she's dancing with the stars

What is everyone currently reading at this time? I'm curious.

I'm a little over half done with Homeland by R.A. Salvatore. I borrowed the Dark Elf trilogy a while back and I think it's time that I read it so I can send it back to its owner. ^_~ I like the book, but I'm looking forward to the next volumes since I hear it gets better.

But as far as my own books go, I'm reading Oliver Twist, which I only own because I needed something to get with my store credit at the used bookshop. And I've always been meaning to read this classic.

Here is what I have so far:

( 1 through 30 )
31. "Flight of the Raven" Jennifer Roberson
32. "A Tapestry of Lions" Jennifer Roberson
33. "The Tao of Pooh" Benjamin Hoff
34. "The Te of Piglet" Benjamin Hoff
35. "The Immortal Prince" Jennifer Fallon
36. "The Gods of Amyrantha" Jennifer Fallon

Today, I walked out of the hospital and I wanted to write. I wanted to describe how the air felt, how the lights looked, and it made me want to fic not one but two things (the songfics from the meme a few days ago). I came home with half a mind to write.

However, I was sidetracked by my family, aggravated by the fact that my passport photo thing isn't working, and my boyfriend called and said he was coming (to Riverside! like the old days! <3) and so... yeah. I updated for KJ, though she came out... not exactly like I wanted her to. Oh well. But I want to write. Alas.

( life, as we know it )

Tomorrow: funeral, passport pictures, lunch with Peter, upper lip/eyebrow wax, nap?, Redlands 3 - 11
Wednesday: Laundry, sweep floor, epi studying, massage?, music rearrangement on iPod/Annaliese, Matt entry, leadership/management journal, write-up for critical care
Tagbacks as needed (which reminds me, I have a Lauren tag to do *does*)

A random, floating, non-fixed to do list: fill out FAFSA, print out skills checklist, begin working on portfolio (!!!) and resume (!!!)

...that's all. Yeah.

There's a lot of plotting and playing to be done for the game, but for some reason, I just... can't get into it lately. I don't know if it's because of school, or because KJ doesn't like dealing with the awkward, or what. I want to play; I want my characters to be doing stuff for Halloween and interacting with people. But they're all chillin' in some corner in the back of my head, just... kicking back and doing their own thing. Maybe that's a sign that I'm don't have the time to give them the plots they deserve. Alas.

But yeah, if you want any of them, let me know. Just... you know.

I'm sitting here waiting for trick-or-treaters to come and I'm dressed up as Minnie Mouse, and I can't believe I forgot the ears I bought yesterday to go with the costume. Alas. I have half a mind to wear it tomorrow to Disneyland, but if I do that, the shoes are going to get torn apart (they're like house slippers). I'll wear the ears tomorrow, though, I guess.

I have a few minutes until the little trick or treaters come around, and I don't know what to do with myself. I told myself I'd do game stuff because I've been severely lacking, but... yeah. I'll try. We'll see how my muses cooperate.

does anyone write? poetry, stories, short stories, fan fiction? pm me if you do because i was thinking about maybe putting a little ooc comm together where we could post and leave feedback where there aren't like a thousand members like on webook and stuff. let me know if you're interested and maybe i'll be able to set up the comm right away!

Love. It's so close to hate, it's almost indistinguishable.
But this is how it was for the two of them.
Love and hate.
Life and death.
Joy and anguish.
Finally he lay still against her, drifting into a dreamless sleep. She smoothed his hair from his brow and called his name softly. Abbadon the Unlikely. Named so because his wistful nature masked a cold and fierce rage.
The Destroyer of Worlds, and the emperor of her own heart.
One day he would thank her for saving his life.

Rules:
(1) Choose a fandom or game from the list
(2) Choose a character and/or pairing
(3) Choose a song from my recently played list. If you're feeling ambitious, give me a lyric from your chosen song.
(4) PROFIT! Er, I mean, let me write you a drabbly thing. (Or longer. I love songfics.)

( here's your pieces )

Have at it! Also - this wasn't on my to-do list but I totally wrote two pages of my project paper. Whoo.

Answers for this meme are going in imagine_this. :)

Happy Saturday, everyone! For once, I have nothing to do on a Saturday, and I love it! There are little things I have to do, yeah, but nothing ~*pressing*~ or ~*major*~. :D

So one of the things I did was fix up Matt's Facebook profile - lookie! So proud, heh. I also fixed up KJ's, and updated it a little bit. *nods* I don't know if the rest of my kids will get one, but we'll see.

( A to-do list )

So the night before clinical I didn't sleep very well - I barely got four hours of sleep. Last night I made up for it by sleeping like, 12 hours (hee), but yesterday I was starting to feel kind of weird - and two people were telling me that it sounded like I was getting sick. I thought it might go away by sleeping, but now as I sit here I still feel kind of woozy. It's nothing major, but my throat still feels awkward and my head feels like it's starting to get pressurized, so I'm hoping I don't get full-blown sick. Peter won't see me if I'm sick and I want to go out and do stuff but I don't want to spread disease, haha. (I think he got all butthurt when he was like "you know if you're sick, I can't see you for at least a week" and I was like "oh well", but honestly, I've been through it enough with him that it's just something I have to deal with. It was like he was trying to guilt trip me. I'm sorry that your immune system sucks, but I'm allowed to get sick once in a while okay? Ugh.) So yeah.

I think I'm going to go tackle this list and get some food in me. Chicken asparagus soup sounds yummy. Om nom.
