Well I knew it was going to happen and today out of nowhere it seems to be doing so.

I am officially questioning what the fuck I thought I was doing taking on a second job.

I'm totally exhausted mentally and physically (which I know is part of my 3 day diet thing, but the rest is decidedly work), frustrated because I'm almost out of things to do AGAIN and my boss isn't here cuz hey it's the weekend and she and her husband wanted to go hang out which totally makes sense but just makes me frustrated and kinda bummed.

It doesn't help that it's an utterly gorgeous day, and want so bad to be out on my back porch writing and hanging with puppies and just having a weekend.

I did the math and I'm on my 23rd work day in a row.

And that number will only get higher if I want to succeed and pay off my dept.

I know it's worth it. I KNOW it is. And I know I can do it.

But I'm having a hell of a time remembering that right now.

So can yall just help remind me please? Feeling awfully close to quitting and that just is not acceptable. Period. End of story.

Since I've bogged down on the word count after 900 or so today, I think I need something for my scatter brain to play with. Stealing this meme from both morrigans_eve and enochiansigils sounded like a plan!

Tell me about a story I never wrote, and I'll write you a snippet from it.

Snippets will be 100-500 words, unless they're not because I like them too much and decide to turn them into something longer.

Your request should begin with "The one where..."

And I realize I don't actually have a list of fandoms in my interests (I should probably fix that huh?). Here is what FFN notes I've written in before: Mutant X, Harry Potter, Firefly, Sailor Moon, King Arthur, Andromeda, Stargate: Atlantis, Tin Man, Boomtown, Medical Investigation, Batman Begins/Dark Knight, Sky High, Gundam Wing/AC, Robin Hood BBC, Doom, X-Men: The Movie, Star Trek: 2009, Push, Pitch Black / Riddick, Bourne series, Kushiel's Legacy series, Primeval, Clash of the Titans, 2010, Resident Evil series, Magnificent Seven, Terminator, Aliens/Predator, Alice, 2009, Losers, and Tombstone.    Wow that's a stupidly long list... What's worse is I'm pretty sure I've written for more than that here on LJ too. And I know I lurk in half a dozen other fandoms.

But yeah, if there's something you think I might have seen, or something I've talked about, I'll probably be willing to write it!

Why yes this is a Caitybabble post. Why ever do you ask?

1. My whole freaking house smells like bacon due to these little appetizer things I'm making for an office potluck tomorrow. I know those of you who know me best are going "But she can't cook... since when does she cook?" And the answer apparently is now. *beams* Here's the recipe for those of you who like such things:
( Recipe! )
2. I have decided on which FakeTV will become my NaNoWriMo concept (with yall's help of course). And the winner is Taking Eden! http://hiddencait.livejournal.com/10191.html Post Apocalypse in the Texas Hill County (where I'm from and love best!) and religious fanatics with a cast of flat out awesomeness. So there.  Still up in the air about how to do the story telling though - should I stick in a single POV (1st or 3rd?) or doing several running story lines ala Game of Thrones? I don't knows! 

Also on the NaNoWriMo topic - I have uploaded FAR too many icons. They make me happy. *beams*

3. I heart getting mail. I really really do. You know who you are, and they're pretty and awesome and make me smile. Though, dude, I think you tossed in even one more than you told me! What is it???

4. Trick or Treat is in process. I got lots of people coming to my door which is awesome, but it also means that I've got a lot to do lol. I'm doing them as I have a burst of thought for the person, so they'll be done in a completely crazy order probably. Oh! BTW, if you still want to come knock, my door is here: http://hiddencait.livejournal.com/25570.html

5. Soooooo trust me to get hooked on a fandom AFTER IT'S ALREADY FREAKING CANCELLED. *headdesk* But I've done it again. I just discovered "The Cape" on netflix and oh good lord I'm way too attached to this show and totally bummed that it's only 10 episodes. Hell, I'm braving NETFLIX to watch. Yeah, that place that I seriously loathe right about now. Tis sad I tell you.

Basically it's like an old fashioned comic book made into a TV show. It's so awesomely over the top I can hardly believe it. Lots of angst of course, though I'm sad to say the main source of angst is the one part of the show that seems to lose me. They keep his family alive, which is a switch for this kind of plot, but unfortunately, I so totally can't connect to his wife or his kid. Is it bad that I wish she'd hook up with her friend so Vince can hook up with Orwell free of guilt? Le sigh.

Anyway, here - I offer excuses for my minor obsession:
( Hellllo picspam! )
*shrugs* I think I have run out of babble for the moment. My bacon wrap thingies STILL are not done. *headdesk*
