Atlantis to Interzone

My new muse is seriously making me question my sanity. More than usual I mean.

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:42:00 GMT

Because I really am going to get one done this time - who would like to beta my Being Human apocalypse fic? I need someone for grammar, punctunation etc and someone for characteristion ideally. It'll probably be gen, probably.

So on Sunday I was really ill with a cold. I was going to try and go to my work placement anyway, but I woke up at 6.15am with a really bad sore throat, the inability to breath or stop sneezing. So I had to phone in sick, on my first day. I didn't think it would be a huge problem, since it was only training and I'm doing it for free, but then I phoned up the people that had arranged it all today, now I'm better and was basically told I wasn't getting enother chance to go back. I was so surprised I didn't even think to ask any questions, although in all honesty the only quesion I have can be summed up in the letter WTF! I should be seeing the employment people next week, so I'll ask more then, but they all know I have a dodgy immune system. The really annoying thing is I've been find for ages before this. It's just so fucking typical :/

So now I have to start looking for work all over again.r

I appear to be writing Cassie/Gilbert, in New York. Clearly my cold has affected my brain.

Less hungover than I feared I might be. Went to see Cruxshadows, who may actually be one of the most incredible bands ever. Okay maybe Rogue doesn't sing live, but he does stand on a chair in the middle of the audience and holds your hand and very very nice to look at at. Also he gives very good hugs and him and Jessica are adorable together.

I did end up coming online until 3.35am though and I don't remember everything I did :/ I know I told Matty B I heard Listening Man in BHS, which is a song he's in the music video for and tried to beg redrose999 to join a game with me.

Oh and I start a work placement on Monday, which I'm very much hoping will turn into a job at the end of it. It sounds very interesting, although I need yet more clothes.

To tired to do the coding needed to upload the actual banner but I think the icon says it all.

It's probably going to be completely rewritten and ripped apart.

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:22:59 GMT

I don't suppose any of the RPers on my flist would be interested in joining a supernatural game on IJ would they? I have a line I would particularly like fillinh just let me know if you have any interest.

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:10:37 GMT

So today I got up at 8am, which is the equivalent of 5am to normal people for me, for a meeting at Learn Direct about me doing a computer course. I'm there for five minutes before I find out I'm over qualified to take the course for free because I have a degree and could only do it if I paid £350. Had I not been so tired I'd have been significantly angrier.

Seriously though why does no one seem to know what the fuck they're doing? Apparently they were told I had a degree and they never said that would be a problem. So now I have to look into a course at Meadowhall, which is really not very convenient at all.

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:13:58 GMT

I've just spent about half an hour phoning complete strangers to ask if it's alright if I send them my CV. I hate using the phone, but luckily it wasn't too bad. But dear god if this is how the employment people are going to help me find a job I'm not too happy. I also have a meeting about doing a computer course at 9am on Monday. 9am! What is wrong with these people?

Sort of bit of a spoiler for DW So the Doctor's lost his mind. He's clearly insane and now thinks he's a God. Kill him, kill him now! Seriously I was like, okay so the Rani and the Master are meant to be the evil/mad ones,they looked positive sane compared to him towards the end. Also why the hell couldn't he take the survivors to a different time, or a different planet. That way they could have beenmissed presumed dead, because I'm doubting they found any bodies when they did die, so really taking them back to Earth on the same day as they're supposed to die is just fucking stupid!

I think the captain did the right thing, but she shouldn't have had to, Christ Doctor stop being so fucking insane, prick!

I very much enjoyed the preview of the next episode though, Simm's looking very nice and I'm very much hoping seeing the Master again will inspire me to write more Master/Rani (which I'm currently considering putting into my NaNo actually).

Also I would so shag Peter O'Brian, everytime he came on all I could think was, my od he's sexy.

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:17:48 GMT

So...once NaNo's over does anyone fancy filling a line for me at a PB comm over at IJ? I have few ideas though mostly involving a much older man or a wannabe musician and the comm's set in London and seems pretty cool so far. I could just really do with something to keep me interested because no matter what I claim I do quite enjoy my ships.

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:17:18 GMT

I'm not gloating or anything but...I've just passed the half way mark in my NaNo! Am now at 25,106 words, with quite a lot of ideas. I also still need to go back and put in some earlier scenes for the lead up to various things, such as Pavel/Ushas sexings.

The Doctor's currently on the Enterprise and Donna has just called Chekov a kid. Ushas was not amused, Kirk kind of was.

With a bit of luck my Star Trek DVD will be here tomorrow or Monday so I can make a start on the Nero stuff.

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:43:57 GMT

NaNo hasn't gone great today, but I am still ahead. I'd intended to at least finish the scene I was doing, but instead got distracted by the idea of joining a new game :/

Hopefully tomorrow will be better, after I've had my bloody employment meeting thing :/ I may have a proper drunk though, that might help, it often does.

