I am feeling much less stressy now. And the main computer is back and working much better since it's basically all been rebuilt now. Or so I hear. :)
My laptop has a virus that, in addition to putting popups that won't go away all over my screen, apparently turns off System Restore. I am not familiar enough with how you turn it back on to want to risk using the thing again, so I'm waiting till Dad gets home.
( cut for more DDDD: )
On a less D:-y note, I will find out by the end of today whether I have a job or not. It's only temporary for about a month, but still, it's a job and one I think I can do...

...apparently I should log into my fanfiction.net account more often.
I haven't been getting review notifs for ages, because they all still go to my old O2 email that was inundated with spam and which I abandoned for Hotmail. And I never got round to changing that, because I felt guilty about the Series of Unfortunate Events WIP I dropped when I got into Death Note fandom and... then I forgot. But hey, it wasn't like I got that many reviews on my weird little fics about the Snicket siblings anyway.
Except I've also written Harry Potter ficlets. And apparently back in July, somebody recced me on

...all I really have to say is 'meep'.

Belated meme from
the_gabih
01. Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.
02. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!
1.
Matilda was one of my favourite books as a kid, and still is. And I'm an obsessive reader just like her, though sadly my genius does not come with telekinetic powers.
( If you write 1000 words and Neil Gaiman writes 1000 words, Neil Gaiman has written more than you. )

WIP meme from
nardaviel: When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.
( Guess how many of these will be for the kinkmeme. Go on, guess. )

I have finally given in and got a twitter. And am phoebonica there as well. Keeping things simple. Follow me?

Music Meme
Set your music player on shuffle.
Choose a pairing/character/whatever to write about.
Write a ficlet for the first ten songs that come on – you only have the amount of time of the song. No going over! (NB: I cheated shamelessly. Still, these are unbeta'd, unedited, written very quickly, and most of them make no sense with or actively contradict the songs. :/ They're all various people from Death Note - it was going to be all Teru-fic but then the first one came on, and - well, you'll see. Warnings for violence, death and bleakness. Um. Enjoy?)

This is, like, half the length it used to be and all flicky and stuff. It actually has a style. I love it.
As seen on TV Tropes.
1. Go to Wikipedia and click on 'random article'. That's your band name.
2. The last four words on the last quote here give you your album title.
3. The third picture along is your cover.
My results: Build to Stock, with their latest album, Traitor to His Friend, and the picture here.

It looks like a tape cover. Very old school.

Second arc Death Note Nendoroid figures! These will apparently not actually be out for ages, but I don't care because EEEEEE CHIBI TERU AND HIS FROWNY FACE AND HIS HAAAIR <3333
Better view of him.
Near and his robot, d'awww.
Melloooo.
Worryingly smily tennis player Light, who is part of the new series too.
As is shocked L...
...and Nurse Misa. Or possibly crossdressing Mello.

On an expression I can't stand. It's pretty, um, ranty. I am going to be strong and not apologise for this. Yes.
Currently waiting for Dad to get back from the hospital. His kidney stone is finally out, yay! He doesn't get to keep it, though, it came out in bits. (Do they still let you do that?)
This is what we saw last night.
"A fire which destroyed a block of unfinished new eco apartments at Garforth may have been started deliberately." At least no one was in there.

Back from the theatre. Blood Brothers was awesome. Something bloody enormous is on fire in Garforth and the news has not yet told us what it is.
Guess mine!
I actually stop talking a lot sooner if people don't keep cutting me off mid-sentence. Plz to remember this next time you accuse me of never letting things go. Thank you.

Put your music player on shuffle, and put down a random lyric of the first 30 songs that come up. Then, have your f-list guess the song title and artist. Once they've guessed, cross off the correct answers and say who got them.
(Some of these are covers or obscure enough that I'll settle for just the songs. Also, I have to confess that I skipped the three songs that came up that weren't in English, because I don't know Japanese or German well enough to quote bits.)
