I just had to share this, because I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING.

[19:08] B: QUICK, CHAT
[19:08] B: I NEED SOMETHING STRONG THAT ALSO HAS GIVE AND SOFTNESS.
[19:09] Chris: UH.... I DON'T... WHAT?
[19:09] Chris: A MATTRESS?
[19:09] B: XD
[19:09] B: Sorry, like... something you'd compare someone to.
[19:09] Chris: Um.... A bear?

DAMMIT. I am failing badly at writing and it's driving me crazy. A little over 1000 words. That's not difficult. But I keep getting distracted by people or the dog or my music and I just... I kind of hate the universe right now.

And I'm randomly stressed that I don't have my iPod now and am apparently not getting it back. Never mind that I don't need my iPod at this very moment, it's the principle of the thing.

And I haven't had proper coffee in way too long now and that's driving me crazy too.

I just want to finish this fic and have music with me when I have to leave the house and have coffee and have furniture in my house. I don't think that's too much to ask. *Grumblegrump*

...Yes, I know I'm kind of being ridiculously bitchy, but I don't care. I just felt the need to lodge a complaint with the universe in hopes it might decide to actually listen for once.

EDIT: OKAY, CHRIS WINS AND HAS MADE THE UNIVERSE HER BITCH FOR THE TIME BEING. My day just got better surprisingly quickly.

Dear LJ,

Today I drove in the rain and drove us into a ditch. No, really. ...I'm not doing that again.

I has a Chris nao. I am pleased by this. We had to do the most unsafe driving ever to get her to our motel room, but it's okay. We all survived. We're watching random James Bond movie on teevee because there's no place to plug in the DVD player. I never pay any attention to James Bond movies, but whatever.

The puppy keeps snuggling against pillows in every hotel room we're in. I'm not sure why, but it's adorable.

As soon as we're in one place for more than a night, I'm so rearranging the things in the car so that I can actually get to things. Like... y'know... suitcases. With clothes. Rawr. Let's hope I don't injure myself doing so.

And now I need to write things. Really. I'm going to finish that goddamn fic.

Having such a totally screwed up sleep schedule does have some benefits. Like many, many hours of being wide awake right after NaNo starts. I am pleased with this.

1) That prologue was not supposed to be so fucking long. I'm not even sure it counts as a prologue anymore. Damn it.

2) When you have to stop and ask yourself "Am I really killing someone with a giant undead raccoon monster in the prologue?", you are doing NaNo right. Or oh so wrong. I haven't quite decided.

3) Chris is still ahead of me. I've kind of resigned myself to this, and I'm okay with it because I love that universe and more writing in it is always a thing of joy. Still. Dammit, Chris. You make me feel inadequate.

4) DID I MENTION THE ZOMBIES?

5) I really need titles for these books. I've got a title for the damn trilogy, just not the books themselves, and that is annoying.

6) ...Yes, this song totally is on my playlist for this book. I make no apologies.

So I did sleep last night. Hurrah! Just... apparently not enough. 'Cause now I'm sleepy. And the idea of coffee is making me nauseous, which doesn't usually happen... ever. *Wrinkles nose* That's annoying.

Also, the earaches I've been getting lately? Need to STOP. Because... well, it fucking HURTS. And not just a little, either. And any of the general remedies for such things freak me out, because THINGS. IN MY EAR. DO NOT WANT. ...Yeah, I know, I'm occasionally pathetic.

[livejournal.com profile] draegonhawke has gotten me hooked on Space: Above and Beyond. Because dangling a girl who REEKS OF BADASS and a chosen family group in my face is a surefire way to get my love. The military stuff doesn't hurt either. I really don't think it's fair that se used that knowledge against me. But at least [livejournal.com profile] kawaiispinel and I can commiserate, and we've agreed to watch the finale together whenever we get to it. ANGST PARTY, YAY.

...Right. I'm gonna go take some painkillers, try to get some caffeine into myself, and try to write a little. In the meantime...

Seriously. If I'm doing something wrong/something that annoys you, tell me. Not that I mind praise, but I have this perpetual fear I'm disappointing people, so. Yes. (Although it seemed like I had more characters than that in the Rift. Huh.)

EDIT: Has anyone noticed the crazy moodswings I've been having the past few days? Especially people I've been in chat with? Anyone? Just... looking at my last three posts... yeah. The hell?

In other news, Hart and Thane make my soul want to cry.

So there's a love meme going around [livejournal.com profile] good_rpers_rock. Rift kids, you may have a little love over here. Just maybe.

So, I'm rereading Jingo. The last time I read it was... a while ago. Before I got into Life on Mars. And now, every time there's a scene with Vimes? I keep seeing and hearing Philip Glenister in my head. I'm not sure whether to be pleased and amused by this (because it is kind of awesome) or a little weirded out.

AND! I won this latest round of [livejournal.com profile] writerinadrawer. With a Jack/Gwen fic which, honestly, I kind of thought would be voted out because of the pairing. I am ridiculously happy about this (while also quietly growling at the Torchwood fandom in general for making me that worried over the damn pairing).

Watched the first several episodes of Alias today. Got a headvoice, as I knew I would. I blame Chris. But I'll forgive her if she starts watching Burn Notice. Because clearly, we should trade fandoms with badass spies/former spies/terrorists.

I would like to say that you guys are awesome with prompts. Really, really awesome. ♥ Thank you all.

One more quick thing: my google docs is not working. AT ALL. It will open, and load the page, but it won't let me click on any folders, documents, buttons... anything. Nothing happens. It doesn't even seem to recognize that those are links. Is anyone else having this problem? Or does anyone know how to fix it? It's driving me crazy. And there are things on there I kind of need to get to.

EDIT: ...Okay, never mind that last bit. The second I decide to complain about it, it decides to work again. *Facepalm*

My puppy is being aggressively cute. It's both endearing and really, really irritating. Also, she's getting pretty damn big now, so I have absolutely no idea how she manages to be as stealthy as she is. I'll be sitting on the couch, laptop in front of me, and then suddenly I look down and she's on the couch next to me, head on my thigh, and ASLEEP, so she's obviously been there for some time. And she makes these disgruntled grumbling noises if I try to move her. Really, Ace? Must you?

Peer pressure is real, and as a result, I am downloading Alias. I blame [livejournal.com profile] kawaiispinel, and have already established I will be coming after her if I develop a headvoice of any sort. I'll forgive her, though, because the idea of Juliet being in Torchwood 4 fills me with such squee. (I don't even watch Lost, guys. I just love these characters because of Chris.)

That squee, by the way, resulted in the following conversation... )

And here, have a meme: Gather all your RP journals, list the characters and any AU versions you RP. Open the post to the public so even lurkers can ask the muses questions. Respond with that RP account.

It's not all my characters - I'm mostly going to be doing my Rift characters (present, possible future, and random lurkers), and characters from my current writing project, because they're the ones talking to me now, with some random additions. Yes, I never can follow the rules of memes exactly as they are written. And if your characters feel like questioning mine? By all means, have at.

There are 39 characters under this cut. No, really. )
