le sigh, volume 33, issue squidwart , stardate: blandishment.

[amand_r]

WORK:
--This week three stories will go out.
--Three more will be done, but I might have to set one of them aside.
--I have to start a set of three. I seem to work best in threes.
--Am getting ready to work on the novel again. The werewolf one. Not the porn. I think I might self publish it. For shits and giggles. No one wants this books, I guarantee.

FANNISH:
--Working on episode 6/14. Total word count: 125,242. It's brilliant, I think. But by the time I'm ready to show it, you will all have forgot me. (insert woe is me).
--Have been doing WIAD, but I feel uninspired and hackneyed. Might just stop now.
--Have a rec list I am compiling, but feel blah about it.

HEALTH:
--Cannot seem to lose weight. Working on it.
--Upped the melatonin back to 3 mg after 1.5 woke me at 4 am repeatedly.
--I hate iron pills. I hate Benefiber. I hate Colace.

READING:
--Finished all of LKH's Anita Blake. Skin Trade wasn't as bad as I remember it being. PLOT. Gratuitous cumshot at the end, though. It was so crass I almost have to give LKH props for putting a pearl necklace in a mainstream book.
--Working on the new Star Wars.
--Stalled on "The Stranger".
--Stalled on Sloane Crosley's "I was Told There Would Be Cake"

KIDLET:
--Potty trained. Did I mention that?
--Also:

You buried the lead! Potty training YAY! That is a major accomplishment for you both, for real!

Also,sorry about the iron and associated junk. Any indication that it's helping?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahah she's actually been trained for several months. Mum bought her panties one day and put themon her and only one accident since then. I put a diaper on her at night but most mornings it's dry. At this point I'm just using them up.

I have no idea if the iron is helping. I think it's too early. We'll see.

[dremiel.livejournal.com]

I HATE waiting to see if things are helping. Bah!

The only good thing about The Boy's ADD diagnoses (aside from getting him help, of course) is that when we reluctantly agreed to try medication it was obvious on THE FIRST DAY that it was helping. Honestly, it was obvious within a couple of hours and then it was just a matter if finagling the dosage.

I want that kind of immediate clarity for everything.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah, I heave heard that re: ritalin. My brother was on it and it was easy to tell when he wasn't taking it.

[dremiel.livejournal.com]

In this case it's Concerta but, yeah, same thing. Painfully obvious and he's not even hyperactive!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

For me it was the speech patterns!

[pocky_slash.livejournal.com]

Oh man, they used to have dragon rides like that at Land of Make Believe (my favorite trip every summer between the ages of 4-ish and 11-ish) and that photo just brought back a boat load of memories.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Land of make believe. Funny you should mention that since this ride was right next to mister roger's neighborhood.

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

I think that is my favorite icon of yours! I love it so.

Ugh, I'm tired. It's almost 100 degrees outside. It's about that where you are, too. This is way too hot. There's a reason I didn't move to Doha to live w/ my brother.

I am sending you good vibes for the writing. Massive good vibes, flowing from me to you and back again.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

It's a vibology here. Someone call Paula Abdul!

Is it 100? Shitbears.

[tariqa.livejournal.com]

I've read "I was Told There Would Be Cake" - it's amusing enough but you're not missing much if you don't finish it.

Kidlet is the cutest thing ever!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I read the first essay, and I think I might be a little jealous of her ability with words and humour, but I'm not sure if I jealous or bored.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Fans of your writing of which there are dozens will not forget you. So toss that fear aside. Keep talking about your project--125k is impressive as hell, especially as it is not just one story. What I've seen, I've enjoyed the FIRE out of.

You might be wrong about your werewolf story, you know. Werewolves are extremely popular, and now is a great time to finish that and get it out there. At least try first before you self-publish. Seriously!

YAY for kidlet doing so well with the panties. Good for her.

Weight loss. I managed to get 10 off, but have been bouncing around 5.5 lbs. over what I was back when we talked about it last. Annoying! *shakes fist* I know what it is in my case--sitting on my butt too much, home and work, home and work. On butt. Ignoring treadmill.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah man, I am stuck at 160. sometimes I go down. Sometimes I go up. But 160 is where I hover.

I sense drastic measures are being called for.

It's time to try to get a tapeworm.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL I believe you can buy those on the internet!!!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahah I believe it!

Zomg

[a-dirrty-mind.livejournal.com]

DRAGONS ARE 'DA AWESOME!
(Caps makes them even better.)

...and she's all like 'Weeeee!' Or, is that the middle finger from her right hand and she's all like "Sup my number one dragon. Yo."

Re: Zomg

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

THEY'RE GANG SYMBOLS, MAN.

Re: Zomg

[a-dirrty-mind.livejournal.com]

I see it now! It's a Wolfpack sign on her right and, what looks to be, a Wendy's on her left. Epic.

Re: Zomg

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Hey man, Wendy's is HARDCORE.



Check that bitch's hair. SHE WILL CUT YOU.

Re: Zomg

[a-dirrty-mind.livejournal.com]

It's the pigtails hiding razors laced with corrosive acid - otherwise, she's a softy.

Re: Zomg

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I think you mean FROSTY.

Re: Zomg

[a-dirrty-mind.livejournal.com]

Zing! And the vanilla kind is so good.

Re: Zomg

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I was gonna make a kink joke but just looking at her face makes me feel dirty about it.

[phaetonschariot.livejournal.com]

I will gladly take some of your extra warmth.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

PLEASE TAKE IT. 92 DEGREES IS ABOUT 30 DEGREES TOO HOT FOR ME.

[kwanalicious.livejournal.com]

FUCK YEAH TOILETS!

Also, you should totally have a pen name.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I was thinking Natalie Crane would be a good pen name.

[wildeagain.livejournal.com]

by the time I'm ready to show it, you will all have forgot me.

I WILL READ IT.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

[wildeagain.livejournal.com]

Haha, if I'm still around in fandom, then certainly will.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

:(

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

You are one busy woman!

Yays for potty training!

My 6 year old said he would please to be riding in the dragon with your kidlet.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahah that dragon was the shit!

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

I bet!

Thought you'd also be amused by the fact that he was reading my comment over my shoulder, editing.
"Mom, are 'Yays' and 'kidlet' real words?"

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

KIDLET IS SO A REAL WORD.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

His response: "You're a grownup-let!"

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

OMG BEST PICTURE EVAH.

Also, I want that book. I wants it badly.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

what book? werewolf book? you have read part of it.

gah, have to get over being sick.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

I KNOW I have. Why do you think I WANT it? Ur slow.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I AM SICK. BITE ME.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

WHERE? IS THERE ANYWHERE YOU ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS?? BECAUSE I CHOOSE THERE.

I WONDER. ARE DALEKS IMMUNE TO HUMAN DISEASE?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WE SHOULD LOOK THIS UP.

GOOGLE "DALEK INFECTIOUS DISEASES"

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE? THE DALEK CDC?

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA. FIRST HIT:
