yesterday was the worst traveling day i have ever had. and i travel pretty frequently. i booked a flight with 2 connections because my origin didn't have anything less reaching my destination and because anything that can happen will happen, it did. the flight using the gate before mine from plane one to two ran late because of weather. this mean my first flight was leaving half an hour late. i spent the entire time hurrying gates one to two only to arrive just in time to watch my plane backing away from the gate. i am now trapped in philadelphia. i ask the women, two of which were getting off for the day, for help. the remaining representative managed to get me no a flight halfway home but all the flights for the remaining trek were fully booked. i would go from being trapped in philly to being trapped in phoenix. when i continue to ask if i'm going to have to pay for a hotel she repeatedly dodges the question and finally waves me down to the service counter where i meet cindy b.
i'm not sure why cindy b is in customer service but i believe she enjoys watching people suffer.
she assures me any additional costs, from flight changes to food to hotels will be my repsonsibility. she tells me i should have forseen this and booked the flight for the day before. that these things happen all the time. that there isn't a manager i can speak to but i can go to the service desk in the terminal of my new flight.
enter patricia m. patricia m has a soul. she still wants to help people. she manages to get me in the right state, a three and a half hour drive from from home.
and in the right state, all commuter flights and trains are fully booked but luckily i have some nice family in the town willing to put up with me for the night so i can take the train back today.
so here i sit on the floor of their son's bedroom because i am to anxious to have slept until my alarm.

(Backstory: A week or so back I won a FAKE contest and got the manga series)
So now that I've finished Chapter 1, I decided that I needed to find actors for my FAKE movie headcanon.

Beirut - Le Moribond
(translation from French)
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we were nine or ten.
Together we've climbed hills and trees,
Learned of love and ABC's,Prodigy - Run With the Wolves
You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves while I hunt like a hound
You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves, shout it out loudThe Smiths - Asleep
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone

So I'm reading Vassalord and I really like it
maybe I'm too into yaoi
I'm watching K-Project and I really like it
maybe I watch to much anime
I'm drunk and I like it
maybe I drink too much

SO I'm going with the vmarsrewatch.tumblr schedule to make sure I don't stop functioning as a human being and still go outside occasionally. Also to make sure I'm studying for finals?
Episode 1 - Pilot:
Firstly Veronica Mars is a marshmallow. Why can't I draw? I need to draw this. I need to google this.
Secondly cannot believe I forgot about Backup the adorable dog.
Thirdly about to google 'how to make gifs using GIMP' because there are some moments I need to capture.
(I used to make gifs with photoshop but my version isn't compatible with OS X 10.8)

Side note I made a mental note to do absolutely nothing whilst watching. No phone, tumblr, etc and it made the whole thing much more enjoyable.

I pseudo-decided to make a gifset per episode for my tumblr and just finished the first one.

I wrote an anon snippet for the teenwolfkinkmeme back in October and after a few days it didn't get any comments so I forgot about it.
Well while I was purging bookmarks on my browser lo and behold it has an comment. So now I'm trying to decide if I want to continue on with it, even though I feel bad for leaving it for such a long time.
Since then I have written for a beacon_hills challenge "Write a fic that is exactly 10 words long!" which I'm not entirely pleased with but I had fun with it anyway. I also did the "Create character inspired fanworks. This time for Danny Mahealani only!" and made my first ever fanmix (with cover art). I also did "Look through LJ, AO3 or FF.net to find me fics that fit the themes below." which helped me find a lot of new fics I need to read.
I've also been toying with a Teen Wolf AU that would give Alison a completely different persective on Beacon Hills and the gang.

Also all these amazing and wonderful people made me sig banners for the new beacon_hills round and really I need to work on my photo editing because the things they made are ridiculously beautiful.
My goals for Christmas break.

• keep writing
• make more fanmixes
• stay active in beacon_hills
• run 3+ times a week
• finish 2 books

Today is coming along pretty nicely; I am learning to use Gimp, made my first userpic, entered my second challenge for beacon_hills repping team_argent and I'm having a mini Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon on the couch.
Also I'm obsessed with the banner sig everythingshiny made me.

I posted it anon and if it doesn't get any feedback I'll just let it die as badfic.
BUT I am glad that I grew enough of a pair to give it a shot. I'd never seen a prompt that compelled me to write before but I found this post to be a bit cathartic. The prompt (and more my interpretation) reminded me of a situation I'm going through but don't really now how to talk about.

I officially think I am Xander.

• clumsy
• pining after the wrong person
• great one-liners
