I've been having one of those weekends where I find my family completely insufferable, but am unable to get away from them for the amount of time that it would take to stop them from annoying the fuck out of me. Of course I can't say "I find you all annoying as hell, so please leave me alone" so it's just a matter of time before I explode, probably. Unless I can manage to get out of the house somehow. Ugh.
It's about time to start Christmas shopping, unfortunately. Because there isn't any shopping in this town, I need to do most of it online, and because of shipping and whatnot it's best to start it in October. I really, really hate this stuff, though. Well, I hate Christmas in general, but the whole gift thing is the worst. I hate getting gifts, I hate giving gifts, I hate the whole "let's waste money on buying each other expensive things that we neither need nor want because we are obligated to do so". Just, ugh. Well, hopefully I'll get this all taken care of soon.
On a more positive note, I broke 14k on the fic I've been working on, which makes it undeniably my longest fic to date. Now, hopefully I'll be able to finish it, though that will take a while. It's very exciting, though - in some ways I'm in uncharted territory here. Writing something with 1. something resembling plot and 2. a lot of characters that I don't actually know how to write and 3. it's going to be very long. I just wish it had a more action-centric plot rather than a romance plot... but I'm still learning how to actually do long stories, so it's all right, I guess.
...Man, I had so many things that I wanted to talk about, but now I can't remember what any of them were. It doesn't help that I've been grumpy as hell all weekend. :|a
