I defy your title requirement. So there.
You know how much the rest of this week kind of sucked? That's how much right now doesn't.
Otherwise:
1. Turns out I'm shortlisted for the program I really, really want for this summer. Considering I fully expected to be hearing "Get lost, kid," that's a pretty awesome thing. I'm still not anticipating getting it (for a bunch of reasons), but damn is it nice to feel competitive. Just a little over a year ago today, I was feeling thoroughly rejected and not a little terrified. So yeah. Still can't quite believe how good life is, in the grand scheme of things. I get bogged down now and then, but overall, I'm a stupidly happy camper.
2. The new neighbors moved in today. They seem very nice, if a bit freaked out by the driveway situation. (In all fairness, it could currently double as a rink for a very small hockey team.) They called the landlord over to apply salt, which never would have occurred to me. I think I am an oddity; I'm used to growing up with the attitude "If it breaks, you fix it. If you can't, you hold the flashlight while Dad does." I don't know how to be dependent on someone else for the little things. I told the last landlord the tub needed work and asked if he minded if I fixed it, and I thought he was going to fall over in surprise. *shrug*
3. Speaking of landlords... I brought up the idea of washer/dryer installation with the new guy, and he made interested sounds. We'll see. It would make my domestic world just about perfect.
4. We have a star in our midst. Wyatt visited school for an event this week and wound up mugging for the school paper's cameras. Total ham, folks. *headshake* I had to get extra copies of the next day's edition for my parents, who're inordinately proud of their boy. Hee.
5. I have actual plans for tomorrow. I am going to venture forth to a Superbowl party like a social human being. Don't anybody faint or anything. *g*
Fannish stuff:
1. I wrote something! I finished something, even! Whee! Frankly, I'm a little disturbed by
sga_flashfic these days. They seem to be reading my mind, and it's freaking me out. The first section of Weathered has been sitting on my desktop for the last month, waiting for the rest of the story. Now, the new challenge fits in scarily well with the bit of whatever that mobbed me last weekend. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Finishing things! Me! Whee!
2. The TV gods have smiled on us this week, right? OMG, SGA. Just... *flails* I might get around to saying more than that, if I can get myself off the ceiling any time soon. And Supernatural! Hi, boys, hi! Long time, no see. I missed you. Psych was light and fun, and I've still got Torchwood on tap. *happy sigh*
3.
aesc is an evil enabler. I am going to flunk neuroanatomy because of her. I'm going to have an insane amount of fun doing it, though, if the plotting going on is any indication. Why have I never written an AU before? It's scarily addicting.
Also:
If you haven't yet, go read
20thcenturyvole's new SGA piece, Wet. It's lovely and sweet and so damned good I dare you not to smile. It's a tiny little glimpse of everything that's best about our show, and everything we love about our team. And it's for me! Mwahaha!
