Blargh. I am a friendly monster who loves you all alot*.

1. Heaven forbid I tell anyone else how to do their shit *snort* yeah, I would never do that, but if your header makes me literally lean away from my laptop, tilt my head to the side, and sing out 'Bizaaaarre'  in a lovely major 6th that wasn't quite low enough at the end to be a rip off of the NBC theme song--COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. BULLET. DODGED.--then chances are that you are Doing It Wrong. Seriously, honey. I don't expect you to be wonderful and flawless. I do expect you to give your header at least a cursory once over so that you aren't posting when it's only partially filled in or just plain baffling.

2. I started watching Suits about an hour ago. I'm all of ten minutes in. I get so freaking embarrassed on fictional characters' behalves (behalfs? behalves? bee haves?) that a lot of the time I have to leave the room until the scene is over. THIS DOES NOT TRANSLATE WELL TO WATCHING IT PRERECORDED, WHERE I CAN PAUSE AND EXPLORE THE INTERNET INSTEAD. I'll finish it tomorrow. For those not in the know, I have a Suits fic in the works right now. It's an AU where Mike is a stripper who is having financial problems and Harvey is one of his regulars. I am super excited about it!

3. I started a new community for recipes. Not everything will be gluten-free, but most of the recipes will be presented that way with a note telling you it's okay to substitute whatever weird flour I'm using if you want to use regular. Where applicable, that is. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I'm doing. ANYWAYS, it's called commfornoms and I hope to see some of you guys over there. I'm going to make some pasta tomorrow if I have time, so that'll go up, and at some point I'll put up recipes for the two cakes I posted pics of the other day. Right now all that's up are some old posts from this journal, but they will not be lonely for long!

4. I feel the need to clarify that I am 100% sober right now.

5. I wrote a fisting drabble for the Castle fandom yesterday. From the response, I can only assume that the Castle fandom is utterly BEREFT of fisting fics. That's just sad, guys. :(

6. I feel horrible about this, especially concerning people who paid for charity fics and still haven't gotten them, but pretty much everything I was working on before my grandmother died is on a momentary hold. I'll try to get back to it as quickly as possible, but right now I just need a little bit of distance. I hope you guys understand and, again, I'm so sorry for the long wait. Sometimes the things you need to write the most are the ones that are the hardest to produce.

*I know it's 'a lot'. Also, I am probably not actually a monster. Probably. Maybe. I can't verify that at this time.

sigh. this LJ needs more happiness.

1. Got into a knock down, drag out screaming fight with mom first thing this morning. Apparently I'm an unappreciative, flaky child with no say in my own future. Awesome.

2. Spent a good chunk of the day with my friend Whitney, who I've known for over ten years. I love that girl to pieces. We wandered around window shopping and picking up job applications for most of the afternoon and she let me talk her ear off about everything that's been going on. It's good to know that there's at least one person who I know in real life who is supportive about my leaving music for cooking. Also, she gave me a bra she'd bought that didn't fit her right. Hurray for getting brand new bras for free!

3. While mom and I were out this morning, we stopped at one of the local health food stores and I asked the owner if he was interested in selling locally made gluten-free baked goods. He said yes and I'm going to take in some samples of what I can do later this week. If all goes well, I might have my food on his shelves before too long. Cross your fingers and pray, everyone!

4. Hilary Swank's face bugs me. I don't even know why. It just really, really does, y'all.

5. This is a random picture from my Happy folder, because I'm determined to be more positive from here on out.

ETA: SO THIS JUST HAPPENED. The cats are both curled up on the back of the couch with their butts smushed together. I came REALLY close to saying 'Aww, they're butt buddies' out loud to my parents. Potentially awkward, anyone?

Live thoughts on The Eagle

I watched The Eagle tonight and was in the kind of mood that made it seem necessary to open up an entry box and type up my thoughts while simultaneously watching. It pretty much went the way you would expect.
