more babble (sober this time)

[salixbabylon]

1) You know what I would really enjoy for my birthday on Sunday? somEEcards - when you care enough to hit send. They crack me up. :)

2) Last night I did the stupidest thing I've done in a long, long while. I got so upset about something I had no control about that I cried off and on for about four hours and gave myself a migraine, the second migraine I've ever had. I am equally torn between trying to be self-compassionate and just do better in the future and beating myself up about it. Guess which is winning.

3) Grey's Anatomy is making me cry at every. single. episode. I watched 6 eps yesterday and every one made me weepy. Seriously, it must be hormonal because I'm not usually like this. Maybe I should stop watching it. But I like it.

4) Ok, I *am* usually like this.

5) I'm finally writing. Again. I have four chapters finished, and I want to start posting, but I'm afraid that if I don't have a good chunk done in advance, I'll get overwhelmed and there will be a big long break and people will get cranky...

But sometimes feedback is motivating. So I'm torn.

5) WOW - am I a stereotypical Libra today or what? *facepalms*

I'm in the middle of like 50 things, but just wanted to pop in and weigh in on your #2. That happened to me about a month ago. I don't think that I was hormonal or premenstrual but I just couldn't stop crying and it really was over stuff that never gets to me.

You aren't alone. Big hugs. Hope you feel better today and your migraine goes away.

*loves you and your ramblin' woman ways*

Are you watching Denny?

Because that'll make me cry every time. And I don't even like that show!

I promise I will not get cranky if it takes you sometime after you post what you have done now to post more.

Sometimes life just interferes with your fun.

*hug* I don't think most of my actual friends would get cranky... But last time, when I was writing Educational Endeavors, someone actually had the nerve to email me after a 2-month break and ask if they could finish writing the story since I had obviously quit.

So now I have angst. :P

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I am! I downloaded the eps JDM was in, and just those ones. And now I am so sucked in. *sigh*

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I always aim to amuse. :)

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

*hug* I felt much better today, thank you. It's good to know I'm not the only one. :)

[ladykatiewench.livejournal.com]

He kills ya, doesn't he?

Just when you thought you may love JDM enough...you watch him as Denny and that's it! He's so incredible.

Have you watched the ep from the third season yet?

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I've seen:

Begin the Begin
What Have I Done to Deserve This?
Band-Aid Covers the Bullet Hole
Superstition
The Name of the Game
Blues for Sister Someone

And if I'd just consulted wikipedia *first*, I would have known that the answer is "no," but since I typed all that, I'm posting it. :P

He does kill me. Every single damn time.

pbthth. I've seen stories restart after *much* longer than that. For the most part, I try to read finished series, unless it's from somebody I believe is going to finish, whenever they get around to finishing. I'll still be here. and something new is a nice treat.

Many of us get into fan fiction because we were so caught up in the story and characters we *must* have more. And the more doesn't exist. So, consider it this way. Your story and character development was so compelling, that the reader just couldn't wait to have more.

[ladykatiewench.livejournal.com]

I have a theory (cause I like making theories)...

I didn't particularly like GA. But I loved him. And if that character had been played by someone else, I probably wouldn't've liked him.

Cause he's kind of a dick. He says things that should get him slapped. But he does it with that smile on his face.

And that smile says, "I really adore you. And I am hoping and praying that you adore me back, because that would rock." And it's hard to turn down someone who is looking at you and smiling at you as though you hung the sun.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Because we're not given much of a reason for them to like each other beyond him thinking she's hot and hitting on her a lot.

But he's just so damn charming you can't help it! I'd have shown him my boobs. ;)

Heck, I still will...

[ladykatiewench.livejournal.com]

Exactly! The entire relationship is based on his charm! And because he is so good, we completely buy it! We go for it!

I'm with you! I'd do it too!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

That's certainly a more positive way to look at it. I'll try to keep it in mind. :)

*hug* Thanks for the pep talk, babe.

[rinakabu.livejournal.com]

I would be happy to read what you got so far and give feedback.
I don't get cranky in friend's journals, that's just not nice!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the offer! I have two betas already, so I feel pretty good about that aspect - it's just the "to post, or not to post (yet)" question. With 32 chapters planned, I'm just not sure how far ahead I need to be to not feel pressured.

I'm lucky to have such supportive friends - rarely does anyone get cranky in my LJ. ;)
