notes on getting ambushed in a dark alley at knifepoint by a demented plot bunny

Sep 27, 2011 02:46

How I know I have gone off the deep(er) end:

I have just spent more time researching the US military (army application process [so complicated! how anyone has the time to get in is beyond me], layout and organization of Fort Meade [argh, don't even ask], Arlington funerals [read this if you want to feel patriotic and teary-eyed], whether Arlington has a Metro stop [yes], standard-issue army pistol models [Beretta M9, currently, but that may soon change!], etc.) for a freaking GI Joe fic than I usually spend researching anything for any story. *headdesk*

Okay, bed now.

(4,300 words, incidentally. What on earth am I doing???)
