As of last night, I reached my rpwrimo goals. The biggest challenge for me was actually reaching 30,000 words in everything but my THY stuff, and I succeeded! Of course, I went on a bit of a writing spree yesterday and wrote more words in one day than I have on any other single day this month. And it's the only day that I've gotten at least a tag or journal written in every game I'm in.

I'm glad to have met my goals because the next week and a half need to be spent on school stuff; today I need to concentrate on getting this reading done so that I can actually write the paper that I need to. And once the reading is done, I'd like to at least work up some sort of outline for my Shoah project.

I can do this. I think.

Drabbles. Please claim one of my characters and then pick one of your characters. Then choose one of these heavily modified prompts and happy holidays.

SLIGHT CLARIFICATION ON THE RULES. I am only taking one per person, and if all twelve get taken than people can start requesting a second round. (i.e. I'd potentially do two silent nights, one for Character A/Character B and Character C/Character D.)

EDIT: I totally added more since edmee is awesome and thought up more.

1. fa la la la la
2. of brightly-colored baubles
3. you're a mean one, mr. grinch. Brad/Jace, puja
4. there's no greater gift than friendship.
5. chestnuts on an open fire
6. when the clock strikes one
7. first snow - let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Mary/Kate, chthonian, COMPLETE
8. walkin' in a winter wonderland
9. should auld acquaintance be forgot
10. there'll be much mistletoeing Briana/Lincoln, edmee, COMPLETE
11. silent night
12. "bah," said scrooge. "humbug!"
13. the 12 days of Christmas
13. how i wish that it would snow
14. full-blown four-alarm holiday emergency
15. can i refill your eggnogg?
16. they invented the art of giving christmas presents.
17. a cluster of beautiful winter roses
18. in front of all this treasure, the wooden shoe.
19. listen to the fireplace roar!
20. thou shalt find the winter's rage
21. you better not pout, i'm telling you why
22. come and trim my christmas tree
23. in a one-horse open sleigh.
24. then one foggy christmas eve..
25. the bells were ringing out it's christmas day!

Today was the second day this week that I dropped my phone behind my bed. THIS TIME it wasn't under the headboard, so it's stuck in the inch gap or so between the bed and the wall. I've been trying to clean my room so that I can actually get the mattress and books off of the bedframe so I can move this heavy piece of shit. It's not going so well. I think I might be sans phone tomorrow. Fuck I'm awesome.

I have my phone now and the bed is a good 3 inches away from the wall in case this happens again. My room isn't REALLY clean, but 90% of my clothes are back in my dresser. Tomorrow is cleaning the crap off of the floor and MAYBE vacuuming. And laundry.

Give me your PBs who look like gutter punks. Thanks in advance.

I have projects due. And finals coming up in a week that I need to study for. And next weekend begins the "OH FUCKING HELL I WILL FOREVERMORE HAVE THE NUTCRACKER OVERTURE STUCK IN MY HEAD UNTIL I DIE OF OLD AGE. I WILL BE ON MY DEATHBED, I WON'T RECOGNIZE MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS, BUT I WILL KNOW THAT RICHARD BURTON WAS BECKET AND PETER O'TOOLE WAS HIS KING, AND I WILL BE SINGING THE BLOODY NUTCRACKER OVERTURE OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL MY HEART GIVES OUT" time of doom.

*deep breath*

Okay, so. The closer it gets to deadlines, and the busier I am, the more I need to be doing multiple things at once, because if I try to concentrate too much on one thing, my head will asplode. And I rather like my head. It's a good shape. I'm quite attached to it, really.

SO. I'm not promising I'll get these done OMG RIGHT AWAY, but I will work on them when I seriously cannot stare at textbooks or notes or studies or (OMG WTF WHY DID MY SCREEN JUST BLINK BLACK ON ITS OWN, THE LITTLE LIGHT WENT OFF, AND THEN JUST AS SUDDENLY IT WAS BACK ON WTF JUST HAPPENED?!) lesson plans or makeshift tests that I have to make up that don't have to do with anything at all but just to prove that I can make shit up, and THEY WILL POSSIBLY GET DONE BEFORE WE ARE ALL OLD AND GRAY. IT IS A VERY LIKELY POSSIBILITY.



(.... sorry, I got a Mountain Dew at work and was surrounded by hyper excited cheerful kids and I think some of that rubbed off on me)

ANYWAY. THE POINT.

I is thief. Or copier. Or something. Whatever. Pick a pairing! I have to play at least one of the characters. I'd prefer it if it's characters who actually interact unless you just want something that's absolute and total complete crack. Unless you specify, I'll assume that couples are shippy, friends are friendly, family members are family-ly, Alice/Dorcas is Hot Sexy Crack, etc.


Prompts:
1. fa la la la la
2. of brightly-colored baubles
3. not your average Douglas Fir
4. "You can't catch me..."
5. chestnuts on an open fire
6. thrice as nice
7. first snow
8. on the rooftop
9. horseless carriages will have to do
10. far too early
11. take your pick
12. surprises
13. hollow

Prompts from here~

OMGGGGGGGGGGG

Hufflepuff loss today, and Corrie is very upset. It would've been easier for her to take it if her mum hadn't been watching. But she doesn't realize that Meaghan really does love her unconditionally, so she's expecting something like, "You, Disappointment! You are hereby disowned! Away with you!" She doesn't know her mother as well as she thinks.

