Lately.



I have so much to say, you guys. So much.

* Broke my glasses at about 8:36 Sunday morning. I was pretty pissed off about that. It was just a shitty way to start the day, even though it was totally my fault. I have a habit of sleeping with my glasses under my pillow because I fall asleep watching TV most nights. This isn't usually a problem, but they must've migrated while I was sleeping (and dreaming about the exact conversation I'd had previously with 1001cranes). I wake up, glasses somehow end up under my elbow. Plastic frames, "snap." So until I can get new frames, I can't see much clearly unless I can touch it with the flat of my palm. Whoo! /o\ This picture is exactly how most things look to me right now.

* I'm not going to go into detail about this right now, but I'm really shitty at being in business for myself. Mainly because I forget to do things like, oh, I don't know... collect money from the people I've done work for. -_- Jesus, I'm lucky I work for nice people.

* I'm writing fic, lots of it. But I've got this intense fear that it's all crap and no one will want to read it and just. Meh. Things I shouldn't care much about regarding fanfic. I got it in my head to write girl!patrick fic which. Hah. See, I love the idea of it. Like, seriously, I love the idea of it, of her. But I'm totally afraid it's going to come out sappy and gross and thus not live up to any of the expectations I have for it. I don't mind it being an inevitably happy(-ish, or at least hopeful) story, but I want it to be kind of, well, realistic. Blah.

Speaking of, I have a poll question!


Poll #1402102 the name game

what would you name girl!Patrick?

Trish, short for Patricia! It's easier, and Patricia is just the female form of Patrick, anyway.
2(28.6%)
Something with a 'p', but not Patricia because that's Patrick's mom's name
4(57.1%)
Something else entirely, and just specify that it's still, underneath it all, a story about girl!Patrick.
1(14.3%)
Don't, M. Just... don't write this. Abandon ship! This can't end well.
0(0.0%)


I've been wondering about this. I've also got a rambly thoughy-like thing about genderswap as a writing genre that I may post. So, you know, watch out for that.

* And while I'm in the vein of fannish things, I have other fandom interests outside of bandom! The problem is, it's all TV shows. I haven't read fic for a TV show since The Black Donnelly's, you guys. (This is what it looks like when I hold a grudge. I wrote, like, five ficlets in about three days for that show and it got cancelled! It's like bad shit happens to the things that make me happy) So, I have interests, but I never do the episode review thing (I'm just not so much with the articulating my squee in a way anyone would care about) and I'm afraid to read fic because, well. Ok, if I'm being blunt? I'm afraid it's all going to suck, and I love these shows too much the chance it. (Lie To Me, peeps, I'm looking at you.)


/confession

I feel like a bitch for saying that, but it's true.

Geez. This isn't even a third of what I wanted to talk about, but I've bored you enough so... yeah. Going to go sit about three feet from the TV like the 4 year old my blindness has reduced me to being.
