| 11:09 am | So that's the criteria? So, Fanthropology lists articles that mentioned fanfic during the week. It's usually pretty awful, because "fanfiction" is a joke to legitimate writers and media people, the word to them equals either "terrible writing produced by crazy people with nothing better to do with their time" OR it equals "brand new and fascinating but slightly worrying phenomenon that I either can't fathom or I want a piece of". But this week's had a baffling quote that described people who can list their favorite Harry Potter books in order as "hard core fans". Because, I mean, wow. Who else but a hard core Harry Potter obsessive actually has favorites in the series and like, knows all the titles in order? That's just not normal. |

| 12:15 pm | So I got it into my head that I wanted to do a Samantha/Nellie vid. I guess, just because I have the movie. But I didn't know what song to use (usually I hear the song and feel inspired to use it in a specific video). I just grabbed something at random off my harddrive, a song I had thought I wanted to use for something but wasn't sure what for. And now I have this vid that has to be the weirdest thing I've ever done. It's sad and creepy constructed reality that might give anyone unfamiliar with these books some interesting impressions. It also kind of inspires a whole original plot I should maybe do something with. |

| 6:34 pm | Why Stupid Questions Are Asked On the NaNo Forums: 1) Because they want someone else to do all their research for them. I just, if it's *possible* to physically find out the answer yourself by going to the place, doing the thing, or just observing the world around you, you're better off doing that. This is about people who can, and choose not to. 2) Because trying to write 50,000 words in one month apparently scrambles your brain (as the highly entertaining Nanoisms thread proves). 3) Because they're procrastinating. Nothing helps you procrastinate more than research. 4) They either don't know how to word their questions effectively or they didn't take the time to consider what they specifically wanted to know. ( But there are two other reasons I thought of that are a lot less simple. ) |

| 5:53 pm | At FFrants, a SPN child molestation rant. Why *do* people do that? I mean, he has some obvious...issues...that might lead people to think something happened. But they both have issues, I mean, not everyone who was molested ends up promiscuous, sometimes they go the other way, like, you know, SAM. Dean has more than enough other horrible things that happened to him to explain a lot of his issues. Really, it's *Sam* with all the child molestation subtext in his character arc. The whole "people keep getting inappropriately touchy/threatening metaphorical sexual violence against Dean" thing is relatively recent as far as we know (in terms of the span of Dean's life). Plus, he even managed to hold it together when confronted by Alistair, the closest equivalent to that type of character mentioned in the rant. |

| 11:40 am | I get halfway through everything I try to write and realize "this is really stupid". |

| 5:43 pm | ( SPN 5x09: The Real Ghostbusters ) WEll, I guess fan fic writers can do the Alistair/Crowley pairing now, which means this episode is not a *total* loss. And Dean seemed so weirded out by Demian and Barnes. His comments about them "getting out of their parents basements and making friends" is amusing considering Dean has no friends his own age and an almost inappropriately close relationship with his brother. The proper response from a person with a mean streak would be "Well, at least I *have* a basement and parents". |

| 7:58 pm | Everything bugs me right now. |
| 2:48 pm | The nausea is new, as is the feelings of "I might possibly faint". I just got done reading the recap of last week's SPN, and found out what the next ep is supposed to be about. I thought "Well, I'm not gonna watch that one next week" and then realized no, it's on *tonight*. ( Spoilers ) Maybe I just don't have the right sense of humor. And I certainly can't claim I'm in a great mood to begin with, and I'm pretty sure my current perception of reality is not accurate, so I may end up pretending this post never happened |

| 8:19 pm | McSweeney's Literary Magazine Profiles HAH. They're really like that- it's hard to get through "Writer's Market" without wanting to throw it across the room. ( The Men Who Stare at Goats ) |

| 9:02 pm | What is it that makes Felicity collectors so fricking insane? Who on earth pays $239 for a set of plastic food? Or even thinks anyone else would pay that? I went up to Concord with my mother, to apply at a certain apartment complex. We also went to the Dept. of Education because she had to pick something up there. A lot of the state offices are housed in the old State Hospital grounds. A sprawling, redbrick and white gingerbread trim, notoriously haunted example of Victorian creepiness. I'd like to go back some time and get lots of good pictures. |
| 2:01 pm | Seriously, SPN? I know you've been snaking ideas for episodes from the TwoP "Wish" and "Corrupt a Wish" threads for quite some time now but I didn't think you'd start taking ideas from fan vids I look forward to it anyway, because it looks hilarious but I knew I'd seen the concept before somewhere... |
