Ack! Where's My Winchester?

[researchgrrrl]

Dammit. So, yesterday, I wound up not getting home until about 7pm. I fell asleep at approximately 7:20pm. I woke up a few minutes before midnight. I stayed up until about 3am. I fell back asleep until about 5am. I had lots of coffee and the most spectacularly silly morning with Mason. I left the apartment around 7am for work. I stopped at

*smirks* Your life is not like other lives, is it?

OH MY FUCKING CHRIST SHUT THE FUCKING FUCK UP WHILE I'M HAVING TO DELVE INTO QUANTUM THEORY AND PARTICLE PHYSICS TO CONVINCE THE FUCKING DISPATCHER OF MY ACTUAL WHEREABOUTS AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT IN THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM

*nods placidly* When I lived rural, it was pretty much a course of charting the movements of the stars to explain where we lived, since apparently, road names and such just aren't good enough. You have my sympathy.

Though really, if you want more, you're going to have to try and be less funny so I don't hope more terrible inconvenient things occur in the hopes that you will write about them later.

OH MY GOD YES. That was very much a part of the fantastic experience this morning. "Here, let me just pull these planispheric and mariner's astrolabes out of my ass where I handily tucked them when I couldn't find any benoit balls that felt right for my advanced level of scientific knowledge and see if I can't help you grasp the concept that I'm pretty much standing across the street from your fucking office and if you looked out the window, you could probably see me trying to find something to use to beat my coworker to death with just as soon as I persuade you that, no, in fact, a random number generator is not the way to go when entering my membership number, current address, and contact number."

Not that I'm bitter.

heh. and hee.

I am most decidedly *not* laughing at your attempts to wrangle a ride out of AAA because that would be laughing at your pain, and I don't do that. And you know that they're talking smack about the crazy lady on the other end of the line when they put you on hold. (Oh, c'mon. I can't be the only one they do that to.)

This is going to be the third in the Jack series, isn't it? John gets the pix while dealing with this call?

Doooooo it...

I'm glad that, prior to that, you had a great morning! Happy Thursday!

Re: heh. and hee.

[researchgrrrl]

Oh, man. I was gonna stop with Sammy's saga in "Jumpin' Jack Flash" but now? John Winchester is marked for Certain Doom in "Born to Run."

IT IS SO ON.

Please see here for the rest of what I have to say on the matter of my conversation with the AAA dispatcher.

you're so good to me.

[margeauxmay]

Yay! *settles in to wait for the crack*
You can even Mary Sue yourself in there again.
Er, I mean, for once.
You know what I mean.
*EI yes/no gesture*

Oh, and Valium dispensers in the office? Brilliant idea. Hook a sister up.

Re: you're so good to me.

[researchgrrrl]

You can even Mary Sue yourself in there again.

*eyes you*

Baby, I know where you live and what you look like. Don't think for a moment that there isn't a Roller Derby babe with some sweet ink in "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Not all the EI you could wear on your head can save you now.

I'll show you some "so good" to you.

And, hell, yeah, I'm praying for the Valium dispenser to arrive today.

*hugs* Sorry about your car. Seems like it will be a pretty easy fix though. Guys are silly sometimes... I think we've all experienced this sort of thing before... *yawn* why don't they just give it up? heh.

Tow-truck drivers are crazy.... when my car was wrecked it took them a whole extra hour for them to tow my car to my mom's house, and they left before the taxi I was in left. And then charged a fortune but when they have your car you have to pay them.

[researchgrrrl]

Fortunately, the problem turned out to be far less dramatic than the attempt to get the damned car towed. But still...men. Sheesh.

Sorry I flaked on getting comments to you last night. I crashed hard and didn't go near the computer again until my rant this morning. You did a cute job with the "gotcha" moment, though. I didn't see that coming. Hee! I'll drop you a line later. Cheers!

[missravenx]

That's alright, I read this post. ;)

I've added and changed it up a bit since the version I sent you. It's still not even close to done. But I appreciate knowing I'm not completely slaughtering the characters. ;)

[researchgrrrl]

Well, then, send on the new version, girly-o! I look forward to it. ;)

[marinarusalka]

I giggle at feel your pain. Here's hoping your car gets delivered to the appropriate space-time continuum.

[researchgrrrl]

I really only planned to write the one companion piece to "Night Moves." But as of today, my friend, in addition to Sam's "Jumpin' Jack Flash," I'm taking on John Winchester in "Born to Run." Nnnnghh.

Oh, John. I was writing your dialogue before I ever even hung up the phone on that AAA dispatcher and had to talk Neil down from his testosterone high because he was Helping a Woman! With Car Problems! Who Could Talk Cars, Too! YAAAAY!

...You know John is most entirely doomed now, right?

[researchgrrrl]

Oh, baby. Consider him totally gotten. *crazy eyes*

[researchgrrrl]

Believe it or not, I'm finally back to working on it, although there's a tiny blind spot where I can feel I know a piece needs to be but I just can't make it out yet.

I'm actually mortified to realize how much time has lapsed since I posted that, especially because so many people (*guilty look at you*) took the chance on reccing a WIP.

I want that story done, though, and done soon. I've known how it would end and what the Twitch (coda) would be from the start and those? Are well worth writing toward.

Plus? Auto. Annoying the crap out of House. And macking on Cuddy. Most charming thing ever, IMO, and I shouldn't keep it to myself.
