Bah! Strange day & new obsession

tarotgalAnother day of randomness.
Stomach's been going in and out. Had a lovely dinner of toast, a lunch of soup, and a breakfast of bland plain pankcakes. I'm going to have to think about what to do about lunch tomorrow. I'm not going to be able to eat just anything the bossman throws at me.
It's been a day of car trouble. Mine failed inspection last week, so I dropped it off to be fixed tonight/tomorrow. My mother's going to give me a lift to work tomorrow morning (which makes me feel 10 years younger, but only because I REFUSE to borrow her car because I nearly hit three cars the last time I drove it with its fucking blind spots!). Last night my sister (who was supposed to be studying all night NOT out with her new-found boyfriend *giggly squeals that my little sister has her first boyfriend*) blew a tire. We got it replaced today and after repeatedly blowing off two Mormon blokes who looked like they were going to DIE if they didn't get to help up two female strangers finish changing a flat tire, we went to open the side door of the van and it wouldn't open. Let me rephrase that. It wouldn't open because the sliding door seems to have slipped off its track. Like it did once for me at a tailgating party. Lucky I'd had a handful of lovely strong men to help me put the giant door BACK ON my car. So we didn't pull it off and try to put it back on, but the door's ready to fall off at any time now. And the poor van is SO old it might not be worth getting it replaced and it's so sad!!!!! I love that van!!! Drove across country and up to Canada and back in it at least 5 times. It's so sad! I don't know what we're going to do about it. *sigh*
I also had fun working on calculus for 5 hours. Least that took my mind off the stomach thing. Which got immensely worse when I went outside for an hour to walk the neighbor's dog for them. I wonder if it's at all connected with the heat from the start, or if the heat just complicates the problem. It doesn't help, I know that much.
It's also been a day (well, LATE late night) of Buffyfic. Thanks in no small part to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shadowscast I am officially INCREDIBLY obsessed with Xander/Spike. And, more importantly, S/X h/c. It's like... I don't know... pure bliss. All the possibilities and dynamics and the sounds and visuals- Guh!!! If fic were sugar IVs, S/X h/c is just pouring bags of pure sugar into me. It's unbelievably intense, undiluted, perfected bliss. And it's made me remember why I stopped reading WIP's. LOL! (I'm such a "just one more chapter" fanfic junkie). But S/X h/c? Guuuuuuhhhhhh!
And, yes, okay, I've been sort of inspired to start my own. It's VERY plotless and quite pedestrian in comparison to some of the great works out there already, but I don't plan on churning it out or anything. I just want to sit on it a while and see where it takes me. And hug and cuddle the boys as my own for a little while before I actually DO anything with them publically. GHODS but I love writing. I constantly live in fear of a day when I can't use my hands and am unable to write. What a horribly morbid thing to think about on a daily basis, but it's sadly true. And I think being knee-deep in Vampires and angst for the last day is definitely taking its toll. Maybe I shouldn't watch Buffy again tonight when I go to sleep... *thinks about falling asleep to sexy crying!Spike and takes that back*

S/X...my all-time favorite BtVS pairing...and you are right-there are just soooo many nummy possibilities out there.
*happy thoughts of possible Spike-y goodness from you*

Date: 2005-06-14 05:01 am (UTC)This is EXACTLY what your Legolas/Gimli fics do to me...and it's why I crave them so very desperately. Each time you post another one, it's as addicting as a hit of fanfic h/c heroin!
Lots of other Legolas h/c fics give me a bit of that buzz, but very few writers of Legolas h/c remain in the fandom who are willing to do justice to Gimli as well...most ignore him/relegate him to the side/treat him like a loudmouthed idiot/etc., and replace him with Aragorn in the 'most dear friend on Arda' role. I thank my lucky stars you love to write as much as you do, and that you get such pleasure from it!

But you've no idea how wonderful it is to know someone else understands what I was trying to say! Not to mention the fact that you include my stories in that yummy- which is SUCH a nice compliment.
There's just not enough time to write, I've decided. *pouts* But I do VERY much enjoy L&G. I was going to say they are like a breath of fresh air... but that's not really right. They're more like... a cozy, fuzzy warm breath. Even when it's not an especially snuggly story (wait, when would I write something like that?!) just the vibe they give me as characters is so warm and comfy and familiar. I love it.
And speaking of stars... that reminds me to jot down notes for a L/G bunny I had back in April I never got around to adding to my list. It's a tiny little scene-bunny with L&G sharing a blanket out on Star Shine Eve :-)

Date: 2005-06-17 09:40 am (UTC)Ooooh, don't get me started on Elves and starry nights and all! Lots of people associate Legolas with sunlight, what with the light blonde movie hair and all (which is a theory I support canon-wise, since it's a fact that Thranduil has golden hair, and that's the only part of Legolas's genetics we have any proof about). Personally though, I love the mental image of Legolas perched up on a comfy tree branch, watching the stars dance through the gaps in the canopy, with gentle moonlight and starlight glinting on his pale skin and hair, making him glow with a pure, natural radiance...*Sigh*
Your fic idea sounds lovely...and any excuse for L/G to engage in some blanket activities is a-ok with me! ;)
