    I'm Freaking Out
    K, I'm in full WARDROBE PANIC mode. Half of my clothes are green it seems, so why do I not have a single green tank top (here, anyways). I need something to go with my abandonment emeralds* that I'm wearing to the party tonight. This is ridiculous. Also, my hair won't curl. Damn it all...


    Hung out with Brendan and Sarah last night which was excellent and awesome. We watched music videos and talked fandom and they forced me to watch the scariest episode(s) of Dr Who they could find. Okay, considering I've only ever seen 2 episodes and they were both terrifying beyond all reason, I am not feeling overly compelled to watch any more. I don't liiiiike scary things! *whines* K, maybe I'm lying. That Doctor fellow was freakin' hilarious. BUT STILL. Freddy will watch with me because he likes sci-fi and he doesn't like when I get too scared, but he's going to get very short at me about the accents. He's a teensy bit racist.

    OH. Speaking of unnecessary discrimination against things that are awesome...

    A little bird wrote me some Sassy fic for Christmas and I went pretty spastic over that this morning and then recc'd everything she's ever written (literally).

    So happy winter and all that :D

    K GUYS, I have 3 ficmixes to do ritenao so I'm going. K, bye.

    Holiday Gift for My Janis
    Dear [info]bluehippos,
    Happy holidays!
    I wanted to make you a music mix, but I also wanted to write you fanfiction for Chuck. So I did both!

    Chuck’s Super Secret Spy Mix )

    Hope you didn’t hate it.

    ILU,
    Leen

    Holiday Gift For Bean
    Dear [info]epiphanyx7,
    Happiest of holidays!
    I was going to make you a most excellent mix tape, but I don’t actually remember how to use a tape recorder so I did it all on the interwebular machine instead.

    by now you're guessing i'm liking you )

    Now remember, you promised this wouldn’t result in a restraining order.
    Happy holidays!

    I Really Am The Good One
    Without getting into eleven years or so of back story, let's just say I think my family has hit the end of their tolerance for my step brother.

    Not to brag or anything, but I hit my limit about five years ago so they're just jumping on my bandwagon.

    I'm also currently hiding in the bedroom because it sounds like WW3 is going on upstairs. That'd be cool, I normally like the bedroom, except I really gotta pee and damn if I'm not craving a bagel. I mean, it's been an hour and a bit already they have to be done soon, right?

    *facepalm*

    Letter to Santa
    Dear Santa...

    Dear Santa,

    This year I've been busy!

    In October I helped [info]emerald_embers see the light (8 points). Last Monday I committed genocide... Sorry about that, [info]epiphanyx7 (-5000 points). Last Tuesday I put gum in [info]tristafantastic's hair (-12 points). In April I farted in an elevator (-6 points). Last Wednesday on a flight to Colorado Springs, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points).

    Overall, I've been naughty (-5050 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!

    Sincerely,
    unavoidedcrisis

    Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

    Thoughts About Writing
    Alright, so this might get whiny.

    I know I'm not a great writer. I don't have the flair for the creative like I wish I did. I can't make people cry or laugh or think deep thoughts with my prose. I probably never will. I've long since accepted I am not an all star when it comes to that.

    My writing averages about a C-. My very favourite, most proud writing moments might score a C+ or a B-. Not stellar, but average. Enough to get me by.

    I woke to a review from FFN (aka: Pit of Voles) in my inbox. I haven't posted anything to FFN since December 2007, and the story that the review was for was from 2004. That's almost six years ago now. I read the story again. It was decent! Like, two spelling mistakes, some extra commas here and there. And it doesn't change tense once through the whole story, which was my biggest problem as a young writer. The characters were believable and followed canon, it had a unique concept and I happen to think it was one of my better-titled works (god, I am so bad at titles).

    The review I got?

    "Um, WTH is this supposed to be?"

    Yeah, maybe I'm just hormonal or something, or pissy because I dislike the holidays, but it irked me. It irked me like the 'you need to move your car' lady irked me. I didn't think anything of it at time, but as the day went on, I got more and more ticked off.

    So I deleted everything off my FFN account. Closed down the whole thing. I salvaged what I could from the fiery wreckage of sub-par fanfiction. It'll get remodeled and retitled (I was worse then at titles and I am still shit at them. Scary thought!!) and posted to my writing journal if I am feeling prolific.

    It might seem like an overreaction, but it was something I kept meaning to do anyways and this anonymous idiot just pushed me over the edge.

    I mean, unsigned, anonymous review, really? I can see not liking a story and wanting to leave concrit for the author, or hating it entirely and not leaving anything at all, but to take the time to respond just to be a big sack of dicks? Yeah, the internet is a hate machine, I know, but it just irritates me to no end.

    </rant>

    Oh, and it turns out, I was writing crackfic before it was cool to write crackfic. You might be interested to know I was writing 'so and so is suddenly a dinosaur!! But everyone's okay with it because, come on, it kind of makes sense' before it became The Thing.

    Current Mood: grumpy
