Well.... shit

So much for my plan to get a bit ahead on writing. I only got 1063 words written last night. I think tonight I'm going to see if Heero's battery is recharged and I'll bring my iPod upstairs and we'll make a writing party of it so that there are no distractions... if I don't get caught up at work today. 1667 (today) + 314 (2 days ago) + 604 (yesterday) = 2585 minimum today. This will mean making some major progress at work... so that maybe I can do movies tonight after work. I've been waiting to watch The Terminator since we got it back out of the box.
Dirj, I sent you copies of all the icons in replies on LJ. They're also on ApollyMix. If I get caught up (or stuck) writing today, I'll try to work on more. I found a few more good Aliens ones... including the Dwayne/Ellen scene. *squee* I'm making those 2585 words my top priority though. Got a lot to make up and get done before I'm gone for 3 days at the end of the month. (I thought it was only going to be 2, but apparently it will be 3 full days and part of 2 others. Before then, I'll need to make sure I take Heero with me and have the entire story in a Word file.)
Most days it never really hits me that I'm encroaching on thirty; I try to live like I'm a lot younger (playing around, not worrying over things as much as I can, laughing and having a good time); but sometimes it does hit. Yesterday morning it hit when I was on the phone with Mum discussing our trip at the end of the month. My cousin is pregnant with her and her husband's first kid; like my sister who's already two kids in, my cousin is also 22. Mum mentioned to me once that she worried she ruined me for marriage with her and my father's divorce then her marriage with my first step-father (my sister's father) and now Charlie (I adore my new step-father). That was just a random bit, but occasionally I still get a "when are you getting married" or "when are you giving me great-grandchildren" from my father's mother (Obaabaa); she doesn't take kindly to be told she has two other grandchildren who are already married that she can bug for great-grandchildren.
Okay, that was just a rant/ramble, when I should be catching up on writing.

I get you on the thirty-stuff; I'm far past that. I'm going to be 34 very soon and even though my mother doesn't bug me for grandchildren (well, PCOS pretty much ruined my chances for that), I'm having a little difficulties dealing with it too, but that's too much to state in a simple comment.

Most days I don't feel 27. In fact, most days I barely feel 21. I wonder where the time has gone - and then I get a MySpace message telling me about my 10 year high school reunion or something. *le sigh*

Heh, I know what you mean. More and more often when I refer to something in conversations that happened a while ago, I think "Oh snap, that's been more than X years ago!" I mean, it's weird that's it almost TWO decades since I was in middle school, and a good decade since I graduated from university, yes. Time sure flies...

It scares me to think of stuff that was popular when I was young is now being called "retro" and "vintage". Yeesh... I'm a vintage author...
(no subject)
XDDD Or that you're talking to someone who is all about '80's retro cartoons and who's too young to have seen them when they were aired, and you being old enough to have stayed up to see them all. Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Thundercats, She-Ra, He-Man.... XD

If that story turns out to be in English (or gets translated into it), let me know! It sounds interesting!!
(no subject)
^^ If it ever gets published/translated, you'll get a signed copy first!

Hurray for signed copy! ^_~ You have such talent and skill that I know we're talking about WHEN it gets published, not IF. ^__^ ♥

I loved the series, for all the nice clothes and the music, and just how it was. I recently bought the Jem movie (I think it's just the first three or four episodes smished together, but seeing as there are no other DVD's of Jem...) and I was taken back down memory lane, but oh my god, the cheesiness of it all, how dense Rio was, and how cruddy the songs XDD But they were awesome cruddy songs! My father threw all my dolls and accessories out when he was drunk, the asshole.
^___^ Thank you, darling. ♥

Aww... Now that just sucks! I'm sorry, hon!

Yeah, and he had the gall to claim my mother did it (they were in the middle of divorcing at that time and my mother moved out of the house), but I know he was pissed-assed drunk at the time. Needless to say, I don't have a really happy bond with my father.

But ugh... on a happier note, there is a little prize coming with the rest of your DVDs, something I noted you mentioned being missing from your collection. I'm mailing everything tomorrow through Express Mail, so it should be there in 3-5, since it took me so long to get it to you.

YAY package! ♥ A little prize? *racks brain* Ooh, I'm so curious! I'm going to hunt down the mailman again :)

... I ripped my copy of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (the extended edition that has Reese in it, etc) and burned it for you. It's labelled a little strangely because of my program though. And my fandork arse might burn you some AMVs and FMVs as well.
(no subject)
OooOOO, thank you thank you thank you! Yay Reese! I can't wait! I wish we had something special only in the Netherlands that I could send you. I feel so spoiled with all these goodies, and yum, doujinshi coming my way. That's so going to be making my month. :) ♥
