All the RomCom of Qi Xi

Class continues to be, err, "interesting". It's boring but, at least, I can get to the more interesting stuff after this. Textbook dramaz continue as I just refused delivery of the two sets of books that shouldn't have been sent to me.

My dogs are out of sorts, they're constantly looking around for Chubbs and IDK how to help with that. My left eye is swollen weird - IDK what I did when I had a crying jag but whatever it is, it fucked up my eye but good. It's swollen almost completely shut and it's the top and the bottom of the eye. It's not pink eye, at least according to the doctor I went to see about it. Doctor told me to just wait a few days to see if the swelling goes done - something about stressing the tear ducts or something. IDK, I'm not a medically inclined person.

Anyway - so the dogs are fighting, I'm fighting with my family and it's all this chaotic negative energy everywhere. I'm also 3 hours short of keeping my insurance from Fry's. But that's almost all right as I no longer need surgery as my endometriosis has responded to treatment, my andometriosis is under control and my ovarian cysts have been reabsorbed and are no longer causing me issues. So they called off my surgeries. I can switch to the shitty insurance for a month. I'm not stressing over it any longer. I don't have time.

In better news - my help_haiti auction for fic ended up going to katmarajade for a mindboggling amount. I shall be writing Deamus for her. Current plot points planned put the fic at over 50k. Poor elanorofcastile, anathema91 and shygryf have had to put up with me babbling my way through this plot. It's either going to be the greatest HP fic I've ever written or it's going to fall flat on its ass. I don't think there's going to be a middle ground for it. Here's to hoping that it ends up succeeding beyond my wildest dreams.

In even better news - IDK how many of you all that actively read my LJ were around for my car loan dramaz but, basically, shit happened and I had to pay off my car with a loan from Bank of Dad back in 2006. Well, I have 3 more payments. THREE MORE PAYMENTS. I've been paying on this car since November of 2002, peeps. THREE MORE PAYMENTS. Three more and then I'm free!

In other random news - I watched all of the Lord of the Ring movies in the past two nights. Well, by "all", I mean that I skipped all the Frodo bits. The unnecessary zoom on Frodo's eyes annoys the fuck out of me after awhile. I also sort of skipped Legolas a bit as I got tired of the dramatic staring past the camera. I did watch all the Karl parts. And the David Wenham parts. And the Merry/Pippin parts. And all the battles. Oh Helm's Deep, I was already overly emotional. Haldir dying had me sobbing uncontrollably.

Which brings me to my last point - as much as I loved the slashy goodness of Holmes, methinks that my participation in the Sherlock Holmes fandom is going to be like my participation in LOTR. As much as I love the fic, I have no energy or drive to consume the original book source material and nor do I feel it necessary to write in said fandom(s). I'm sort of sad about that.

Dear Anonymous,

ILU.

Love,

See my underwear dancing guy? He's BACK!!!!!!!! You can thank anonymous for that lovely dancing guy. *LOVES MORE* I totally didn't post about the missing the icons thing because I was hitting someone up for paid time or anything but I'm not letting you take it back *gimme hands towards icons again*

Anyone heard of Ellora's Cave? Thoughts, feelings?

I neglected to pimp my gift at hpvalensmut which I totally thought I had. I blame exhaustion.I also hope that the artist forgives me. Making up by Anonymous FOR NOW and it's Dean/Seamus. It's a funny cute sketchy sort of artwork that has voyeur!owls, a nod to Dean/Luna, fighting, make-up kissing and sex and loads and loads of possessive MINES and KISSES. Did I mention there was kissing? Cause there is. I'm in love with this as it's a really fun piece. Go heap love on the artist, plz?

Valentine's Day was a day filled with good news all around. I don't give a piss about Valentine's Day as I feel it's a made up holiday marketed merely to make people spend money to prove something that they should show on a daily basis or make single people feel awful because they're single. I'm blissfully single, especially after the last dating debacle. Instead, I had a brilliant lunch, fantastically productive meetings with my coworkers (unlike Wednesday's meetings), and an awesome Philly cheesesteak where the owner gave me strawberries because I'm cute *BEAMS*.

rs_games is looking to be fun. hd_worldcup is going along swimmingly. Am awaiting the flood of entries for slashfest because omg, so many outstanding stories.

I'm rather inspired by this remus/sirius artwork as it's so lovely. Someone convince me to write what's due instead? Plz?

Had a vet visit for Cisco and Nala today. Cisco has a growth in his inner thigh that the vet suspects is cancerous (she gave me 50/50 odds). ( cut to spare the uninterested )

I know this is going to sound harsh but - I also do NOT want to hear "my dog had cancer and this is what happened" scenarios. I've seen animals with cancer. I've had animals with cancer. I know what it can mean. Seriously, just keep him in your thoughts and that's enough.

So, the doggies -

The reason Cisco is having issues? He's getting old. So, am a little upset about it but my wallet says A-OK. so I'm just going to not think about it.


Anyway - Question -


Anyone familiar with Knights of the Old Republic? Anyone want to beta a story for me?

Anyone familiar with Stephanie Plum? Anyone want to beta a story for me?

Anyone familiar with The Muppets? Anyone want to beta a story for me?



How's everyone?
