Stand Back! Arathain is Writing!
Feb. 5th, 2006 10:11 pmI, in my pathetic fangirlish depression and longing wisdom, decided to try and write ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
leaving_fame fanfic. I'm three pages in, and beginning to get this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that it (the fic, not my stomach) is going to get novella-length and messy. And involve poetry. And BPAL, if I can find any excuse whatsoever. This a problem because, to me, the RPG nature of leaving_fame calls for ficlets. Fluffy bits of PWP, and little else. I shall slaughter the fandom, and any hope of ever writing decently again. *sobs*
Meanwhile, my waste-of-time-I-did-this-in-6th-grade-are-you-EFFING-sirius-this-is-college-wtf English essay is almost halfway done. It's simple. But my heart's not in it.

Arathain is Overjoyed
Feb. 3rd, 2006 11:05 pmHOLY MOTHER OF GOD, "TEARDROP" BY MASSIVE ATTACK IS THE OPENING CREDITS SONG FOR HOUSE. I must've seen House eighty-seven times and never heard the opening credits until now. That song is divine, seraphical, bliss in auditory form.
Also, I just saw The Legend of Zorro. Zorro swats a few of the baddies with Democracy-In-A-Box. (That's the box that has the vote slips in it, for you mundane types.) I think that's awesome. There should be a video game of American politics, with all the major players in it, as characters you can choose to be. And the weapons would make sense, like for example; if you're the president, you can have VETO as a weapon, and if you're playing online with other players, you can combine your powers to become the MAJORITY OVERRIDE weapon. And so if you were the president you could like, use the media and other resources to create an obstacle course to try and keep other players from getting together and doing that. The obstacle course would be made up of RUMORS and SCANDAL and PETTY STUPID ISSUES THAT ARE POINTLESS BUT PEOPLE GET RILED UP ABOUT THEM AND TAKE SIDES ANYWAY. And the mods for the game (if playing online) would be the Supreme Court. [insert witty Alito joke or pun here] And at some point, say around the time that most of the players are screaming about how SOME ONE STOLE THEIR FUCKING CLOUDSONGS and running around in the maze, and the president player is laughing maniacally about how brilliant he is at using birth control and babies to control when ppl have sex and who they have sex with and who gets HIV and who says what to Middle Eastern shoe salesmen, the Anarchists and Ancient Greeks can sneak up on him and hit him in the head with their weapon: DEMOCRACY-IN-A-BOX. Or maybe "BOX O' DEMOCRACY" is catchier. To quote Eddie Izzard: "Could be a whole series...... With a lot of complaints."
Heart is being painstakingly repaired. Part of the sutures got fucked up and had to be redone, but it's coming along nicely. With the help of the fic I'm writing.

Oh!
Oh, fuck.
The one sort-of-love-story-soap-opera I ever liked without knowing ahead of time that everyone dies in the end, and it's gonna tear my fucking heart out. I'm gonna go re-read the whole first one over again and see if it makes me feel better.
I'm never gonna get any homework done. Ever.`

Also: Wifeypants, the ball is in your court with the paid account renewing, cuz there's no work for me at the tax service, and pretty much no way I can come up with the money before the 18th. And even if I had 45$, the $208 I owe the library (Shuttup!) starts collecting interest at the end of January. If you can't, don't sweat it, just let me know and I'll take careful notes on how we have things set up, and we'll make do with a free account till we can pony up the dough.
