♥ Yeah. So. Those vandals/whatever the fuck they are? Hit again. I lost TWO tires last night. Completely ruined. Now it's having to find money to pay for those. This is the third incident. I can't miss work tonight, not after having taken PTO a few times lately, and I'm now stressed/pissed off and don't have any idea what we can do. We've got lights on the driveway. We've filed police reports. No one has seen anything. Delani hasn't heard anything from the original girl who we know did things in any manner that indicates the girl is still 'out to get her', since Delani basically works non-stop/spends time with new boyfriend so. I just don't know what to do. It's always my car hit the worst because I get home around midnight after work, and I can't keep living here if every 2-3 weeks, I'm out hundreds of dollars for car repairs. I just...gah. It's been a pretty sucky last week or so RL-life wise and this just doesn't help. Does anyone live somewhere with jobs available who needs a roommate? I'm neat/tidy and come with lots of DVDs. *sigh*
♥ I had planned to start writing more on my AU idea or the other idea that I've been tossing around for [info]startrekbigbang but now I can't do anything except stress out. *stabz* I've loved the arc for Two Men & a Starship, and I'm going to revisit that verse once that series ends. I love those boys too much not to play with them lots more. However, I'm also going to hit the kink meme to write some one shots (longer/shorter/whatever) and work on that AU idea (I started it and got a prologue written and like it so far even if I'm wibbling over the AU thing) and the other idea (Kirk/McCoy UST/romance fun times), one of which will hopefully be 15k+/finished for Big Bang.
[info]hermionebigbang is going well. I need to edit my fic for it, but I still have time. I don't get an artist because I'm a mod and we chose not to assign ourselves artists cause that was kinda weird to consider doing, which means I don't have to worry about the rough draft needing cleaned up yet. LOL We're still waiting to hear back from some artists, and I hope they confirm soon so the authors can start working with them for illustrations/etc. There's going to be so much amazing Hermione fic from this. I've enjoyed everything I've had time to read through so far.
♥ Okay. So, yeah. I'm still ranty/pissed off/annoyed but I keep trying to tell myself that it could be worse, cause it totally could. The gas tank thing with the tires that first time was much more expensive/worse. If anyone has some happy/sexy Hermione fic or Kirk/McCoy to rec, please point. I need something good right now. Heh.

[info]seshat1 is going to be in town this weekend. I'm so excited to see her again. I haven't seen her since my trip to London in Nov 2008. *bounes* I am such a shy type of person but I love meeting fandom friends who can ramble with me about odd things no one else understands. Hee.
♥ I am brainstorming a possible AU Kirk/McCoy idea for [info]startrekbigbang. I've never really been that big into AUs before but I'm loving the ones I'm reading lately and encouraging Flora and Emi to write AUs and have been bitten by a bunny for one of my own. We'll see if I can actually write it. There's also a prompt at the Kink meme for a Doom/Star Trek crossover that is really, really tempting, but it's another I'm not sure I could do justice to or not. LOL Once I finish up Starship (it's only going to be like half as long as Motorbike so it's already working towards an end), I'll see what my muse wants to play with. I also have a few different longer one-shot ideas for things set in the Motorbike/Starship verse, too. *pets plot bunnies*
♥ I finally found time to save like 100+ fics to my delicious whatever thingy. Kirk/McCoy fics of various ratings. My tagging system is basic and likely total fail cause I was working on it late at night when I couldn't sleep, and there's more I need to add when I find time (like non Kirk/McCoy and, uh, Kark/Chris >_> fics). Anyway, the link is here cause someone had asked me to post it once I got it started. More will get added when I get time. I'm addicted to K/M!
♥ We got artist-author match ups finished at [info]hermionebigbang. I'm hoping there won't be too many issues there. We've got some amazing fic and some brilliant artists participating, so it should be great fun come 9/19 when the archive goes live.
♥ I've had a pretty crappy week, mostly internal/emotional BS and cranky/depression stuff. Feeling better today, even if I hate working Fridays because of coworkers there on Fri that make things tense for half my shift. Mostly glad to not be feeling quite so meh about myself and RL etc. *hugs to y'all*
♥ I hope that everyone has a great weekend! *love and more hugs to everyone*

♥ Having a long week was nice, even if I didn't do a whole lot except write and work on [info]hermionebigbang stuff. Bad part is going back to work after taking more than normal days off and just being swamped as hell. LOL Almost makes it not worth taking PTO time but, man, I needed that break.
♥ Woke up today in a cranky sort of mood. Kinda tired, kinda headache-y, kinda grr. Lovely. Heh.
♥ Am doing some general brainstorming for [info]startrekbigbang and can't decide if I want to follow a bunny that's sort of rom-com smutty or go after a bunny that's maybe more serious or what. Too many options at the moment, I guess. I know it'll be Kirk/McCoy, but, otherwise, not sure what'll take over and demand to be written.
♥ We ended up with like 47 entries for [info]hermionebigbang! I'm really surprised and happy about that. I honestly expected a much larger drop out rate and was prepared to be thrilled if we got 10 submissions. Pretty good mixture of gen-ship-crossover-etc., too.
♥ I hope that everyone's having a great week. Feel free to drop me a comment and let me know how you're doing or just say hi. ♥ and hugs to everyone.

♥ Happy July 4th to anyone who celebrates the holiday.
♥ This weekend is sort of bittersweet for me. I've got several days off, which is nice, but it was a year ago tomorrow that my gran got sick and went to ER. I sort of associate '4th of July' with her sudden deterioration and when we lost her, even though she died on July 16 and not July 4. It's a mental thing, so I've been getting increasingly antisocial and sad in recent days, and it's kinda hitting me today more than usual. I can't believe it's almost been a year that she's been gone. *hugs everyone*
♥ So, yeah. I'm trying to be productive this weekend and do things that aren't sitting around being sad and melancholy. I'm doing my best to update Starship every day, cause it's eating my brain, and I've been seeing lots of Kirk/McCoy prompts at [info]st_xi_kink that I hope people fill and I've been catching up on some reading. We'll have final tally counts for [info]hermionebigbang on Monday, because we granted the weekend as an extension for folks to get their rough drafts in. I've been reading some things as I get time, and we're going to have some amazing longer Hermione fics come September 19th. So excited.
♥ There's a Kirk/McCoy PWP type bunny that keeps hopping around in my head. I might end up trying to write it just to get it to go away so I can focus on figuring out a definite idea for Star Trek Big Bang, which I need to start writing in my downtime after updating Starship. More hours in the day is what I need. LOL But, man, I do love having a ship eating my brain like this, even if I've never been particularly OTP-ish before. Just something about these boys!
♥ I hope that everyone has a great weekend! Love and hugs to you all.

Yeah, I've signed up. Will see if I can write 15k of Jim/Bones while also writing Two Men & a Starship. *crosses fingers*

[info]hermionebigbang rough drafts are due by Friday. So excited to see final entry amount!

[info]hermione_smut has sign-ups open here! Go join if you're a Hermione fan. I might offer to pinch hit, since I still have fics to write elsewhere and need to edit my Big Bang in upcoming weeks, too.

"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning." ~ Gloria Steinem

"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." ~Sylvia Plath

"The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium." ~Norbet Platt

"The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible." ~Vladimir Nabakov

"Life can't ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death - fascinating, cruel, lavish, warm, cold, treacherous, constant." ~Edna Ferber

"There are thousands of thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen and writes." ~William Makepeace Thackeray

There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. ~Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith
