1. So today I filled out my first insurance claim form today! Filled in all the blanks and printed it out and mailed it in and everything! And then, and then, I made dinner. It was stir-fry. I cut up the vegetables and the chicken even though I'd never handled meat before, and then I cooked rice and fried the vegetables and meat and it was delicious! I AM SUCH AN ADULT UP IN HERE. :D 

Tomorrow? I'm gonna wake up early, and I'm gonna go get my work clothes tailored, and then I'm gonna send out more job applications, and then I'm gonna run some errands, and it's all gonna be AWESOME.

Actual Real Conversation while preparing dinner:

Muppet: Have you ever looked at raw meat and thought that that's what we look like inside?
Mom: ...you're so gross, honey.

2. In less mature news: I drew a thing for the first time in a while! It started out as another sketch of girl!human!Bulkhead but I can't seem to draw people who are bigger than a size 16 so I don't really know how that's going to work. But I like her face so she's going up here. Maybe I'll finally re-download GIMP and color her. 

( I don't know what she's looking at. )


3. And a random bit of cuteness: Paige O'Hara and Robby Benson, the voice actors of Belle and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, head down to Disney World for the commemorative re-release of the BatB DVD/Blu-Ray. Or something like that, I don't really know because I still have it on VHS and that's all I need until they stop making VHS players, but it did allow me to see this picture:

( Back here. )

Is it bad if I still think Robby Benson's cute?

4. I haven't followed CSI faithfully for a while, but next week's episode looks to be the best thing on TV ever. At least, if the trailers are right and someone really is killing people with a mechanical dinosaur.

5. ( Dream log nonsense; seriously, like watchdog groups are even watching Rizzoli & Isles. )

At some point I'd like to make a post of all the fanart I've bookmarked so I can share it around. Maybe a fic rec post too. It'll be my splash of childishness once I'm done being an adult for the day.

I should go to bed so I can get up early and be an Adult tomorrow. Good night, flist.

Almost done with project. Almost done with project. Oh my god it's five in the morning.

Stolen from futuresoon :

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteenish words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

1. Abby Sciuto (NCIS)
2. Polly Wright (Doctor Who)
3. Temperance Brennan (Bones)
4. Ryan Wolfe (CSI: Miami)
5. Tim McGee (NCIS)
6. Liz Shaw (Doctor Who)
7. Will Turner (Pirates of the Caribbean)
8. Captain Christopher Pike (NuTrek)
9. Wendy Watson (Middleman)
10. Nick Stokes (CSI)

( Hey, look, stories. )


Once more unto the breachbug box, friends, once more. *sigh*

And for some reason I felt obligated to finish it tonight, so now I'm up way too late again and I'm already all thrown off for this week and have missed stuff, this is just bad karma. I was doing so well. D: After this I'm done. I promise. I'll get back on track.

Ahem. The answers to the shipping meme, all 7 pages in Word of them. I talk a lot.

( I do wish Word could copy and paste into Rich Text posting so I wouldn't have to format this by hand. Bloody Vista. )


Ugh. SLEEPS. Needs it now. *collapses* Memes are so stressful sometimes.

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, silly_cleo!!! I hope the coming year is wonderful.

----

You remember that writing meme I did a while earlier, with the fics written in the time it takes for one song to play? As a way of warming up for more serious/extensive writing, I did a few rounds of those on vacation. There are fourteen in total; I figured I'd post them up here.

The rules, in case you needed a reminder:

First, a pimp: the_randomiser, a new community dedicated to writing challenges based on the Doctor Who Random Pairing Generator. Go take a few hits off the crackpipe, luv. :D

Also, wasn't there a random pairing generator for the CSI-verse? Or am I misremembering? If there was, would anyone care to tell me where it happens to be?

 
Farewell for now; back to the working world.

I'm headed out this evening for Memorial Day weekend, and probably won't be back till Monday afternoon. Unless I do a whole lot of begging to the parental units, I won't have my laptop with me, and even if I do the odds that I'll have an internet connection are slim, so I probably won't be around this weekend. *waves*

[ETA] Whoops, nevermind, we're not leaving till tomorrow morning, so...yeah. Also, my brother appears to have given me his cold. THANKS, LITTLE BROTHER. I really appreciate it.

It's just that I've been in a writing mood and there's little to report in my real life at the moment.

New layout, yo. I was getting sick of perenially having to color my text white, and the white-on-black thing was causing me much eyestrain. Plus, now it's way easier to disguise spoilery text.

Speaking of spoilery text...


Anyway, here, have a big empty white space to seperate the spoiler cut from the fic-related blather to follow. 




In other news, who_otpis having another round of Rare-Ship Drabble Tag, and I highly encourage you to go check it out even if you don't want to write anything for it. Go! Read! After all, we've got Liz/Martha and Ancelyn/Bambera and Ten/Donna and Ten/Charlie Eppes (requested by me and written brilliantly in response) and Ben/Polly and Leela/Romana! You know you're tempted!

I bid you all good night.

I have my homework done on time, I have everything packed, it's looking like I might finally get some sleep...and then I stay up late writing.

I also blame my writing for how badly I did on that take-home Bio quiz. How was I supposed to answer questions in my distracted state?

So I might as well post what it was that kept me up this late, right? Right.

The 250-word Writing Meme, shamelessly thieved from eponymous_rose.

The rules!

 I just realized that most of my posts lately have been flocked. So, something for the "public"!

That means macros, of course. 

Contained herein: 7 CSI: Miami macros, 5 CSI macros (most from Season 6 or 7), 3 Doctor Who macros (taken from my own fuzzy caps of Spearhead from Space which I swear I've been watching for reasons other than Unexpected Naked Doctor I promise may go up on ihasatardisonce there are more of them, and which probably aren't actually funny unless you've seen the episodes in question.)

 

Urgh...so much work to do...must get out of room...must take break...

Must dump these reviews here first. Then I'll go take a walk.

Right. 

 

 
A final note...

The problem with writing huge chunks of meta is that it makes me want to write the fic I was meta-ing about right now omg. And this is a problem because, aside from my obvious workload, the "Julia" chapter of "Little Brothers" doesn't happen till Chapter 21 (ish) and I still have no means of canon-checking "Thrall".

I still do not understand the appeal of NaNoWriMo.
