In the last six episodes or so, The Secret Circle had really started getting good. And the ending was a MAJOR cliff hanger, with just about every string left untied.

And they canceled it.

*SOBS*

Charles has early QaF Brian hair. It is seriously weirding me out. I liked it better when his hair was different. It was ugly. But somehow having different hair magically made it easier for me to look at him and not think of Brian.

PS. I don't really know why I am still watching this show. Except I like Faye. And Diana. And Melissa. But not Cassie. She sucks. And not the boys. They suck too.

Um.

Why have I never seen a mention of the show Husbands on my IJ flist?

It's totally unacceptable that I find out about a gay series at a comicon and not here. You know the place where I come to obsess about a gay tv show.

And btw hearing Buffy and Queer as Folk mentioned in the same discussion = magical. Jane Espenson, I seriously heart you.

I've had my period since Mid-December.

I just need to have a moment to indulge in self-pity over that fact.

I mean seriously, can you imagine having your period for 4 months?

I don't know why today I've suddenly decided to lose my shit over this. But I have. I can't take it anymore.

It is Friday. I figured porn and fluff should be on the agenda. From back in the days when I would just randomly write fic for no reason at all. I miss those days. I'll stop saying that "this is one of my faves." Because chances are, if it wasn't, I wouldn't be reposting it.

So our rat cage didn't stay empty very long.

Our local humane society had a 24 hour adopt-athon today. And about 11pm I looked and saw the two girl rats who were there last week were still there. And it didn't seem right that there would be an adopt-athon where no ratties got adopted. So what can I say. We went and got them. We got there at 11:50pm and by 12:55am were headed home with our new buddies.

I'll post some pic tomorrow.

I am LIVID.

Here is what transpired.

Thursday night, C's grandpa died.

First thing friday morning: "Hey (Ny's Supervisor) C's grandpa died last night, I am just giving you a heads up that I will need off next week for a day probably. I will let you know exactly when as soon as I know.

Friday Afternoon: Ny To Ny's Supervisor - "I will need off Tuesday."
Supervisor - "Ok. Fill out a slip."

Monday Morning: Ny gets returned slip in mailbox, notices a note that says "I think you will need to take vacation time for this."

So Ny goes to supervisor, "I will need to take vacation time for this?"

Supervisor: "I think so, I have to double check. Spouse's grandparents aren't covered in our policy."

Ny: "I know they aren't covered directly, but our policy states, 'Funeral leave for other people who are not members of the immediate family will be granted at the discretion of the department.'"

Supervisor: "Uh, yeah. I'll get back to you."

Time passes.

1pm
Supervisor: "Are you registered as domestic partners with the college?"
Ny: "Yes. And legally, with the state."
Supervisor: "Because that might make a difference. Either way, just enter it as vacation time in case I don't see you before you leave and we can fix it when you get back.

2:30pm: Ny is literally on her way out the door, Supervisor sees her and says in passing, "BTW, you will have to take it as vacation time."

2:31pm Ny punches out and has melt-down.

Because aside from being jerked around like this. And aside from the fact that I work for uncaring assholes. C and I will now have to completely replan our summer vacation because I didn't have an extra vacation day to spare.

So where was I? :D This one was written for a qaf_giftxchnge. Rereading it tonight sorta made my day. I love this one and it is one of the few fics I read of my own in which nothing at all makes me cringe.

This might possibly be the most offensive fic I've ever read, or attempted to read, rather. I couldn't actually finish it. Seriously. Don't click this link unless you want to be offended and nauseated. I really need to stop following links from Get It Here.

C's Grandpa died on Thursday. I'm thankful that he wasn't home suffering very long, about a week. And when he passed he was at home with his 3 children, his wife and one of his grandchildren. What more can you ask for?

Aside from that, sweet little Echo had to be put to sleep this morning. She was our last one of our rats. We will be taking a short break from pocket pets for now I think. :(

Not such a great weekend.

I'm staying at my current job. ( If any one cares why I decided this, I'm writing it out, so next month, when I'm totally pissed off, I can look back and remember why. )

PS. I promise to continue with the QAF posts tomorrow. I just had a lot of drama going on with the job thing and interviews that last few days.

So even though I'd made up my mind not to take the retail job, I went on the second interview. And it went really well. And now I'm confused again.

See the thing is this: My current job makes me feel bad about myself. ( long rant about my job )

I guess I don't hate my job as much as I think I do.

Or at least not enough to decrease our monthly income by the amount we would have had to. The retail job is a No for me. Aside from the pay decrease, the health care expense increase, and going from 8 paid holidays to 2. Not to mention losing a week of vacation time. The commute just isn't worth it. I did a test run tonight. 25 minutes in no traffic. Probably 40-50 in traffic. My current commute is 5-7 minutes. I'd be spending $100 more just in gas every month.

So I'm officially stuck. After 3 years of job searching, this was the best I could come up with, and it isn't going to work...

I have decided to get a gym membership though. At a good gym, with a pool. It is like $100 a month for both C and I. But it is the trade-off of staying at the job I have right now.

Somebody please talk me out of taking a job in retail that would be less pay and irregular hours including most weekends and holidays and some evenings.

For some reason bizarre because usually I verge on being a justinite and he is no where to be found in any of these! I became obsessed with Brian at the very very end of 513 once upon a time. And did an entire icon post just of him "dancing". It suffered comment rot Oh the humanity!. But one lovely fangirl dropped in one day to tell me again how found she was of it. And since she dropped by IJ today, after a long absence, I thought this would be a good choice for my repost today. :D They look a bit dated now but I still love them.

Teasers:



( My icon tribute to 513 Brian - 33 Icons )

*if you want any of these, YAY, that makes me my day. commenting and crediting would make my week. all caps came from KWAF. textless icons are not bases, thank you.

jule1122 has been reposting her drabble from her "100 Drabbles" set. Among them was the drabble she did for the crack!fic prompt. Which reminded me of the crack!fic challenge. And how funny some of them were, and insane and LONG. I think Whore in a Hoody had to have set some sort of drabble series record. And not just in QaF fandom, but in like all of fandom.

The funniest and most brilliant of them? Hands down had to be Justin is a Rap Star by queerasfruit. If you haven't read it before, you really must. If you have, go read it again!

ETA: I'd COMPLETELY forgotten that I made Whore in a Hoody icons. :D

Since I skipped a day, I figure I could at least offer up some porn. This is probably my favorite fic that I wrote for a bj_action challenge. And indeed the Theme #5: Kinnetik challenge overall was one of my favorites.

As always, use the Original Post link if you want warnings, etc.

But I was very busy updating my resume this evening.

And then I applied for a job. That took like 3 hours to complete the application. It was so ridiculous.

And I don't even know if it is a job I'd want.

But I figured...Why not?? Lord knows I don't like my current job.

:D

This one suits my mood. It was written for the Small Things Made Large challenge at qaf_challenges. The first part is a drabble (14) written by fansee. And I am certain that when she wrote it, she didn't anticipate someone writing what I did. lol. If you want warnings, etc. Use the original post link.
