If I have a nervous breakdown today, it'll be because the monster ficathon entry of dooooooooooom has eaten what's left of my sanity.

Oh, sure. I can do this without playing hooky from work. Riiiiiiiiiiight.

*headdesk*

While I'm at it, anybody else want to do a quick and dirty beta on the thing tomorrow? It'll be about fifty thousand words, hence the "quick and dirty" part. I want to have more than one person beta just in case. (ladybug218, I swear I will get those last two parts to you ... erm, before midnight on Friday. If that helps. *whimper*)

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee. *goes insane*

EDIT: Want a puppy? Four puppies really need homes. C'mon, guys, one of you has got to know someone who wants an adorable, sweet puppy or four. ;)

OTHER EDIT: The July dibs post is up at plan_9_from_lj. :)

My own personal law of computers is that if I'm about to leave for work and I want to print something out, my printer will chose that exact moment to stop working, die, explode, vanish into an interdimensional portal or get eaten by dinosaurs.

You know, just in case you were wondering what I'm doing right now. *kicks printer*

[Poll #522856]

I'm suddenly reminded about how much I need a headdesking icon. You know, considering how much I've done it in the past week.

Dear God,

Thanks for making the phone calls and the email messages die down to a trickle at work so that I can try and finish the ficathon entry of dooooooom. You're a peach. :)

Sincerely,

Dear geographically challenged people,

Hi. I'm kind of annoyed. Here's why.

When you ask where I'm from, and I say I'm from Pennsylvania, I'd appreciate it if you'd refer to this map before you say, "Oh, you're from Philly?" --( This is what PA is )

Thanks bunches.

Sincerely,

Me

So my brother told me the story of how my mom found out about the sex. The whole thing went a little something like this.

Bryan: *in living room*
Girlfriend: *taking a shower*
Phone: *rings*
Bryan: Hello?
Mom: Bryan?
Bryan: Oh, hi, Mom.
Mom: Hey, where did you sleep last night?
Bryan: *long pause* ... in the garage.
Mom: Where in the garage?
Bryan: *long pause* ... on the couch?
Mom: Wasn't your girlfriend on the couch?
Bryan: *longer pause* ... yeeeeeees.
Mom: ...
Bryan: ...
Mom: I'm hanging up.

He tells it better, I swear. *giggles*

EDIT: He also told me about how before he and the girlfriend started dating, he was afraid he'd lose her to his Brazilian friend Paolo who can do backflips. When I was suitably impressed, he gave me this quote in a bad accent: "Yeah, when he wakes up in the morning, it's like, 'Oh, this laundry hamper is in my way. I think I'll just backflip over it on the way to my toothbrush.'"

Remember how my father said that when they cast villains for any sequels to Batman Begins, they should feature Steve Buscemi as the Joker? My brother's response to that tonight was to say that he thinks John Malkovich should play Dr. Freeze.

If anybody's looking for me, I'll be over at Warner Brothers, trying to get my family hired as casting agents.
