[personal profile] why_me_why_not
[livejournal.com profile] why_me_why_not is a complete slacker. Well, not really, but I feel that way. This week has been so crazy at work but at least we are finally, finally caught up.

And I feel so special! The gossip queens at work have nothing better to do than talk about me!! And I find it doubly amusing that, even though everyone knows I don't care, other people feel the need to come back and tell me what's being said. Apparently I'm in love with one of the guys at work -- which is news to me, especially since he's nowhere close to being my type -- and I got a kick out of telling him so after I heard the rumor. *g* Like I said, it was news to me, so I didn't want him to be surprised when he heard it. And apparently the head of the gossip queens doesn't like me b/c I shake my ass when I walk? I have no clue why she was looking at my ass anyway, or how that affects my likeability. And if I do shake my ass, it's not intentional. Unless I'm subconciously dancing to the music in my head. Oh, and did you know that I'm not really bipolar. I say that I am & take my meds every morning b/c I want attention. B/c, you know, someone who is really bipolar wouldn't be so flippant about being crazy. *g*

[livejournal.com profile] anael is going to make sure I finish my [livejournal.com profile] atomic_fiction tonight, and she's gonna beta it for me, b/c she loves me.

[livejournal.com profile] puterpatty is really getting into the Back to Middle Earth Meme, so check out her LJ. I totally wanted to participate in that, and [livejournal.com profile] alliwantisanelf encouraged me (and yes, al, I did watch all three movies last weekend *g*), but I didn't. Obviously. I'm not cool & can't do screencaps or anything like that. But I still may make a rambly post about my history with Middle Earth & why I love it. And I'll finally post the HP/LotR crossover I've owed [livejournal.com profile] irisgirl12000 since December.

Am not going near OWL this weekend. Besides the [livejournal.com profile] atomic_fiction fic and the HP/LotR crossover, I'm almost happy with the next chapter of Garden, which like three of you are reading. And I know how the next chapter is going to go, too.

Okay, I'm going to write. Wish me luck!!

P.S. -- I'm having nightmares about the leopard seal...

Well, Remus can, see, or something... XD not really because I'm planning something different, but Sirius will be thinking of him all night long! *cough* And well, Remus knows I love him so. Torturing is just a way to say I love you, anyway XD

Torturing is just a way to say I love you, anyway

that's either something kinky about you I'm not sure I wanted to know, or it's a good catchphrase that I wanna steal. I'm not sure which yet. *G* What episode are you on, and I'll upload the rest of the season for you?

Date: 2006-03-11 08:02 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] nekare.livejournal.com
Take is a catch phrase, I meant torturing with angst, anyway XD

I'm on episode ten, and I'd be soooo grateful. :)

write your fic dearie. you'll feel better after knowing it's done.

i've been a terrible flister and friend and just haven't felt like writing and ugh. this has not been my month. :-/

From: [identity profile] why-me-why-not.livejournal.com
I feel like I've been neglecting you terribly. I miss you. And I worry about you. I hope school/work/everything else is going okay at the moment. *snuggles*

And you're never a terrible friend. Plus your RL is more hectic than mine right now, I believe.

Is that your keyboard I hear clicking away?

The vq is under control - Miriam and I cleared it, so just Azar's fic isn't Pending or validated. So write, woman!

From: [identity profile] why-me-why-not.livejournal.com
I was writing. Just not my [livejournal.com profile] atomic_fiction fic, which has to go up first. I think it's done now; I have one and a backup -- depends on what de says -- and then I'm gonna get it betad. Then I can post the other two things. *g*

I'm glad the vQ is under control. That's why I'm not going near OWL this weekend, b/c if there is stuff in the vQ, I freak out & have to do something about it. *g*

We're cooking out this evening at my mom's, so I can't post anything until after that. Hope you're having a good weekend though!

*psych you up*

Oohh...what HP/LotR crossover? :-D

I was wondering why you haven't posted yet at [livejournal.com profile] atomic_fiction ^^;;



...and phsaw. That gossip queen sounds like she has a bad case of jealousy. Prolly she noticed that guy you're supposedly in love with checking out your ass when you walk away :-P

*hugz*

LoL. The HP/LotR crossover is a little bit of crack left over from the December game of Truth-or-Dare.

I'm so not happy with my [livejournal.com profile] atomic_fiction. RL killed any chance I have at pretending to be able to write something that's not crap, I believe.

The gossip queen is pissed off b/c I was taught to ship & now I'm shipping usually every day, when she used to be a shipper & isn't now. B/c I do my damn job!! I'm quicker and more efficient than she is. And I worry about getting my job done instead of running my mouth.

As for guy checking out my ass -- I'm not quite sure why anyone would like to check out my ass, but I guess that's entirely possible.

