Distracted By Something Shiny

So, this is my birthday post (okay, so it is an hour too early but whatever). As long as I don't fall on my face once my houseguests leave, I will be typing up my first fanfic ever (I have to type it up because it is hand-written in my old elementary school diary) as my gift to all of you on my birthday.

Also, The BFF will be returning home from her exile and we can give each other big birthday hugs, as it is her birthday as well! It is The BFF's hobbit-coming-of-age this year. I feel like we should give her a round of applause and some scones or tea and biscuits. My sister is taking us both out to a super fancy birthday dinner this weekend.

I have many things to tell you all about my visit with my brother and family, but right now I just spent an hour and a half talking with him and his wife about The Apocalypse and now I am very tired (I get all riled up talking about the end of the world, you know).

So let me leave you with this picture of me as a baby. I think maybe baby-pictures will be a birthday tradition for me on LJ, since I did it last year. I mean, I was an adorable kid, right?



How 1970's is that picture?

Awwww, I missed my LJ this week. /pets its pretty head/

Just popping in to say that I am still alive. I know I haven't replied to comments in like two weeks. I've been keeping up on my Flist though and that is pretty much all the energy I have. I get tired so easily. I was actually pretty sick for a few days last weekend (doctors say food poisoning, I say the flu - but seriously, on top of everything else that has been going on - suckfest). I have been feeling better, except I get so tired. Sitting up for more than an hour is exhausting. And since the doctors said not to push myself if I felt bad, it's been a lot of laying around watching TV and going out of my head (body is tired, mind is still going full tilt). I've written a lot of cracked-out stories in my head while I was laying around - now if only they would magically transfer to my computer.

Crack stories include; Castiel getting kittens and becoming obsessed with dressing them up, a fic where Dean tries to teach Cas about women but it ends up backfiring because Dean gets super jealous, a fic where Sam/Dean/Cas hunt together and um...use corporal punishment when one of them screws up on a job..and a crazy RPS fic in a Mpreg universe where people are allowed to have several spouses (really just an excuse to pair everyone with Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Shut up, my brain just works like that pretty much all the time when I'm bored.

Other things to report....sometimes I tape very bad movies that have some of my favorite actors in them - often bad C horror flicks and SyFy shows. The biggest hits on this are Jason London and Nicholas Brendon. Today the Tivo picked up two movies and I watched one this evening - my choices were "Fire Serpent" with Nicky Brendon or "The Prophecy: Uprising" with Jason London. I picked Fire Serpent. Only it accidentally taped something else. I ended up with "Basilisk - The Serpent King" starring Jeremy London. My mind was blown by this twist. Also, last night I was looking over my one and only Jeremy London RPS fic I ever wrote in my life, which I hadn't looked at in months. It is clearly some sort of sign. I just don't know what it is a sign of. As predicted, it was a bad movie but Jeremy looked good, so whatever. The evil chick was clearly evil based on her accent, though halfway through the movie she lost the accent and was American all of a sudden.

In final news - the most exciting thing to happen to me even if my life weren't lameass right now - NCIS:LA IS CROSSING OVER WITH HAWAII FIVE O!!!!!!!!! If you said to me, "Hey, Dodger, who is the hottest chick on TV right now?" - I would say, "Kensi from NCIS:LA...no, wait, Kono from H5O...no wait, I can't decide!!! But you know what would be awesome? If they were on a show together. If they like stood next to each other and kicked ass together and chased bad guys together and wore awesome boots together and rode motorcycles together and made out with each other."

AND NOW....THOSE THINGS ARE COMING TO MY TV!! (hopefully they will actually ride motorcycles together - my little heart would be so happy!)

It's going to be utter stupid ridiculous crack.

I am so excited.

That is all.

So a week ago today, Thursday the 20th, was my Grandpa's 91st birthday. I should have made this post then, but I was so emotionally exhausted by the time we got home from his birthday party.

( Stories that prove how awesome my grandpa is. )

My grandpa is absolutely the one person I know that I can say is my hero. More than any famous person, actor, inventor, politician - my grandpa is my #1 hero.

Sadly, he had a second stroke a few weeks back and his health has taken a serious decline and he had to go into a rehab center. I don't really want to go into all the details right now, because this is a post about how awesome my grandpa is - but the stress of this is why I haven't been posting much lately. Though I have lots of things to say to all of you. (I have the best story about The Nephew to share).

Anyway, my grandpa is awesome and I love him and I just wanted to share that with you.

Hello, flist people.

I just wanted to let you know that my eye surgery went very well.

( Update on my eye surgery... )

While I laid there, I came up with several fan-fic story ideas. They probably suck, since I was tripping - (oh yeah, was I ever tripping.)

( Here are the four ideas I came up with while tripping balls. )

So, anyway, my eye still hurts, but I can see now. And I'll be easing myself back into computer time. I've also decided to write 500 words every day, no matter what. That's about how much I can write in a half hour.

We'll see how long that lasts. Today I actually wrote 2,500 words (though I did it all without looking at the computer screen, to spare my eyes, and it seems to be badly typo-ed.) Doesn't matter, I'll fix it later, cuz it's totally done. A whole story. That is not any of the stories that I promised any of you. Because I am lame like that.

In Sum: Dear AMC, I will never again say, "Hey, American Movie Channel, why don't you ever run movies?" as long as you continue to bring us such fucking stellar programming as THE WALKING FUCKING DEAD, PEOPLE!!! WATCH THAT SHIT!!!

EDITED: To say thank you to everyone for all their support during my bad week last week and for all the well wishes and good luck on the surgery! My Flist rules! Thanks, peoples!
