4:03AM - \o/
I'm so proud. I made a webpage using XHTML and my code *nests* and is pretty and makes *sense* and when I finished I put it through the w3.org validator and got 12 errors, and then I went through and fixed everything (honestly Greenie, putting the title within the body?) and then I was VALIDATED and got a little badge and everything! I AM MADE OF AWESOME.
well, it was mostly me but ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
lim pretty much held my hand through all of it and looked at my code every five minutes and SHE is made of awesome, but yeah. me too!
So I'm gonna do this for a little while longer and then I'm going to move on to CSS. Like, I have done a teensy bit of it before but I didn't learn any RULES or anything, I just basically copy/pasted stuff and crossed my fingers. Now I'm gonna learn how to WRITE it! \o/
This is, of course, all part of my master plan to become a computer genius and write software and become a bajillionaire. (what? it could happen!)

Dear My Mom:
Yes, I understand that you are in OMG PAIN, but you really don't have to take it out on me. It would be nice if you took your pain medication, too.
>:(
Love,
Me

(why I am suddenly posting personal things here and fannish things in my LJ, IDK.)
Mom got her MRI results back today, and it looks like she's torn a muscle. She needs to go to an orthopedist, but with her new insurance, first she'll have to go to a doctor an hour away so they can refer her to an orthopedist in the new network. Which means I have to go with her, because she gets lost very easily. I hate leaving the house. :(

9:36PM - my day in one sentence:
I took Mom to get her MRI today, and then sat with her for an hour in a room with loud country music and celebrity gossip magazines.

I just told my 5 yo I would email the Tooth Fairy to tell him not to come get the tooth he lost today. He says it's because he wants to keep it, but a little while ago he was acting a little freaked out and kept telling my mom he could feel a hand under his pillow.

8:27PM - navel gazing fic meme
Gacked from, er, somewhere:
WRITER'S MEME: Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of the top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

Once again I want to reiterate that I will never, ever, EVER sign up for another ficathon or fest with a deadline. Nope, not doing it.
That said, the fic I'm working on now is coming along nicely. I asked for a third extension (*facepalm*) but then realized that unless I wrote 2500 words a day, the fic would not get done. And of course, I cannot write that much a day for more than two or three days in a row. So that fic is getting shelved for now, and hopefully I will be able to get back to it because I like the plot. (as in, it actually has a plot omg!)
So I started over today and I'm half finished and pretty much all it needs now is another day's work and I'll be able to post it. I feel bad for not being able to finish the long one, but I'd rather have a completed, shorter fic to turn in than a half-finished nothing that I can't post at all.
Wow, I'm boring. But, hey, writing! *writewrite*

No, seriously, I'm never, ever, ever signing up for another fic thing with a deadline.
EVER.

10:56PM - writing
250 words today.
Um.
Yeah, that's not gonna cut it. Tomorrow I'll have to try harder.Although, some of you may have noticed how I didn't log on to AIM at all today. See, that wasn't because I was working diligently on my fic or because I was busy; I was just hiding from accountability. Because I'm a coward. And a big fat failure.

3:09PM - stresssssss
My brain always gets fuzzy and my body gets all tired when I'm under stress. It's like I'm trying to shut down entirely. And if I *don't* take a break and rest, I get vertigo.
So far today, I've written two more scenes for my fic, but I'm still nowhere near finished. And, you know, it's due tonight.
Something weird is happening with my arm. Maybe a pinched nerve? It hurts from elbow to fingers, and I don't know what's up. Just my left arm, though, for some reason. It's getting a bit difficult to type without pain.
Mostly I'm just really, really tired. Mega super tired. And knowing it's because I'm stressed doesn't make it better at all.
I think maybe I should take a nap and worry about the fic after I wake up. I hate procrastinating, but I'm seriously fading fast.
I hate my brain.

