The puppy has cracked a claw. Pretty nastily. And it looks extremely painful. And now I am all flaily worried mommy and do not know what to doooo... Yes, I am ridiculous, but it is my puppy.

Also, Jae, Chris and I have devised a Rift plot based on the song Creepy Doll. We won't be doing it until Chris and I (and the rest of those involved) finish the Oklahoma backthreading, but OMG IT IS AWESOME. The downside is that I have had the song stuck in my head. All. Night. Long.

Current Mood: awake
Current Music: Creepy Doll (IN MY HEAD OH MY GOD)

I have been plotting for

tardis_bigbang. It's kind of exhausting. Okay, really exhausting. But I have made some progress! (And found an excuse to include one of my favorite minor characters!) Still haven't figured out how to work my way from the middle bits to the very ending bit, but... I'm poking at that.

Papel is kind of an awesome program for plotting. It's like index cards, but without the stress and hassle and dropping them on the floor. I would be so much more aggravated with life, the universe and everything if I didn't have this to help with the plotting.

More and more, I'm concerned with the length of this. I don't mind if it gets epic, just... not so epic that I can't write it before the deadline. GAH.

Also, I've got to stop listening to Jonathan Coulton. If only because the Doctor keeps grabbing songs for his playlists, and it's getting a little ridiculous.

EDIT: I am not allowed to include a subplot based on this song. I'm just NOT.

I need to write stuffs. I swear I'm going to finish this post-Journey's End fic soon... and then probably start the OTHER one. I probably should've done it the other way around, because the other one is full of angst and this one is more to make my soul hurt less... Oh well. At least for a fic full of break, the second one is kind of hilarious... Yes, I know I'm being cryptic. Hush.

The archangel party is finally happening at the Rift. You have no idea how happy this makes me. I have a weird thing for archangels. Yes, even the crazy misfits that make up most of our gang right now. That thread's going to be distracting me all night and I don't care.

Two quick questions before I wander off to write and tag and whatever else I'm doing.

First: hypothetically speaking, if two Time Lords were to go on holiday somewhere not Chicago (and also not Paris) in the Rift universe, what trouble could they run into while there? Hopefully trouble of the "fun, running for your life, solved within a day or two" kind. Yes. The Doctor needs a holiday, I give him monsters. Hey, it's a nice break from the crazy angelic/demonic politics and the creepy not!Torchwood going down in Chicago now. And the scary thing that is domesticity, and his fellow Time Lords and... Chicago in general. I promised I'd give him a happy thing before things got worse.

And second: I have need of musics. Namely, Indigo Girls and Jeffrey Foucault. And Neko Case. Anyone have anything by those people you want to throw at me? Please?

EDIT: One more thing! HOLY SHIT! Two days from now! New Burn Notice!

If you're not planning on watching it, you should be. There are spies and snarky narration and explosions and a strange obsession with yogurt and it's the kind of show you can pick up in the middle and not be completely lost about what's going on... Join me in my fannish spazzing Thursday nights! Really, it's fun!

Today was not my best day ever. I had a minor breakdown, but Evie took me out to dinner after getting home, as she just got paid, so that fixed a great many things. Plus, tomorrow, Chris and Magi and I get to blow up a coffee shop (well, unleash a hellhound and a velociraptor on it, then set it on fire, then blow it up - we are going to Tarantino that shit), and that makes me feel a great deal better too.

I have one scene written of my

writerinadrawer fic. I am going to bed now and waking up early to finish it. Fun. In the way of sleep deprivation and deadlines. Yes indeed. Expect a post begging you to vote in this one, because I'll be nervous. (Honest to God, I think the story is going to come off as if I'm one of those people who don't like Gwen. I DO, HONESTLY. This is just the best AU idea that came to me.)

Also, going to California for my sister's graduation Sunday. I'll be back the 18th. I'll be bringing my computer with me, and I will have internet, I just don't know how often - it depends on whether I can leech a wireless connection off someone nearby my dad's home. ^^ My plan is to go there with a mostly-empty backpack and a suitcase containing a few changes of clothes, and then come back with a lot of books and DVDs and MY STUFF that I had to leave at home. As well as packing several boxes also containing my stuff with a request for my father to ship it to me. Yes.

Anyway, just thought I should let you all know that in advance so we don't get to Sunday and suddenly you're all panicking and wondering where I've gone. Yes, I know you'd miss me that much. Don't deny it.

Right. Sleep now. So I can be the appropriate amount of sleep deprived, overcaffeinated and deadline-rushed tomorrow.

(Randomly, before I go? This song BREAKS MY HEART when Dar Williams is singing it. I don't even know why, but it hurts.)

It is possible I shouldn't be rewatching season two of Torchwood when I'm getting bleedover from everyone ever. While I was rewatching KKBB? I got bleedover from Hart, and God, that was unpleasant. Let's never do that again. Owen in particular is a lot breakier in every episode ever when you keep Fragments in mind. Fragments makes everything full of break.

I woke up today wanting to change my layout. So I will do that as soon as I decide to make a banner. Or can talk someone else into doing it for me. Yay, new layout.

And does anyone have any Ingrid Michaelson music they can share with me? I was talking to Sey and realized I don't have nearly enough. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Also, the thread with apprehending Hart? Is going to be hugely complicated to play out. And I am suddenly very glad I play half of Torchwood. This will make things so much easier. Also, if the week of breaking everyone ever could end soon, I would like that.

