i have girl scout cookies for me, and a meme for you :D
what does it say about me that every time someone wants to read my nanonovel, my first reaction is "OH GOD WHAT IF THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED"? because that's my immediate reaction now. look, i never said i wasn't insecure. and i am fully aware of how first-drafty the nanonovel is.
there were girl scouts out and about today, so i bought a box of peanutbutter patties to go with the thin mints in my freezer. yum. i had a brief chat with the girl scouts selling them, too. girl scouts are adorable.
and i pimped saga to a girl in the comic shop! (excellent scifi/fantasy mashup(ish) comic written by brian k vaughan and drawn by fiona staples. it's got this vast space-opera-y scope and a million random characters and it's really just about a man and a woman and their kid. i really, really like it.) she said she was waiting to see if the library was going to buy the first trade. i said that was a good plan, and also suggested asking for it for a gift-giving occasion. so it was totally a day of (successful!) talking to strangers.
i was going to do the "first line of the first fic of each month" meme but there are a bunch of months where there was no fic, and that's not useful for anyone. and i might write something tomorrow or monday, you never know!
so instead i shall do the "first line of the first post for each month" meme. with added subject headings because they make me giggle.
january
there's a fandom snowflake challenge and a thirty days of current project meme and i'm pretty sure there was another ongoing fic meme but now i can't remember what it was. (so many writing memes, so little actual writing to meme... plus the yearly fic roundup)
february
can someone summarize for me what happened on spn on friday? (it seems a safe bet that someone watched it...)
march
it was snowing before and i might have done a chair dance but no one can prove anything. (also there's all this email backing up in the inbox)
april
happy birthday ephemera, my sweetpea and my battybrain. (unrelatedly, i just ate and i'm still hungry!)
may
happy slightly late birthday to betra, sharer of mark morford articles and one of my favorite new jerseyans. (psa, lots of poems )
june
dear color printer:
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY NEED ME TO REPLACE THE CYAN INK CARTRIDGE ALREADY? (ugh, mondays. the sun isn't even out, either.)
july
happy birthday, canada! (it was a weekend of family and baking and also holy fucking shit it's still hot)
august
it is now pouring rain and my umbrella is in my car and all the windows in my house are open. (i am facepalming at myself a bit here)
september
as it is now officially wednesday, i can wish fleurrochard a happy birthday. (no job, but there's tv)
october
i'll tell you why i'm still watching revolution. (you wanna know why i'm still watching revolution?)
november
pumpkin cookies on my profile page! (naked carjacking. it's the worst kind.)
december
...i have just asked twitter what i should have for dinner. (someday i will make a post ALL ABOUT THE NANONOVEL. this is not that post.)
in other news that isn't really news, there are some exceptionally attractive pictures of tom hiddleston on tumblr.
man, i had plans for tonight, and yes those plans were "order chinese food and rewatch some justified s1", and it's not too late for either, but i was hoping to get started before now.
