Okay, I know I should be watching anime, but I gave in to my baser desires and watched the first episode of White Collar and I am completely enchanted by Neal and I think I'm going to watch some more now because, awww, lighthearted and fun is just what I need in a show right now.
That and I can't believe how blue Matt Bomer's eyes are. ♥
It takes me a while to catch up to my flist's trends, but when I get around to it I catch up with a vengeance. xD |

Okay. I really am okay. It is okay that I can't write right now. Just because I haven't been able to do it lately doesn't mean I'll never be able to do it again. Inspiration ebbs and flows, I'm just at low tide at the moment, I will get it back. Freaking myself out about it won't make it happen any faster.
There is no reason to freak out over my bank account. I live pretty simply. There is nothing so pressing that it can't wait until January, except for the things that happen in Plattsburgh, and just because I'm there doesn't mean I have to spend money. If I work for my parents tomorrow and Thursday, I can make $40, and that can probably tide me over until Christmas as long as I don't do anything stupid or try to get presents for people. My friends like me just fine without getting anything from me.
My GPA for the semester is going to be a 3.7 when everything comes in, I have nothing to worry about there, at least. Next semester is going to be fine.
I look cute. My haircut is fine. I carry my weight well. Fretting about my appearance is counterproductive. I'm going to give myself wrinkles if I keep frowning at myself in the mirror.
I really have no reason to feel bad or panicky or stressed out right now. Maybe if I keep telling myself those facts, they will sink in and these feelings will go away. I would really like them to go away now, but I will settle for them going away by Friday. I refuse to stop myself from being happy, damn it. |

My computer really hates doing basic things like, uh, playing DVDs without skips in the audio track.
I'm going to finish the second DVD of my Yuletide source, then watch last night's Big Bang Theory, then go to bed because blah, tired.
I feel kind of... lazy, watching anime dubbed instead of subbed. Like I'm doing it wrong. xD
The big problem with my Yuletide prompt is that it half banks on a character who doesn't get a lot of focus, so... every little scrap of characterization is important. And the scraps are little.
I really want to do a good job on this fic, I just have zero ideas for a plot and I can't even remember the last time I wrote f/f fic and I have to finish it by Friday or I'll be stuck writing it while I'm in Plattsburgh and I don't know how well that would turn out, although drugs plus my creative process usually turns out amusingly.
I should probably look for fic in the fandom, too. Because reading what other people do is always a good thing. And I should try to dig out my manga, except god only knows where THAT is...
Why did I even offer this fandom? Stupid impulses, I should have stuck with things I've written before or have a current grip on. *headdesk* |

Gel + hair = not actual spikes, I'm going to need a kind of gel that isn't "curl-scrunching gel" to obtain those, but it's something:
( what, exactly, I will let you decide )
I think it is much too short in the front, but that's just my fear of a big forehead talking. I keep wavering between loving it and thinking the whole thing is just beyond reasonably short and back again. I'm sure I'll settle on loving it after a couple of days. The fact that you all think it's cute helps a lot. xD I am a sucker for public opinion, after all.
I gave in like you all knew I would and here's my thread on the Holiday Love Meme. I'm going through and leaving love all over now and I'll keep doing that when I get back from my appointment with Lisa. :D |

Oh. Oh my. I just realized that my hair is actually short enough for me to spike it up if I felt like doing so.
This was not my intention but it's a damn nifty side benefit. i've kind of always wanted to be able to spike my hair! Pardon me, I have a bottle of gel and a mirror to go play with :D |

Things Which Are Awesome:
1. I zipped through my Forensics final, as I knew I would.
2. I have 20 workouts so I will be getting at least a C in my phys ed course, SUCK IT, REQUIREMENTS
3. My mommy got me a surprise haircut as a finishing-finals present. ( it's.... really fucking short. )
4. Somebody AWESOME got me these sweet fingerless gloves and an iPod cover to match! Who did it? Thank you, they are the CUTEST ACCESSORIES EVER. My hands are owls, ftw! ♥!
So even though I sat by a kettle for three hours without being able to ring (because standing inside at Tops means no bell) and my uterus is full of tiny dwarves with pickaxes, today basically wins. :D |

