Jimmy Stewart, I love you.
Dec. 16th, 2012 11:32 amWhat a lovely Sunday so far: Yuletide fic coming along slowly but surely, The Shop Around The Corner on TCM, my lips with Mac's Russian Red kicking ass all over the place, and a promise of booze after noon to help me write better. And plans for baking and gift wrapping.
I think I'm almost officially at the point of not giving a fuck about my old journal. By which I mean, I'm considering linking this one to it and crossposting in some way. Or going back to my old crossposting ways...
I'm not going to do it yet, obviously. Even if I really want to, I'm thinking not until 2013 at the very earliest. Probably not until I get back from Panama in late January. That way I can be absolutely sure before I do something I can't undo.
The Yuletide fic is coming along. I'm only paragraph in, but, you know, I've started, which is the hardest part. And looking at a paragraph and thinking how little 1000 words is, I'm definitely a bit soothed. Then again, I don't want to be the bitch doing the bare minimum, you know?

Dear creeper who tried to herd me onto the bus tonight by grabbing my ass and forcing me in front of you: WTF. You are what's wrong with THE ENTIRE WORLD. The only reason you still have kneecaps is that I was too stunned to kick you in them.
Dear Yuletide fic: I don't suppose you feel like writing yourself? I'm just so tired. But I badly want you to be done because I know you're going to be awesome. How could you not be awesome? I am psyched to proofread you. Could you at least get youself to that point?
Dear self: I very much admire your tenacity in trying to pull off red lipstick at least one day a week for the last 3 weeks. You're having doubts, I know. But persevere! Hey, at least no one's said anything about it, right?... unless that's a bad thing...
Dear Semagic: How could I forget that you exist? Now I remember how much fun it is to post to a journal!

Hey, big spender!
Nov. 3rd, 2012 04:12 pmSo, my mom made me go shopping with her last night at a fairly pricey store from which she'd been given a giftcard. She *made* me, because she wanted my opinion, which was flattering.
But then, once we got there, I was absentmindedly petting this grey knit/rabbit fur shrug, and the sales clerk goes, "Oh, I have something better than that!" and comes back with a beautiful golden-coloured knit/rabbit vest. I knew right away if I tried this thing on, I would fall in love have to buy it.
So then my mom *made* me try it on.
I now own a long golden rabbit vest that makes me feel like I'm the lead singer of Rilo Kiley or something. It's probably the coolest thing I've ever had on. And it goes with everything! You can put it on over a t-shirt and look badass. And it's warm. And fuzzy.
And then while I was waiting around for my mom, the clerk told me I looked like Adele.
Shit, this woman knew how to make a sale.
Thank God for credit cards.

Lipstain! Who knew?
Oct. 10th, 2012 08:50 pmTurns out the internet was right about Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Lip Stain. It's amazing! I have one of their old marker stains, and it's really drying, to the point of being uncomfortable to wear.
Well, I just got home from a bit of a cosmetics spree, and a Just Bitten stain in Precious found its way into my home. I tried it out, and it's fantastically lush and even a bit plumping (slight mintiness to it). I haven't had it on long enough to comment on the wear time yet, but other reviews I've read say that after the original glossiness wears off, the shade remains in true "stain" fashion. Awesome.
Also purchased: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe, Sally Hensen cuticle balm, Hard Candy makeup removing wipes, and some various creams and potions.

Yuletide yay!

yuletide nominations came through and all 3 were accepted (although Room took a while; I was worried). Strangely enough, I narrowed the list down to these three, but they all came to me quite late in brainstorming. Also, I may have already come up with a couple of "test" requests for each of them.
✔ Room - Emma Donoghue :
Characters
✔ Jack (Room - Emma Donoghue)
✔ Ma (Room - Emma Donoghue)
✔ Young Adult (2011) :
Characters
✔ Mavis Gary
✔ Matt Freehauf
✔ Sandra Freehauf
✔ Buddy Slade
✔ Ramona Series - Beverly Cleary :
Characters
✔ Ramona Quimby
✔ Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby
✔ Howie Kemp
✔ Henry Huggins
Now if only someone would nominate Breaking Amish... oh, and the Fantastic Mr. Fox!

New laptop, new journal. If I'm suddenly following you and you start to wonder if you knew me in another life, just ask.
I have no real idea what sorts of thoughts and works I'll be posting here, but I'm hoping to get back into fandom at some point. Although I'm not exactly in league with what's popular lately, so I may become one of those fandom hermits whose caves I used to lurk in. That might be cool.
New lappy is very sleek and light, but unfortunately its touchpad also likes to be extra sensitive and zap what I'm writing. So I'm off, until I have worthwhile content and adjusted settings!
