8:25 pm - Look! Up in the sky!
|
Wow. It's been...yeah. Five months, maybe? Life has been chaotic, but it seems to be (maybe, hopefully, please please please) settling down, so I'm going to try to catch up on lj and fandom-related happenings. I'm sure there's been loads of wonderful fic and discussion happening in QAF - I'm excited, because that means there's lots to read, and a little intimidated, 'cause I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any suggestions for particularly wonderful fic and/or commentary in QAF? I kept up with Season 4 QAF, so I'm up to date storyline-wise. I also have some half-finished stories that have been sitting on my hard drive for five months, and I'm sure the plotlines have been used and abused by now, but I'm going to write them anyway.
I saw Helen of Troy on A&E yesterday, and just...ew. I'm on a four day break from classes for Rosh Hashanah, and I've been lazing about and watching late-night television, and I've realized that there's no such thing as a good made-for-tv movie. My Lit paper is actually starting to look appealingly interesting.

11:51 am - It's SPRING!
|
I have been suffering such spring fever, it is simply unimaginable. Which unfortunately means that papers have not been written, exams have not been studied for, and there is a general dearth of finished work in my house. All of this is bad. On the upside, there is sun. And tulips. And trees with leaves on them. All of this is exciting to me, and gives me hope that perhaps the depression and grayness of winter is lifting.
Also, QUEER AS FOLK! I was coming home from Massachusetts last night, my friend was driving, and in my sleepy haze I got my FIRST EVER GLIMPSE of an ad for season four. I haven't even seen any promos yet, so this was exciting. It was in one of those glass bus-stop thingies, and it said So Gay in big letters, with the QAF logo underneath. I embarrassed myself by squealing uncontrollably.
In further QAF news, I was watching taped episodes of my other favorite show ever, Homicide: Life on the Street, and in one of the commercials, who did I see? Scott Lowell! Again with the squealing. It was a commercial for some hair-loss prevention product, and Scott was lovely, and it general it was exciting.
Question: I'm doing research for a S1 gapfiller, and so - does anyone recall the episode in which Michael has that dream about the broken condom? I think it's right after he and Ben have argued about being positive and using steroids. Thanks!

10:49 am - AHHHHH!
|
The feedback that I've gotten has really, completely blown me away. I've always been kind of a shy writer (anonymity is one of livejournal's perks) so every nice thing that people said about my fic really, really meant a lot to me. :) Thanks so much!
Meanwhile...my season 1 DVDs of QAF arrived last week, and OH MY GOD. I had never seen Season 1, having begun watching the show on Showtime on Demand halfway through Season 2, and let me just say that the last week has been one enormous QAF orgy. It's been so interesting to see the characters that I know and love before they became fully developed - Brian is such a prick! And Justin is so brave and silly and fun and, just, guh! Would it be weird for me to start writing Season 1 gap-fillers when everyone else is caught up in the Season 4 craze? Because I have plot bunnies like you wouldn't believe. I was struck by a plotline halfway through a class yesterday and now I have half a page about Brian and Justin and no notes on the collapse of the Bismarkcian system.

10:50 pm - oops
|
Forgot. Fic posted mere moments ago is QAF US, B/J, Michael POV. I'm just realised that fandoms develop rather intricate shorthand systems. I feel like I'm transmitting a secret code.

I feel as though I'm slacking on an assignment because I'm not writing in this thing after I went to the trouble of setting it up. I think I'm going to try to get back into this lj thing, I always find it somewhat amusing whilst I'm actually posting, it just seems like such a Herculean task when I've just got in and I could be sleeping or being lazy or reading something. But look! See me post! Also, there is fic. That I may post tonight. If I figure out how. Please hold.
current mood: determined

8:43 pm - So Tired
|
It's been such a long weekend - I don't even have the energy to check for new QAF fics, so you know it's bad. I spent Friday night at this insane party, which would have been a lot of fun except that my best friend overdid it and I spent all night worrying that I should be calling 911. So once rumor got out that cops and/or ambulances were on the way, the party broke up and I was stuck in the middle of a park with my near-comatose best friend. We spent the night at someone else's house uptown, and I got about two hours of sleep.
And you know what the weirdest part was? I came home on Saturday morning after one of the most emotionally and physically draining nights of my life, and told my parents how I'd slept over at a friend's house, and we'd watched some movies and sang along to the Grease soundtrack. My dad smiled and ruffled my hair and I went to my room and curled up and went to sleep. I'm glad it's over.
On the bright side, I'm trying to work up the nerve to break into the QAF fandom. It's a little intimidating because there are already so many amazing writers there - josselin, mintwitch, julad, JustVisiting, and myrna1_2_3 just to name a few. But the plot bunnies are sneaking out from under the sofa so I might have to give it a shot. We'll see. In the meantime, I have a couple of Everwood fics to finish, although that fandom is really not exciting me anymore.
This is officially the first time ever that I'll be glad when it's Monday.

12:04 am - Yuck.
|
Ugh. I am suffering one of those awful cold - slash - allergy attacks type things. Which means that I'm sitting huddled in about four sweatshirts with a box of kleenex exactly two inches from my right hand. Ick. On a side note, I'm waiting for my mom to get in, and as soon as she does I plan to guilt her into the ground with my coughing and feverish babble. How pathetic is it that I'm waiting up for my mom on a Saturday night? I'm consoling myself with the thought that she doesn't get out much, so I can't really begrudge her a few hours here and there.
Task of the evening - figuring out how to make a list of friends and access said list, so all the lovely journals I frequent don't accumulate on my favorites list. Am giving it another ten minutes, and then am going to bed. *achoo*
current mood:  cranky

8:56 pm - It's Friday Night
|
|
So I finally figured out how to make this thing work - extremely exciting. I also managed to teach my laptop to burn CDs, which was possibly even more exciting. It's been a good day on the technology front. Meanwhile, because I'm a dork with the attention span of a gnat, I think I'm gonna go get some blueberries and a blanket and watch Brink! on TV. Who loves Disney? I love Disney. I also had an interesting cpnversation with a friend lately, in which she insisted that Brink! is full of homoerotic innuendo. I think she lies. But Queer is Folk isn't on until Sunday, and I think I'm due for a dose of good, clean fun, so I'm off to find some pjs and watch Erik VOn Detten be a skater bum. I love Fridays.
