babble for the win

So... Life = busy. Brain = very much back and forth...

WIN = We saw Eddie Izzard on Saturday in SF and he was SO AWESOME! I never go to live shows of anything but this was great, definitely money well spent.

FAIL = My husband is now older. Which means that *I* will be getting older, too. I'm somehow more bummed about this bday than any other one I can remember. Probably because it;s been hard to see what exactly I've accomplished in the last three years...

WIN = Hellboy 2 was great! I have high hopes for the Hobbit.

FAIL = I have been working and working and working on this stupid shopping cart for my website and I *hate* it. Every step has involved about 4 hours of work I didn't schedule for. Today had 9 tasks. I accomplished one.

WIN = Been sleeping better, getting up earlier, getting to work, getting things done.

FAIL = Cramps. I mean, not the worst ever (no crying or vomiting), but no picnic.

WIN = Deciding today was a tiara day. Because life is just better when you're wearing the princess crown.

FAIL = I really want to start writing the next fic in my brain but I am SO SCARED to begin. Why? I'm not sure. Because the ideas aren't very fleshed out yet? Because writing anyhting long scares the bejesus out of me? Because I hate WIPs? Because the pressure to get the next chapter out gets to me? Because real life is crazy-busy and will be for the next month at least? Because I don't have a beta and really need someone to brainstorm with?

All of it, I guess.

Anyone wanna volunteer for chatting and/or betaing? Pretty please? With nakedsexyboys on top?

(I want to leave the plot as surprise, but I will say it's JA/JP, JA/JDM, set in at a university. More humor/smut than angst, overall.)

You know I'm clueless in your new fandom, but I'm good at listening and asking questions, so you're welcome to bounce ideas my way anytime, too, and I have lots of experience fleshing out long stories. ;)

*smooch* You are a lifesaver. Having someone to bother with silly questions and think out loud with is *so* helpful. Thank you tons!
