what I'd like to do!

I'd love to start drawing again. It's been so long that I'm afraid to try--silly, no? I did a quick little sketchlet for a story I wrote and it wasn't bad. Not great, but not bad. I have ideas floating in my head but ever since I started writing (something I really wanted to do when I was a Weeroxy but thought I had no talent for), I've been crippled in that regard. It seems like it'd be easy, just pick up a pen and go to town, but no, I just circle the drafting table like an uncertain shark. I used to love it--used to need to do it like breathing. How does that happen?

I think this summer, I'll look into taking some art classes. Maybe after shading my umpteenth drawing of a bowl of plastic fruit, the drive will kick back in. I definitely need to relearn anatomy, and I'd also like not sit in a class full of retirees and headlong-into-elderly broads like myself, because that way lies kittens gamboling on a verdant swath of clover and little boys in top hats handing little girls in pinafores or what-nots daisies, which that kind of thing always vaguely squicked me. I'm asking a lot of an evening art class, I know. :)

Are you there, friends? It's me, roxy

I like how smooth and quiet it is here. It's not at all like IJ, which feels lonely and empty. Here, it's just restful, I don't feel like I'm alone. I like posting things here better than I like posting at Insane Journal, heck, better than LJ to tell the truth. And here, my friends know who I am. I like that too. :)

I feel awful that I've missed so many birthdays! So many people I'm crazy about too. I must fix this!!

Working on my x-over still. I've given myself a two week limit on all my challenges--two weeks before I withdraw. I'm not overly upset because the stories are good(i know this to be a fact because [personal profile] danceswithgary said my x-over is good)and I'll just finish and post in my home spot. ;)

This weekend I did not do much of anything but try to push my fic forward. I also cleaned out part of the laundry room and will finish tomorrow--dumping things that make no sense to hold on to. I have to do this when my beloved is not here so that he doesn't question every thing I toss. It's not even his stuff! He has the makings of a hoarder, that one. *shiver*.

I treated my beloved to breakfast this morning--rare, because I am as tight with a dollar as Scrooge McDuck. He was surprised to say the least. :)

BG and her hunny-bunny came for dinner Sunday, which was really nice, a joint effort between all of us. She made great mashed potatoes and I made cranberry stuffed acorn squash. Which is pretty much candy masquerading as real food. You can't beat it! All in all, it's been a pretty nice weekend.

Heh. I'm lurking over here until I get over embarrassing myself in LJ. From now on, delete *all* the whiny comments. On the other hand, I got the loveliest note from a non-LJ having person, who delurked to tell me to stop whining in a way that made me squee and gambol!

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the challenges I signed up for. I'm doing okay on my X-over story, thanks *so* much [personal profile] danceswithgary. I'm thinking of dropping the SpNBig Bang. Not the story, just trying to get done by dead-line. Gosh, I used to easily juggle two or three fics back in the day. I've really gotten slow, writing wise. But, I've also grown to be a calmer, wiser, warmer, and more open person.

HAH! Sure you're right. ;)

So, what's happening with my peeps?

For being here. I haven't been good with updating in general. I'm only posting here now to bitch behind people's back. 'Cause that's how I roll. All sneaky like.

What do I want to bitch about? The fact that joining all these comms (i'm member of a ridiculous number) opens you up to fics that just make you want to...scrub your eyes out, take an antacid and sigh, 'cause the subject matter is just plain gross in a very tiresome way. Do you think those folks think they're cutting edge twisted? I remember( dating myself) back in the old days, there used to be wonderfully, artfully, twisted and nasty Clex. These SpN whippersnappers, a few of them that boldly post their kind of boring slimy tales, must think they're the bee's knees. *pooh*

I aughta crib The Story Of O and write it as a J2.

*end crabby old lady rant*

Today I worked a seven hour day--gasp! My word, how does the rest of the world do it? I'm a worn out little nub!

I'm still smarting over my crap review. It's the first review I ever had that I commented on, as they so generously offer. The lead who gave me the review almost fell out of her chair when I said hell yeah, I got something to say. I feel now, having cooled down, that was probably not the best thing to do. Oh well, toujours gai, or something like it. :) At least I kept cussing out of it.

Still kind of reeling over SpN's finale. I'll have to watch it again because I keep picking up on little things I missed before. I love that show--even if it treats anyone without a johnson like crap. At the moment I'm watching a show called Glee, so far, it's kind of cute.
