It's a good thing I don't actually have any authority at work, b/c I fired EVERYONE today. Fuckers. I mean, really, how hard is it to DO YOUR FUCKING JOB? Too hard, apparently, idek. *sigh* Also, tomorrow we're releasing info on a new program we're offering, but none of us have access to the website where we can look up the details of the benefits. That's some awesome planning on the part of our company, huh?

I have all my holiday cards (check this post) ready to go. Not because I'm an overachiever, but because I'd like to get them mailed off before the move on Friday. My holiday packages for my soldiers will go out at the end of next week. Just fyi, if you send me something for the holidays, you can use my current address. If you need it, let me know. I'll give yall my new address after the holidays.

Tomorrow is someone special's birthday! Two Three special someones! [livejournal.com profile] mimiheart, [livejournal.com profile] irisgirl12000, and [livejournal.com profile] irisgirl12000's sister! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Um, there was something else I was gonna say, but I'm gonna go crawl in bed with my heating pad. I can barely move today, my back hurts so much. I really don't wanna think about how I'm going to feel on Sunday...

Can yall do me a favor? Check out this post from [livejournal.com profile] pecos and go leave something happy and cheerful for her brother? Please and thank you!

There is, as always, a growing list of things I wanna say to yall and don't have the time or appropriate internet access to be able to do it. And I know yall are tired of hearing me whine. Poor me.

[livejournal.com profile] irisgirl12000 was telling me an awesome story of GK-characters in a Robin Hood Prince of Thieves AU with Brad as Maid Marion. Tell me that's not awesome. :)

The only fic I've read in a while was a. Brad/Ray this weekend, and I really enjoyed it. I'll find the link if you're interested.

I'm really liking The Walking Dead, but am content to discuss it offline (my brother + several of my friends are watching), since [livejournal.com profile] shutyourface doesn't like the Z word.

Castle is my favorite thing on TV right now, I'm watching Criminal Minds b/c Reid & Morgan & Garcia will never not make me happy, I'm voting for Brandy & Maks on DWTS ("Stars with the Dancing!", as my kid calls it) b/c I like Maks (and Anna, but she & Kurt are my second choice, I think), I missed the most recent ep of SPN but Sammy is pissing me off and I still am not impressed with the idea of S6 even though we're halfway through it, no one is my favorite on Survivor, the dad & daughter team on Amazing Race is my favorite there (I loved the Glee boys before they got eliminated!), and Psych has new episodes starting this week! Also, I saw previews for the upcoming new eps of Leverage, so that's YAY!

I have tix for the midnight show of DH, and plans for meeting up with a group for that. One of you linked to an article/interview with the boy who plays Dudley Dursley, and then Matthew Lewis was tweeting about Tom Felton being on his TV and he tried to call him but Tom has his phone off, and really, all our fandoms are the most adorkable people in them.

Twitter seems to be my only link to the world lately. Brian Schechter, Gabe Saporta, Jason Nott, MGG, Kirsten Vangness, Tom Conrad, and a few others are keeping me quite entertained, even if I can't remember the reasons why off the top of my head. Plus, the pics of Bden (who is still my favorite!) from Halloween and of Stark Sands as Justin Bieber totally made me laugh.

Um, what else... Oh yeah! Best of luck to all of you doing NaNo!

I'm not following the MCR craze. I'm just not feeling it.

My holiday wish list: jeans (I'm down to one pair - I had the worst day at work last Wed b/c I had a hole in the back of my pants and if I pulled my top shirt down to cover it my bra straps would show, and on top of that I started my period. Superblah!), getting to see AI (really, it's so unfair that everyone else has seen it multiple times! *whines*), and books (Pass the Parcel, Dragonsoul, the 3rd book in the Looking Glass Wars series, Jim Butcher's Side Jobs).

Fucking A, I just accidentally erased the rest of what I was gonna say. Stupid crackberry.

G'night, loves, hope yall have an excellent start to your week! <3

Yall, I have pages and pages of stuff in my notebook of stuff that needs to magically be LJ-ized. Several fics, things I wanna tell yall, links I wanna share, all sorts of nonsense. I thought that with my new schedule (which I haven't talked about on here yet) I'd be able to figure something out and get caught up, but it's still kinda crazy here. And with the upcoming move (which I also haven't talked about), not only are things likely to get crazier, but it's looking like I'm not going to be getting a new laptop until after the first of the year. So, baby steps, and I know this is a little early but I'd like to go ahead and take care of it.

[Poll #1634528]

If my crackberry decides to quit being fucktarded, I'll be able to post this.

1. You know those little fics, or even pieces of fic, that just stick with you? Sometime in the last week, I read this fic by [livejournal.com profile] battleofhydaspe and it has stuck. It's Empires fic (I'm pretty sure I associate her name with the other awesome Empires fics I've enjoyed) and you should definitely go read it.

