WTF Brain???

I get more sleep last night than I usually do and you're all like, "Hi, I will nod off for the first hour+ of work, because obviously I am now a greedy whore." My body is not tired. This is definitely my brain grasping for more Zs.

I wonder if this has anything to do with my dream where I was dressed as Jesus, riding a pony down Hitler Street, and cracking bad Jesus puns with the populace.

Writing Update

NaNoWriMo (due November 30th, so to speak) -- slowed way the hell down. 37,500 words right now, but I wrote nothing yesterday.

Yuletide fic (due December 19th) -- have picked which fandom request I'm covering. Beyond that, still figuring out the details.

Hetfic Holiday Exchange (due sometime after Yuletide) -- again, know which one I'm doing there, but am lost beyond that.

If I owe any of ya'll fic out there, now is the time to speak up.

Dude. I Realize This Now Constitutes as Spam

On a tag from gumboy:

RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.

1. I'd say about 75% to 90% of my dreams involve being submerged in a huge body of water -- usually swimming through it and/or falling into it.

2. I have to have something covering my feet when I sleep. This is a holdover from the first time I saw The Evil Dead and that scene where the girl gets a pencil jammed in her ankle.

3. I'm a gigantic girl. I like romantic comedies with happy endings and cry at the end of When Harry Met Sally. Every. Damn. Time.

4. Not my proudest moment, ( Cut for insensitive behavior of a much younger Jetpack Monkey )

5. I swing off lampposts and leap onto curbs whether people are looking or not.

6. When I'm at home and I stand up too quickly and get dizzy, I steady myself by placing my hand on the ceiling.

7. My first semester at the University of Iowa, I was actually in the Theater program. My Acting instructor didn't seem to think I'd hack it and I really couldn't have agreed more.

8. I had a crush on my first film TA. So much so that I angled myself into a course the following semester with her. She was amused and occasionally annoyed.

9. I quit writing film reviews for The Daily Iowan because I gave How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days three stars based solely on Kate Hudson's participation and I felt compromised.

10. I am afraid of losing control of my own body and have nightmares about paralysis frequently.

I tag... qkellie, midnightfae, theninthdoctor, kittycat22, sarakat, and airawyn.

*Iz Ded from Stabbing*

So, midnightfae and I have found a new place to be roomies together, looks like. Which is excellent for more reasons than one...

For one, I'm apparently dead.

I was at the grocery store with midnightfae, and I ran into this older fellow who also lives at my apartment complex. He said, "Young man, I thought you were dead." To which I thought, "Say what?" He went onto explain -- there was a stabbing at 1 AM last night near my apartment complex and common gossip was that I had been the victim of the stabbing... and that midnightfae was the stabber.

I assume this is because I am the youngest renter in my complex.

So, yes. Looking forward to new place. Do not wish to be dead.
