So, I sat down to write. While I did, it wasn't at all what I meant to work on. Instead, I've a short 131 word drabble. Oops, in the best way.

Constructive criticism always welcome.
Work and the real world have been winning, lately. Of course, I've also been completely distracted by AtS and BtVS, so it's mostly my fault. Just a formal apology for failing at livejournal and fandom.

My baby sister (who is actually only eleven months younger than me, but I need to get my shots in any way I can) wins. For basically no reason at all, she gave me the fourth season of Buffy. I've been watching it for nine hours straight (love having days off).
In other news, fic is making me angry. The characters have all just sort of stopped doing things, and refuse to progress or get involved in the plot in any way. I'm about ready to stop and claim I meant it to be a very short ficlet all along.
And how are the rest of you fairing?

I wrote last night. Quite a lot, and while I still need to finish it up, it should be posted in a few days. Have to love when the world ends.
More Angel-like rambles.
( And another cut )
That all? Only two episodes worth.

What did I take away from my first viewing of the pilot episode of AtS?
Oh my god, Doyle has a fedora!
Obviously, I pay attention to the important things.
Okay, no, I took away more than that. ( Should I cut for spoilers? I'll cut for spoilers. )
I have more, but I'm rather absorbed with watching the discs. Four discs done in less than twenty-four hours. I'll ignore what that says about my productivity.

I am the proud owner of the first season of Angel. That means Doyle, and fun Cordelia, and personality!Angel. Most importantly, Wesley. Fun, cute, geeky yet compatant Wesley.

Just a few curiosities.
Exactly what season of Angel is stripping!Wesley in? No, uh *shifty eyes* reason for asking.
I'm looking for recs. Specifically, I'm looking for recs for amnesia!fic. I've read a few fics, and all it really did was get me craving for more. So, go on, rec away -- any pairing, any setting, either BtVS or AtS. Go wild with it.
Going to buy the first season of Angel today . . . probably.
I've been writing more end of the world fic. I blame my odd apocalypse obsession as of late. Speaking of, I had an apocalypse dream involving Giles.
( The Dream )
On the personal front, the two jobs are going well. Jessica's moved in with me, possibly for good.

I bring fic! Took me a few days to actually get this how I wanted it. A short little ficlet, again, but I'm happy with it.
Xander, post-series. Let's just, uh, pretend he never went to Africa and is instead in Cleavland. AU, perhaps?
Believe it's pretty self-explanatory.

Working two jobs, now, daily. Making a nice chunk of change, but it leaves me little time to breathe. Last night I stayed awake a few hours longer than I should have, just so I could get my daily dose of fandom. Go nuts without it.
I'm declaring ASH my good luck charm. Before, he was just a man to obsess an drool over. Having started off every day for the past week by listening to his liquid gold singing voice has seemed to make my days insanely wonderful. Hence, good luck charm.
I signed up for a ficathon. I'm hoping that doesn't come back to haunt me, but I'm excited. I've got a good choice of assignments, and this way I can excuse spending my first paycheck on the first season of Angel -- "research". Of course, the fact that it will sooth my intense jonesing for some Wesley is just a bonus.
Made myself promise I'd watch all five season of Angel in order. Not that I mind having mixed up the order of Buffy seasons, but I think it'll help pack more of a punch. Not to mention, give me a better feel for the growth of the characters and their bonds with each other.
*bounce* Is it payday yet?
I spent some of last night searching for clear caps of Wesley and Gunn. One can never have too much Wes in their lives. Unfortunately, I came up with very little. I suppose I could go to one of those many sites that have entire episodes capped within an inch of their lives, but there's something fun about using Google Images. I like the search.
Since I couldn't find any, I just booted up The Sims and played with the Wesley I have on there. He's aged, but he's happy.
I have fic. Badly written, must-be-edited, fic. Maybe I'll do that during my break between jobs tomorrow.
Instead? Icons. Just playing around with a certain style, and I may have gone a bit overboard. Mostly bases, like usual. 29 icons in total.

Not liking the idea of waking at five-thirty tomorrow morning.

| Hmm? |
[16 Jan 2006|04:21am] |
I'm driving myself crazy. I need an outsider's perspective.
I can't seem to decide if this icon is good or bad. One second, I love it and the grainy look to it. The next, I can't even begin to describe where it went wrong.
So, any outsiders have a perspective?

