I went shopping today for paper towels and some sort of antihistamine that isn't Benedryl, and got into one of those moods. Y'know? The kind of mood where you wander, zombie-like, through the isles, fluorescent lights making you dizzy and disoriented until you end up with two packs of bubble gum, a copy of Fargo (on sale), and a nutcracker painted like a Mountie.

Pete hums along, nodding.
“We should perform it naked,” he says, a second later, tugging at his shirt. Liking the idea on a personal level right now; now when the world seems to be squeezing in on him, all bright and jagged.
Where the HELL am I going with that? And why can't I write NBA porn? I'm getting behind the story in my head and eventually I'm just going to get lost.
Whatever.
It's a little bit late, but how fucking cool was Supernatural last week? I mean,
LINDA FUCKING BLAIR, right? Her voice alone is worth the lack of the Impala.
Three random things:
1) My favorite smell is a mandarin orange scented candle right now.
2) My brother's crush on Davey Havok is becoming embarrassing.
3) VEGAS AND PANIC! AND
grammar_glamour IN LESS THAN A MONTH! So, for those two of you on my flist who are in the bandom with me and know anyone who's going to Vegas too and might want to hang out and get fucked up and be inappropriate, let me know.
