First off, I apologize for not making any entries that possessed real content for a while. Ooooops. So let's try to make this quick and painless, if possible?
- Got back last Sunday from our family vacation. A week long cruise to Mexico. And for the first time I did not get sick nor did I get injured while on a cruise. MIRACLE. We had a wonderful time and the weather was amazing and Cabo & Puerto Vallarta are beautiful and EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. I need to upload pictures at some point, but until then, just imagine... AWESOMENESS.
- Sometimes I wonder if people are like secretly thinking shit about me like... how can her family afford to go on vacation with all the troubles they had this summer, and blah blah blah. Well. Not that I should have to defend myself to anyone and not that anyone is asking. This vacation was booked in March before anything happened. Plus my mom is good friends with a guy who owns a travel agency so we get like half-price on our cruises and such. Plus... IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. (Leave it to me to be defensive when not necessary.)
- I got a new laptop a little over a month ago. I need to talk about that in a locked entry though because... I AM NOT
CASSIE CLAIRE. AND THINGS ARE CONFUSING WHEN I TRY TO TALK ABOUT IT OR BE GRATEFUL OR WHATEVER. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO THINGS LIKE A NORMAL PERSON SHOULD. So I will just say here in an unlocked entry that my new laptop (named Raylan) is really fucking awesome. My old laptop (named Big Tuna) used to be awesome but then I had to start running it without a battery. And everything would randomly shut down. And I couldn't use the DVD drive. And if I blinked at it the wrong way, it would shut down. And the cord was taped to the side of it with electrical tape. It was a mess. Obviously, I needed a new one. And now I have Raylan. And he is the beeeeeeeeest.
- I almost named it something P&R related because my Nook is named Leslie Knooke. But I didn't.
- My favorite cousin is coming to visit for a week. Which means she'll be here for Thanksgiving. Which is awesome. Because she's my favorite. And also, I don't have to cook this year so I get to be super lazy.
- We're now at the time of year where I bite off more than I can chew. Fandom wise. We have Yuletide. Then Saturnalia at
sheldon_penny. And as usual, even though I was given multiple prompts to choose from, I chose the prompt that makes me want to write a fic of around 20k words. HA. WHATEVER. IT WAS THE BEST PROMPT AND I AM NEARLY PISSING MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT THAT I GET TO WRITE IT. I DO WHAT I WANT. I'm also collaborating on Justified fic with
deathgetsusall. And writing the sequel to my BBBB from this year. And finishing the 934 fics I owe people from the charity auctions. (That number may be an exaggeration.) I GOT THIS GUYS. IT'S UNDER CONTROL. But if one day I ask everyone to leave me alone so I can go bury myself in a hole with only my laptop, no internet and a small light source, then you'll know why.
- Speaking of fandom... in case I haven't promoted it enough on Twitter and Tumblr...
nolan_emily is now a thing. Along with
fyeahnolanemily. That'd be Nolan and Emily from Revenge. So. Join that. And I plan to update my
locked Revenge post tonight or tomorrow if anyone wants to start the show or catch up. JUST SAYING.
- I guess that's it? I should have more to say considering I haven't really posted much lately. But. Here it is.