And Meaghan doesn't know her as well as she thinks either, to be honest. They're both going to be surprised, but Meaghan will be a bit more horrified than anything else. She has no real understanding of how much she's affected her children. Sigh. I wish she didn't have such a hard time communicating and being supportive. But still, no need to run off to Zimbabwe, Corrie.

Tequila!

My hair is way more black than I expected the dye to be.

Project: Do Apps Over Thanksgiving Break is turning out to be a total bust (I already have ideas for a second Dreadcharacter, this is bad). Also, I do not have enough plot. steamtrek and fleets people who want to hash anything out, drop me a line here, and I will creep on your concepts and get back to you asap! :>

Also, regarding my schedule: I am starting a daily dose of Ambien at 11:00 p.m. CST, so I will be out of commission from that point every night for the foreseeable future. However, I shall endeavor to be around more during the day, and I am always reachable by e-mail!

P.S. I promise to get back to each and every one of you telling you why your characters are awesome. It shall be my Thanksgiving present to RPdom.

So I was going to write this lovely happy entry today about how this morning, teh boy came in from checking on the dogs across the street and then climbed into bed and was FREEZING COLD and how I was yelling at him for being a sparklepire and then started pondering how the idea of sharing a bed with someone who is always FREEZING COLD and never ever gets warm could ever be even remotely sexy, BUT

I'm too rageful to do that because my editing client (for whom I spent two days working through his ridiculous chemistry paper on chicken selenoenzymes and hepatocytes and blah blah blah it was like dropping my eyes in HCl) refuses to take an hour out of his weekend to chat with me about the editing suggestions like he agreed to do before he sent me his paper because he has to "prepare to examination."

I e-mailed my professor and he was like, "No, you have to chat with this guy or else you fail" so I'm kind of irate right now and hating people.

Advert thoughts? Also yes my slogans are lame, I'm not really the linguistically creative one of the modteam lol. Problems with sizes? colors etc.

( don't click, iphone users. )

I really like the 2nd one, the retro one. usually when i follow tutorials they turn out kinda crappy when you change the word but this one looks ok i think. The grass one took like 3 hours though i'm so silly.

I had a dream last night two people wanted to hold James Proudstar at mh.

I am so disappointed to wake up and find that's not the case.

Life is quieter when Mom doesn't have five pies and sixty rolls to bake. But I'm still going to have a dang hard time keeping up with my tags, I think.

It's really interesting to see the difference between what Teddy and Victoire want. Or what they think they should be doing to prepare for the baby. Teddy's focused on working hard to make money, and doing his part to provide. He doesn't understand the point of the "baby things," and he doesn't know what Victoire wants, so he's leaving that to her for the most part - although I think he said something a couple months ago about having found curtains, but he obviously didn't show them to her. Maybe he went over to talk to her about them and found she'd already bought something completely different, so he was like, well, it was apparently the wrong choice anyway, so I'd better just stay out of it.

I have heard that men (sometimes) work long hours to show their love, because that work means more money for their families. It seems like that's what Teddy's doing here. And I intended to have him go through a bit of "I'm not ready for this" panic, partly to understand his father better and partly because, well, he's only twenty-five. Of course he's panicking about being tied down, and worried he's not good enough to be a husband and father (even though he has always wanted that... eventually). But it's interesting to see both sides and understand both sides.

stethoscopic has made me excited (!!!) about RPing in an Anticipating of Plans type of way, which is new given that all my Neo plots are making me excited in a Tinged With Melancholia type of way -- it's rather exhilarating to fall into a new world tits over heels and exercising new muscles in the application process. After a break to respond to scenes and the like (HI chthonian AND faeriexlights, HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU), stupa shall be wrested into submission with wicked amounts of enthusiasm. Hello, Classical Archaeology, and thank you for finally being somewhat useful.

In other news, I made a delicious pumpkin cheesecake that is actually a fat lot better for you (HAR HAR) than usual recipes. It is basically like the baking gods said hi, Allison, you can make decent things for the holiday season. OM NOM NOM.

Not too bad! I'm not sure yet if I'll reach 30,000 at my not THY stuff, but we'll see! Either way, it's been a pretty good month, I must say.

Today I need to go have my car inspected by the insurance company and I suppose I should try to get started on homework for Monday. But for now, I've had leftovers and am watching Hercules and plan to take it easy. Hooray!

Also, thanksgiving yesterday was a lot better than I thought it would be. Except then I fell asleep far far too early last night. It made me sad.

Okay, I'm off to work, and I think I'm going to brave the mall to see if I can't find some more sweet Christmas presents for my loved ones after work ~3. IDk/C if all of the sales are done. Friday's really all my only day to do it.

Plus if I don't spend all of my money on other people I might spend it on me, which is stupid during Christmas.
