I thought if I stopped and waited about 24 hours I could pull my shit together enough to talk about the VM Season Finale. I was wrong. Sorta. Maybe. But I will say... ( Collapse ) Ok...so that was somewhat coherent.
But I've been sick and work has been crazy. I'm actually having a minor (very minor, the non-cutting you open (mostly) kind) surgical procedure done tomorrow. Something is possibly very wrong with my bladder...which has been not-fun. So they're gonna go in and check things out via a cystoscopy. I've had one before. Twice. And I have a really rough time with them. ( Collapse ) Anyway, any procedure where it's insanely painful and they put me to sleep equals surgery to me.
Since I've been going to like 2 or 3 doctor's appointments a week I have had to stay late a lot at work to make up my hours. And that doesn't leave me a lot of time for much of anything these days. But God am I glad I finally have health insurance.
I still LOVE my job and things are still going really well overall. I got my first "talking to" today from my boss. Which sucked, but she was really nice about it all. And very reassuring and just awesome. Basically I'm too direct and I have to learn to soft-glove it more with our clinicians. Plus, apparently the atmosphere at our company is very "old-school". As in, when you're the new kid, you're not supposed to participate in Meetings with Superiors. Don't speak unless you're spoken to, etc. Which is definitely rough for me because I like being in on the process and participating. But I can definitely learn to keep my trap shut. It's not the end of the world. And I have to learn to not show up others (which was never my intention, but that is apparently the occasional by-product of being on top of my shit). And even after ending up in tears (I really hate being misconstrued and it's upsetting to me that I might accidentally hurt someone else's feelings, especially when they are a super-nice person) I still love my job. Which is both surprising and pretty damn cool.
So...I did find out how my sister's dad died: ( Collapse )
But yeah...life is just chugging along at a breakneck speed and I wish I had more free time. I miss LJ. I miss my Flist. A LOT! I can't even go back enough entries to catch up my Flist anymore. It stops at 300. And God...300 is a lot all by it's damn self. But hopefully (post-surgery, post-diagnosis, post-working late or 10 hour work days) I'll be able to at least get back to keeping up and commenting a bit around LJ.
And OH MY GOD I'm dying to talk about VM but I can't. Not like I want to...Because I would have to make another whole post. Because I wouldn't want to spoil anyone who isn't current. But. Yeah. GOD!( Collapse )
So that's everything. Mostly. I miss you guys. Take care. Catch y'all post-recovery.
Ok, so I've been hiding out from LJ for over a week because I didn't get to see last week's episode of VM until tonite. Which was a really, really, really, really long wait.
And my plan is to post about both last week's and tonite's episodes very soon.
But can I just say that the fanfic is just starting to write itself about right now!?!?!!
And that is all. You guys know me, and you totally know what I am referring to. :D
I loved tonight's episode of VM. LOVED IT! Totally and completely. WOOHOO. Yeah, I'm a tad excited.
However, since I have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn, so that John can drop me off at work over an HOUR before I start work, so that he can take the car into the shop (because it just wouldn't start multiple times today and that damn check engine light was coming on), I need to go to bed. Like...10 minutes ago. Plus I'm both exhausted AND sore from work and running around. But I had to post because I'm going to bed happy post-VM for the first time in a long time. Yay! I'm glad there's something awesome to be excited about. :D
So there's been all this negativity enveloping my favorite fandom lately. Which really, really sucks. Because all the people I've met have been totally awesome and I've met some of my favorite people through the VM fandom.
I honestly think (and hope) that it's not some horrid virus spreading through the community. I hope that it's just a few people who were sadly emboldened, by the ability to comment anonymously, to become total asses. Which is really lame.
Here's a chance to show that you're not an ass. And that you LOVE VM. And how. The very cool bspalek has created a meme all about The Positive.
It's the most fun I've had all evening! :D
Well...I tried to go read the other meme. After hearing everything that the lovely and hilarious queen_haq had to say about it, I got curious. I settled down to laugh and enjoy the crazy. (And, probably, be outraged at the pettiness.) But after the first page (where there was only HAQ to keep me chuckling) there's just nothing. The meme broke LJ. Or at least that LJ. Oh well. My time is better spent elsewhere. :D
I don't want to be spoiled for next week's episode. I was just wanted to post and share what I saw. I'm just..SO FRICKIN' EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE!!!
And this week's episode was AWESOME too. I'll post more later. :D
So since I missed out on watching tonite's VM live, I'm gonna do a "I'm watching it right this second"-type post since I can pause and rewind at whatnot. :D
... And that is me expressing my concern about all the "gimmicky"-ness surrounding this season of VM. Don't get me wrong, I'm THRILLED that there's so much good buzz from last season that this season it became the Cool New Show. But it's like almost every week there's some new thing. I just don't want it to become all about the jazz and whatnot.
********** Oh, and pimpin' ain't easy but I have love so great for these communities that I can't help myself: If you thought "Poor, pretty Logan" when V was being *insert anything but the words "making out", "givin' him some" or other such activities* to him then you should totally check out: loganlovers4eva! We LOVE Logan. And we love pic spam. And we LOVE pretty much all things Logan. And food descriptions. And having nothing but slutty intentions toward Logan. I think I've painted an accurate picture. :D
If you think a VM episode isn't complete without some Dick (teehee), then you will kick yourself for not checking out: ourcabanaboy! It's all about the awesomeness of Dick. (I LOVE THAT HIS NAME IS DICK!) We also love other members of the Casablancas clan. Come on by: There are some really cool icons that lostt1 made (and I'd already be using some except I don't have a paid account, so I'm limited on my icon usage). Plus, some sexy Dick pic spam!
And, last but not least, if the sight of V/D (or VD as I like to put it) makes you want to hurl up every dinner you've had for the past week then this community is for YOU: vm_penicillin! I love this community to PIECES! It makes me laugh, it lets me vent my VDRage! It's good times all around. There are polls and challenges and icons you can make Mock-Captions for and there's PLENTY of snark. I LOVE SNARK!
