Knitting needles! *flail*

[beeinmybonnet]

The autumn break is now over; it's back again to school tomorrow. *sad*

I'm not fretting over the Clandestine, Nondenominational Holiday Friend Exchange or rs_small_gifts yet, but just give me time but I'm starting to worry about my and usomitai's house_bigbang-fic. We've finished it and have started on the editing, but it still scares me. It's so long, and it's silly to think that, because obviously it's long, it's a big bang fic, but it still scares me. Note to self: never write a 20 000+ words long fic again. *sadder*

I'm trying out some new pills, Equasym, that will hopefully help me with my constant tiredness. Hitherto, there has been no significant change other than that my insomnia has gotten worse. My melatonin pills have worked brilliantly for the past two years, but it seems like Equasym neutralize them or something. In any case, instead of taking my fair time falling asleep and then sleep relatively peacefully, I don't sleep at all. It doesn't matter that I'm so tired I'm feeling sick and have a headache; I just won't fall asleep. I need my seven hours of sleep, or more, otherwise my body and mind go haywire. I WANT SLEEP, FOR SOD'S SAKE. *bloody miserable*

...

No, I can't allow myself to wallow in self-pity; then this would look like any teenager's journal, and not like a madcap's fandom one. Sorry for the rant.
Now, onto much, much happier subjects:

I saw Transformers with my brother yesterday. It was quite alright, even rather charming. I particularly liked Bumblebee's "dating tips" in the beginning. *g*

Oh, and this is made of awesome:


Excerpt from this article.

Because you actually feel quite ridiculous. You've got a knitting needle in your hand, and you're threatening someone's life with it, you know.

Aw, David! ♥ You are brilliant, even with your actoresque filler words! *cuts and pastes*

... Can someone iconize that for me? Pretty please? ♥ I'm willing to write ficlet or draw or both or whatever you want just have this iconized.

Awww, don't worry! :< We'll get through it, and I think once you've gone through *one* big project, the next ones aren't as daunting (I feel a lot better this round of bigbang now that I've written some three fic of that size than when I *first* tried for a 20,000 word-er. Seriously. I nearly died with my first one, and now? It feels so prosaic).

Editing hasn't been painful so far, has it? ♥ We've done the sweat part, I think, of thinking and planning and wrangling-- now it's more a matter of patience.

Anything I can do to help motivate you? Prizes of some sort for getting through chunks of the edits? ^_~

Re: quote: LOOK, NEEDLES CAN POKE YOU IN THE EYE, THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS. ...In fact, I'm pretty sure I dreamt last night that someone tried to attack me and I defended myself by poking one of their eyes out (with my fingers, no wand). They kept on coming after me anyway. D:

You can promise me you'll beta my two challenge fics! :D

Alright, I'll be serious. What I am worrying about is classic Anna-behaviour: I see a giant load of work and start to fret. I can't see that I'm doing a little at a time; I only see the whole amount and go "... OH SHIT SNAP."

Re: quote: ... AW, BELL. THANK YOU SO BLOODY MUCH; NOW I WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE THAT SCENE AGAIN WITHOUT THINKING LUPIN IS GOING TO POKE PETTIGREW'S EYE OUT, BY MISTAKE, WITH A KNITTING NEEDLE, AND IN A HIGHLY ENTERTAINING MANNER. THANK YOU. D:
Tough that dream does sound like a scary one. Not to mention squicky. *shudders*

...So your reward for editing is to receive more editing?!?! X3 I mean, I'll beta them, sure, but wouldn't you like something more treat-like? :D

We will conquer a little bit at a time. It's not that much, after all, just a bit of editing here and there~.

I THINK DAVID CONTRIBUTED HIS FAIR SHARE TO THAT PARTICULAR IMAGE; THE BLAME IS NOT ALL MINE.

...So your reward for editing is to receive more editing?!?! X3
That... sounds like my type of logic, yeah. :D But I feel so much more secure and calm when I know that I have someone who I can dump beta-needy fanfics on. *g*

Alright, if you say so~ I'll try really, really hard not to have an anxiety attack.

YES, BUT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO MENTIONED THE EYE-POKING.
...
ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT. FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS, THE ULTIMATE WEAPON WILL BE REFERED TO AS "KNITTING NEEDLE".


Also, I don't want you to fret, but I'm feeling really tired today. I will show up for RP, and I will contribute, just... well, I just want you to know if I'm not as talkative and cheery as usual. But who knows, maybe my tiredness makes my brain less scattery?

I whipped this up in about five minutes, so it's probably not any good, but whatever. Also, for some unknown reason, there was some ugly white border around the icon, that needed to go. Which is the reason it's not exactly 100 x100.

Oh, well. Enough talk. Here goes:

Oh, oh, oh! *flails*

THANK YOU! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! ♥ So, is there anything I can give you in return? A ficlet? A drawing? Being spared of hearing my insane babbling and flailing? *g*
