Thinky thoughts and pretty things
Getting off work early (but only because I came in early) at 2 pm instead of 3 pm, is kinda pointless when the reason is that you have to be home with the kids (who have two days off school) because hubby has to go work until late in the evening. All it really means is that the day moves backwards one hour, otherwise it's just the same. Plus there's no one to make us dinner. *sighs*
I need to do some laundry and empty and reload the dishwasher but all I really want to do is soak in the bathtub because my back is killing me. Usually if I sleep more than 8 hours I wake up with my back and ribcage hurting so bad I can't breathe. Lately it's been chopping down to five hours and last night two damn hours. With all the painkillers I'm eating no wonder I'm having stomach problems. Which are, btw, very annoying of the bloating I-think-I-might-be-about-to-give-birth-to-an-alien-baby kind. *groans*
My laptop is being good for once. I let it be for a couple of days, just sitting alone unplugged, thinking over what a bad computer it had been. I'm hoping it has learned its lesson because it turned on no problem earlier. Thank god, the Dell laptop hubby loaned me is just NOT my iBook. For one thing the keyboard is all weird and also it doesn't have all my music, which I desperately need when working on timestamps.
Speaking of which, I have a Doors timestamp ready, about 10.000 words, which I'm actually very pleased with. However it does get into a touchy subject that I'm a bit worried might put some people off. Basically the whole Jensen/Mason thing if you remember how that went down. Honestly, it's not saying much more than what was put forward in the original but it's a question of interpretation, not ours but Jared's and Chris's, of the events and what effect that has on Jensen. It doesn't really get resolved in this particular timestamp but another that I'm working on at the moment (which is also at 10.000 words and growing *rolls eyes at self*) but like I said, in this one it's more about interpretation than actual insight, and depending on which one you listen to, the guys or Jensen, it could be seen as everything from bad judgment under the influence of drugs to actual sexual abuse, even rape.
Thing is, Jensen's mind doesn't really work as much with reality as normal people's minds do. He has a whole other world made up of dreams and wishes and nightmares and visions etc that blend in with everything else. Which makes it pretty hard for him as well as others to know what are real memories and what are based on his imagination. So that's kinda where I'm going with that (and actually it's just a subplot in both of those timestamps, the main plot being 1) meeting his mother again and 2) running into one of the doctors from Inside) them trying to find out what is the truth in what happened with the little info they have. And how Jensen handles the possibility that maybe things weren't as okay as he insists they were when it comes to that whole thing.
Uhm, vague rambling is vague. I'm not really sure why I'm going on about this except maybe that yes, I'm worried it might stroke some people the wrong way even if it's mainly speculations. I don't want to mess up people's idea of events I've already written about if it consequently ruins part of the story for them. As silly as I'm sure that sounds. But yeah, that's mainly my concern. *ponders*
Hmm, didn't mean for that to get so long. Actually the main reason I was posting was to show off this manip that stawberynvanila made me for my birthday!
Mmm, yummy treasure trail and tattoos. *g*
Thank you SO much, honey! You are a total sweetheart. *squishes*
