It's now 5.58 in the morning, and I sit here catching up on posts with a heating pad on my shoulder and painkillers twirling through my veins. Now, if only they'd work.
Wisteria, I hear you asking, why on Earth are you up and with these accoutrement?
Neck spasms, I reply, sighing and wincing.
Lack of sleep, stress at work, and well, my neck being my neck, have all culminated in lovely hot-ice lances of pain through my shoulder, back and neck.
I think I'll be calling in to work later...

I'm starting my Happy Meme, so...
Happies from yesterday:

* Had a fabulous dinner with my mom and her friends
* Am plotting a get-together with my friend Christina
* Had a really excellent hair and makeup day
* Making headway on the NUMB3RS fic I'm working on (Thanks, Ms. Novel)
* Got a note from a friend I haven't heard from in a while
* Picked up a few extra hours this week

Well, that was random! How's everybody else?

Yes, I have even sunk to looking at YouTube vids for Luke and Mara. OMG, help...

heehee!

But, I had to recommend, this one, it literally made me cry.
She's spliced Film!Luke with shots of Nicole Kidman from "Moulin Rouge" as Mara, and it. is. flawless.

Watch please, if you like, but I have to recommend it so very highly!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far...farfarfarfarfar away....
This little Jedi had a crush.
Why oh why do I manage to let George Lucas' creations suck me back in? WHY?!

Okay, let's jump back a decade or so to when I was reading Timothy Zahn's "Heir to the Empire" wherein he introduced a new character, Mara Jade. I didn't like Mara. She's mean. She's brusque.

She tried to kill Luke Skywalker.

Bitch.

Well, now my opinion has changed a bit on her. Just a little. See, I knew they were gonna pair her with my fave Jedi Knight, I just knew it! I wasn't sure when, cuz Lord knows Luke has the crappiest romantic track record this side of Bespin, but there was just enough angst for the fangirl in me to start posting red flags. (I admit here, I was pissed that a FICTIONAL CHARACTER had found romance. sad, but true.) See, many moons ago, I had written a blurble of Star Wars fic myself. Looking back, it was as drippingly MarySue as you can get just about without becoming Stephenie "spaaaarrrrkleeeeeeee" Myers, but the character I had written was the girl I'd always had in mind for Luke. Not some brash, blaster-touting, foul-mouthed cow from the Empire, oh no!

But then I'm noticing, she makes him happy. He's rather smitten, and amazingly (well, not really. It's Luke, c'mon!) so is she!

And I just have to go with it. Now, mind you, I've been out of the Star Wars fan game for well, about a decade, since somebody let Kevin J. Anderson in to warp the universe. (I love Kevin, don't get me wrong, but dude, take your hands off of my fandom!) It just got way too confusing and I had to step back lest my mind become permanently damaged and tangled in his never-ending bevvy of characters.

So, the other day, I decided to look up Mr. Skywalker and see what's going on in his galaxy, and (SPOILER ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NO CLUE ABOUT THE S.W. BOOKS)




They killed Mara off!
Yes! Yes, they did! I can't believe it! That's so wrong! She made Luke finally happy, and they even had a kid! DAMMIT!!! It's so not fair! What the hell is it that he can't be happy? I mean, for crying out loud, Leia gets to swan around and rule the New Republic with her brood, who okay, is down a couple of members, but at least she's got Han! Jeez!!!!


I totally disagree with this, and I know it's been a while since it happened, but some of us are just coming back in to find this hot mess spread all over!


Ergh! This so chafes my eyebrows!


So, I feel bad for Luke, and I've joined the ranks of the Luke/Mara shippers, just because he got the short straw, I think, and because I'm such a ridiculous romantic. *sigh*

Okay, there's my fangirl rant. Thanks for listening and May the Force Be With You!

