sloooow work day

[lotus0kid]

But productive in a completely pointless way, like hand-writing most of another scene of the auction fic, and discovering awesome websites, such as:

fuckyeahfanficflamingo. My favorite so far:



Ohohoho funny cuz it's true. *recalls purchase of 300+-page hardback circus encyclopedia...*

Also, Dear Blank, Please Blank. One hilarious example:

Dear Mario,
Bowser has kidnapped your girlfriend at least 10 times. Why in the world do you keep inviting him to go go-carting with you guys?
Sincerely,
what the heck man?

Anyway, must be off. Cleaning my apartment so my mom, my sister, and I can pretend I'm not a slob when they get here. Maybe I'll MacGuyver a way to keep the nephew from opening all the low drawers and cabinets full of yummy cleaning supplies.

Hah, I feel that one. I'll admit to a fondness for Fanfic Manatee, just because I like manatees. Like this one.

Good luck cleaning up! I have to do that tomorrow, but today, eh, still in pain, now have an excuse not to.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

XD I thought you might. I like the ones about giving sixty-three pages of backstory to a character that's in two episodes. Oh man, that song one is perfect. Ohhh dear.

Well, it went okay, unless I'm forgetting something I meant to do (likely). Have you heard from the doctor about your tests?

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

I love all those meme things. Heee, yes, I feel that one as well.

I'm sure you did great. Probably better than my room will look even after I work on it tomorrow. Well, it was kind of a roller coaster; I got a phone call around 9am telling me that I had a high white blood cell count, so she was concerned that I had some kind of infection; I went and got an x-ray around noon, which is always fun; and then there wasn't anything wrong based on that (ie, no infection) so she's thinking herniated disc, but she wants me to get an MRI to make sure, and also because there doesn't seem to be any kind of cause for it, so. I'm doing the MRI on Wednesday.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Heh, I think this one's more my problem.

Oy, yeah, that sounds frustrating. Well, no infection is good. And hopefully the MRI will help figure the rest out.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes, that...that is my problem too.

A little frustrating, but I'm getting some pills so that'll hopefully help.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, been there.

That's good. I'm sure they'll figure it out soon.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

I have totally done that. And that is my life.

*sigh* I hope.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Heh, well, I'd say that's a "without sin, cast the first stone" situation, but I definitely wince at "cannon" when no heavy artillery is being fired. Ohhh, mine too.

It'll be okay. Hey, you know what? I used your "It's like Las Vegas without the class" line the other day- got a big laugh. :)

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

*snort* There's definitely one on there that is like "Cannon? No. Canon." Or something funnier. I kind of miss those days. Now I don't even have homework to avoid.

Hah, I don't even remember what that was about. Was that Blackpool?

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I didn't feel like looking it up. Heh, I didn't have that problem so much, but I would lie awake thinking about something fic-related, and often end up rolling out of bed around 1am to scribble an idea down so I wouldn't forget.

Yup. In the interview with artist!Claude. We were talking about Miami.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Oh, I totally had that problem. One last one, that best describes me.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I feel bad for ragging on Blackpool so much without ever having been there, but it amuses me.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

*snort* Been there. At work. :D

Aw, well, I think Claude reserves the right to make fun of his hometown. And that would be a right he would exercise, without a doubt.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Hah. I have not yet become that depraved, but during class, definitely. And I've definitely been on LJ while at work.

Oh, Claude would definitely take advantage of his right to make fun of his hometown. But probably also send money back for improvement projects on the DL, just to help out the other confused young people.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Ha, oh, well, I have mentioned how slow my work days get. Today I honestly spent the last hour, maybe hour and a half, handwriting fic, which I just finished transcribing.

Exactly. Indeed. And just see Claude catch anyone but him make fun of Blackpool- always a bloodbath.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Heh, on Wednesday, I was having a day like that; I'd finished one of my projects and just about everyone else was out so I was going door to door trying to find something to do. I wanted to write fic but...I felt a little guilty. Next time though... ;)

Awww, Claude. I bet he gets an, ahem, hero's welcome any time he goes back home.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I hate when I have to wander around looking for someone to give me something to do. I gave up today because it was Friday and after lunch and what did they expect, really?

Heh, you know, I'm really torn on whether or not Claude has family in England or not. He stayed in America after the Company, but one could argue that's proof he's trying to protect his family as easily as that there's no family for him to go back to. We never found out what relation if any he had to Lee and Abby.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's seriously a drag. Today at least, since I left early, I had a pretty full half day, and I have something to fill Monday with pretty well. And then I'll have to go project hunting again, I think.

You know, strangely enough, I think that Claude probably had at least a few really decent people in his life early on, and some of them were bound to be family members. For all his cynicism etc, he does seem capable of trusting people and being pretty loyal to them (or at least he was before Bennet). But he still had a pretty crappy life otherwise, in a pretty crappy place, plus he was probably young and stupid and one of those "run away and never think about it again" type of guys (I mean, he still is). As for Lee and Abby, I absolutely cannot believe that he would be willing to risk everything and get that attached to anyone after Peter and everything else that happened in S1 without there being some prior connection to them. So. Yeah. Claude totally has family, that he probably feels some affection for, but it was just easier to avoid thinking about them because going back would probably make things worse for everyone.

[gingerberrysnap.livejournal.com]

LOL. That is sadly true. But at least I learn things about wine in the process that are... probably not at all applicable to every day life.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Heh, really. I mean, am I going to need to know motorcycle repair, or urban sewer systems, or muscular entropy, or effects of electrocution again? Unlikely. But oh well.
