( okay, boss )

I have two ficathon fics due on Wednesday, which is also the day I Start My Jobhunt. So, yay?

I bought The Lost Slayer, a BtVS liscenced novel fanfic thingie today. About a quarter of the way through. I think I like it better than Pretty Maids All in a Row, although the plot took a REALLY long time to get started. I also stared at DVDs in the bookstore and considered buying but didn't: S1 of Full House, S1 of Manchild, a special on British TV comediennes, including Patricia Routledge and Judi Dench and the woman who plays Alice on Vicar of Dibly, various Farscape sets, various nu!Drom sets, um, should I stop? If when I get a paying job, it will be even harder to remember not to treat myself to DVDs regularly.

Anyhow, Beckett fic is brewing and hopefully the Jack/Daniel fic will write itself.

We went to visit my Nana again today. I love my Nana but visiting her is hard. She's old and confused and sad, and it breaks my heart.

We went out for dinner tonight. I worry about my family and money. I never used to. But my parents are worried about money and therefore so am I.

So far, I don't like this adulthood thing.

Love you all,

Ari

And the second bit of fluff: for gvambat

Today is a good day! I think it's my reward from the universe for being good and going to bed early last night. First, there was this wonderful, beautiful, painfully good Jack/Daniel D/s fic written just for me. Shines Like Destruction by sage_theory. Read it. Good God, read it. Sadly, I had to interrupt my fic reading to go watch tS. (Oh, how sad! Instead of reading slash, I had to watch slash!) Then, my second class was cancelled! And I finally opened a bank account. Oh, what a good girl am I.

I should go to the post office to see if the mail gods have noticed my goodness and rewarded me with a letter.

Questions from gvambat (spelling corrected. :p)

1)If you could have one fandom-related wish granted, what would it be? If we're dreaming the impossible dream, I'd like to go back in time and have Andromeda redone, correctly this time.

On a slightly more plausible note, a Jack/Daniel kiss would make me veryveryveryvery unbelievably happy.

And more plausible still, to never again have another Jack/Sam moment that caused me spontaneous squick.

2)What's one fic you would absolutely never write--not as a challenge, not as parody, not even for...well, a reasonable amount of money? Graphic NC-17 Dylan/Trance. I think I can say with reasonable certainty that I will never write Dylan/Trance neither for love nor money. There are other things, too... like, given the unlikelihood of my even writing any DA fic, I highly doubt I'd write Logan/Alec. Since I dislike the pairing in the first place. So. There you have it.

3)What's your favorite artist (to be defined as you see fit--pictures, music, books, whatever)? The Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

4)If you could only ever write happy, fluffy gen fic, how painfully would you kill me? Terribly, incredibly painfully, with lots of torture and angst and evil mean vile malice. And then I wouldn't sarc you, on the grounds that you were already as evil as you could be. And then I'd write fic about it. With gratuitous necrophilia. *smiles sweetly*

5)Which would you rather give up: fic or vids? (Hey, turnabout's fair play!) Argh! PAIN! I'd say vids, but then... "Your Mistake"! "I'll Keep Your Secrets"! "Love is a Stranger"! "Private Emotion"! And then I'd say fic, but... then I never could've read Meg's fic this morning, and there would be no Dr. Jackson's Diaries, and no H/W slash, and how could I live without Holmes/Watson?? In conclusion, *sarcs* *kills* *sarcs* *kills*