I can't believe it's been a month since I've posted! I've been such a hermit lately, but I'm endeavoring to fix that this week. With work being so weird, I've become a complete miser with my time.
I'm trying to get the schedules balanced at work, what with our main manager on maternity leave, so I'm now manager. (yaaaay...) And then all the lovely drama we've had with our District Manager, and trying to appease him, I really haven't wanted to see anyone. Bleah. I do not like this about myself. Do not want!
On a brighter note, my writing has picked up again, and I'm vastly enjoying dealing with my new muse--The Mad Hatter! Oh, now, it's not the creepy little old man from the Disney movie, it's a rather tasty treat that's been re-vamped into a new "chapter" in Wonderland. Alice is grown up, the Hatter has "grown down" and it's really a lovely little romance! So, yeah, that's going well and it's keeping my brain in a more positive area to alleviate the stress. Is it bad that a madman is keeping me sane?
So GameBoy took me out to the movies yesterday with some friends of ours to see "Watchmen." I have to say I enjoyed it. Okay, yeah, it's squishy, crunchy, squinky and every other Dwarf-name you can think of, but it's got some badass fight scenes and it's just really freaking cool looking.
Plus it has Nite Owl.
Who's hot.
Hawwwwwwwt...
(Well, mainly in the suit. Out-of...well, I just really want to fix his hair...) But yeah! Ass-kickery! Pretty boys! Big naked blue-guy and his swinging--er...um...*blush*
On a side note, to all of you out there with children, pleasepleasepleaseplease don't take them to movies like this, or "Black Hawk Down", or anything else that will scare the shit out of kids! (Not including show them body parts they aren't even aware of yet!) Some dimwitted couple from, let's say, the suburbian parts of Appalachia (cue banjo), decided to bring their two kids to the movie. A) They were under 5 years old B) one of them was sick; which I discovered this as I watched Becky-Sue-Mary-Misty-Nell administer an oral syringe of Dimetapp to little Earl-Pickle-Button. Now look, I am all for teaching your child the finer points of superheroes, comics, sci-fi and the like. (I had met the majority of "Star Trek" actors before I was 10 thanks to my mom.) However, if *you* feel the need to drag your kid to a movie about noir superheroes, do you research and learn what good judgement is!
*Whew!* Okay, sorry. It just irks me to see stupid parents. Bleh...
So! Go, see "Watchmen" if you're okay with flying blood, big naked blue guys with etc., etc., etc. and really wicked fight scenes.
And go drink some tea!

I realise I'm probably posting this wrong, even though Novel has been ridiculously kind and patient to coach me through the steps. Meh... After this week, I really don't give a flying squirrel what I'm doing wrong on Teh Webs, Real Life is crazy enough. Sooooo.... here's chapter two of my Valentine Fic...Enjoy!

Eighth World Wonder Chapter 2
( Read more... )

Eighth World Wonder: Chapter One
Author: me, M. Greystone
Rating: pg-13, for now
Notes: The Oracle hands down a ruling, and Leo has a problem with it....

( Eighth World Wonder: Chapter 1 )

"To-Do List" sounds more reasonable to me than "Resolution." It sounds like there's a plan of action that could probably get done, whereas the other term sounds like you're sighing and going "Oh-kayyy, I do it. I resolve to do this better this year....*sighhhhh*"  See the difference?
     So far, though, the two big things I want to get accomplished this year are finish the "Valentine" fic I'm writing (my Muse hit me hard and won't let me go!), and two (and doesn't everyone have this kind of thing on their list?) lose weight and join a gym.  Seriously, though, it needs to be done. I miss wearing my cute panties (not that my current choices are ugly, or I'm not wearing any at all) and a lot of my clothes, especially the vintage stuff that  you have to be smaller to wear. And I'm not.  Plus, on the baby side, it's necessary that I lose weight before I get pregnant, since I found out that being an overweight mother can lead to complications in the pregnancy and be really bad for the baby.  Besides, all I have to do is look at this other girl at work who just had her son, is very overweight, drank Mountain Dew every day of her pregnancy, had a lousy attitude every day, and just generally made herself miserable through all three trimesters.  Now, she looks like crap, is even more cranky, and well....yeah...Plus, she brought him in to our work the day after she had him to show him off.  Hello-o? Stupidity?  It's flu season and he's a newborn; how idiotic are you?
   Gah! Sorry. Got trapped in a rant.
     Anyhoo, yeah.  I might actually post the fic, but I've seen how LJ can be about that, since they were really difficult to a friend of mine, so I'm kinda wary.  We'll see.
       Well, off to find breakfast and clean the house. Wheeee....
      ....and maybe make a To-Do List....

So I had a panic attack yesterday. It lasted from about 6.45 am to technically noonish, but I can still feel it bubbling below my thoughts like a cauldron of something oily and toxic.  I haven't had one, truly, in at least a year.  Oh, I've had a few prickles now and again, but I've been doing well mooshing them down and getting on with my life. 
   But this one wouldn't be mooshed, it had to run its course.  It amazes me, whenever I go through one, how fast it can happen, and how long I can still feel it sitting in me, waiting, dying to take me over again.  It's like this demonic little monster that takes immense joy in my fear and it looks for any way to walk through the heavily-bolted door that encloses my irrational, fearful and illogical side.
   For those that have seen me have one, it truly does look like I'm going insane, when they're as bad as this one was.  My breathing accelerates, my heart-rate escalates, I sweat, I get ghost white, my hands are clammy and they shake, and I start moving and talking very fast.  If you've never had one and you want to know what it physically can feel like (for some), get on a roller coaster, the scariest one you know of, strap in and...tell the attendant not to let you off. Ever.  Oh, sure, they'll close the ride for maintenace occasionally, so you'll get to stop once in a while, but they'll never tell you when they're done working on it, they'll just flip the switch again and off you go! Whee!
   This one was triggered by my usual: I felt sick and didn't know why.  With the joyous combo my body has of endometriosis and IBS, my gastrointestinal system is beaucoup fun sometimes.  So, yeah, I felt lousy, I'm coming close to Girl Week, and the three people who actually know how to handle a panic attack (and me when I'm having one) were out of town that day.  So, my poor husband (one of the three) got to talk me down over the phone, and when he was out of range, I called my mom.  Yeah, wussy, I know, but when they get this bad, I will do almost anything to get it to stop.  
   Oh, and yeah, I've talked to my doctor about how to deal with them, but I have no desire to have to rely on a medication just to control myself, so for now, it's back to relaxation techniques, physical activity, and repression, repression, repression.  
    So, hopefully, this will be the only one for this year, and I can go back to a normal life. 
   Well, as normal as I can get. :)

