Accomplishing Things!

tarotgalI just caught up on Supernatural. It's been hard work--emotional work--getting through 3 years of the show. But I'm in a good place now to be able to attend the SPN con in a couple weeks without getting spoiled. So I'm glad I did it for that.
But I feel HORRIBLE now. I feel empty. There is no more Supernatural for me to watch. I hate this feeling. Hate it so much. I'm going to be super glad once the con is over and I can go back to not watching it and letting episodes pile up with the knowledge that there is so many more amazing scenes waiting for me still.
It's weird, right? To have a show I love SO much that I don't want to watch it? LOL
I'm also done with 5 and a half of the 6 stories I need to write for my hurt/comfort bingo card to get a bingo. If I can manage more fills later, that's fine. But at least now I'll have met the basic commitment I signed up for. And if I get that done now, I don't have to worry about it while I'm doing NaNo or writing gift fics. I'm kinda nervous that my move to dreamwidth means I won't have a lot of takers for giftfics this year. So I hope I'm wrong in that.
I finished earreading Geekarella this morning. What a delightful book! I love retellings of fairy tales but putting a fandom twist on it was just the best! I loved it. Thank you, indie book store checkout clerk, for recommending it.
Tomorrow I'm driving up to work (not my normal day in the office) so I can finish setting up my office. I'm 90% unpacked but not yet organized. We just got most of the rest of our furniture installed on Monday, which means I have a credenza with a hutch on top and a deep cabinet that LOCKS! After 11 years of working here, I no longer have to lock computers up in my one tiny little filing cabinet, stacking laptops and other electronics on top of each other. Now I have an actual, secure place to put them where they can't get damaged. I bought some organizing bins at the Dollar Tree yesterday, and I'm excited about getting to work organizing with them tomorrow. I LOVE ORGANIZING THINGS. Puttings things in order is my favorite. That's probably why I cried with happiness when I finished organizing the boxes in the server room a few weeks back. I have always wanted an organized server room with labeled boxes and now I have one of those also. Squee! I'm really very excited about all of this. Wish I could get equally excited about cleaning my house. But it's just not the same.
Speaking of which... it's trash & recycling roundup time! I lead such an exciting life, don't I? LOL Well, at this time next week, I'll be in Portland (Oregon), so that's something at least.

Third of all, I thought this all still crossposted to LJ and IJ, so why would you have fewer fic requests?
Fourth of all, I'm still earreading Fangirl and having so many Thoughts about it I don't even know where to start. It might call for its own emo journal post. But of course every second makes me think of you - in a good way, of course. :)
Fifth of all, I have absolutely no idea why I enumerated this whole comment. But hey, I love lists. Who doesn't love lists? (Don't tell me and burst my happy little list-loving bubble.)

Yay! I watched it all so fast, I'm not sure I even have thoughts. But definitely up for any discussion with you!!!

In theory, this is good logic. However, I have noticed a significant drop in comments/interactions/engagements since my move. Don't know why that is--maybe people are just bored with my complaints and strange life by now? heehee!

We're having a book discussion of it and Carry On June 21! Am glad you're liking it. I definitely relate to Cath. Mostly, I just love seeing a realistic fangirl who isn't the nerdy joke in the story but the heroine. It's great seeing a genuine reflection of what it's like to passionately love a series that's coming to an end.

I LOVE LISTS! Lists are the best.
