Oh life!

As far as real life goes things are moving along. Work is good. I really like all my co-workers and what I do. Typing is calming to me (which I obviously thinks come from all the writing I do for fandom) and there's always something to do so the day passes really quickly. The only big drawback is that it doesn't pay well. I mean it does for someone with no education, but for having a masters degree it's really just a joke. We're official moving in March though so I'm looking for something more in my field. I want to be a key account relationship manager. We'll see how it goes. I think I'd actually be good at it though. 

The only other drawback to the office is all the DRAMA. There's around 100 women all in the same space so things often get out of hand as I'm sure you can imagine. Fortunately it doesn't really bother me. Except for when it threatens my work value or character. Most of the lawyers are elitist jerks, but I don't see most of them and the ones I do work with are nice (most of the time).

Next week we're moving out of my parents house and into our own apartment closer to our current jobs. I'M EXCITED!!!!! Living with my mom has been nice since they're moving so far away and I won't get to see them often, but I need my own space like whoa. If I don't get time to myself I get grumpy and feel on edge. I've been trying to cope but I'm starting to feel boxed in and am just SO READY for Jared and I to have our own place again. Not to mention our own internet that actually works. 

As for fandom I added 3k words to my superbang fic that I wasn't sure I was actually going to do. It's an infidelity fic and I normally won't touch the subject. I don't know why my muse wanted to write it. I've been in weird moods lately and it's been strangely easy to write. Though writing everything from Allison's point of view is kind of strange. She's an odd character that I actually don't care for very much. Regardless, I do like what I have so far. It's going to be angsty and a little dark. Mainly I'm just proud of doing something so far out of my comfort zone even though I doubt anyone will even read it >.> <.<

I haven't been able to watch the past two Merlin's because I don't have a good enough connection to download them :((( I've seen spoilers on Tumblr and dear goodness me, I NEED TO SEE THESE EPS LIKE I NEED AIR!!!!! NEXT WEEKEND I'M DOWNLOADING THEM ALL!!! 

Supernatural...well I can't even deal with all the feelings of the Destiel. No really, if I try and talk about I'll end up in a giant pile of goo and feelings. 

TVD has been amazing and I'm super excited to see where they go with it. Overall just super happy to have my fall lineup back. WOOT!!

These big epic fics are seriously about to kill me.

My muse is so much easier to please when I do cute little one shots when inspiration hits. These monster fics are making my muse get all kinds of grumpy. grrrr she really needs to get over this!

Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couch bound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.

Hmmm I kind of like that :)

Well I had a pretty good weekend! How about all of you?

Friday night I was exhausted after having to function all day on only four hours of sleep. We played The Settlers of Catan and I was a bit snarky considering I'm already a competitive person and I had no filter whatsoever with the exhaustion.

Saturday I literally did nothing but work on my hols fic. [livejournal.com profile] wolfangeldeath were in chat all day and she was the best. encouraged me and then kicked me in the butt when I needed it :) Thank you to everyone for your support! I finished editing it this morning and now it's off to my other beta.

After finishing my fic last night we went to a friends house and had a couple drinks. I didn't think I had that much, but I'm apparently I lightweight these days, and ended up pretty drunk. It was fun though, some girlfriend of mine were there that I hadn't seen in a while and we had some really nice girl time. Sadly I did manage to pull a muscle in the middle of my shoulder blades and it hurts. Only other downfall was that I got really mad at my husband over something completely stupid. I was honestly a complete and utter bitch and I feel terrible about it today. I have no idea what was up my butt, but I said some of the most hateful things ever- for no reason! I've apologized, and he's not even upset cus he knew I was being drunk and ridiculous....but I'm still upset with myself. Words can really hurt people and I try so hard to watch what I say. My mother raised me to be sensitive to other people's feelings. Plus I really have very little respect for wives that belittle their husbands. I want to be treated like a lady and in turn I try to treat my husband with respect and like he's a man. I feel like I undid four years of respect in one drunken escapade. *sigh* He's so laid back but I don't feel like sorry was enough. I'm just so confused as to what set me off like that. I think I need to pull out the old journal and spend time doing some self reflection.

ANYWAYS...No Once Upon a Time tonight :( But I did watch Merlin and Supernatural this weekend. Thoughts:

wow, I don't know how it happened, but I think I actually got caught up on all my tv this week! So here's my reviews:

Ringer

This show is keeping me intrigued enough to keep dvr'ing it, but I'm certainly not all 'omg is it Tuesday yet?'

American Horror Story

OMG!! This show is just so good! I'm completely hooked! This episode was particularly great! I felt so horrible for Tate :(


Vampire Diaries )

Secret Circle

This show is picking up and I'm SO glad! I may be a bit of a Jake/Cassie shipper now :)

Supernatural

LOVING THIS SEASON LIKE WHOA!!!!!!  Oh boys <3

Merlin )

Once Upon A Time

LOVING this show!!! Prince Charming and Snow are just too adorable. Though I looked it up and Snow White's prince was actually just "The Prince". Cinderella's prince was actually "Prince Charming" and so was Sleeping Beauty's, but he also had a real name of "Prince Phillip".

Meh, not super awesome reviews this week. I'm tired and lazy and have one more week of crazy grad school before I can be free again!

I had such a marvelous weekend! Minus feeling panicky over homework again of course.

Friday night we played beer pong and my husband and I totally kicked ass. We won a total of ten games, seven of them in a row. We were a "dynasty +2" so that was pretty cool. I actually prolly played the best I ever had-got on fire and then made two more cups after yippee!

And of course Supernatural was Friday night!! I haven't actually done any reviews yet for the season so here's my thoughts to date:
Supernatural )
Saturday night I went and saw Paranormal Activity 3. It was really good! My spoilery thoughts are behind the cut.
Paranormal Activity 3 )

After we watched the movie we went out to a club for drinks with some friends. I hadn't had a really good vodka cranberry in SO long- made me so happy. Once we left the bar we were supposed to all meet up at ihop but our friends ditched us. It ended up working out perfectly though cus my hubby and I sat together at IHOP and talked about all kinds of stuff. He's not really a talker and I am (I was in debate in h/s and college if that tells you anything) so it was wonderful to have some good conversation with him.

Sunday I did a little homework and reached my 5k goal for my Merlin Holidays fic!! YAAAAYYYY!!! It's nowhere near being close to done, but I'm still happy I hit my goal. I also watched Once Upon a Time. My thoughts:

Once Upon a Time )

And that was my weekend! I hope you all had a good time as well!!
