LOVE IS POISON

So you know the steampunk WIP, the one I've been talking about for the last two months? I finally finished it last night at a really embarrassingly late hour. I proofread it and checked it and sent it and felt pretty good since it's over 14,000 words of original story.

This morning I got up still feeling awesome, and stepped in the shower.

While in the shower I had two ideas for two other stories.

THE PLOT BUNNIES, THEY ARE BREEDING INSIDE MY HEAD!



Have some random Matt Smith. I have decided he has to play Aziraphale in the Good Omens miniseries, though the jury is still out as to who the ideal Crowley could be. But Matt Smith would be just perfect. I have proof:

So eurgh. I'm here with a mug of tea and a thesis that's advancing at snail's pace. The big accomplishments of the day are:
1) I remembered how to write integrals with Latex,
and
2) me and my sister got (almost) all of our Christmas shopping done.

Almost because obviously I couldn't get her a present while she was with me, and conversely she couldn't either. Though honestly neither of us care much since we agreed that presents are a bothersome social convention BUT IF I'M DOING THIS SILLY PRESENTS THING I'M DOING IT PROPERLY, DAMMIT.
So I'm hoping to find out that there's a shop here selling earmuffs, or possibly find her Alice on DVD if mum didn't get it for one of us already. Earmuffs. I'm not calling her weird only because I told her I wanted a life-size replica of Longclaw or a Tardis. (Or a plushie, or something striped like a scarf. But whyyy can't I have a Tardis?)

ETA: After a quick enquiry with mum I think I'm going with the DVD for my sister since it's easier than locating cute earmuffs.
Mum also wanted to know what my brother might want, to which I replied: I don't have the foggiest. There didn't seem to be any interesting books in the bookstore. (We checked.) His only other interest are games, so unless she wants to get him a new game... Me and my sister got him a game too, by the way, because otherwise I'd have no idea.

FFFF I DON'T WANNA GO SHOPPING ANY MORE! THIS IS HELL!

The fun part is actually finding the presents. Walking around for a couple of hours between the same three shops because we live in this sad little town... not so much.
At least with our combined powers we managed to get presents for five (5) different people. Three of which are friends of hers so I was all IDK dude don't ask me, I have problems with presents for my own friends. But we made it and I also got these awesome 30 rainbow-coloured scrunchies that are just I was looking for. I mean, I probably have a scrunchy-eating monster living under my bed, the rate these things disappear. Also while at the bookstore my sister got two new Neil Gaiman books. I approve of Neil Gaiman but we both have huge piles of unread books. Derp derp.

In unrelated news:
Yahoo says they're not shutting down Delicious after all.
But since my bookmarks got imported with Diigo, I'm going to keep both accounts in the meantime just in case. :|

I'M FINALLY DONE!
Fun trivia: I have decided that Bad Romance is the unofficial soundtrack to the fic.
I can't talk about the story now, there's all this ~*~secrecy~*~ thing, but it'll be posted sometime after the 15th at merlin_muses. Hint: mine is the long stupid one.
Just need to get it back from beta #2 (because ffs if I have to write an ehpeek love story I'm doing things properly) and then I can submit it and kick back.

...or not since I'm already busy with my entry for thegameison_sh. It's quite the mood whiplash, going from my usual cracky fluff to a dark fic, but I didn't pick the bloody theme. Meh.
And I have a crapload of books that I need to read, like, last summer.
Oh. And was there a meme that was left unfinished at some point?

Also, photos of last weekend made their way on Facebook. I have red eyes. In. Every. Single. One.


ETA; All sent. The good part is, now I'm so used to churning out 2,000 words like nothing, I sat down and wrote the Sherlock fic and didn't even have to think much about it. I still think it's crap, but at least it's done and I can move on to other things, and hopefully next month we'll get a better theme.

The Monster is going well, but considering I didn't get anything written over the weekend I'm behind with my schedule again. Worst case scenario, I can cut out a couple of scenes, but I'd really prefer not to. Anyway, I'm on NaNo levels right now, 1,700 words only this evening. I'll make an effort to wake up early tomorrow and write. The whole thing is something like 7,200 words now, I can't wait to get OVER 9,000 to crack the jokes. Then I think I'll have to stop being too detailed before I give away which story is mine.

Three more days, maybe I can do it. I'll need some lightning-fast betaing, though. Merlin fandom, why are you doing this to me?
