My air conditioner in my room is SCREAMING. Please, don't let it be the motor going bad. I don't want to have to put in a maintenance request, wait a week, have to clear everything away from the wall where that window is, have maintenance guys tromping through my room whenever they please.

I hate that period of a few days where my legs are stubbly but the hair is still to short to wax again. It's finally gorgeous here and I have to wear jeans. Laaaaame.

I seem to have somehow strained my right elbow area. It's especially the triceps, but it hurts on the ulnar side of the joint, too, so I don't know. It hurts to extend my arm (flexing doesn't hurt at all, of course). This is making typing somewhat difficult.

I'm actually pretty excited about Heroes tonight. I'm totally unspoiled except for ( spoiler! ). Nathan has really grown on me this volume and I don't want him to die... but then again, he almost dies at the end of like every season, so whatever. It's the Heroes way to nearly kill Nathan Petrelli.

Anyway, back to writing. If I didn't have an exam in my 3 o'clock on Wednesday, I would skip the class today (haven't missed yet this quarter). *buckles down*

So.... much... flist... to... go... through. Oh my god. It just seems like half the people are STILL bitching about the "crazy tinhatters" being, you know, crazy, and the pro-girlfriend people being, like, "STFU HATERS" and I'm sorry, add in the Misha love and I am not seeing how this is ANY DIFFERENT from any other weekend, except there's more video than usual. And sure, it's pretty freakin' hilarious video, some of it, but I'm kind of meh, give me more Dollhouse and Heroes episodes like 1961 and stop talking about goddamn Jensen Ackles, please.

Like, I'm using my "Future!Peter is a badass" icon because that's how I feel about everything I'm seeing (and also because fuck you, I have loved Milo Ventimiglia since the first time Jess Mariano tried to steal Lorelai's beer, and future!Peter? Badass). No, seriously. I have unpopular opinions, I guess.

I'm about to just say fuck it and apologize that I'm just not up to the task of wading through it. I suck, I know. I don't even have a big flist (like, at all), and it's ONE WEEKEND, not to mention that, as far as I can tell, it's been pretty quiet since everyone's working on BigBang and finishing up j2_everafter.

( cut for WHINE )

Oh, and FUCK YOU, UMPIRING CREW. And fuck you, too, jerkoffs in the media who're trying to blame Trevor Crowe for the fan interference on the fucking ruled-as-a-HR-anyway-so-why-are-the-NY-people-still-whining-about-it thing. (Yes, this paragraph was so I could use my Trevor Crowe tag. I need a Crowe icon.)

ANYWAY. Here, ask me questions and flatter my ego. Nicked from dragynflies (whose fic tag I STILL have open in one tab and haven't gotten to yet, and it's been like a week and a half and I feel awful, I'm so behind on everything):

Ask me a question about one of my fanfictions. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about major upcoming plot points if you want to. Whatever you ask, I have to answer truthfully.

Dear self,

You can totally immerse yourself in HIMYM fic when you finish your Big Bang draft. You know, those five files you've had open for four days without touching? The draft that's due in 15 days? When you get that done, then you can go frolic in a shiny new fandom, okay?

(not that current fandoms aren't shiny lately-- who knew talking about food in Texas could be so sparklingly gay... oh. Right. Nevermind--and TWO Boneses this week, but no Supernatural and no Dollhouse, which: lame.)

Love,
Victoria

I really want to put together a soundtrack for this story (Deadsville = Big Bang), too, but my fanmix skills are... nonexistant. I even have some songs picked out, though I think it's probably just a shitty breakup mix:

( Cut for shitty breakup music )

No, seriously, all I'm missing is, like, "Pain" by Three Days Grace.

[Poll #1383231]Those were the top three choices from the last poll. Just clicky. I don't care who you are, even if you're a random drive-by. I just want to see which name the internet likes best.

New layout, which I edited a bit from the original. Top bars bug me, so I had to fuck around with it to make it a sidebar. I still need to tweak it a little bit, but I'm pleased with it so far.

Went a bit tag-happy on this entry, too. Ha!

So much homework! No writing time for me. Dear week, you can end any time now, thanks. :(

It's a good thing they extended the deadline for j2_everafter, seriously. No way will it be done by Friday. I can do the 30th, though. This weekend is going to be a big ol' writing fest for my happy ass.

My mom came down for Easter on Sunday, so I sent my old white Macbook home with her so it can be her computer now. I cleared everything off the hard drive, except I forgot to clear out my iTunes library. Nice, because now she has the fourth season of SPN through episode 17 (I never got 18 transferred over), not to mention Dollhouse through episode 7. Weird, though, because I just know I'm going to get a phone call that's like, "Um, Torrie, I was playing iTunes on shuffle and this song came on about the actors who play the brothers on Supernatural being in love..." and I'm going to go, "Yeah... but it's true so it's okay."

Tonight we tried to video chat on iChat, but failed because her neighbors were using their wireless for once, and the connection kept dropping. Laaame. I wanted to see my kitties in real time!

So my angst-fu is broken and all I can write is humor. I mean, this is awesome for my J2_everafter, but Big Bang? Not so much.

Andyway. Here, have more commentficathon:


{a vacation-fic meme}

I've written one: SEAWORLD! Jared makes them sit in the SPLASH ZONE at the dolphin show.

and prompted two: Visiting Gettysburg. One of them is a Civil War geek, and the other suffers.
New Orleans. Bourbon Street. Mardi Gras beads are involved.

Go forth and commentfic!