I'm still confident about my story and have decided that when I actually get to the sexings Ushas will be on top.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:18:40 GMT

So when the Doctor shows up on the Enterprise should he be alone or with Martha or Donna? Cannot decide!

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:54:45 GMT

Will I regret jumping ahead to the interesting post film plottiness in my NaNo? Because if I do that then I'm going to left with all these slightly dull bits that I need to fill in. Argh!

Also I'm at 13,000+ words now and think I'm about to write the first slightly drunken kiss between Ushas and Chekov, just before the whole Nero stuff goes down, well the night before at least.

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:41:49 GMT

11,300 words in one day bitches! Oh Chekov/Ushas you so inspiring! So far she's been mental and now he's accidently pissed on hyper vodka. If I didn't have to get to bed shortly I would be writing her shoving him fully clothed into her shower to sover him up. Mmmmm wet Russian jailbait! I'm trying to save the sex for after the events of the movie, whether this will be possible I have no idea.

Also I have anothe job interview tomorrow- in which I have to bring 'an item that represents myself' I'm taking my Jareth action figure, I don't even know why! It is for a toy shop though so maybe it'll work?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:32:04 GMT

Baring in mind that I've decided to crap my whole NaNo and start again with things I know I can write, are interesting and have plot ideas for so need to try and write at least 10,000 words today - should I try my new super energy drink that I bought yesterday?

For those interested I've decided that since I still sort of really miss the Star Trek game I was in that I'm going to attempt to use that, so my plan is to have to span from the moment Ushas was sent to Earth probably somewhere into a new five year mission. The Doctor will be there and maybe Martha, and definitely Spock (because I loved their relationship in the game), Chekov (because...well) and Gaila because Gaila is awesome and brings Ushas out of herself a little. The actual Rani may also appear and it is going to be epic!

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:16:52 GMT

I'm sure there was a reason why I wanted my Star Trek OC for NaNo to be a teen bit psychic, but I can't remember what it was :/

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:16:53 GMT

Okay so supposing for a moment I'd just gone totally insane and signed up for Nano - which of these should I write? (I only signed up because of a Star Trek Nano comm thus the fandom)

Some weird twisted mirror verse/reboot thing, in which the Rani fucks with the crew then buys Chekov?

A collection of tales set at the Academy, complete with OCs and rebooted versions of people not shown in the film?

One fic focusing on the journey of someone (maybe reboot!Janice Rand) during her Academy years and maybe beyond?

I had my job interview today. Think it went pretty well. The woman said she was impressed by how I answered the questions and she said she'd let me know on Saturday at which point I mntioned I might go and look for a uniform as I was already in Meadowhall and she semed to think that was a fairly good idea. So I guess we'll see. Either way it's good practise and it's nice at finally get an interview. Still fingers crossed.

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:39:50 GMT

I'm feeling very blah at the moment :/ I may try for an early night and see if that helps.

Also I got a job interview today, for H Samuels on Thursday. I'm pretty much shitting myself because I've not had a job interview in like six years or something and I'm not sure what to wear and I'm already fairly certain I'm not going to get it, but I'm going to hope for the best, and at least it's practise and is certainly a step in the right direction. I should probably start reading up on the company really, I'm not a big jewellery person :/

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:27:18 GMT

Well so far I have little faith in Remploy, the employment people I've been put with because I've been signng on for a bloody year! Having failed to get through on the phone twice they gave up trying, and then today I got a letter with an appointment in Doncaster! I'm down as having limited travel time because I've been ill and stuff, so am only meant to be looking fo work in Rotherham or Meadowhall, both of which are nice and easy to get to, Doncaster pretty much not. Plus I don't know the place at all.

So I phone up, get someone that only deals with Rotherham, asks where I live, where I sign on etc and is about as confused as I am as to why I've got an appointment in bloody Doncaster! So shes asking thm to phone me to sort it out. This was an hour ago. Oh that might be them now!

Or not.

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:58:27 GMT

Synthetic have started putting their playlists on Spotify, so now I can recreate the awesome of it any night of the week! Plus now I don't need to worry about missing La Roux if I need a wee!

I'm trying to work out if I want to volunteer to make ones for earlier events. I'm very good at putting stuff like that off though :/

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:32:26 GMT

Just came on here and was presented with an icon of Death instead of the actual site. Much creepier than you'd expect actually :/

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:55:08 GMT

Well it's official given enough halfway romantic RP exposure to any person/PB I will develop a 'thing' for them in real life. This is not good news when said person is someone I've hated (quite vocally) for many, many years. He is quite handsome though. I'll give him that. *grumbles*