Well, I made it through the day. Aaaand I'm so tired I think I need to crash. Again, I hope I can wake up early-ish and get some writing done. The fic is due TOMORROW, and ... I don't see how in the hell I'm gonna have it in on time. Or even finished. I ... suck. I've asked for two extensions already, and I just ... I SUCK. *flail*
6:18AM
Today I get to drive for seven hours in the car with my kids. OH FUN.
At least I got some sleep last night. I ended up waking up at 5, and the wrote a little bit of my Percy fic, which ... well. Let's just say it's nowhere near finished. But at least I have a plot? *sigh* Hopefully I can get a lot done on it tonight, and maybe if Mom drives today I can scribble in my notebook and possible get a few scenes done that way.
Heh, I'm thinking about it and suddenly I feel tired again. Stupid brain.
I read the new post from LJ. It's ... okay. If I was still clinging to LJ I'd probably be happy with that. But I'm not totally in love with LJ anymore. It's my horrible abusive boyfriend, and he's crawling to me with flowers and empty promises, just so he can turn around and hit me again next week. No thanks, I think I can do without that.
*pokes at Word*
I wish I could just upload my brain onto the page. That would work so much better than this whole 'writing' thing. :(

6:26PM - boring personal stuff: kids, ex, religion
I am very tired, so I will not say a whole lot here. It's only 6:30, and I feel like it's 3am. Ugh.

Everyone is talking about crossposting with Semagic, and how easy it is, but let me tell you: I refuse to do it. I think the feeds are the best way to go for me. So far I have one at IJ and one at LJ, and if anyone wants to make one at GJ, you're welcome to do it.
I'm only posting here at JF, though. The problem with crossposting right now seems to be all the duplicate posts everywhere. I want to read my IJ flist, since most people seem to be there now, except when I go there I see a whole lot of the same posts I've also read at GJ, at LJ, at JF ... and I don't want to MISS anyone, but I'm feeling like I have to scour through the flists to find the stuff I haven't read already.
It's a lot different at LJ, since many people are there and only there, and they're like 'I'll leave LJ when you pry it out of my COLD DEAD HANDS!' (note to BtVS folks: I almost wrote 'cold dead seed')
I thought about reading all my friends on a feedreader, but that seems awfully complicated and I have no idea what to do there. The other option is to try to figure out who is posting ONLY in particular places and filter my reading list for those places to only view those people on each site, and then figure in the ones who are crossposting in some way and either spread them out over each flist (IJ gets A-G, GJ gets H-R, etc.) or put them all on just my IJ reading filter.
It is all very confusing!
So, tell me, is anyone else wondering about this? Has anyone come up with a solution I can follow? Or is everyone else also confused and freaking out and/or annoyed at all the duplicate posts? I could create a gazillion feeds to read on my JF, I guess that may be the other option. *sigh*
ETA: I do not want anyone to think I mean you shouldn't post or crosspost! I think it's wonderful that everyone is trying to stay in touch with everyone else! I'm just saying I'm having trouble figuring out how to keep up without it being a hassle. This isn't up to ANYONE to make my reading easier, I'm just saying that I'M trying to make the reading easier.

4:31PM - Things to Get Excited About
I've had several posts half-written, but you know what? I do not want to waste my time on the negative. I do not have to waste my time on the negative. And I am not going to! There. Now, if only I can keep to it. I'm sorry for anyone who watches my journal for the latest breaking fandom news, but seriously I need to step away from all the wank. Seriously.
So instead of scathing political commentary and OMGWTFBBQ-ness over the LJ/6A/Fandom hatesex OT3, I give you squee.
1. One of these days, I'm going to make my JF a lot prettier. When I work myself up to it, I will have lim's kick-ass how-to posts.
2. Journalfen.
3. Fanarchive!
4. Sane people who hold me back from wanking and/or distract me with shiny things. <3
5. International Blog Against Racism Week. Links are being collected in the LJ comm and in the del.icio.us account. I have so many tabs open right now!
6. Writing. Talking about writing. Reading about writing.
7. Fantastic mods who are kind and supportive, and totally understanding when you need an extension on your ficathon entry. *facepalm*
8. 500 icons and kick-ass moods. <3
9. SGA Big Bang! w00t!
10. Knowing that VVC is almost here and therefore new vids will be posted soon! See, there are all these squee posts about going to VVC, and I look forward to reading all the con reports, but honestly? I want those damned premiere vids. Stat. ASAP. Now!
An even 10! That makes me squee, too. But I will not add it as a numbered squee, because then the evenness is gone and it would not work. :-P
