Okay, I'm getting ready to go to bed. Text me if you want me. :)

( By the time they're close enough to see the flashing lights, the smoke, and the chaos, Tom's already pretty close to freaking out. )

Omg, I don't even know where to START with this day!

So, downsides of the day include having to work my shitty job (I told Teresa today that I didn't make all the sacrifices I did over the last year and a half just to end up in a job where not only am I seeing my kids for less than an hour a day, but my med schedule is being fucked with, so she shouldn't plan on me taking the job seriously. It's totally temporary), the fucking humidity, taking my ring off last night and forgetting to put it back on this morning so I freaked out all day not having it to fidget with, shutyourface's phone was being stupid, and... okay, so it was actually an awesome day, so I can't even think of any more downsides!

I guess I'll start at the beginning.

reallythateasy is so awesome and she started telling me the CUTEST Bob/Frank story last night and she kept me entertained with it throughout the day. I <3 her.

Then when I took lunch, there was a multitude of awesomeness waiting for me: a voicemail from someone about a Real Job -- I have an interview in the morning! -- that I had just applied for and some little band called The Used (yall may have heard of them?) POSTED US TOUR DATES! Which, obviously, resulted in much grinning and giddiness and checking tour dates and the calendar and such.

Cue me smiling insanely for the rest of the afternoon.

THEN. On my last break I had a voicemail from ANOTHER job that I've applied for, with info about coming in to take assessment testing. SCORE! Plus, my Daddy ended up calling while I was on break, and he's back in town and told me to come by tomorrow after work for money and veggies.

And then I came home to catch most of Secret Life and spend some time checking airfare and whatnot. And looking at OLD pictures with Mom. And then watched Raising the Bar and went to Walmart. I have a shirt! Tomorrow, I will have a Team Zack shirt!

OH! And danacias's tweets made me stupidly excitedly happy for the second night in a row. I'm kinda ridiculous about that Brendon kid.

Here is my decision on The Used. As much as I want to go to LA to see them (seriously, my friends are the best friends), that show is in the middle of the week. The Houston show is on a Friday, and thus much more easily workable schedule wise. But I WANNA GO TO LA! Seriously, I'm gonna go crash Crash's life (Crys + Ash = CRASH *g*) for like a full week after the first of the year. IT'S MY MISSION! But yeah, The Used in Texas. :) I even remembered to ask irisgirl12000 if I can stay with her! Of course, it was after I already started comparing ticket prices, lol, but it's totally the thought that counts!

I AM SO HAPPY TONIGHT, YALL! *group hugs*

So, fic? This is a belated birthday ficlet for novalinedy, who is sweet and awesome and deserves lots of happy. Actually, I'm gonna post her a ficlet AND a snippet from the Empires!werewolves 'verse, because she's a Tomrad fan and because I feel bad for being so slacktastic about posting her birthday ficlet.

novalinedy wanted something out of the Perception 'verse, maybe how Shane and Tom met, so this is what she gets. Thanks to reallythateasy and shutyourface for reading it over for me.

( Tom was trying to find a place to hide from Brendon’s grabby hands... )

And a snippet of werewolf!Empires:

( Ryan's the one that always ends up with the accidental marks, but Sean's the one who ends up with the intentional ones. )
