FNL tonight!
I haven't watched the online version that's been floating around, so I'm not actually spoiled beyond what's been shown in commercials and what was said in the EW fall tv preview, and I am really anxious about NBC's meddling, and the likelihood of them trying to sex the show up to draw a larger audience, and nothing I've heard has reassured me at all.
*deep breath*
I also have a DVR full of other TV to watch - "The Office," "Reaper," "Pushing Daisies," and "Bionic Woman" - and a three-day weekend to do it in.
Mmmm...TV...

I have switched some icons around - I have finally have a Jim/Pam icon (shut up), and I am wondering how long I have to wait to use it, as it is a spoiler for the season premiere.
There are other icons I would like, that contain spoilers.
1. ( spoiler for HeroesCollapse )
2. ( spoiler for SPN, 3.01Collapse )
3. One of Dean's smile at the end of AHBL2 that I can switch out with the one I've got keyworded "a job to do."
Help - in the form of already-made icons, screencaps from which I can attempt to make icons, or pointers to where I can find those things - would be great.

I want to write and I feel all at loose ends. New canon always discombobulates me, as I have to recalibrate what I know and slot new stuff into place etc. Especially after a summer of creating my own fanon, and having to chip away at that to be more congruent with the show (much easier, admittedly, after 4 months of hiatus than after 2-3 years between books or movies, but still kind of unsettling).
Nothing I've got in the works now is especially dependent on actual events, though "20 Hours in America" does deal with Dean's deal, as it were. I think the window to write the story about Mary-as-psykid has closed, though, which makes me sad. I wrote a lot of fic this summer, and I still didn't get to everything I wanted to. It makes me sad and crazy, sometimes, how much I want to write, and given how prolific I am, I can't really follow that up with "and how little I actually write," but that's how I feel sometimes.
Lately, instead of actual ideas for stories, all I've had are cool titles and an idea of how I want stories to feel, emotionally. Sometimes, that's enough, but sometimes, it makes it really hard to write, because I have no idea what should happen, even when what happens is secondary to what it makes the characters - and, hopefully, the readers - feel, it's still the vehicle for delivering that emotion, and thus, I have to have some idea.
Sigh.

Oh god, I'm so tired - I had another Sunday night of not-sleeping-well, stupid Sunday nights, and they always make Monday much harder. Plus, I have three or four mosquito bites I didn't have when I went to sleep last night. Ugh.
I am trying to write and my brain is like day-old banana pudding. Bleh.
This whole thing about having an external plot to drive the action is making me crazy. It's just not how I think, and what I end up with is having to deal with a lot of stuff I don't really care about, so I just want to get over it and get to the good stuff, and that shows in the writing. Meh.
To take a break from the harlequin, I worked on the motel fic, which I love a lot, but which I also have no real idea how to get from here to there, and the main point of it seems to be that Sam yet again realizes how awesome his big brother is. Because there can never be enough of that.
To that end, one of the things I really would like is an icon of Dean - possibly in black and white? I'm not sure - with the text (small but legible, I'd hope) "I'm going to be a fireman when the floods roll back." (or just "a fireman when the floods roll back"). And also possibly one that says, "Death is your gift." I have failed at making such a thing, so I'm throwing myself on the mercy of you lot. I could provide music in payment. I no longer offer fic, mostly because in the past year, my track record of actually writing to request has been abysmal, so I don't want to offer something I'm not going to actually be able to pony up.
The other thing I would really like right now is a nap. Sadly, I still have two hours left before I can go home. Sigh.
