*sigh* So my laptop - a Lenovo T61 - is apparently broken. The screen no longer works. It's been flickering a little the past week or so...then it got a lot worse yesterday, at which point I brought it to my father's attention (he works for IBM...he's a software engineer, but he assists me with all my computer issues). He told me to wait until it got worse. Yeah...a couple hours later, the screen went black. But, because my dad is MADE OF AWESOME, he went out this morning and bought me a cable so I can attach it to my TV set, then brought that plus my old laptop to my apartment. The problem is that I have some programs on this laptop (i.e. PowerPoint, Photoshop, etc) that aren't on my old one. So I'm currently sitting on the floor, my back against the coffee table (very uncomfortable) because the cable is WAY too short to reach the couch. This is but a temporary solution until my dad decides what we should do next (send it to Lenovo, try the guys at Best Buy/Staples). I leave it in his hands, as he's the resident computer guy of my life. ( Less traumatizing real-life update... )( Fangirl-related info right this way... )And, lastly, a new "quote of the moment" in my "components" section - "I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." ~ Marilyn Monroe Damn straight, Marilyn. I'm with you...

Today, January 25th, 2010...northern New Jersey...it was in the 50's and it poured all day. Really? WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Now...I'm practically a vampire - I lose heat from every part of my body that's exposed to the air...and I *SUCK* body heat out of anyone I touch (God, I miss sleeping next to a male...all the men I know generate heat like it's their JOB). I refer to my hands as the "icy cold hands of death," and know I have a fever when they're at room temperature. My normal body temperature is 97.3 degrees for Christ's sake! As such, I hate the cold. Despise it. With all my heart. I will tolerate it for snow (because I love snow), but I'm the kind of girl who doesn't put on the air conditioning in the summer unless it's absolutely, positively necessary. And when the A/C is crankin', I'm usually in long pants and a fleece. I tell you all this so you'll understand the seriousness of what I'm about to say... IT SHOULD NOT BE 50 DEGREES AND RAINING IN JANUARY. IT'S JUST. NOT. RIGHT. Tags: weather, wtf Current Mood: blah Current Music: "L&O: Criminal Intent" repeats

In an attempt to organize myself, I've decided to make a list of stuff to do. Even though I hate lists. Fanfics I'm in the process of writing: - "Possession" - my X-Men AU fic that takes place in a LOTR-type setting...I'm half-way through the next chapter....epic battle coming up.
- "So Impossible" - just one more chapter left! But I can't seem to get myself going...
- 3 Syfy "Alice" fics, all for the quarterly challenge - one "big" fic, one "what if?", and one "deleted scene." I've started 2 (just barely)...I'm actually kinda excited about them. I'd like to think I have a couple unique ideas that will make people say, "Wow...I never thought of that!"
Also - working on X-Men icons from images I scanned...um...waaaaaaay back when I first created my website. They're mostly Rogue/Gambit/both, but there are a few Dark Phoenix and Goblyn Queen in there. They show much promise. I'm going to try and post them this weekend. There are "Alice" icons on the way as well, but because I entered several of them to two separate Wonderland icon contests (wish me luck!), I'm not posting any of them until votes are in, so I can put them all up at once. So much to do, so little time... Other fandom-related stuff: - "Birds of Prey" is coming back!!! I was never a big, BIG fan, but I do own several TPBs, and Barbara Gorden is one of my fave female comic book characters. *squee* (Special thanks to
lithera for pointing this out). - The third season of "Damages" begins January 25th. It's an amazing show. Really. I was pleasantly surprised by its impressiveness in season one, and didn't think season two could possibly live up to it...and then it did. Bring on season three!
