And She Was....

30 November 2009 @ 09:15 pm

I survived the Thanksgiving weekend, though now I'm doing hand to hand combat with the beginnings of a migraine. I have been a ball of productivity today. Not. The only thing I did was go to Wal-Mart and buy a new mouse, since my old one broke last night. Tomorrow the Christmas decorations come up and I start decking the halls, hopefully to be done by weekend.

In sad news, my grandmother forgot my mother's birthday for the second year in a row. I think I'm going to forget Christmas for her. It breaks my heart to see Momma so down about it, and I am reminded why I'm not close to my grandmother at all.

I want to get some writing done and I will aim for that after omelette time. Hans and Severus both are wondering where I went and I'd like to get another chapter of the fic I posted the intro for Detention done. Though now I'm like...there's a half dozen versions of the Severus/Sera pairing now...lol...so I'm like...should I just go with the first idea and do them one by one, or go for the more canonesque one first? Decisions, decisions.

Blah...maybe I'll go for bed and my tape recorder, and type it up tomorrow.

I'm Still Alive...Sort Of....

Bleh...every time my father gets three or more days off we go on the project spree. This time I suggested a relatively simple idea that should take two hours tops. Heh. Should've known better. Plus finished shopping for my mother's birthday. Plus Christmas season has started. I am sorely tempted tomorrow to just stay in bed and spend half the day watching movies and the other writing. And I want to finish Deathly Hallows, which I started this afternoon, by December 2nd because something has come to light that is going to mean alot of studying. I'll explain when I'm more sure of it. Plus I can finally jump into the HP fandom with both feet! :D

My head hurts, I'm tired, and my brain doesn't want to still in coherent streams. I've got "Sweeney Todd" and "Pet Sematary 2" sitting at my elbow. Or I just might go straight to sleep, the way I feel. Ho Ho Ho.

Tomorrow I'm painting my bedroom and bringing up the Christmas decorations. Thankfully life will go back to normal on Monday. At least, not the rush rush rush of this weekend. I'll spend the week decorating and getting prepared to welcome the Yuletide.

Tonight...I'm just farking tired. :P

Holidaze Starts! And Questions For Wii People!

I hoped to leave a fic offering here tonight, but Severus and rest of the Harry Potter gang had to take a back seat to the first of many errands running missions between now and New Years. Eight stores in three and a half hours. We're completely ready for Thanksgiving now and I got my Mom's birthday (on Sunday) done, though now I think I might end up going back out to get one more thing. The street that has all the stores and the mall on it was bumper to bumper at 1pm. Meijers was packed at 11am and sold out of turkeys. Best Buy just about killed me with all the noise.

On a side note, I finally got to play a Wii. I WANT!!!! Who has a Wii? Do you love it? I'm interested in the aspect of gaming being more physical, the fitness aspect, and the fact it just looks like so much fun! I already found a Lightsaber Duel game. I've always wanted to try fencing because of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. *blush* That would be a much safer way, given my clumsiness. Anyways, I like Super Mario brothers, games that tie in with movies and shows I love, stratedy, Harvest Moon type sims.... What are your favorite games for Wii? The worst ones?

Well, tomorrow I gotta stick my hand up the turkey's frozen butt. Yay. Going to start bringing up the Christmas decorations and by Monday we should be kickin' it in a Christmas crib. I might make a brief trip out Friday morning but for the most part I'm going to stay home and hide from the crazy shoppers. I love to go out and do things, but large, noisy crowds can make me anxious. So I'm going to take full advantage of the time to get some projects done, including swapping my bedroom around a bit. Oh, and watching more movies. I want to catch up on what of Mr. Rickman's are on Netflix to watch on the comp. They took Blow Out off the online library before I could see it. :( Also want to take a good chunk out of Deadly Hallows. Fast, like ripping off a bandaid. Then I can get more involved in the HP fandom...and go back to maintaining that Severus is really alive somewhere because of the old X-Files qoutent no body = not necessarily dead!

LJ Details Meme

via

elethian

1. My username is ______ because ______.

My name is WordFuzion because that is the screen name I use for basically everything online. I like simplicity like that. If you see a WordFuzion, it's probably me!

The name itself speaks to my love of writing. When you write, you fuse words. Add an alternate spelling of "fusion" and there you go!

2. My name is _____ because ______.

My name is....um.....you know, I don't think I use one of those.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

My journal is titled "And She Was..." because it's the name of a Talking Heads song I adore. Also, I love the ethereal lyrics of the song, and especially the refrain:

And she was glad about it
No doubt about it
She's not sure just where she's gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she's done
And she was.....

For some reason it just seems to feel right to me. And I am. :P

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

My friends page is called "My Friends" because it's another song I totally adore. "My Friends" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's kind of depression, but it's a great song and I like the chorus.