*hugs*

Mine turned from what's supposed to be an established relationship and angsty!Draco into a gen pre-smth sorta and whiny!Draco. AHAHAHAH
(...there probably will be a sequel ^^;;)

*pat pat* I'm sure it's not _that_ bad. Although I know what you mean. [livejournal.com profile] somigliana hated how hers turn out too.

The gossip queen is pissed off b/c I was taught to ship & now I'm shipping usually every day, when she used to be a shipper & isn't now.

I, HP fangirl that I am, translated that sentence into: "She used to be an H/D shipper but the muses have left her. She's jealous that rabid plotbunnies no longer breed in her brain." Ahem. Moving on...

I'm quicker and more efficient than she is. And I worry about getting my job done instead of running my mouth.

Ahh, those type. I run into people every now and then that ask me to "slow down or you'll make the rest of us look bad."
Ignore her. I'm sure she'll get fired one of these days :-P Or demoted.

As for guy checking out my ass -- I'm not quite sure why anyone would like to check out my ass, but I guess that's entirely possible.

Because...he's a heterosexual (presumably) male?
Isn't it smth like automatically staring down a woman's cleavage if her neckline is too low? Maybe? *shrug*

*some more hugs*

From: [identity profile] why-me-why-not.livejournal.com
lol. I wonder if anyone's atomic_fiction pieces turned out the way they were originally intended?

lmao! Totally not that kind of shipping! but it's funnier in that context!

I've actually had someone tell me to exactly that: "slow down or you'll make the rest of us look bad". My response, of course, was "Why don't you speed up and do your work then?"

I don't know that he's heterosexual or not. I don't really care one way or the other. The only thing he and I talk about is the weekly NASCAR pools, the upcoming Carolina League Baseball season, and his dog. But he's the same one I got trapped in the office with a couple weeks back, which contributes the the rumors. But of course, before that, there were several rumors questioning his sexuality b/c he never talks about girls? Gossip is such a funny thing. It's no wonder these people never get their jobs done; they spend all their time making up stories & spreading them around!

Yeah, might be the paid by hour thing. Or smth. Is your work more of: finish # of projects, or spend # of hours?

Maybe gossip queen doesn't understand the art of conversation with guys? :-P

Hm, never talk about girls huh.
Either:
a) He's too respectful of women to treat them as sex objects
b) His taste in women is weird so he doesn't like talking about it
c) He's gay :-D

lol, your workplace sounds quite like a soap opera. Steal their gossips and turn it into fanfic!111elventyone

we're paid by the hour. currently, they track our stats (how many items we pick per hour, the breakdown of how much it costs to ship each package/order per day, etc.) but they don't have a minimum standard that we have to adhere to. Therefore, everyone takes their sweet fucking time, and then my stats go down b/c I'm having to fix their mistakes, clean up after them, and help them out b/c they're all incredibly lazy.

Gossip queen has kids my age, and currently lives with her boyfriend, as well as her ex-husband's father. She's a bit strange.

Never talks about girls -- another possibility is that his personal life is no one's fucking business!! Sorry, but I never talk about guys or girls, or much of anything at all in my personal life b/c no one at work is part of it so it doesn't matter.

There is lots of good gossip at work. It's rather amusing.

O.o What the heck? What were they thinking?

GAH. It's faster to do smth right the first time around then have to fix somebody else's mistake (who can't be bothered to do it properly the first time around) ~_~

Um, okay. Uhh...she envies your youth? Smth like the mother-in-law syndrome, lol.

*nod* I keep school, rl, family, friends, lj all in different compartments. Also because I'm not going to fangirl H/D with non-lj-ers! rotfl

Yay. I'll look it over as soon as the office dies down. I'm at work today. ICK.

Also, I could use another bunny. Nothing as thoroughly thought out as the last one, but someone to bounce ideas with. If you don't mind...

Heh. It's ok, I'll chat with you about it later and mull it over in my overwhelmed mind for now. Have fun. But, if you want to I'm under deliciantasy, as always.

Happy writing, Tabby!

Gossip. *sighs* Workplace buzz has had me involved with my boss for two years. Apparently it is impossible that we get along, enjoy each other's senses of humor (Americans with dry senses of humor = rare; I think that scares people, nay?), and he respect my work unless we're "involved." Bastards.

If someone's watching your ass, I'd take it as a compliment. ;)

Ok, this is me with two chapters to beta and a bunny that just won't go away... Beta first, then write, Ariadne. *gives self stern look*

Workplace gossip is so funny; I can't believe all these people have nothing better to do. And nothing irritates the gossipers more than someone who doesn't care that they're being gossiped about. *g*

Beta & write, Ariadne! Get your fandom priorities straight!
