Random Post of Friday...

[ht_murray]

I must really have running on the brain, or at least, been reading too many race reports. I was skimming my flist, saw the headline "Adam's schedule for the UK" and automatically read it as Adam was going to run a 5K.

Bwahaha!

Oh, apparently I'm not allowed to make this post unless I'm prepared to first go back and comment on every single post on my flist, since having time to journal in your journal obviously equates to having time to read for entertainment. Y'know, because being sick, outlining for Script Frenzy, working, writing on half a dozen WiPs, and planning a fundraising challenge leave so much room for just staying in touch. Heck, if I defriended everyone on my flist who never comments on my journal, I'd have an flist of about five people. Boo-friggin-hoo. I'm tired of worrying about what all the other kiddies are doing that doesn't involve me. Bleh.

Erm, okay, I guess I just accidentally mentioned Script Frenzy, but that's the last you're going to hear about it. Not because I don't value your encouragement, but honestly, do all those nanowrimo posts really help anyone finish Nanowrimo? No. So, yeah.

Wow, this post has turned kinda snippy. Sorry 'bout that. I'm actually in a pretty good mood. Funny how moseying on over to LJ ruins an otherwise good mood. Cae sura, sura, I suppose.

LOL, "Dream a Little Dream" is on right now, and Sam just asked Dean, "What's wrong with you?" And I totally linked that in my mind to the video where Jensen's talking about proposing to Danneel. LOL. So, I guess now Sam's supposed to say 'Yes.' Bwahaha.

I've sadly stopped caring about what's happening on SPN and what will happen. I still enjoy watching, but I don't think about it at all except when it's on. I guess that's what I've been wishing for ever since mid Season Two, but it's still a little sad. For what it's worth, I still don't care to hear or read anything negative about it. If people don't like it, why don't they just stop watching?

Wow, this is a whole lotta rambly nothing. I guess I just needed to vent. Yay me.

I work all weekend. I'm sad because my inbox has been glaringly empty for like a week. I'm glad to be back running but disappointed at how slow I feel after a week of being sick. But hey, all my foot pain has gone away. Meh. I dunno why I started this post.

Oh, apparently we can get a bunch of those LIVESTRONG yellow wristbands. I get them free, so I dunno how cost effective it would be to offer them to anyone who wants one, especially since a lot of you live overseas, and I've never sent anything overseas in my life, but hey, if it's always been your life's mission to get one of those wristbands, I can probably hook you up. :/

Whattaya all think of a WiP meme? Like, you offer x-amount as a donation to the charity, for the next scene of a WiP you're following? Gah. I'm just full of terrible ideas. Which is why I failed at sales. LOL.

/end stupid.

Personally, I love rambly posts. You can learn so many interesting things. :o)

but honestly, do all those nanowrimo posts really help anyone finish Nanowrimo? No.

Yes! Someone else who agrees with me on this. I kept finding comments re: nanowrimo on comms that had nothing to do with NaNoWriMo. Gah! Not that I have much room to talk because I post whiny/word count posts about Big Bang, so. But the way I see it, at least I custom f-lock them so that only those who volunteered to hear me whine will see them. I don't share my plight with the rest of the world. Yes, I'm good at defending my own annoyingness. ;o)

As for SPN, I care what happens to the boys, but not to the point that I obsess about it, you know? I mean, I'm glad the show's coming back next week, but it's just a source of entertainment for me every Thursday night. I hate spoilers so I'm just along for the ride, whatever happens. And frankly, I'm still a bit ambivalent about the reality of a season 6. But I'm with you; it annoys me when people tear the show down. It's like fic. If you don't like it, don't read/watch it!

Anyway, fun post. And hey, it's your LJ; you can get snippy if you want to. At least you read your friends page. I can't tell you the last time I even looked at mine. The only LJs I read regularly are the ones I track, like yours. (Wait. Does that sound stalker-y? I swear, it's not.)

LOL. I swear, when I attempted Nano, I was more stressed out about not having anything to post for my flist to see than I was about actually not writing anything. All that did was beat my confidence down further. Nanowrimo should be about you and your story, and that's it. I've ignored all the emails the Script Frenzy site has sent me about forums and regional groups and whatnot. Who needs the distraction?

As for SPN, I do care about the boys, but I find that the more I want something to happen or not to happen, the less I enjoy the show. There are still things I would hate to see, mostly because I've been opposed to them since the first time I saw the show, and some because I got into huge fights with certain factions of fandom over them and cannot stand the thought of any of THOSE people getting what they want. But hey, the more I worry about them not getting what they want, the less faith I have that I'll enjoy whatever we do get, and on a weekly basis, I usually do enjoy every bit of it. So, yeah, I don't think about it anymore except when it's on. I guess that doesn't bode well for any type of fanfic related to SPN, but I've fallen out of love with that ages ago.

Also, ambivalent about season 6 pretty much describes me as well. I love the show, but I hate how much of an emotional drain it's been for all these years, and I'd like to have it all be a thing of the past. But I dont' like the idea of not having any Jensen on t.v. So, I guess I'll deal. LOL.

Anyway, thanks for humoring me. I actually feel better after writing this. :D

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Don't feel bad about not responding to posts. From what I've seen I think most people are finding it hard to keep up with that.

I had been wanting a LIVESTRONG wristband for ages, and finally found one in a store nearby last month, so I got one, if only I had known.

[mini-moue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, god forbid you have a real life and don't spend every second on LJ responding to every single post made.

Oh, I just posted. Respond, bitch! ;-)

Glad you're feeling a bit better, though I like you sick and rambly, it's fun! ;-)

I still care what happens on SPN, I'm thrilled that there will be a 6th season but I'm also glad that it doesn't 'consume' me in a way that was bordering on obsession a while ago. This has nothing to do with me being disilluioned with the show or angry at the writer or whatever, it's just become a healthier enjoyment for me;) Also? I hate when people harsh my squee in a way that's like 'HOW CAN YOU STILL LIKE THAT HORRIBLE, MISOGYNIST, CRAPPY SHOW!! I totally respect anyone who no longer likes SPN but PLEASE don't make me feel like a puppy killer just because I still like it. PLEASE respect my opinion as well, you know??

I already mentioned that I'm donating no matter what but if you offered something cool, I wouldn't say no;)

I still care what happens on SPN enough to read news and vague spoilers, but it's certainly not the same level of obsessiveness as before. But yea, I don't get the people who hang around just to gripe after every episode. I guess maybe they feel miserable and want to make us miserable too?

Glad to hear you're recovering from your cold :)
