What's What
So, just thought I'd check in. Share what's new with my life.
1.) New job at the newspaper. I sell ad space, write copy, make coffee, get up at 6 & work till 4. Everyone around town already knows me, so that's easy. The co-workers and boss are good--funny, nice, decent people. I like it.
2.) Passed my new one-year anniversary of my suicide attempt. Still on my meds, though I've gone through four or five different scripts in the meantime. Still, current batch is working fine. Weight gain, but I'm willing to accept that if it means I'm ok. I work out three or four times a week. Feeling good.
3.) Haven't written anything for a looooong time, anything fic-wise I mean. Been mulling over a wee!Luthors fic in the CFMWH universe, maybe something short or maybe a bit longer. Not sure. Also been thinking of (but not doing) another Steve/Bucky fic. I love those two & haven't written them for awhile. Kinda miss 'em, you know?
Which brings me to:
4.) Mainlined the first three seasons of Shameless (US), and I'm halfway through season four now. Gotta say, it's fucking awesome. The characters are great, three-dimensional and compelling. The acting's stellar. What really gets me, of course, is the Mickey/Ian dynamic. What's not for me to love? Abused, in the closet high school drop-out thug hooks up but repeatedly denies he's in love with studly bipolar Army wannabe. It's two teens in love lust that slowly develops into something incredible. "He's fucking family," Mickey says in season four. That's a long way from the, "If you kiss me, I'll bite your fucking tongue out," we saw in season one. These are dirty, poor, desperate, hurty young men & I can't get enough! (I know my weaknesses, and angsty gay boys are definitely near the top of the list.) Give me the fic! Let me write the fic! Anything, just so I can watch these two collide and smooth out each other's edges over and over again. It's great. Highly recommend checking out the show (and the boys)!
