Due to length, I wonder if anyone will actually read this.
Okay, so I'm not dead, despite the fact the I didn't think that I would survive the summer. I worked two jobs. I was a bank teller Monday through Friday, and tended bar on Saturday and Sunday. Days off, never seemed to happen. When I wasn't working, I was sleeping, except for those times when my family and friends demanded my attention. I didn't sleep much at all, about four hours a night actually, at the most. 'Why did I go through all of this?' one might care to ask. Well, I wrecked my car. It's embarrassing how it happened and I'd rather not talk about it, but my insurance didn't cover it and my parents blamed my own dumb ass, so I paid for car repairs myself.
Thankfully, now it's over. I'm back in school and finally getting a break. It's my last semester. I'm graduating in December. I'm alternately freaking out over it and not giving a crap about it. My mother is no help because all she can go on about is how her baby is graduating with two degrees and pressuring me into walking in graduation so she can watch. I don't want to be forced to shake the hand of the asshole who became president of the university and I don't want to spend six hours in the cold for 30 seconds of satisfaction. I'm gonna have to do it though, because if I don't I'll never hear the end of it until one of us dies, especially around the time my brother graduates.
On a related note, my brother started college this fall. He followed me up here. Even majored in the same thing, kind of, for now at least. (He hasn't settled, but he has some time to decide.) I don't like it really. I've been told this makes me a bad sister, but it really isn't anything against my brother. He's a tooly pain in the ass, but I love him and for the most part he isn't bad to have around. My problem is that for four years this has become my home and having him here is like having my hometown (which I can't stand) invade. I'm a small town girl and being in here has made me feel more free as a person and going back is just suffocating me anymore. It's not my brother, or my family, or my friends...it's my own neurosis. If that makes sense. I hope it does.
On fandom related notes: YAY FOR NEW SEASONS!!!
- I just got to see the summer series of Top Gear and fucking loved it! If I were to start going on about it I would never stop, so I'll cut it off here before you all ignore me like my roommate did.
- The end of the fourth season of Doctor Who was wonderful and tragic. I laughed, I squeed, I cried. (And was slightly sad the Master didn't show. I should know better than to get my hopes up.)
- I just found out the Torchwood was, for sure, having a third season. I bawled at the end of season two, but I'm intrigued to see what they'll do for the third.
- I love my friend JD with all of my heart, (Dearly, but not queerly. As we say.) but I wish I hadn't let her talk about Heroes. I was steering clear of the sites to avoid spoilers, but she couldn't and she was spazzing over wanting to tell me, so I let her. So instead of having the suspense, I already know who shot Nathan Petrelli. I've also been informed of something about Sylar, that I'm not quite sure I believe...or fully understand. However, go Mohinder go!
- Chuck is coming back! Zachary Levi is so adorable when he's dorky. If I'm lucky, Adam Baldwin will be missing more clothing this season. Oo! I read somewhere that there is the possibility of a guy/guy kiss this season. I don't know who it's supposed to be, but I've reason to suspect it's Chuck and Casey. (Again, avoiding spoilers. I like good surprises.)
- The US version of Life on Mars hits the small screen on October 9th at 10pm. I can't wait to see it, but I bet I'll hate it. I might actually have to leave anime club early to catch it. I'm feeling very apprehensive about it. It just won't be the same. I bet I spend the whole thing comparing it to the UK version and it will fall horribly short.
In fic news, I'm hoping to get my creative muse back soon. I've been too worn out this summer to even really think. I have some things in the works, though.
- I started a genderswitch Death Note fic months ago, which I'm hoping finish. It features girl!Mello, oblivious!Matt, and eyerolling!Near.
- I'm trying to plan the sequel to my genderswitch Heroes fic.
- I have porn for my Torchwood/Doctor Who fic Uniforms in the works. Finger-crossed, I hope it works out.
- I have an idea for a multi-chapter crossover fic, but I'm a bit unsure about the premise. It's Life on Mars/Doctor/Torchwood (Real original, I know. :/). The idea is that the Master survived and is now in 1973 (Also real original, feel free to rag on me). There he finds Romana. Then the Rani shows up. The Torchwood team is pulled back as well. Then the TARDIS brings the Doctor to join the party. Someone is trying to collect Timelords for a sinister world-ending purpose and they're forced to work together to stay alive. Does anyone want to guess why Torchwood is there? I plan for there to be action, drama, romance, confusion, tragedy, explosions, and m-preg at least mentioned. There is conflict in my head right now over Doctor/Master and Gene/Sam(Master). I'd love to bounce it off someone if they're willing.
- Also, I will be taking prompts or requests, I really need to get back into the swing of writing, what with the graphic novel being put on hold over the summer and the creative writing class I'm taking. Feel free to shoot me one.
Good news, methinks: I've decided to quit smoking. Not right now, because I think it would be too much on me because of graduation coming up, my search for graduate schools, and the feeling that my future is hanging in the balance, but after graduation in December. I'll probably become a chronic gum chewer or lollipop sucker to resist the cravings.
There's more I want to talk about (such as the planning of my trip to the UK), but this post is long enough already, I think.