 So, has anyone else noticed this influx of negativity in our world? Oh sure, the news will *always* be depressing, it's the news!  But it seems that the level of intolerance for our fellow humans, even when we're sure they're from another planet, seems to be dropping at a rapid rate.  People snap easier, yell faster, and just generally are in an obnoxious state constantly.  Manners seem to be on the downswing, too.  
   For instance, how hard is it to get off your blinking cell phone when you're talking to someone in the retail industry?  Maybe this is my bit of intolerance, but it really frosts my cookies when someone can't even disengage the little monster in their ear to say, "Hi."  If I'm in a place or in a drive-through and find myself on my phone whilst about to place an order or whatever, I say to the person on the line "Hang on a sec" and proceed to acknowledge the existence of the person about to take care of me. Think about this, people, be nice to the people who are waiting on you: we're getting your food/drink, i.e. something you're about to ingest.  I'm not saying I've ever sneezed/whatever-gross-thing-you-can- imagine into someone's beverage, but there are ways to exact revenge that harm none but aren't what they thought they were getting.  In the grand scheme of karma, it's small, but it makes me feel better.
    And then there's using your signal to turn/change lanes, etc. It's a little switch right by your hand, not across the car, so you actually can get to it fairly easily, and it saves you nearly crashing your vehicle into mine, therefore saving you insurance money! (wow, it's an amazing concept, and I promise you won't get a horrible disease making that little switch go "click")
    All I'm asking is, THINK before you do anything that involves someone else!  Whether it's just being polite, watching what you say to somebody, or just checking your actions, in the long run it'll make you feel better and you'll help the world spin a little more happily.

OMG, please tell me someone out there watched the new SciFi series "Flash Gordon" starring Eric Johnson ("Whitney Fordman" from "Smallville"). Sweet baby Jesus, I laughed my ass off! It's actually very entertaining (though why they could spring for decent hair extensions for the extras is beyond me), but it's very Canadian and very SciFi Channel, if you get my meaning. Ah well, I thought "Smallville" was going to be a bust before it started, and now I'm quite sadly addicted.
    Well, hopefully he'll save ev'ry one of us...aah-aaah!

If you answered honestly to all these, repost as: No Lying Meme

Crutch-es, rather.
   What do you get when you mix a klutz like me and a staircase? A trip to the ER, that's what! Friday night, GameBoy and I had decided to meet over at a friends' house, where we would return later to take care of their kitties whilst the owners are away, and go out to dinner. So, I grab my purse and keys and head out; next thing I know, I've tumbled down the entire staircase of our apartment and my left ankle feels like it wants to explode!
   Now, I didn't lose conscious and everytingeswerking...(jk) . No, I didn't have a head injury, though I did tap my cheek on the floor and the back of my head slightly when I landed, but except for a brilliantly sprained ankle complete with charming scrape, I'm pretty okay.  My arms are starting to hate me from the mix of a) desperate grab for the handrail and b) using crutches, but GameBoy is taking wonderful care of me and making sure I'm taking my meds and icing my ankle and, well, you get the idea.
   So, sprained ankle, torn ligaments, various bumps and bruises, oh, and I poked myself in the left buttock with my heel on the way down, so there's an exquisite bruise on my arse.
   I know how to have a good time, don't I?  
   In other, perkier news, my in-laws are buying us a bed, a king-sized one, to be exact!  See, it's always been a dream of mine to have a bed large enough to fit me, my man and Manchester United in, and no-one runs in to anyone else, unless they want to. SPRAWWWWLLLLLLL!
   So, Entheos, I'll send your package later in the week, if that's okay, since I wasn't planning to blow $500 on an ER visit when I promised to help you out. I am so sorry! :(  If I can get it out earlier, I most definitely will.
   Thanks also to Ataxia for checking in on me, and I apologise profusely that y'all are having to pick up my slack. grrrrrrrr.
