giddygeekMy 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mlynne is a little
The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it: Farscape Oh yes, Farscape. And I heard it's been cancelled--who's laughing now, biotch? *G* (mostly kidding. really. hee)
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: The Sentinel I've actually been feeling loads of Sentinel love lately. Went back and read a lot " " of Martha's and Francesca's fic a couple weeks ago and sighed very happily the whole time. :)
The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy: X-Files, Krycek/Marita. Hey, you know? I was a het girl to start with! i didn't 'get' the whole M/M thing then! I was all about the fucked-uppedness of those two though. *G*
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: Andromeda No one posts Harper/Dylan much that I can see. *sigh* I'd probably fall in love if it was around more.
The steady: Due South No matter what else I read, I always always go back for more Ray/Fraser. ;-) DS understand how I feel about NSYNC though, I'm sure, and knows that no matter how much I love this new fandom, it will never be replaced. ;-)
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: Buffy
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't: BSB
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: LotR
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?: Harry Potter and Smallville tie, here. Although Smallville's stolen more of my favorite authors!
The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly: Smallville
The childhood sweetheart you loved and always said you'd stay in touch with, but then you drifted apart, went your separate ways, and when you think about him now you smile nostalgically, and blush, and wonder what he's up to now: X-Files, Mulder/Scully

Date: 2002-10-01 04:32 pm (UTC)Some unasked for advice...
Date: 2002-10-01 07:50 pm (UTC)Do NOT give that Jen girl money for a ticket. Especially after she called you a bitch. Actually, because she called you a bitch.
If she hadn't done that, I'd say, yeah, look at your finances, think it over, decide what you want to do, and if you can, give her money for a ticket. But, damn, doesn't the stupid cow realize calling you a bitch isn't going to get you to cough up the bucks?
Anyway, you know I think you're right about Trisha needing to stay down there a while - she needs to adjust to the place if that's going to be her new home. And she's coming home for the holidays, so if she needs you and your mom's help, then she'll get it. But unless she is seriously depressed (and I know you'd know it) and really needs her family's help right now, then you're right about her needing to get used to NC.
Dude, gimme that chick's number. I'll give her a call and show her what a real bitch is, if you want.
