If we could see beyond the shore

\o/ Except none of that was actually written today. Yep, I totally slacked off and watched Paranormal Activity instead. Go, me! Oh well. I'm off tomorrow so I guess I can just play catch up with my word count then.

So my boss got bitched out today by our DM on my behalf. Because even though I'm suppose to be spending 35 hours a week in my department, I've only been getting 32-33 hours a week and two-three days are spent on register, which means that my back room is not in the shape it should be.

And we got a truck today and I had four buggies of stuff outside my apparel room and DM shows up and says "What's all this?! D: D: D:" Dude, we just had a massive truck, you stupid fucktard, this is my freight. You know. The shit that I've got to get out, even though you want me to get all of the fall/winter shit clearance that's packed up?

I am displeased, guys. VERY DISPLEASED. I've got 40 hours next week (because this is how it goes: payroll is cut back again. And again, and again. We get behind. DM shows up and is unhappy. Gives us better payroll for a couple of weeks. Then payroll is cut again. I think you get it). Unfortunately, on Saturday (HALLOWEEEEEN~) I have to work 8-5. I was going to dress up but, uh, guess not. My costume is too hot to wear and work for that long. :(

However, NaNoWriMo starts in a couple of days and I'm feeling ALRIGHT.

SO. I'm actually going to participate in Yuletide this year (first time and I'm scared!). Fandom nominations are up and I nominated Here is Greenwood, Hellboy (movie), Zombieland, Let Dai, Spirited Away, and Petshop of Horrors. A nice mixture, I feel, and FUCK YEAH, ZOMBIELAND.

Also, the NaNoWriMo site is up! My profile is here - if you're doing NaNo this year, add me to your buddy list!

Speaking of which, I had a story planned out and then strongmekachan told me about this story she read when she was a kid and then that gave me an insta-bunny and now? My genre has switched from fantasy to horror. FUNNY, THAT.

I finally bought a stylus for my tablet. It should get here tomorrow OMG YAY.

I just got back from watching Zombieland.

I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead

I died and am dead.

Tomorrow got longer than what I thought it would be. Instead of 8-4, it's now 8-'whenever everything is finished but no sooner than 6'.

D:

I SWEAR I will stop talking about work soon. Especially since atlaland is being so damn fun.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

So I get a call tonight from newest ops manager asking me if I can come in at noon tomorrow and 8am on Thursday.

D:

So I'm working 12-9pm tomorrow and 8-4 Thursday. With Thursday being truck day. RAAAAH I HATE NIGHT SHIFT AND THEN HAVING TO COME RIGHT BACK AROUND TO WORK MORNING.

My check will be awesome though (we never get 40 hours a week, I usually get around 34 - this week I'll be getting 38). Just have to keep that in mind.

*fistpump!*

The Great A-Z Multifandom Drabbling Meme!
This is how it works:

1. Pick a letter.
2. Pick a prompt that starts with that letter (ex. K is for Keyhole).
3. Pick a fandom and a character/pairing (I reserve the right to say no! If you're unsure of what I'll write, just ask).

( My List )

Guys, I know I'm terrible at these. BUT I'M DOING IT ANYWAY. Also, this is posted on three f-lists but I'm only doing one list - first come, first serve. XD

This post originally made at Dreamwidth.

Name a fandom and I will tell you:

+ OTP
+ Runner-up
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't

Basically, any fandom I have ever talked about is game. :D

Edit: I realized, while doing this, that I will happily break up my OTPs if I need to use one character for my honorary, runner up, and crack pairings. XD

Whoa! Weather! I am not sure what you're thinking but please stop with the rain! We have had enough.

( Terrible cellphone pictures! )

At least it's not as bad as last weekend. Homes were flooded. Rivers and ponds overflowed. The Georgia governor declared a state of emergency. Ack!

So I joined atlaland. It's a community activity thing offering up challenges (in writing, art, and general games). Members get split up into four nations and you, of course, earn points for your nation. Competition, yeah.

What group am I in? You need to ask?



Also, if you noticed on this post, I'm opening comments on LJ and IJ. JOURNALS ALL OVER THE PLACE, WOOOO. Perhaps I will be able to handle this!

Guys? I am tired. Like, really tired. Today was a day off but it was also graduation. Yay! And also: aaaahhhhh! I don't do these things like normal people. I'm pretty sure most people are 90% excited and proud, and 10% panicked. I'm the opposite! Because I focus so much on the bad (what if I fall across the stage? - what if I don't recognize anyone? - what if what if what if) that I don't have time to be totally psyched about graduating!

Or maybe that is the way most people are. I have no idea. But it was a lovely ceremony and I did see people that I knew and exchanged email addresses and whatnot, so. Yay!

Also, I ordered the season 1, part 2 set of Fullmetal Alchemist but I was totally mistaken about what episodes were on it and now I have a set that I don't need. GODDAMN IT. :( I am very sad about this. You guys, you just don't know the utter disappointment that ran through me. It was a bit startling. I love Fullmetal Alchemist (just, you know, A MILLION YEARS LATE ON THAT) and I want to know what happeeeeeens. Yeah, I know Brotherhood is coming out, blah, blah, I know the original anime diverges A LOT from the manga, blah, blah, I see the two as two separate canons - that way I can enjoy them both. YES. MORE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST FOR ME TO ENJOY. I SHIP ED WITH EVERYONE. EVERYONE. Is this fandom still active? Imma have to check it out.

No word count today. :(

Does anyone know where I can either download or stream Merlin? I found some of the episodes on Hulu but only 9-13. THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR NOT REMEMBERING WHEN SHOWS ACTUALLY COME ON. D:

It's a bit premature to cheer but I don't care because HOLY OMG I'm getting a promotion! One that comes with a raise and holiday pay and paid vacation and health insurance (I haven't had health insurance since I was 18!) and more hours and, and-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It'll be a little while before I start getting trained, as the person whose position I'm filling is being trained for management and won't be able to train me until she's ready but that's okay - I'll have time to study for the expertise test I have to take.

(also, omg nervous, I'm getting responsibilities I've never had before and duuuude, I hope I don't fuck this up)

Daily word count: 204
