Everything and then some

tarotgalGah... life is strange sometimes. Here's an account of my day thus far:
-Was woken up 3 hours early in order to get out of the house at a decent hour. I was expecting it, but tired. I slept in another half an hour after that.
-Got dressed, ate, brushed teeth/hair and then sat around waiting for another 35 minutes for sister to finish showering and dressing. Wish I'd slept in an hour instead of just half.
-Went to city government building to talk about my recent parking citating- the FIRST ticket I've ever received. It was for having an expired sticker/no county car sticker (even though I'm not required to have one until 60 days after my move). Got new decal and arranged to go to traffic court. Freaked out at the idea, but it's not until August. We'll see. I'm going to study the citation and then decide if I really do have a case.
-Got VISA bill. Shite. *shakes head* Thank the gods I got a lot of my deposit from my apartment back on Friday (though they made me pay about $140!)
-Did normal shopping/chores (visited my storage unit to pay bill but didn't bring key so I couldn't go in, got gas, dropped Mom's car off to be inspected overnight, dropped of library books, etc.)
-Convinced Mom to buy one of those nice cloth message boards (with the ribbons and things- we can't use thumbtacks/push pins in the kitchen because dog will eat them) and also bought a large padded envelope so I can send Hermione's something tomorrow!
-Got pissed at family... stupid little things. PMS-inspired rage. But at least we got home in time for me to see Angel at 5 :-)
-Started another short fic. It's... yeah, I know, it's terrible... but it's Snape/Remus *ducks and hides* I know! Look at me! Shipping THEM! Who woulda thunk it? I think it's reading all these fics from Sharon! I'm not going to make it a habit... but the bunny was too yummy to pass up. I was tempted to make it Brian/Justin instead, but Snape/Remus makes far more sense.
-Am still working my way through the boykissing requests. 2 down and (I think) 6 to go. But 2 are in progress. I'm writing them in order of request for the most part. One's in progress on the comp. The other in progress on paper. So when I finish the comp one I'll type the paper up and finish it while I work on another on paper... you get the routine. I'm trying to get them all done this week and I'm pretty hopeful still!
-Watched Jeopardy- MAN that Ken guy is fuckin' incredible! *wishes they never had number of day limits* I'm really interested to see how far he goes!
-Watched The Big One. I have Michael Moore's book 'Downsize This' but had never seen this movie. Couldn't stop laughing and cheering and clapping. Gods I love that man.
-Talked to ex-boyfriend on the phone for a couple hours. He's getting ready for the big move from Virginia to Microsoft (in Washington). Is having problems coordinating it all, but seems to be doing better today. Which is excellent. Am worried about his cat more than anything, but I'm sure it will be okay.
-Watched a game show scandal (Press Your Luck) show on GSN. Holy crap that was an interesting show. With a very sad ending :-(
-Had lots of incidents with the cats. We've been feeding them moist food once the dog goes to bed. They're all starting to get anxious when 10:00pm rolls around. And my Maxwell is a moist food whore. He cries and runs around frantically until he gets his. And then eats it twice as fast as the others. Then waits until the other 3 cats are done and eats what they leave behind. You'd think he never got fed in his life, the way he acts!
-Walked 4581 steps so far today. Will try to make it over 5,000 by the end of the day! *crosses fingers*
Okay. That's it. Off to write some more. I'm dead tired though. So we'll see.
Oh, I wanted to say one thing about Queer as Folk. Episode 8 is DEFINITELY my favorite episode ever!!!!! *loves* I cannot get over that one scene. I just... okay, yeah, I'm a hurt/comfort junkie. I admit that. But that scene... ugh... *dies* And then I watch episode 9 and think "This is the best season EVER!" Okay, so maybe there are other scenes I adore... and probably episodes I like more. But that scene in episode 8 is DEFINITELY my favorite scene of all time. Hands down. Prom is second, obviously, but... guhhh *is speechless with adoration* I was spoiled on the Lindsay storyline... which I don't particularly like. And I'm Darren finding a little odd. He's like Alexander in the original UK series... only not quite as lovable. I think my problem is his huge involvement when we've never known him before now (unless I totally missed something?). I love him, don't get me wrong. I just... I don't feel that strong attachment yet. It's okay. Took me a while to warm up to Ben that way, too. It'll happen. But... yeah... episode 8. Has. Best. Scene. Ever. And I can't get over how fucking adorable episode 9 is. I know it sounds horrible, but this Brian storyline is way too delicious for my tastes.

Date: 2004-06-29 11:26 pm (UTC)Best. Line. Ever. I agree with this being the best season ever, and I have to admit, I've been waiting for something like this since the first season. For Brian to be the one who needs to be taken care of, and comforted, and forced into bed. It's wonderful, and I adore Justin for acting the way he's been acting. It's just been perfect for me.
I'm SO mad at Linds. Just... grr. lol I can't stand stuff like that. It's horrid, and it gets me all mad. Ben, too. He's been ticking me off a fair bit. Not as much as Linds, but yeah. Grr. Though... there's a wonderful scene with him and Michael in episode ten which makes me just... glow. *happysigh*
Yay boys kissing! ♥ You rock my rainbow socks.

Exactly!!! So perfect! I'm rather glad they forced him into taking the money at the beginning of the season. Sort of got him used to accepting a little help when he realized he needed it. Then having to ask Ted for help (er, forcing Ted to help him multiple times)... yeah, definitely helped him prepare for this. And I'm loving every minute, even if I hate that he's hurting. Poor baby! Sometimes I wish I were Justin, but then I know I'd never be able to handle Brian so perfectly. LOVE episode 9. But that B/J scene in 8 with Justin crying... definitely my favorite ever. Scenes like these remind me a lot of Justin in season 2 after the bashing. There's so much h/c between them. It's like this HUGE underlying thing in their relationship they both understand but won't talk about but know it's a huge part of why they've been together... well, that and the fact that Justin's the only one who can put up with and equal Brian... *sigh* I love it.
Linds... yeah, I'm not so sad I was spoiled on her storyline. I personally don't like it and think it's stupid. I mean, considering how she flipped out when Mel cheated on her... it's not that she's suddenly not quite so lesbian any more (because, frankly, to me love is love and even though I ADORE ultra-lesbian Linds, she is an artist and I can understand her finding a guy attractive). The thing I'm pissed about is that she's SO huge on family and morals and she's cheating on her wife who's pregnant with their child! I can't imagine how fast the marriage would be over if Mel was doing that to her. I just... GRRRR! No. I'm sorry. And you can't use the 'brilliant, understanding artist' excuse because Melanie's so supportive of her work. Growl. I don't like it.
Ben... I'm sad to admit I'd act just like Ben if I were in his position. Well, not the dinner with former adoring student part, the being bitter because Michael's a success and people keep turning his book down. I wouldn't have the guts to try more than 5 publishers, let alone over 25! And so many rejections? I try and meditate and go with the flow of life, too, but even if I were as peaceful as Ben I'd be dead pissed 24-7. And I'd probably refuse the pity gift at first, too. Just cuz I'm a bitch when I'm fucking annoyed at my own failure. Yeah, it's not nice to watch... and I do expect more from Ben... but I know I wouldn't be behaving half as nicely as he is at times... so I'm not too ticked off. I'm so happy for Michael... though a bit scared and suspicious.
DAMN I wish episode 10 would download *pouts*
OMG... LOVES your icon! And now that I've seen some of the show, I actually get it... though I'm feeling *slightly* spoiled... but not really. Still LMAO! WAY too damn funny. Though I'm in a Lindsey-hating phase right now so I'm not too sad he practiced safe sex...
