I'm...from Earth
LJ has been so...quiet and blah lately! Apparently people have found a life off the internet and I now have zero entertainment. My self-reliance on other people, let me show you it!
+ So I found a Pandora's Box of Castle fic yesterday and seriously spent about 7 hours reading ALL OF IT! Here is the delightful link should you wish to fall down the rabbit hole with me: http://delicious.com/shimmeryshine?&page=1
++ Bonus to that is that I found about five different new authors to read, some even of FF.net! Yes, I'm one of those snobs who thinks only the good fic lives on LJ and Dreamwidth. I'm not ashamed!
+ Also, THIS! This! You guys...I can't even. After the absolute shit this season has been in regards to the Castle/Beckett relationship (mostly because I hear Nathan is being a GIGANTIC ass to everyone on set [evidence: look how many Beckett/Espo scenes they've been doing...also I have a VERY good source])...I rant. This YouTube vid...you guys. I fell in love with them all over again. As characters. Which is where I think I took a leap off the sane train. I started think, "Nathan" instead of "Castle" and being all bitchy when I over-analyzed everything he did. Obsessed? Maybe...but only a little. Anyway, this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvFvxTSzB_I&feature=player_embedded
+I've had some pretty eff-ed up dreams lately. Some involve celebrities, but like, celebs that I don't even really watch...at all! Like, Joel McHale. WTF even? He and I were combating the zombie apocalypse...with some heavy duty weaponry. But then there's the dreams about my crew out here (like I don't see them enough 24/7). One where I was talking to, O...my boss out here, and he was telling me that, "yes, they were going to make me an instructor when we get back stateside, but that my class was going to have EVERY SINGLE PERSON I REALLY REALLY dislike in it." Then there's more dreams with guns (A Remington 870 shotgun, which I was loading with slug rounds) and more dreams with celebrities and the normal people and the awesome houses that I apparently own. But the thing...the really weird thing...is that they are SO vivid and I remember basically ALL THE DETAILS. So, where my dream people at? What does these even mean?!?
+ I've bought my tickets for travel back to CALIFORNIA! I'm not going back until May, but I seriously can NOT stop thinking about it. They still haven't given us a date for when we return to the States, but it should be the first week of April. Is it cruel that I want to start a rumor about leaving on March 31 just to see EVERYONE freak out that they won't be getting April's pay tax free? It's cruel, right? But this is the humor I find in EVERYTHING now. Also, they say that 120 days out here equals about 3 years of my life. Not just mine...all the women! Srsly! They have calculated it out and that's what is for WOMEN. I have no idea what it is for men, since I was SO floored by that number even on the screen. So does that mean my college loans all of a sudden decrease by 3 years, too...cuz that would be the ONLY redeeming factor about that. God, who even thinks about that?!?! Color me all kinds of depressed.
+ I wanna try writing again...something that's NOT Air Force speak or Masters class stuff. So, prompt me with a "Five Things" or that one about a story I haven't written and I'll give you three sentences or, you know...ANYTHING.
