a prompt...

Fandoms I'm willing to do: WBRPS, Roswell, Charmed, Supernatural, Alias, Stargate Atlantis, West Wing, Sports Night...most things in my user info as well.

**

So it seems the whole friending/defriending thing is causing uproars in various fandoms again. Frankly, that just seems like a whole lot of effort to get upset about something so innane.

So once again, to reiterate: Friend, defriend, comment, don't comment. It's all good. It's fandom and it's supposed to be fun and shouldn't feel like work or something you have to do. I won't take things personally. I friend people that I find interesting and/or share common loves - it's not a requirement that they friend me back. Also, my friends list is starting to get large so if I don't friend people back right away, it's nothing personal. Nothing over here is friends locked so if you want to keep reading, you won't miss anything.

My main belief system when it comes to online is whatever tickles your pickle so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

**

Alias is back tonight. I'm mixed on my feelings. I mean, I've stuck the show out through some really horrible times, mostly because I love the main characters. So I'll watch until the end. I just hope it goes out the way it came in - kicking ass with great stories & characters - and wraps up the Rambaldi stuff.

It should be interesting to see who goes home on American Idol tonight. I'm really worried about Elliot, but the past few weeks, every time i try to vote for him, I have trouble getting through due to busy signals. So shouldn't that mean he's getting a lot of votes? And last night was no different. I tried from 9pm-10:30pm to vote for Elliot and only got through about four times in total.

Frankly, I think Kellie or Ace should go home this week, but I'm truly worried that it might be Elliot. I'm not ready to say goodbye to my little monkey. I love him so.

**

Okay, off to do some other things and to attempt not to fall asleep at my desk.

Ciao.

It's Thursday! It's Thursday! Not only is the work week nearly over, but that means there will be new Supernatural this evening! Woo-hoo. I love my boys. I look forward to watching this show. Sure, some people (a certain boy and friends) think it's weird that I won't make plans on Thursday nights when there is new SPN, but I don't care. Jensen and Jared make me happy. (Of course, if one of the Supernatural writers ever stumbles upon this part of the Internet, the show would be even better if the boys were always shirtless.)

Overall, I'm way behind on my television viewing. I'm three weeks behind on 24 and four weeks behind on Lost. I'm hoping to get caught up on those at some point in the near future, but life is craziness sometimes.

( But I did watch the American Idol results on my TIVO...if you click this, you will know who was booted... )

**

Okay, off to write ladybug218's very late birthday fic. But she's used to it by now. I always run a few months late on things. Hee. Also have another part of Winchester Meets Halliwell in the hands of my betas. I've actually been productive.

Ciao! Happy Supernatural Day!

I'm not sure why, as I didn't do anything differently last night, but I'm wide awake this morning. Wide awake and chipper for god's sake. Bizarre. But I'll take it and pray it makes the work day go fast.

Because tonight...

NEW SUPERNATURAL! NEW SMALLVILLE! NEW DEAN & SAM! NEW CLARK INSANITY!

Dude. If I am an incoherent mess tomorrow, it's because my brain exploded due to all the hot on my television in one night. Gah.

**

( American Idol Results... )

Had very bizarre dreams last night involving Chronicles of Narnia. It was just freaking weird. I don't really remember details of the dream, but I do recall just that "huh" feeling when I woke up.

Dear Subconscious.

Bring back the Sam and Dean dreams.

Love,

Tommygirl

For the Charmed friends on my list: I did some Charmed recs over at polyfandomrecs and most of you are probably on it...since it's hard to find good Charmed fic and I tend to friend those that write it.

On that note, I shall bid you farewell for the time being so I can catch up on friends list and such.

Ciao.
