Finally found the best format for the Remix story. I've had it in pieces for awhile and couldn't get it to all work together, but I finally figured it out. Of course, it's due in just about twenty-four hours, so this is pretty down to the wire, which I hate. (Though I work best under a deadline, I still prefer to get things done earlier.) I'll go through it one more time tomorrow, see if I want to make any more changes, and after that, away it goes.

This weekend was hectic, gaming half the night Friday night, work Saturday morning (after half an hour of sleep, woo), Dad's birthday lunch Saturday afternoon (I took him and Mom to my favorite Mexican restaurant, had Corona [well, I did, he drank Miller Light, yuck, and Mom didn't drink) and tequila), fell asleep while waiting for a phone call about gaming Saturday night, woke up super early today because of it, watched My Little Eye, Lost and Delirious (I have so much love for this movie, so much love, I want fic and I want to watch it again and oh, so much love), The Pacifier, and Knockaround Guys (I also want fic for this), read Annie On My Mind, figured out the format for the Remix, read a bunch of fics (and I'm still not caught up), took Mom and Dad out for Chinese for another birthday meal (hey, I like to celebrate, okay), talked to

thestalkycop, and am finishing laundry. I'm going to head to bed soon, because I've been thinking about going to the gym before work instead of after, because I need to buy groceries, go to the gym, meet with H., talk to the gaming group, edit the Remix one more time, send it on its way, and work on some editing.

Another crazy week ahead, I'm sure, and next weekend we have a state triking meeting here in town which my chapter is hosting, so that should be interesting. I am really looking forward to my vacation in May, Wiscon and then Salt Lake City. J. and I have been making plans already, and his mom is excited I'm coming for a visit. He and I talked on the phone the other night for a couple of hours, which is unusual (neither of us are big phone people, me espedcially), and we're going to have a good time. Then I can start saving up for the trip to England to see the girl, which I'm thinking end of the year, maybe, unless it would be too much of a hassle to visit around the holidays. I don't want to impose.

Bed is looking good, I think.

I have a fun Remix story, which I possibly shouldn't tell... but all you'll learn from it is that I'm not writing for you. (Sorry, cherie!)

Anyway. I was happily working away on my remix story like a MONTH ago... and then my author posted, last goddamn week, a story that CLUTCHED at me with FINGERS OF STEEL.

So now I'm writing under the same deadline you are, because this story would not let me go, and I hate everything.

(Except not).

(OMG ROAD TRIP)

lol I didn't expect you to do so, nor did I expect to write for you, though it would have been fun.

I've been working on scenes from the remix ever since the day they were assigned, but I couldn't tie it all together--and then I realized how to do it. Of course, in a couple of weeks, I'm sure I'll hate it, but at that point it will be posted and the authors announced, so there's not much I can do.

However, I laugh at you and your last minute story. In a nice way, I mean, because it's amusing that one grabbed you at the last minute. I can't wait to read it and the source story, though. Exciting!

I love Remix time of the year.

(ROAD TRIP! X-MEN! SEXY RED-HAIRED CONVENTION! OH SO MUCH FUN!)
