The Danger of Four Letter Words...

Like 'Want' for example.

As a great man once sang, 'You can't always get what you want' but I'd like to add that that certainly doesn't stop you from wanting it. Craving it even. No matter how very bad for you that might be. Bad in the good AND bad way. Mmm. Man drama is teh suck.

Service

So. After almost two years of consideration, I've made a pretty huge decision to serve my country.NOT in the military (those that know me, know I don't do well with orders for one and for two, I'm allergic to almost everything outside anyway).

I'm applying to join Americorps. I haven't told anyone really yet except for the people I'm asking to act as references. I'm so incredibly excited at the opportunity to work a job I'm actually going to like!! The pay's going to be absolute crap, but so what? I'm finally doing it!! Woot! Wish me luck!! And if you get an email begging for a reference be kind, LOL.

BIG Night.

Tonight marks a momentous occasion!!!

I FINISHED A STORY.

Well,it'snot so much a story as it is a fanficlet, but it is done bitches!! Whoo! *dances* I haven't been able to finish any of the fics I've been working on for the last *glances at watch* YEAR without either getting bored, tossing the whole shebang out (over 10,000 words and many nights burnin' the midnight oil later), or just being stuck in godawful writer's block (*knocks on wood, crosses self, throws salt over shoulder, and spits for good measure*).

The story I wrote is about a character I despise and another I find to be--how do I put this??--a conniving, malicious whore and how they wound up together at least for one night. It's dark, violent, and twisted. Completely unlike anything I've ever written. And I love it!! I'm definitely going to try and write some more. May the literary gods smile down on us all!