"I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself"

*shrug* Again, it makes perfect sense to me.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

My default userpic is Severus Snape from Harry Potter with the text "Just Like Anyone" because he's one of my all time favorite fictional characters and one I feel a kinship with. We both went through hell with our peers in school, both did some dumb things in our early adult years and both found a niche for ourselves as adults. I hope I am able to make my life something that the world is a better place for me having been here, despite lack of fame or glory, just as Severus's story ended.

The text is the title of my personal anthem, Soul Aslyum's "Just Like Anyone". It's also a reminder that Severus (representing the outcast) are every bit as human as everyone else. He has the same emotions, dreams, joys and sorrows you are capable of having.

Blah Blah Blah

I am so freaking depressed right now. *sigh* I was all jazzed to write, and I didn't get started because of parents and friends, and by the time I sit down to it I'm too depressed to put words to page. Fan-fucking-tastic. I hope the Christmas spirit settles in soon, that should get me through until Janurary, then it's just a daily battle against seasonal depression til March. Wheee!

I need to finish the HP books so I can join some rpg groups for it. I miss roleplaying and it's a good outlet for me. I'm ready to start DH, but I think I'm holding back because I know like half of the cast dies. Especially Severus. :( But it's necessary to make the final step into the fandom. Growing pains, much?

Oh, I saw "Dogma" last night. Great movie! First off, I love George Carlin, Alan Rickman and Alanis Morissette. Second off, it was funny and smart and overall great. Third off, if God looks like Alanis Morissette and sounds like Alan Rickman, I don't think Heaven is going to be as boring as I thought it sounded. :P Fourth off, it has some great points about religion. Fifth off, it's now my favorite "spiritual" movie. And what does that make me? A bad Catholic! :P

Feeling slightly better...maybe I'll try to write after all. TTFN.

Writing Wrambles

Well, I haven't finished a story yet, but I came up with a new writing method. I just write down all the scenes in my head, whether they all add up to a complete story or just a bunch of scenes from a variety of stories. Once I empty my brain from the scenes that have been going around my head for the day, then I start working on my current piece.

Right now, current piece is for an obscure fandom and I'm having a great time doing something longer! It's also my first time heading for a chaptered fic instead of a one shot. *happy dance* I think I needed something new. Once I finish the HP books/movies (I'm reading it so slow, I have no clue why. Other then I've been very tired the past month and going to bed earlier) then I have a whole list of Snapefics! :D

The only thing that's hard right now is my A key. It's sticking so I have to hit it just the right way for it to work, which is slowing me down. And better yet, it's a laptop so I can't just run to Wal-Mart and get another keyboard. Anyone know how to fix that?

The 15th Of November....

This is one of my least favorite days to live in the State of Michigan. November 15th opens up the deer murder..I mean hunting...season. I won't pontificate too much here, but I don't understand how shooting something so beautiful can make you more of a man. Makes me wonder if the guy isn't trying to compensate for a lack of real estate below the belt. I'm not a vegetarian, though partially because of anemia, I don't think it's wrong to eat meat. But just to shoot something to chop off the head and hang it on the wall? Barbaric.

In other news...I'm trying to break my non-writing streak with writing an off-the-wall fandom. Well, everyone's seen the movie, but it doesn't have a large fandom, especially for my favorite character in it. I'm also trying to get the journal fixed up a bit. I'm putting more HP and XF icons on, and maybe someday I'll have the header finished, lol.

Going to F-List. TTFN!

Took Katy, my Mom's diva kitty, to the vet today. It was just about World War Three getting her into the carrier. I'm sitting here with bloody scratches from wrist to elbow on both arms, and she's still really pissed at me. I had to pry her out from behind the toliet, then from under a dresser. Thankfully her flea allergy can be treated and she should be feeling better in a few days.

In other news, I finalized plans for the rat mansion today! I think we'll get started this weekend. Turns out there's a small animal rescue just twenty minutes away and I want to check with them first before I get my rats. My father is leaning towards Pet Co, but I want to give rescue a chance. Not to mention there's the moral dilemma if buying from a pet store causes more business for rodent mills. Hmmmph.

I'm a little down. Going to go amuse myself. TTFN

Idiot, Party of One...

So a few weeks ago I swore off diet soda for life. My stomach got better, I had less rumblings in my colon, and no headaches. I also managed to get up to 134lbs. Of course I panic and go back to diet soda. (I can't eat with water, I don't know why.) I'm not drinking nearly as much as before...I've managed to pick up a coffee addiction in less then a week....and I try to drink my eight, 8oz glasses of water a day, but I'm still drinking it with meals and my pills. And my stomach burns, I've got gas and my head hurts. There's using good judgement!

Any ideas how to make iced tea more palatable? I'm trying all this weird fruity tea stuff, but it still tastes too much like tea. I did go from never drinking coffee to becoming addicted in the course of a weekend (thank God I don't drink alcohol!) so maybe I could get past it, but the only tea I can handle right now is chai and peppermint. And neither seem right cold.

