entirely ruined her disposition with books

Just thought you'd want to know.

But now I am too emotionally exhausted to wade through my flist (why does this always seem such a daunting task? I don't know, but it does), so y'all will have to wait for replies from me. Sorry.

But I was on tumblr last night and somebody kept posting Fringe graphics, and I was like, "I want to watch that show, just for Lincoln Lee and his face." And I don't really have any desire to watch that show, but OMG LINCOLN LEE AND HIS FACE.

Which reminds me of how I am always thinking, "Merlin really sucks and I've tried to watch it like six times and can't get into it which is probably a pretty good sign that I won't ever get into it, but OMG GWEN AND HER FACE."

And then I think, "Gossip Girl stopped being guilty fun a long time ago and started sucking and I gave it up for a reason, but OMG BLAIR WALDORF AND HER FACE."

And I don't know if I'll ever get around to watching Gen 2 of Skins, but then I see a Cook gif, and I'm like, "OMG JAMES COOK AND HIS FACE."

And I actively hate Glee , but sometimes I feel a sudden attack of "OMG SANTANA LOPEZ AND HER FACE!"

And I have Officially Given Up on Once Upon a Time, but last night I was all, "OMG PRINCE CHARMING DUDE AND HIS FACE!"

[no offense to anyone who loves these shows. they just don't work for me, generally speaking.]

So I guess what I'm asking is, am I the only one who does this? Who has a bizarre amount of affection for characters on shows I don't even watch? To the point where I actively sit around wishing that the characters were on better shows so that I could watch the show and then fangirl that character for real? Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this.

Speaking of excellent faces, I think I'm going to watch Party Down soon. CALL ME, ADAM SCOTT!

HAVE AN ICON OF COLETTE'S FACE! I still have no idea of whether Pan Am is actually canceled, but anyone who would take that face off of television is a criminal.

And then hit me with this meme, okay?

RELATE ME! When you think of me, what is the first thing that pops into your mind related to me in the following 10 catergories:

<b>TV Show: </b> <b>Character: </b> <b>Pairing: </b> <b>Actor/Actress: </b> <b>Color: </b> <b>Food/Drink: </b> <b>Icon: </b> <b>Website/community: </b> <b>Other LJ user: </b> <b>Word: </b>

OMG WHAT?



THIS GIRL FINISHED NANOWRIMO, THAT'S WHAT.



50,000 WORDS, Y'ALL.



And who cares that most of those 50,000 words suck? I have proved to myself that I can actually generate a lot of words and won't be limited to 3,000 word fanfics. And that feels pretty good.



Oh, yeah. I'm totally awesome.

With every passing day, I grow more and more convinced that television would be so much better if my flist ran it. Which...actually, it's probably a good thing that we don't, because if I'm as easily obsessed with it in its current imperfect form, imagine how I would be if it were even better. I would have no life. Or even less of one than I currently do.

This comes to mind because eilowyn is working on a Supernatural gender!swap cast (why does this not happen all the time? If any show's been begging to be gender!swapped, it's SPN) and miss_mishi did a race!swap casting of Marauders-era Harry Potter that is absolutely delightful. Go forth and marvel at the hot.

Also: I AM LESS THAN 3,000 WORDS AWAY FROM FINISHING NANOWRIMO, Y'ALL. I AM GONNA DO THIS. EXPECT A CELEBRATORY POST TONIGHT.

So I've been kind of absent of late. Between new job, NaNoWriMo (which is going pretty well! Post about that to come, hopefully!) and busy family-ness, I just don't really have the time or energy to post a whole lot. Basically, by the time I get settled at home, I'm so tired that all I have the energy to do is reblog pictures of pretty people on tumblr, because that takes zero thought.

But I've been trying to keep up with y'all's posts, so there's that, but, once again, I am hopelessly behind in replying to comments in this here blog. Hopefully I can catch up with that very soon.

I've got a few fics ideas stewing that I might have some time to work on after November's over, and there's also YULETIDE OMG MY FAVORITE FANDOM ACTIVITY OF THE YEEEEEAR. Speaking of which, if you haven't signed up, it's not quite too late! You still have a few hours left! Get on it! Y'all, I signed up to write YA books of wonderfulness from my childhood! Heartbreaking and/or silly movies! Random Korean television! No matter what my assignment is, I will be psyched about it. Which reminds me that I need to finish up my "Dear Yuletide writer" letter stat.

Also! I have my next casting/picspam planned! Basically, now that I've started this, I will never stop. I have made a monster of my own self.

Oh, and I have a big big big project I need to start working on for January--keep watching this space for more info (and a couple of you keep watching your email boxes for requests for help--you know who you are, even if you have no idea what I'm talking about. If you think I'm talking about you, I am. I can vague that up a bit more, if you like. And yes, that's a hint).

I hope y'all are all doing well and that the gross weather (if you're having gross weather) hasn't been getting you down. Feel free to let me know what you're up to. Hopefully once the month is over, I'll be able to plunge back into lj life. I miss it.

Oh, and the last and most important thing (of the moment): in an hour and a half I will be sitting in a movie theater waiting for Harry Potter to start! My ticket is in my wallet! YAY YAY YAY!

Oh, and Emmie--I can't access my email here, but I wanted you to know that I got your email before I left for work this morning and I can't wait to check it out! Yay some more!

You know what kind of sucks?

Right at this very moment, I kind of really want to write a long, long Sam/Ainsley fic just because.

But it's NaNoWriMo month, and I'm already behind.

It's kind of hard to shift your mind from a love story about witty, bantery ideological opposites in love against the backdrop 21st century politics to a darkish pseudo-Victorian YA fantasy novel about the nature of family.

*sigh*
