My favorite month of the year. Also, I'm going to join those who are kind of meh with the Kevin-month thing. Chris-month for me, dude. Then again, it's been Chris-month since March, so. *G*

So last night, a friend of my sister's called and said (paraphrased a little), "You know, I'm buying Trish a plane ticket home for a couple days in October...can you pitch in like, 50$? But don't tell her cause she'll get all guilty about me not being able to afford it. She's gonna be here for four days and spend two of them with you, so...it only seems fair to me that you pay some of the ticket price. And what's your mother's number?"

I'm like, well, um. I've been working a lot of overtime lately but I really really need to save for an apartment and a new car so. Let me see what my next paycheck looks like, OK? Because, you know, I didn't ask you to buy my sister a ticket, you undertook that yourself, and quite frankly I think she shouldn't come home yet because she's still adjusting to NC and this is only going to make her worse. And, um, hello? I really need to save for a new car and apartment. But I'll try--

And Jen's like, "You know, your sister is depressed and no wonder cause you're a real bitch," and then she hung up on me! I just. You know. Argh! *makes further pirate-y noises* That girl's gonna walk the plank, I'm telling you right now.

But. I'm still going, well. Maybe I should send her some money. The tickets are pretty cheap and it's not like I asked her, but she is getting my sister home for a while (in October--why not nearer to the holidays??) and I have been working a lot. My next paycheck should be pretty. The whole calling me a bitch thing, though, that kind of makes me want to find her credit card number and like, order her a lot of porn or something. Sigh.

In funner news (and I can use funner as a word because write NSYNC slash, dammit, I break all the rules!) I wrote fic at work to protest the fact that the only time I had to write fic came while I was at work. *G* Stupid people who quit and leave the rest of us to work extra hours. All the time I'm there, with the job and the desk and the stupid phone calls...anyway. I hit the improv generator yesterday and took some words to work with me. :) Complete story but not even ready to be edited yet. Still, yay. Gonna hit the generator again tonight, I think, and take some words to work tomorrow! Might even hit the pairing generator. It seems sad somehow that I'm so focused on one pairing in a fandom with like, 42 million of 'em.

Anyway, gacked from
