There are some lessons they don't teach you in college.
THIS INTERNSHIP IS KILLING MY BRAIN. AND FORCING ME TO TYPE LOUDLY.
Not really. I mean, yes really to the first, not so much to the second. I've only done three hours of work today and I want to stab out my eyeballs. Gah. Seriously? It would help if I didn't dislike the woman in charge with the greatest dislike I muster. It would help if someone would cooperate and contact me. It would help if I wasn't still bitter about that $100 late fee. Me, paying them, for my labor! And it's not even fun writing... it's all grunt work. It's not even the work that bothers me, because I love researching and learning about historical times. The big, stinking problem is... the internship.
I don't know. I shouldn't hate it so much, but between my dislike for my boss-lady/grader/nincompoop instructer, a lingering unhappiness about how very much it costs to write something that benefits the school, and a growing frustration over the fact that I need people to talk back to me to get this done, it's... glaaaaaah. I can't even start on the blessed paper until I finish the work, and I can't do the work until I hear back from one woman and interview the other on Monday, and everything's due the Saturday after next and glaaaaaah.
I want to play. This is stupid.
Although I have learned that sheer stubbornness isn't enough to get a project done. No one told me this! It's new! But no matter how badly I want to slam through everything I can possibly do in one night, my brain always, always starts shutting down after about two and a half hours of research and writing. Like clockwork. I've tried to plow right on through that stop point, but all that does is frustrate me. Ergo, lesson: When your brain stops, stop. Come back later.
I have hit that stop point, my head hurts, and I'm going to take a nap and come back for another fun-filled two and a half hours.

Meanwhile, here's a lovely little meme stolen from neko142001 . I can't say how quick I'll be to answer, but answer I will. In fact, I'll probably answer so thoroughly that you'll hate me. :3
Comment here with one (or more) of your character's names and one (or more) of my character's names (list is below) and I'll leave you a block of text on how that character feels about yours. Even if our characters haven't met yet, I'll still write something for them.
Although, really... there's a lot more to write about when a relationship is established. ^^ My characters can be any of the following (and I love the idea of saying what I think a character would think of another, even if they haven't met or one of the characters isn't on the roleplaying scene, so go wild). Oh! And if they know each other in canon but you would prefer the character's thoughts from, say, a point in Poly or a hypothetical after-canon meeting, just say so.

Please help me procrastinate. Procrastination is the only thing keeping me sane.