I know, I know...cry moar. :P

The Experiment....

Remember how I was going to not watch House last night and see if I still cared? Well, despite not liking some of the storylines and recent developments and being tired of the ship wars (it's hard out here for a multi-shipper pimp!).... I CARE!

I don't have much else productive to say. I'm having some fatigue issues still, but what do you expect after Swine Flu followed by Bronchitis followed by a Period when you already have anemia issues? Elsewise, our next door neighbor and our Vet have also gotten Swine Flu in the past week. If it wasn't so close to the holidays, I think I'd live in a bubble for awhile because I do not want to get it again!

Off to read my f-list and rejuggle my icons. I need more HP, more XF, and I think I'm going to just use ship-neutral House icons now. *nodnod* And that's my boring life! :D

A Little Experiment

I'm not sure how I went from "enjoy the show for what it is" rant on Soophelia's journal to tonight. This is the first night in over a year I have skipped "House" on purpose. I'm just frusterated with the show and to be honest, the fandom is also frusterating me. It's weird, when ER and X-Files hit rough times, I was a huge supporter. This time around, I'm taking a step back. I don't know how I got to this point, but I think alot of the current plots feel forced and I don't like the way House himself has changed. I don't know. I'm going to see if I care after missing tonight's ep. I had to back off ER for awhile years ago when Romano got killed off. After two months of not watching, I decided even without my favorite character, I missed it.

So am I the only one who thinks the show is lacking this season? Or is this something in my head.

Weekend Update

Well, I was a lazy ass all weekend. The result? Tomorrow I think I will be able to go back to the ol' bump and grind. Which means trying to make my latest artsy idea work. This should be fun! If it works, I think you guys might be amoung some of the interested parties. :D

Anyways, I slept late Saturday, read for awhile, watched "28 Weeks Later" and "Die Hard".

Observation: Alan Rickman is now in my top five sexiest men list. As Severus Snape. And Hans Gruber. Or just standing on a street corner. Adorable smile, pretty eyes, voice like liquid sex..... Mmmmm...it was very hard to root for John McClane over Hans Gruber. And I think I need to pick up "Die Hard" for when I need a little bit of extra smex. Because Bruce Willis looks pretty damn good in that movie too. He's not on my sexiest list....but watching him and AR duke it out in the movie is like chocolate for the eyes.

*ahem*

And......I forgot what else I was going to say. Go me! :D

Let's just change the name of this journal to "And She Bitches"..... *sigh*

I really did have a good week. I've been hyper, have gotten some projects done, over all in a great, happy mood. Then last night I started coughing a bit again. Today I really am not feeling so hot. I'm so sick of this! I was sick most of October between Swine Flu and Bronchitis...I had a good week, then now I'm feeling crummy again. WTF body?

In happier news, I am going to be adding a trio of rats in the near future. :D Right now, I'm in the process of planning out my rat palace. Since none of our dogs are using this crate we have, I'm going to rewire it and use it for a rat cage. It's HUGE. So now I'm trying to figure out how to make it a kickin' rat pad. After it's done, I'll bring the new kids home. I'm giving them Harry Potter names, but I won't know which until I see them in person, though one is going to be named Snape...even if I get girls! :P (I've always used fandom names for my rats. *shrug* ) I'm excited. Marty is the perfect dog, but Gypsy, my last rat, has been gone for two years now and I need a little rattie back in my life!

Bleck...

So I gained ten pounds last winter. I was upset at first, but I've learned to deal with it. I've even learned to like having more boobies and butt. My caveat was "as long as I fit into my jeans". Well, I've fit into a particular pair of jeans, my first at size four, since Feb 2004. Getting them on today took nothing short of a miracle. So yeah, Mare needs to trim a bit of fat. Because almost all of my clothes are made for a 4 to 6 body now and it's getting really cold to walk around naked.

It's been almost a month since I got off diet soda. I feel better, clearer, less headaches and stomaches (post Swine-Flu, at least) and I won't go back to it. BUT I need to stop drinking regular soda. So, after 27 years, I'm finally giving coffee a chance. I love it with flavored creamer or cappucino, and the tin of French Vanilla cappucino is 60 calories a glass versus 120 for Coke. And of course I need to fall back in love with my Brita water filter. And forget cookies exist. And pizza. And cheeseburgers.....

BLAH! All my good eating habits have died in the past year. Now I need to retrain my mind how to think about food again. Damn you slowing metabolism! Damn you age thirty slowly creeping up on me!

Okay...I've eaten like a cow, I've watched horror movies, and I have a story to tell that for Halloween 2009 I went as a person with Swine Flu. All in all, a good Halloween, even if it's not like OMGZ! BEST EVAR!

Hope everyone has enjoyed their Halloweens! You'll probably read this on Nov 1st, but let's give Halloween one more boogie before we start getting into the Christmas Spirit, shall we?
