A Call to Action. Or Not. A Call to Something Resembling Action

So I keep seeing all these rec's for all these stories on yuletide that I am dying to read. Also there are a ton of stories at jbbs that I want to read and love and cuddle. seperis has been posting snippets of "Pretty When You're Mine" again.

Of course this means I am busier now than I ever have been at work. Also - everytime I go to Yuletide with the honorable intent of reading something other than the three Invisible Man fics that are present there - I, um, re-read all three Invisible Man stories multiple times. And then in different combinations. And then backwards.

I'm obsessed. Also - very busy. Feel my pain. I want to read The Breakfast Club and Tombstone stories everyone is talking about... but obsessed.

And tonight - I vid again. I finish the freaking vid - as otherwise I will turn poor renenet into Dr. Phil as she seeks to repair the relationship between me and the vid. See, I feel that we have drifted apart - me and my vid - and now we just don't connect anymore. Renenet - ever adept at wearing many hats - was prepared to enroll us into counseling. I think this measure is extreme as the way to get us to connect is for me to just focus on the task at hand. But I don't wanna as it is hard and involves sadness.

So focus. Work here until they kick me out - then home to vid. If you see me lolling about in cyberspace at any point between now and me posting that I finished the damned thing - please yell at me.

Also - I will be 30 in 6 weeks. If you want to get me something I will always love and cherish and thrill me forever -- Cave-In fic is always nice, it always fits and I seriously cannot think of a fandom that does not look good in it. Just a thought.

Who Can Hear You In the Oven But the Lightswitch

This is why being busy but not challenged is *bad* for me. I have too much time to think.

They Might Be Giants - "Birdhouse In Your Soul" is all about Angel (of course) and it is Spike POV.

I need a new career. Otherwise this kinda shit is gonna keep happening.

(no subject)

God this job is mind-numbingly dull after an ice storm.

Latest revelation - this one is "The Invisible Man": I figured out one of the reasons Darien is so hot in "Money for Nothing" - besides the obvious. His clothes definitely helped. This is not usually the case for poor Darien as his clothes normally do not contribute to his hotness. Yes - they are adorable in their own way, the threadbare tshirts and used poly shirts and bowling jackets, but not hot.

But - and I need to go home and consult the ep - he never went home after leaving the official's office and I think it is a safe bet that he did not have a change of clothes on him. Well maybe the turtleneck. But those pants - those pants were brand new. He went and bought those pants, and not from his usual flea markets and thrift stores and the Salvation Army. He went to Banana Republic and found a pair of britches and they fit and damn. Those are some brand-spanking (hee) new pants.

Also, we never see those pants or any where the inseam actually reaches past his ankles again. Poor boy does penance by never wearing pants that fit again.

Muddling Through

There is a reason all the good road trip stories are set in the summertime. This is because winter travel sucks.

As does my life right now. Over 30 claims since Monday.

::dies::

At least none of the people I have spoken with are *surprised* that there was an accident.

This leads me to believe - if I was to follow the ole adage of "write what you know" - then I would write stories where my leads are caught up in a 20 car pile-up on an interstate right on a state line and NO ONE knows who has jurisdiction and which state laws apply. And both states are totally different. Yes.

And if it was smutty enough, y'all would love it. Buncha pervs...

::grumbles::

Although - if it was Clark and Lex and the car was Clark's beat up old junker and he had *convinced* Lex to go on this disasterous trip and then once the pileup happens he won't let Lex use any Luthor clout - they just have to sit there in the cold for hours while the troopers figure out who needs to do what and meanwhile Lex is having a Control Freak Meltdown because he knows *exactly* how the officers need to report this *and* get the vehicles all back on their way and it is freezing and Clark is really just to cheerful to be borne.

Well that could work.