2. Work!Heather bought me a Harry Potter wand for Christmas. It lights up & makes sounds & is motion activated!! Lol. Work!Amy got me a quotes calendar. <3

3. Got a txt message from my brother's wife today that they're pregnant. Actually, I got multiple txts. She's a little excited. I'm gonna have THREE new nieces/nephews in 2010! Isn't that awesome??

4. I wore my smores hoodie to work today & Robbie was like "is that a Clandestine hoodie?" And when I said yes he was like "does that mean you like Fall Out Boy and Cobra Starship?" Um, duh. *g* Then he said he only knows Cobra Starship b/c his wife is obsessed with them, but then we got busy and I didn't get to talk non-work-stuff again with him. I kinda wanna facebook-stalk his wife now though.

5. I made a comment on twitter earlier about Crash being schmoopy (and yes, I did just totally name smush two of my bestest friends!) and then my phone stopped working. Twitter isn't updating, my emails aren't coming through, and txt msgs in/out are sporadic. :(

6. I know RMG is gonna wait til the last possible day to send out W2s. I need my tax refund!! LAPTOP!!

7. My back is less sore today, but my wrists hurt like mad.

8. I uploaded pics of Ronnie's bday party at the science museum & of the snow this weekend if anyone's interested. They're on my facebook - I'm tabbycat6380 on there if you need to find me & friend me. :)

9. I have santa gifts in my storage building & idk if I can get to my storage building b/c of the snow. They didn't plow their lots.

10. I have fics to post for the wip amnesty thingy but I have to be able to get on the actual computer to do so.

I overheard someone today say "Don't be an asshole, asshole," and it made me all <3333 even though they obviously weren't thinking the same thing I was. But it made me think about fanfics that I quote on a regular basis. Obviously, sbp is at the top of that list. Duh. But also on that list is Forever Now (your face isn't how zombies attack!), that Beyond the Sea bbb from last year (we're not shiny anymore, but we're tasty!), the popslash fish fic (LET'S GO EXPLORING!), the one where Justin lays eggs (Clutch? I'm obviously too lazy to go look up proper names and quotes, lol.), and probably a few more that I'm forgetting right now. But the point is, I wanna know what some of your favorite fanfic quotes are and/or where they come from. What say you?

(Also, let me tell you about my hoiday card fail. I just mailed out the last of my cards today, so some of them are going to be late. And I forgot to put my LJ name on them, so I hope yall know my name & my kids' names, otherwise you're gonna be confuzzled.)
why_me_why_not: (heart thought bubble)
I wasn't going to do this, b/c I really don't want anything, but I'm doing it anyway.

Step One

- Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (or friends friends, or just random journals, or [livejournal.com profile] wish_list) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

+ Am being super lazy today. Still in my pjs, playing on the internet. I intended to try and pull together one of the three fics I'm working on, but I played LJ catchup instead. Writing on the desktop is hard, even when I'm just typing up what was written in my notebook or compiling what I've emailed to myself. I miss my laptop.

+ Some of yall already knew this, but since my brothers found out yesterday, now I have permission to tell the internet. Harley's pregnant. She's due April 5th. I've known for a couple months now, so I'm over the biggest part of freaking out. I mean, she's sixteen. She was also on birth control and trying to be responsible. And this family was made for babies, so I'm mostly just excited now. She's at a doctor's appt right now having another sonogram, but when she had one done a few weeks ago, they were thinking she's having a girl. Also, I don't like the father, so I keep calling Johnathan the babydaddy.

+ I want to go to Ohio for a weekend in January and work is stupid and won't let us request time off in January yet.

+ I also want to go to visit [livejournal.com profile] notthequiettype and [livejournal.com profile] reallythateasy in the spring. So that's what my tax money is going to - a trip to CA and a new laptop.

+ I'm not getting gifts for ANYONE other than my kids for Christmas (b/c I'm horribly horribly broke) but if you'd like a Christmas card, we're working on those this weekend. here is the post where I was asking for addresses, if you missed it.

+ [livejournal.com profile] irisgirl12000 wrote me porn this week. Well, technically we cowrote. I need to add that to the list of things I'd like to get posted this weekend.

+ I was telling Tim that I need my BLS recert in a couple months and he suggested the EMT class instead. I had told him that I'd do the EMT class after I got a place of my own again (b/c I was hoping me and the boys would be living out that way, closer to him and the firehouse, by then) but since I don't think I'm moving out now... Anyway, I'm considering it.

+ There are several "all about me" memes going around my flist right now, and I think they're all awesome b/c I love learning things about yall. And I know some of yall are kinda new around my lj and probably want to know things like that about me, but instead of doing one of those actual memes, I'm gonna offer to answer any/all questions you leave in comments. :)
