I have been a rather busy little bee today in spite of my 4am wake-up call by some stoopid kid (my guess is around age 12-14) thinking I was their mom. I mean seriously... when I said 'sorry hun I'm not your mom' they said 'yes you are stop playing around mom'. Like someone's mom would be playing around when their kid called them at 4am just to say hi. WTF!?! Hmmm what did I do today? picked up around the living room and moved furniture so I could vac and then shampoo the carpets. Did as much as I could get to considering the stoopid furniture in this house is impossible to move. But hey it looks a bit nicer. Can't tell if it smells better. :p I hope so. Had tons of calls today. Most shocking off all was
apathy_io! Haven't talked to her on the phone in ages. Mum called a couple times and while our convo was productive on some levels it once again just heaped more stress on me. But I'm not gonna let it bug me too much.
I finished my bio for my pirate character I was making for The Pearl Chronicles. So now I've got my not-so-proper gentlewoman and my really improper pirate chick. I'm just waiting to see who says something about who I am using as my avatar. It'll be amusing to smart-ass at anyone who knows she's a porn star and I picked her because she was a pirate in that very famous and heavily awarded porn flick called
Pirates. I daresay it won't be any of the other female players. *snicker* And yes all you curious perverts I have seen it... and you can be damned if you find it offensive I am using a pornstar for the avatar. At least she has spiffy pirate clothes and totally fit the character I had in mind (well except I'd have prefered someone with dark hair) for looks.
So I made a handful of posts today. All but one of them decently long by my standards. It felt so very good and it's nice to have a good thick plot beginning once more (thank you Lysander!). Might be a few days before I make any attempt to put Victoria into anything until I find anyone to run a story with... maybe even wait until I see Dead Man's Chest. I wasn't 100% sure if it was safe to assume that the events of Curse of the Black Pearl were considered to have all happened or not so hopefully Rachel's perspective I gave on what happened wasn't too out of kilter with the premise. Be nice to see DMC already so I'd know what happens there. What little I do know thanks to Newsweek's JD article (thanks for posting that for me Queeny!) I used to kind of help me figure the one event I didn't want to counter. Will have to sit down with the masters behind TPC after I've seen DMC (and they have of course) and see what is safe for my character to assume. I had sort of hoped to have some sort of association between Elizabeth (as much as I dislike the character) and Rachel because they have a few things in common and I don't see anyone else who would be a friend to Rachel. We shall see I guess. Felt good posting Jeremy to Blood Feud again. I dunno what it is about him that I enjoy. Perhaps he is a facet of myself I don't show people much. He's got two very distinct sides though... one being the cocky, arrogant slightly slutty side that he uses as a shield to hide his vulnerabilities from others and then that vulernable side... he's devoted, loyal, a little obsessive, almost shy and he's even a little optimistic underneath it all. I guess maybe those qualities really don't apply to me exactly but I know I work in a somewhat similar way.
Okay well anyway I'm kinda rambling about nothing that matters really lol. I'm starting to really feel tired in spite of it not even being midnight. Think I'll chug my Sleepytime tea, brush my teeth and go read a little before I crash out. Got way through AFFOC last night. Not enough to finish it if I read tonight but pounding through it a little fast. I dare not mention any spoilers since I know
mtmontage is not reading yet. It's pretty good so far though! I can safely say that. I missed Jenks way too much.
Well fuck here I am trying to finish this entry and my mom just called. *sigh* Oh fucking joy. *sigh, sigh, sigh*