Cue my nightly complaint about how sleeping is hard. :( If babies can do it and animals can do it and stupid people can do it, why can't I do it? |

Getting this one in now while I'm thinking about it... I love this song, and it shouldn't be hard to see why.
Sarah McLachlan - Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
And where there is sadness, joy.
O divine master grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it's in dying that we are born to eternal life. |

I am watching Land of the Lost with Mom, Julia, and her boyfriend Jake. Seriously, this is what Anna Friel is doing after Pushing Daisies? The world is a stupid and saddening place, my friends. |

Yeah, I've been distracted, we all knew my attention span for this was shaky anyway. This time, Christmas music, since I missed the two-weeks-until mark.
Death Cab For Cutie - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here witha me
Baby please come home
Glee cast - Last Christmas
"Merry Christmas"
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Sufjan Stevens - Star of Wonder
I call you
From the comet's cradle
I found you
Trembling by yourself
When the night falls
Lightly on your right-wing shoulder
Wonderful know-it-all
Slightly where the night gets colder
Oh, conscience,
Where will you carry me?
I found you
Star of terrifying effigies
When the night falls
I carry myself to the fortress
Of your glorious cost
Oh, I may seek your fortress
When the night falls
We see the star of wonder
Wonderful night falls
We see you
You gotta love Sufjan Stevens, man. I don't care who you are, he's just awesome. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. Don't test me, I have ninja skills. |

| ~the case of the missing chips~ |

Twice today I have had a family member come into my room and ask if I took the salt and vinegar chips. I did not.
I just closed my bedroom door, and what do I get but a strong whiff of salt and vinegar... I know they aren't in here unless the cat brought them up for a late-night snack. I wouldn't put it past him-- he did eat french fries yesterday.
If it wasn't me, and it wasn't the cat, then I think the chips have evolved into mobility and are hiding out somewhere on this floor of the house. Trying to make it as far from the kitchen as possible, perhaps.
For all the Supernatural I have been ingesting recently, I am surprised that last night is the first time I dreamed about my family being hunters. We weren't very good at it, either. At least none of us died! (other people, sure, but none of the Cregans.)
It was kind of a fun dream, though. :D |

Kettle season always leads to me watching unexpected things with my family. First it was Supernatural with Mom, today it was Boondock Saints with Dad. I was surprised that he didn't complain about how much swearing there was. xD
So I've spend my entire day so far counting change. I really, really hate pennies, I don't think I've said that yet this year but it's still true, I hate them, they're stupid, everything should end in 5 so we can just deal with nickels and dimes and quarters.
I plan on spending the rest of my day on fic and fanvids, like yesterday and the day before pretty much. I'll go back to having a semblance of a life tomorrow. Today, I am nothing more than a bored fangirl with the internet at her fingertips and time to kill. And that's a dangerous thing. |

Dates I Am Excited About:
December 14: my final final exam
December 15: my last appointment with Lisa this year (PS, SELF: RESCHEDULE WITH DR MEHRHOF)
December 18: ~going back to Plattsburgh~, seeing my little brother graduate college, seeing all my friends for the first time in five months
December 25: (this is so dorky but:) Sherlock Holmes! yays!
December 27-ish: going back to Plattsburgh, round 2
January 1: I am damn well going to kiss someone at midnight if I have to liquor up some poor sap to make it happen so be it, my mouth has been lonely for like eighteen months now, this is my big goal for the new year: getting a kiss
January something single digit: potentially seeing my great-grandfather, which involves going to Maine which can be a drag but I really do miss Poppy
January 10: my Sunday classes start
January 15: taking a train down to Schenectady to meet up with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) l_loire, natural_intel and loveotter, in an awesome middle school reunion Januarymas party
January 25: my weekday classes start
This is by way of reminding myself that it is stupid to be depressed when all this cool shit is going to happen soon! And also something of a kick in the ass for myself because I officially have five days to review all my Yuletide canon and get significant progress made on the fic I haven't even started yet. Thank god I wasn't stupid enough to sign up for other fic exchanges, I would be a self-doubting wreck if I had more than one thing on my plate writing-wise at the moment.
But I don't, so I'm not, so awesome. :D |

Is there anything quite as nice as reading a book cover to cover in the tub? It's so relaxing. :) |
