Ah!

Yuletide = panic. I just don't know about this, y'all. I just don't know.

Meeting up with high school friends (including childhood BFF who I haven't seen in like three years and who just got engaged to a guy I've never met and who I suspect is a completely different person now and I will have nothing in common with) = weird. We'll see.

Trying to get all of my fic into the AO3 = TEDIOUS. Why do I use so many italics? Why oh why oh why?

BFF having gone back to her hometown for Christmas = SUUUUUCK.

Most of the people I know (most of my friends are either still students or have become teachers) getting like a month off for break while I get two days = SUUUUCK X 1000.

Trying to get all of my life together and be an adult so that I can move out of the house = SCARY AS HELL. AS HELL. ASK DEAN WINCHESTER. AND ANGEL. THEY KNOW. HELL IS SCARY YO.

Not having gotten presents yet = not that bad, surprisingly. I don't give to many people. I just gift with my time.

Meeting up with future roommate to chat = kinda fun, even though I spent the whole time wondering what her reaction will be when she figures out how big of a geek I am.

Spending lots of time at work on the TV Tropes Wiki = WIN.

Me failing at lj by not replying to seven zillion comments = typical. But still made of fail.

Dollhouse = conflicted. Again.

But!

ENVER = LOOOOOVE. Also Topher = getting more awesome and lovable with each subsequent episode.

Yeah. That's about all the math I know.

Go, go! *cheers you on your Yuletide fics*

Go, GO! *cheers you on your Road to Adulthood(TM) even though I myself petrified at the idea of After Graduation*
If you’re in luck, she’ll be geeky as well.

Oh that blasted TVTropes. I once got to chatting with an old, similarly fandom-geeky, high school friend while she was trying to do some work, and then I mentioned that site. She’d never heard of it before. I got an IM about 30 minutes later= Now I’ll NEVER get any work done! I replied- That’s the same thing I thought when I was first discovering that site!

Tsk, Topher is fast becoming my favorite character. Victor!Topher just sealed the deal.

About Yuletide: do you write for ONE person with many different fandoms? Or do you write for the fandoms of your choice, with different people requesting each one?

I'm sooo behind on comments...

Thanks for all the cheers, love! They mean a lot!

Yuletide goes like this: you get to submit four prompts in different fandoms. You also sign up for as many fandoms/characters as you want to that you're willing to write. Then (probably using a computer program), you're matched up with someone whose prompts matches a fandom you'll write. Then, you write! Does that make sense?