I had an entry, a long one, and livejournal lost it.
I got the job, yesterday. I made it a point to listen to the Buffy musical and Music for Elevators on the walk to the interview. Figured Anthony Stewart Head's voice would make a wonderful good luck charm. It seemed to work. Put me in a wonderful mood, too. That man's voice is like liquid gold.
Last night I had a dream about Wesley. There were quite a few bits to it that I don't remember, but I do know there was a portion of the dream that took place in a McDonald's. He was already sitting down with his food, and I was still in line, waiting to order. The rest of our group was scattered about. Gunn was standing beside me waiting for his food to be served.
Oddly enough, I kept trying to secretly order a cheeseburger. Until I remembered they had meat in them (I forgot?) and I ordered a McFlurry instead.
Finally I got my food and I went to sit with Wesley (he was sitting by himself, cut off from the rest of the AI crew). Our conversation was actually full of things I've always wanted to say/ask.
Me: So is it 'Mr. Wyndam-Pryce' or 'Mr. Pryce'? I've never really understood that.
Wesley: It doesn't matter.
Me: Oh. That's . . . not satisfying.
Wesley: Mmm.
Me: Look, I can understand the appeal of the scruffy!you. It's very attractive, but this stoic and steel thing you have going on? Give it up. It's tiring and it wouldn't kill you to smile over something. You're not that tortured.
Wesley: *completely taken aback* You'd rather dork!Wesley?
Me: Yes! Yes, I love dork!Wesley. He's competent, yet lovable. Bring him back, he's fun.
Wesley: What about--
Me: I didn't see you on Buffy, so I don't know about that. I'd say no, though. I hear you were a prat.
I own the third season of Buffy, so I'm not sure why I lied to him. Made me very happy, though, have a dream with Wesley in it.
I finished the first season of Buffy last night. I had been putting off watching the last episode. Partly because I wanted to drag it out, partly because I was afraid that it would be when Buffy started the All About Buffy thing. It wasn't that bad, though, and I really enjoyed it.
Other thoughts on season one:
Xander's characterization is probably the best one, at the very start. It's a new series, the characters are still finding their spots, some of the characterization is different than we're used to. Xander, though? He's himself from start to finish. I love it.
I was surprised Angel wasn't around all that much. I was expecting the Angel and Buffy love affair to really kick off in season one, to be intense and powerful like they usually are. I kind of like how it wasn't. Angel was just sort of there, and while there was attraction, there wasn't much more.
I had more to say, but I'll type it later. Another job interview awaits.

I had an incredibly odd dream last night. Basically, I was Willow. An accident of some sort had happened and I had been in the hospital. The day I was being released, though, I called Oz from some cellphone I found lying about, When I called, he was about a foot away from me, so I dropped the phone, squealed, and hurled myself into his arms. There were happy sounds, babble, and an excited Oz (basically, he half-smiled -- that's Oz excited, though).
So, we went to go meet up with the others. Unfortunately, Xander went running by yelling something about the world being doomed, and I went to go run after him. Oz ended up upset by this and took it out on me with another girl (very OOC). I was devestated, and I left him to go save the world.
Then there was an entire conversation between Oz and Buffy that mostly consisted of her saying "No, you don't understand, you can't be here -- you're not in the first season" over and over again.
My livejournal goals for today? Fill up my userpics with icons that I'm scarily attached to, and continue trying to de-lurk. So far, so good. I woke up to find a great number of comments in my inbox, and I also found out that rayne_y_daze recced me. Made my day, that.
Another thing that made my day? Waking to my phone ringing, only to find out I've a job interview at four-thirty. So if everyone wants to keep their fingers crossed and hope I don't make a complete ass out of myself, feel free. Feel more than free. Feel . . . well, actually, I don't know what's more than free, but you can feel it.
ETA: I just received yet another call for another interview tomorrow. This? Completely my day.

I have fic. Sort of. Slightly longer than a drabble, though not by much. The problem, though, is that I've no idea where else to post this. I'd like to get involved with the fandom, it's just proving near impossible to.
Suppose I'll continue hunting. Until then, here you are. Giles, Dawn, Xander, end of the world, and Christmas.

Starting a new journal actually terrifies me. Far more than it should, considering it's livejournal. But terrify me it does. It's the pressure of coming up with the proper wording for the user info, and the paralyzing fear of ruining the first entry.
How am I doing so far?
This is my fandom journal. After I set it up (coming up with a layout and all of that is quite grueling), I plan to start bombarding communities. With luck, more people than myself will become interested in what I have to say.
Until then, I'll be off in the corner with my terror.
