Whaddaya mean there's no story?
What a weird sensation to not have a story to post tonight. After 2 straight weeks of posting a story [or more] daily, this feels kinda weird... But now I have time to work on other deadline stories, but I may have submitted a request to claim Rachel Corrigan for the Tarot Card Round over at femslash100... Because, really? I'm a masochist and can't say no to this kind of shit... Plus, 
shatterpath and I had a great conversation about Rachel today that really solidified that she should be the character I work on for this particular journey of the Major Arcana. Which means that Alex is definitely along for the ride, bumpy as it's going to be. *veg* I'm not adding it to my list of ficathons & challenges until I get the official approval of my claim request.
The relpax I took last night to help get rid of my migraine? Yeah, it didn't work so much. In fact, I had a slightly weirder experience than I'm normally used to. A] I don't take it at night unless it's really bad, and it was really bad. B] While it makes me sleepy, stupid, and dizzy, the dizzy was more pronounced last night. I was laying in bed and literally felt the room and the bed shift around me before I finally fell asleep. Then, while sleeping, I could feel someone/something sitting on the corner of my bed. Like felt the heat of it on my skin and felt the mattress dipped like something was weighing it down. Nothing bad, mind you, but something was there in the room with me. My guess? I had someone [or one of the ghost kitties] keeping an eye on me while i slept. Got up this morning, and work was definitely a no-go. After I made my call, I was out again for several hours before I felt vaguely human again.
This afternoon, we took Elphie to PetCo to get kitty treats. And I spoiled Princessa Elphie by buying her a lovely leopard print tent bed that she'd fallen in love with. Thankfully, it wasn't terribly expensive. Have spent the bulk of the afternoon and evening with Olympics coverage in the background. Too bad I'm going to bed before the skating is done, damn it!
havocthecat has a great post about "female character rivalry & internalized misogyny" [and I apologize for snagging the bulk of your title, Havoc, but I liked it] on DW & LJ. I made a comment on the DW post, and may have gotten foot in mouth disease for it re: a character I commented on. If I did, I apologize for my initial comment, as I perhaps could have worded it better. *is a dumbass sometimes* But I have more thinky thoughts arising from this post, and I've been thinking about my reactions to various female characters over the years and where my internal misogyny might be stemming from. There will probably be another post about this in the next few days, to be honest...
Anyway, bedtime now... G'night, everybody!
