why_me_why_notThings I forgot to say.
+ I figured out how to text and email from my phone. And ignore it when Matt calls. But that's pretty much it.
+ I stole the "make lists with little + signs" from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
irisgirl12000. I figure she's out-of-town, someone on LJ has to do it.
+danacias is tweeting from the Blink concert tonight and I AM SO SUPEREXCITED FOR THURSDAY! Each time her name comes up, I grin like an idiot and get a little more anxious about this week.
+ My job sucks. What else is new? *g*
+ Writing fanfic about fanfic always feels like a weird idea to me. I've never actually done it (except for "borrowing" Mary-Anne from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
notthequiettype's Stars and Sand 'verse, which no longer exists on the internet), but I've thought about it in kinda an abstract daydreamy way, especially with larger verses like Thursday Verse or Forever Now or Timmy Has Two Daddies or Battle of Wills. But this isn't actually about writing fanfic about fanfic. This is me thinking about fanfic for Havemercy and Shadow Magic. I guess maybe it's because Jaida was such a big part of my formative fangirl experience that it feels strange to want fanfic about the world she and Dani created. Even though it's totally a compliment! I totally want to roll around in schmoopy Hal/Royston fic, or read about Rook dealing with the fact that Thom is his brother (and vice versa). And I'm only about halfway through Shadow Magic, but omg I want so much fic about Caius! So much!!! He's quickly becoming one of my all time favorite fictional characters. Also, ADORABLE!
+ We camped out in my brother's backyard last night. 9 kids + 3 adults. Fun times. There were snowcones and s'mores and fireworks and silly stories. It was awesome. But at one point I was trying to get Ronnie's attention and I called him "Spike" and my cousin's son Jayden was like "Why did you call him Spike?" and I said it was his nickname and Jayden was like "does everyone have nicknames?" So I pointed them out: Spike, Stink, Joe Dirt, Haleybear, and Racharee (also known as priss-pot). And Jayden was like, all sad, "we don't have nicknames! Mom sometimes calls me Jay and Alyssa Lys, but not REAL nicknames." I felt kinda bad for him. I guess we have to come up with a nickname for him and Alyssa now.