Current Mood: weird
Current Music: Torchwood (2x03 To the Last Man)

So... I decided to finish this for

_chibidragon_'s birthday. Again, what is it with me giving people ANGST to make them happy? No drabbles this time, but there are some icons.

( 'Cause I'm the blue-eyed son of a hurricane... )

Current Music: Secretariat - Jeffrey Foucault

Martha
Ow. Ow ow OW. This is so going on the Ten/Martha mix that threatens to break me more with every song I put on it.

Your Tongue Like the Sun in My Mouth
Sam/Annie! And Sam/Gene! Just... yes. Nnngh. It's scary how many Sam songs I can find that sound like they were WRITTEN FOR SAM.

...Yeah, I just felt like sharing. Because I want to write and can't quite get my brain in gear for it. *Sulkity* At least there can be Doctor Who when Evie gets home. That makes me happy. Martha makes me happy.

Current Mood: frustrated
Current Music: Martha - Jefferson Airplane

Since two or three people have tagged me for this, I figured I might as well do it. Shut up, a lot of them are Rift-related. I don't care.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. ~~Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.~~

We Are - Ana
We've never been so many and we've never been so alone...
Evie and I pinpointed why we love this song so much. It is because it is a perfect Torchwood-in-the-Rift song. Specifically, Gwen and Sam. Just... YES. It IS.

You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights/But you yourself are nothing so divine...
It's a Des song. And a Ten song. And that combination makes me so. Very. Happy. *Purrs* I know a lot of you have probably already gotten this from me or

kawaiispinel, but I don't care.

Southern California Wants to Be Western New York - Dar Williams
Southern California says to save a place, I'll meet you there/And it tried to pack up its Miata, all it could fit was a prayer
Again, if you want this, you probably already have it considering I uploaded it... not long ago at all, but... PRETTY. It's become the theme song for On a Saturday, which pleases me a lot. Seriously, this song totally changed both the setting and whole general tone of that verse, and I think it's better for it. How cool is that? And I was hard put not to quote half this song.

Sunday Morning, Yellow Sky - October Project
At the broken heart of the city/Where the hollow light of day never reaches in/A man can break down and fall into pieces

trollopfop sent me this song not long ago because it is a Sam song. And just... yes. It is. All over the place. And it is pretty and it makes me want to hug Sam every time. ...And listening to it now reminds me I desperately want to find someone for that one storyline for Rift!Sam, but that's neither here nor there.

Superhero - Ani DiFranco
'Cause I used to be a superhero/No one could touch me, not even myself/And you were like a phonebooth that I somehow stumbled into/And now look at me, I am just like everybody else
Jack song. A rather breaky Jack song. Like, my "Things Left Behind on Purpose" Jack.

Who I Am Hates Who I've Been - Relient K
I'm sorry for the person I became/I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change/I'm ready to try never to go that way again/'Cause who I am hates who I've been
It's on my Rift playlist. GUESS WHICH CHARACTER IT'S FOR. Seriously, Doctor. Let the TARDIS/Jack/the OT3 fix you and STAY FIXED, or stop with the bleedover. Please.

Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon/After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
Yeah, so I'm making this vid. With the Master. And Martha. And it is FULL OF SKETCH. But oh, it makes me happy, and every time this song comes on lately I just start grinning because... it's sketchy, but it's fun sketch. And I need to finish that vid. And story. So I can share the fun sketch with the rest of you. As a note, I think I have actually memorized the sequence of clips in the vid through fighting with it so much. Lovely.

Current Mood: cheerful
Current Music: Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down

There is no reason for this post, really. Except that there's one song I wanted to share with

harbek, who's just gotten into Firefly, and then there were some other things.

Krissy, I don't know if anyone's exposed you to this yet, but if they haven't... something is deeply wrong in the universe, and this needs to be fixed. So here you go: Mal's Song.

And two other songs that have nothing to do with Firefly:

Southern California Wants to be Western New York - This song makes me cry. Almost every time. And I don't even know why. Plus, it's just beautiful. And out of nowhere, it took my On a Saturday verse in a totally different direction than I initially expected and I AM OKAY WITH THAT. Strangely.

Mystery Girl - I downloaded a Gwen mix when I picked her up at

beyondtherift, because I realized I didn't have one and I am... obsessive about fanmixes, and this is my favorite song off that mix. I don't know, it just makes me happy.

Anyone have any music they want to share? Anything you're particularly enjoying right now? Absolutely anything.

Although I would like to request that if anyone has "Affirmation" by Savage Garden or "Coin-Operated Boy" by The Dresden Dolls, maybe you could upload and share it? ♥

EDIT: And half an hour later, Krissy and I are contemplating intricate plans to make Josh Groban sing "Mal's Song". And Adam Pascal too, just for the hell of it. Even if he'll fuck up the lyrics. I DON'T KNOW.

And there's a creepy doll that always follows you; it's got a ruined eye that's always open...

I've been patient, I've been gracious, and this mountain is covered with wolves...

You kissed me like a soldier headed for war...

He's told us not to blow it...

"So I'll be saving the world in some pyjamas. How daft is that?"

Let's be honest, love is a catalogue of deadly sins...

She keeps her heart in a broken clock and it's waiting there for me...

I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman mind...

Post with music in!
