solafiammaSo, yeah. I was sick, and then I wasn't, and then I was, and then I was sick of my sick self, and that is pretty much all I have to say about that.
You'd think I'd have plenty to blether about such a long time of not blethering about anything, wouldn't you? You'd think I'd have been storing it up, going "ooh, now there's a bon mot for lj, mustn't forget that" and "oh, my, wouldn't that be a fabulous topic for an lj poll" and "hey! lj would know the answer to that burning question." Sadly, no. As it turns out, I've been assiduously avoiding thinking at all, with remarkable success. And thus, in lieu of actual content, I bring you this list of random and inconsequential minutiae, which, although possibly not as compelling as a poll on the relative squickiness of death!fic, incest!fic, favourite-pairing-spawns-adorable-offspring!fic and Jay Leno in drag, is vastly more palatable, I'm sure, than the litany of bruisy spottiness I might have treated you to.

metafandomis hideously addictive. I should never have peeked.- My job is not hideously addictive. It is hideously stressful, though, which I suppose has a certain entertainment value. Or would if I were a masochist. Which I appear not to be, given the total lack of "ooh, yay, stress" I have going on.
- Writing update: MCR challenge story is now so grossly overdue no one will even remember the challenge. (Although, since the challenge didn't actually have a deadline, I guess technically it's not overdue per se. Any excuse, dude.) SPN bigbang story: 2,000 words out of 20,000 written. Go me! Popslash Remix: Shoot me now, please.
- I need to be soundly shot if I ever express an interest in signing up for another challenge. Leave a comment if you'd like to volunteer.
- I'm getting bloody sick of the delays between Supernatural episodes.
- Planning eleven simultaneous public forums in eleven different communities makes me want to bite people. A lot of people. Repeatedly.
*checks brain for late-breaking observations and opinions* Nope, that's all I've got.

Date: 2007-04-11 06:25 pm (UTC)Dude, I kind of want to kiss you right now, because I haven't started my popslash remix yet either! I don't even know which story I'm remixing yet!
OH THE HORROR.

Date: 2007-04-11 07:40 pm (UTC)But, whatev. It's early days still, right? Way too early to panic at this stage. We laugh in the face of looming deadlines.

Date: 2007-04-11 07:41 pm (UTC)11 forums? Ack (and other cat-vomit-style noises as appropriate).
Feel free to poke me in chat if I can help with the remix.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-04-11 07:48 pm (UTC)Ack is it. The ackishness of 11 forums is not to be borne. And yet I continue to not resign effective immediately. How stupid am I?
I will be poking you vigorously in chat, believe me. Oops. That didn't come out quite right. :)

Date: 2007-04-11 08:09 pm (UTC)Um. Not STUPID precisely. More. Um. Hopeful? Postive? Optimistic? Ok... mostly synonyms for incipient sainthood (and I don't think sanity is a criteria for becoming a saint).
Poking! Hmmm. *jiggles ticklishly*
I'm stuck in a stupid conference for most of today and tomorrow WITH NO NET ACCESS WAH! But I'm here for another half hour or so. And I keep escaping throughout the day as I only need to be there BETWEEN forums. So we could make a date and I'll eject myself from sitting there with my brain making sparklyglee prompts.

Date: 2007-04-11 08:26 pm (UTC)I'm sticking with stupid. It's less scary than saintliness. :)
Bleh to conferences. Bleh squared. What time would be best for skiving off? *struggles with mental arithmentic to figure out when I might be available your time* I'm pretty open this afternoon, but tomorrow is a bit meeting-ridden. I'll get home about 6-ish, though, which would be 2-ish your time, right? Any time after that would work. I'll email you this evening re: what stories I'm thinking of you and you can TELL ME WHAT TO WRITE!!!!

Date: 2007-04-11 08:37 pm (UTC)Today. Ok. I'll be back here at *throws hands up in dismay at mathematical unskills* um... 3.30pm... so 8.30pm your time. I think. You're five hours ahead.
Is that ok?
If you've figured out which story you're remixing you could send me the link and I could check it out if I get any free spots. Not those kind of spots. Sorry. *g*

I know!!! It's not like I failed grade one or anything, I should be able to handle a bit of basic subtraction. Or addition. Or whatever. Sigh. I guess that would be the problem. PLUS OR MINUS, OMG, I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER!!!! But. Yes, 8:30 sounds good. Do we mean tonight or tomorrow? Never mind, I'll be around for both. *slaps some sense into self*
I'll make my remixy decision when I get home and send you the link to peruse at your leisure.

Date: 2007-04-12 02:28 am (UTC)Popslash remix-maybe we should have a mass shooting?
(no subject)
Date: 2007-04-12 02:41 am (UTC)A mass shooting! Sounds like just the ticket. I'm in. Urgh.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-04-12 03:10 am (UTC)You need to see this (http://community.livejournal.com/j2_daily/28796.html) (because pretty) and this (http://community.livejournal.com/dean_sam/1255170.html) (because awesome).
No comments otherwise; I'm blissfully writing-free! *runs away*

Date: 2007-04-12 03:23 am (UTC)Go ahead and gloat. Your day will come. In the meantime, ooh, nice icon. :)

Date: 2007-04-12 04:56 am (UTC)*nods* Also, Jensen? Has a freckle right in the dip of his lower lip. Which makes me gleefully happy. :)
In the meantime, ooh, nice icon. :)
Isn't it just? In my memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?keyword=spn+images&user=madame_d&sortby=des), I have a list of manips from that episode, at the top under Art. They're all fabulous, and most of them come with icons :)

Date: 2007-04-12 05:01 pm (UTC)Dude, your memories are freakishly well-organized. Also, you have LOTS. I'm equally impressed and envious. How lazy would it be of me to capitalize on your hard work and just copy them all ... ? EXTREMELY, that's how.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-04-12 05:06 pm (UTC)The problem with freckles is that once you have them, they're everywhere, without any consideration for your preferences. At least Jensen's in the middle of his lip. I've got one in the corner of my lower lip, and people always think it's dirt or chocolate or whatever, and I keep having to airbrush it out of digital pictures, unless I'm wearing dark lipstick that covers it up. Annoying!
Please feel free to copy my memories! Actually, one of the suggestions made to the LJ team was ability to put into memories other people's memory pages. And yes, I'm very proud of how organized they are; I spent quite a few hours one evening setting them up and organizing and stuff. :)

Date: 2007-04-12 10:46 pm (UTC)You should feel proud. You've done an awesome job. Thank you for permission to be a lazy ho and copy them. Imitation, dude. The sincerest form of flattery. I know how I'm avoiding writing when I get home.

Date: 2007-04-12 10:54 pm (UTC)*sniff-wobble* Bbbbut.
I know how I'm avoiding writing when I get home.
On second thought, that permission goes into effect uh... May 1st. :D
