Embryo of Philosophy

Things that are not fun:

School Curse you school, you are the very bane of my existence. Thank you to the people who gave me advice on bullshitting papers for class. I appreciate said advice very much, I assure you.

I have to stop taking seminars. They're interesting, but they are way too much freaking work.

It's cold! Normally, Colorado doesn't let the date determine its weather (70 degree Januaries and frigid late Aprils), but this time it got word that Fall was starting and got cold. I hate it! I can't manage to dress just right. I'm always too hot or too cold. It's supposed to warm up over the weekend though.

So, after much angst, I finished my fic for matrithon. Or so I thought. I thought my prompt was "Hunith: memories." It turns out that it's "Hunith: secrets." Yeah. You know, normally I'm obsessive about checking and rechecking my prompt to make sure I'm doing it right. The one time I don't, this happens.

Well, I still have a few days, and more fic is always good, right? Especially minor character fic.

Still, dagnabbit.

Something that is fun:

springkink is open for claiming. Lots of good prompts! Bleach, Count Cain, Saiyuki, Yami no Matsuei, Merlin, Revolutionary Girl Utena, all the stuff that my flist loves! I've claimed four prompts, which is over my usual self imposed limit of three, but I just couldn't help myself. I'm still tempted to nab a few more of those Riff/Cain prompts. Please do it so that I don't have to.

Now if you'll excuse me, I clearly have fic to write. (And on a deadline!)

So, as you know, I signed up for remixthedrabble . I was feeling just a little nervous, until a horrible, worst case scenario occurred to me. I can't tell you what it is, it would ruin the anonymity. But I hoped that it would not happen.

You know those stories with twisted genies? Where you make a wish, and it comes true, but in an exact, literal way that is somehow just as bad? Well, that's what happened to me. THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT, UNIVERSE!

The only logical thing to do is to email the mods and explain that I have come down with a rare type of lymph node cancer, and I have decided to spend my few remaining years in Guatemala without internet access.

*SOB* I am so doomed. I will be a horrible disappointment and then ritual suicide will be the only answer.
