Finally, I snagged this WIP meme from
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
hearts_blood. Post the first sentence (or several) from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, you'll get talking about writing, and the motivation to take that WIP one step closer to completion will appear as if by magic!( WIP Meme )
My sister found this today google image searching for something else. She left it open for me on my computer so it would be the first thing I saw when I came home from work. Fifteen minutes later, I'm still laughing at it.
My face hurts.
Happy New Year!
Jan. 1st, 2012 07:39 pmI started my new year off by waking up on a futon to an angry cat clawing at the door demanding to be fed, feeding said cat who continued to dislike me, and then I made my own breakfast: chocolate cake in a bowl with milk. I had a very nice, casual New Year's Eve at a friend's wherein we watched HGTV and Arrested Development, ate pizza and chocolate cake, drank some wine (I had two whole glasses! Bringing my 2011 yearly total of wine consumption to approximately 4.5 glasses!), and generally just hung out. At one point we heard distant fireworks and then like half an hour later were like, oh, happy new year.
Today we took down all the Christmas stuff and grilled out, because this weekend was gorgeous. Yesterday we went for a walk! In short sleeves! ♥

Just do it.
Dec. 29th, 2011 07:25 amI need everyone to keep their fingers crossed today! Actually, I don't want that to read as some ambiguous "think good thoughts" thing, so at some point during the day, for me, just, like, literally and actually cross your fingers. Anytime. At lunch, after you've brushed your teeth, as you're letting the dog out, whatever, just...cross your fingers.
I'm not saying why! Just do it!
Also,sonneta, you still have a prompt/request to give me, should you choose, from your amazing comments on my screenwriting thingy. Drop something here!

Oct. 6th, 2011 08:52 pmHerein are twenty 100-110 word drabbles for fandomverse! Cut tags on sections that short don't really work, and I don't really feel like frakking with twenty cut tags anyway, so the following fandoms are represented:
Farscape, The Lord of the Rings, Fringe, Babylon 5, Inglourious Basterds, A Song of Ice and Fire, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Rome, Miranda, Jane Eyre, The Walking Dead, Community, Parks and Recreation, Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica.

Ugh, I am seriously embarrassed by that horrible emo post from yesterday. Can we all just pretend it never happened? Awesome.
Today is a perfectionary day wrt weather. Lower 60s, overcast, drizzly. It's already October in my heart, you guys! To that end, I'm starting to think of my Halloween plans. Isn't Halloween the best? I need to secure permission to wear a witch's hat or something similar at work that day, since I'll be working. (Sadfaces forever.) I don't know if my little sister is going to be trick-or-treating this year; I've quite enjoyed driving her and her friends around the last few years. I just ferry them from one place to the next, chill in my car with a scary book, and collect candy tolls. Unbeatable.
I'm thinking of setting up a Halloween/Autumn music sharing post in a week or so. There's always a ton of them around for Christmas music, but I've never seen one for Halloween, and I have a surprisingly large amount of Halloween music. As one does.
One of the things I did go ahead and buy this weekend, because it's depressing to be on vacation and have zero souvenirs whatsoever, is a cast iron skillet. I've always wanted one, and after thinking about it, I decided to go for it. The first thing I am going to make is pineapple upside down cake, probably tomorrow since I work till 9 tonight - it should be prodigious.
I've been trying to get some landcomm challenges out of the way. I made this Luther wallpaper yesterday for a gift-giving challenge, and I am very proud of it. (Why am I only able to make good graphics for gifts and non-voting challenges? Seriously.) I'm...not sure if I'm going to be able to get to thescifiland Big Bang, though. I should have been working it all along, but somehow, out of nowhere, I didn't. And it's due the same day as the het_bigbang, and I'll be cutting it close just to get that done. (Where has all the tiiiiiime gone?!) Anyway, you'd think then that I'd be working really hard on those, but no, I spent like two hours doing online jigsaw puzzles yesterday. Productive uses of free time FTW!
