Quote of the Day

"When you're suffering, I mean really suffering, it's the clichés that heal you."
~Prof/Father in 'Dead Like Me'

I like that :-)

On a sad note, I forgot to tape movie I wanted to see so badly... GRRRRRR!!! So pissed at self. Bought it on amazon.com to make myself feel better. UG. I feel SO stupid. Growl. I'm pissed at myself.

On a happy note, I finally finished that Harry-birthday fic yesterday I started back in July... and just now finished another story full of interesting narration and a quick ending that I think I might have to read over and revise. We'll see. It's full of fun characters I'm adoring to death, especially the narrator. He's my boy-o :-)

And I'm making progress on my Ken/Omi vid. It's almost done- I'm going to work on it later tonight and tomorrow... and hopefully finish it. I've made 5 versions so far and I still have to finish the last one and tweak it in a few spots... I'm not too happy with the beginning still, but I don't have the heart to start over again from scratch :-)

And... I'm watching more of X. Oohhhh I love this series! Much much.

Aaaaannnndddd... I'm not going home until the hurricane is over. We're getting just a storm where I am so I think it'd be stupid to drive to a place that's going to get hit harder on purpose, you know? LOL

Anyway, so there we have it. I'm going to tackle the dishes tonight... and maybe vaccuum a little this evening... er... maybe not... we'll see. I haven't done dishes in, like, a month though. Gods. I'm not really that much of a pig, I just don't use lots of dishes. I think I have maybe 4 plates, 3 bowls, one pot, one tupperware container, and a few spoons/forks/knives and that's it.

I want desperately to finish this Obi fic... poor Obi-love... too much angst and torture all at once and no one to make him feel better... *sniffles*

Isabel

Funny thing is, Isabel's the name of my boyfriend's cat. So everytime I hear it (which lately is several times an hour) I think of his cat. She's not THAT bad! Oh... the hurricane... riiiight...

Anyway, if I disappear because of it, I apologize. It's not supposed to be very bad here (in fact, we've got a football game Thursday night and they're not even cancelling it- though they are sending warnings about being careful of the fans coming in from the other university who tend to get, er, rowdy) I'm protected by mountains and all.
But I am worried about family up in northern VA. I think they'll be fine (they have a sub-ground basement and a whole cabinet they put together back when everyone in DC was scared they were going to be bombed or worse. So they've got water for 6 months and food for 4 and a special phone and a radio that doesn't use electricity and flashlights and batteries for a year and duct tape and pet supplies and all that. Ah. Isn't paranoia great?
And you wonder why I'm a hypochondriac, growing up with parents like this? LOL!

Hope everyone on the coast in the cat, er, hurricane's way takes care! Be safe! (Maybe not quite as paranoid as my family, but safe!)
