It's over, guys! Console me, for I have finally finished The Sentinel.  I watched the last episode last night, then spent a half hour on the phone with my dad, getting grief counseling.  *g*  Seriously, I know it's been off the air for ten years now, but it doesn't really feel that way to me, ya know?

In other news, I smell like a christmas tree and my hands are still sticky after washing them three times.  Yes, that's right, I've been doing yardwork.

*smooches to all*

It's nice to be home. :) I've been at my dad's for the past few days, and there was an extra day thrown in for him, so I've been all kerfluffled.  I'm good now, though. *g*

Joy! I received the sentinel dvd's from starwatcher307 !  Woohoo!  I shall snuggle in and enjoy and squee over those that I haven't seen yet.  But really, I just have to say--*facepalm headdesk pshaaaw* Because after literally *weeks* of not hearing from the woman who sends me the eps online, I just checked my e-mail and found two eps sitting there waiting for me.  Today.  The very day I get them on DVD.  I mean, really.  But Joy! all around anyway, I guess the universe has just aligned for me to watch TS. :D

And yes, I *should* be working on my Othello essay that's due tomorrow.  I know this.  But really? *holds hands in measury-pose* Othello essay.  Unseen Sentinel eps.  Which would you choose?  Sleep's overrated anyway.

Oh, and my dad's ultra-conservative friend stopped over today.  Despite the residual tingles-of-righteousness that I'm always left with after talking with him, I actually really enjoy it when he visits.  I get to mildly debate things such as politics and global warming and how liberalism will be the downfall of the earth with him, and he never seems to mind when I break out into giggles at what he says sometimes.  He's quite respectful of my beliefs.  He thinks they're dead wrong, of course, and he does his fair share of head-shaking and laughing at me, but he doesn't really try to push his beliefs on me.  Yay!

Well, I guess I was just feeling a bit chatty, seeing as I've been away from the Internetz since *gasp* Sunday! O_O  Holy crap, man, that's a long time!

And WOW to the P-L and Sentinalia discussions that I missed! (I lurk only on these lists.)  But I did my fair share of fist-pumping and "go you!"-ing as I read, and thanks to those who were pro-non-biasedness based on age!  ILU!! ♥

Okay, that's it for now, I swear. *g*

*smooches to all*

Hi everyone!  How are you all doing?

I'm fine, thank you for asking. *g*  My butt's still rather sore, but I'll live. ;p 

As for writing, it's going good.  The other night another bout of midnight fic-ness hit me and I wrote for two hours straight, which is a lot for me.  I'm currently trying to see if any of what I wrote is salvageable, or if it's just a bunch of drunk-on-tiredness rambling. *g*

I've also gotten many lovely comments on Convergence at Last, and the read count on ASR3 just keeps going up.  This gives me the warm-fuzzies.

That's it for now; I hope you're all doing as well as I am.  Anything new going on?

*smooches to all*

I just spent a whole crapload of time indulging my craving for first time fics by transferring waaaay too many of them to my flashdrive, so that I can read them on my internetless laptop.  While splashing around in them will be oh-so-fun, I'm *pretty* sure that I will eventually OD.

Oh, well.  What a way to go, right?

*smooches to all*

P.S.: Thanks to everyone who's given me such lovely feedback on Convergence at Last. You are all mucho wonderfifful!

Hmmm.  I got organized on my LJ.  I put all of my stuff into tags and such, which I've been neglecting doing for a while now. 

For me, this is almost the equivalent of a miracle, as anyone who knows my organizational skills will tell you.

I must have been really bored. *g*

*smooches to all*

So all this talk of pokey sticks and procrastinating gave me a bit of an idea, but this is me, so I need to know if it's workable/good/already out there. 

I thought that there should be some sort of pokey-stick community (or something) where everybody who signs up gets the name of someone to poke encourage about their writing, and in turn, their name is given to someone else.  This could probably be done partially anonymously, as long as you knew who you supposed to poke.

It could be a writer's support group kinda thingy, on a more individual basis, and maybe every month or so the names could rotate? 
This could be for any fandom, or just TS, or whatever.

So what do you guys think?  Anyone want to expand on the idea, or make it work, or am I just stupid, and it's already happening?

*smooches to all*

AND HOLY CRAP IT IS WINDY OUTSIDE O_O

For using the word "crap" one time.

*hangs head*

I'm not very good at being a rotten teenager, am I?

*smooches to all*
 

This isn't a discussion, a review, notes, or anything deep at all.  (as if it ever is, with me. :P)

I just re-watched Sentoo two, and I noticed--Incacha's speaking English, there, right there!! *points*

WTF?!?!

I know I can't be the first one to notice this, but I still go "hunh?"

*smooches to all*

I'm nearing the end of the third season of The Sentinel.  I ♥ this show and its slashiness....really, there are points when I think, "It just doesn't GET any gayer than that!!" 

Ignore the insane fangirl.

*smooches to all*

Just letting my meandering thoughts shuffle their way onto my LJ.  That's what it's here for, right?  So, thinking about my writing issues, I've come up with this Theory of The Day:  I think that a lot of my reluctance to write at the moment has to do with my style of writing vs. the type of things that I'm reading right now.  For the most part, I write fluffy bits of nothing that float away upon the winds (don't mind my weirdness today).  However, I'm not in a "fluff mood" lately, preferring to read things with actual plots, and character development, and all those wonderful things that come with Real Author-dom.  But I'm not a Real Author, IMO, because I'm just starting out, and I don't think I could do justice to a Real Story. 

So there it is, Theory # 852 (heh).....*shrugs* I'll get there eventually, I guess, but for now I stare wistfully off into the distance at the pretty, shiny status of GOOD.

Thanks for reading! *smooches all*

Serious internet withdrawal is a bitch.  But, unfortunately, it is an unhealthy part of my life that occurs regularly, as my father's house does not have the Internet.  Sigh. 

However, I am now home, comfortably mired in my Livejournal, fanfics, and downloaded episodes of the Sentinel. 

Right now, I'm watching Storm Warning.  Four minutes in, and they're *so* together that it makes for squee!pants.  Life is good.

The End

P.S.-- inane ramblings are fun.

P.P.S.-- I am currently in a state of mild euphoria, so I am no longer pulling my hair out over my poor Sentinel Thursday story that went astray.  I swear, it wasn't supposed to happen, but (UGH) my freakin' muse is sooo disgustingly sappy that sometimes I just want to kick a puppy in front of her.  That'd teach her.

Oh NO!!!  I think I have the exclamation point flu!!!  They're everywhere!!!  If you see a comment from me, it'll probably be loaded with the nasty things!!!  Run away!!!  But don't worry, I don't think it's contagious!!!  That's all!!!

I just realized that I haven't been on Myspace for like a month, and while that's not really a problem, the thing is, it's the only place where I can keep track of some of my friends.  They have been neglected. :(  Bad Katherine!

and I'm sorta surprised.

( ramblings on my writing )

who have seen all or most of The Sentinel, which was your favorite season and why?

Okay, so I'm into fanfiction from The Sentinel, and that's why I got a LJ.  ( Read more... )
