Fiddle-Dee-Dee, Said Scarlett

So before I learned that it was my computer, not my wireless card that was on the fritz, I was going to write about the bizarre dream I had last night.

I was rooming with burningvigor, and she'd gotten the last Harry Potter book. But she didn't want to actually read it, so she gave it to me. I started reading it, and a few pages in, I look at her and go 'fuck!'. She asks what's wrong, and I explain that reading the book has sucked me back into HP fandom.

Then it shifted, and I was on this ice island and there were all these animals, and a bunch of other messed up stuff including Disney cartoon villains and royal marriages, and I was being spied on by these two people I used to know - both of whom I had bad fallings out with. One of them was Schiz, the other was this chick I met through Schiz. The bizarre thing about the dream was that they were friendly with each other, when they had had a major falling out. They were following my LJ, it was very odd.

I've decided to write my Pride/Sloth desk-pr0n on my laptop and...no, nevermind. I can't use my thumbdrive to transfer it to Tres, because Scorpius's USB ports don't work. Damn it all... I guess I'll just burn it to a CD. Assuming that still works.

Also? Why, oh why did I allow myself to look at the Good Omens scents on BPAL? WRYYYYYY? *wants War, Crowley and Aziraphale*

My Loveraft scents came today! I came home to BPAL! Yay!

( Rundown of What I Got )

I've been waiting for this collection for so long, and I'm so thrilled with it. Definitely worth the wait! Also, I got a lab postcard that didn't make me creeped out!

And now, to clean.

Mmm, sleep. I slept damn well last night, and woke up feeling revitalized and actually eager to get to doing things!

I've been working on my original writing, on a piece for Flesh and Blood press. They're a surreal fantasy/horror magazine, dealing in fiction that's less gory and violent and more disturbing and creepy. mehitabelcat, would you be able to look over it when it's done? (Which will be, er, I really don't know. It's only going to be around 5,000 words, so it shouldn't take me too long to finish the rough draft.)

I am also wibbling. I really, really want to do the BPAL Trick or Treat Inquisition, but there's the issue of money. I'm trying to save my money, and while I can afford it, I feel like it would be a frivolous purchase. But I love the Trick T-shirt and the sound of both the Trick scents. And this is only available until October 15th, whereas the Order of the Dragon collection is live through December, giving me plenty of time to order the scents I want when I am feeling more comfortable in my savings. I decided not to do the Naughty or Nice Inquisition last Christmas, and I still regret that. I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret not doing the Trick or Treat one this year.

Ah well, there's always the next Inquisition.

It's rainy and icky today and Weather Bug won't shut up about alerts. And I really, really need to clean my room soon. Maybe I'll get to that tomorrow.

*flails like a flailing thing*

Bah, Wednesdays! So long and exhausting. Halfway done with cleaning stuffs as of this post. I've got more commentaries to do, something else I need to take care of, and dinner making. Somewhere in there, I'd like to get a chance to write.

I'm feeling rather frayed and rabid at the moment!

But I'm setting myself up a reward system, to encourage me to work on my writing. Every time I complete a story - write it, edit it, polish it, the works - I will allow myself to order one 5ml bottle of BPAL.

Which means I can place an order once I'm done with the editing on The Blurred Line.

Editing's the part that I really, really hate. I'll drag my heels and make excuses and whatnot to not get around to editing. I think I have all of two stories that have been edited.

And I should get back to cleaning!

OMG!

I came home and there was not one but two packages waiting for me! It was a wonderful surprise to come home to, as I'd been expecting one today and one tomorrow!

Thank you so much, scribbulus_ink and visionshadows! The imps arrived today, and they're wonderful! I'm in love with Whitechapel, Port-Au-Prince, Noctnista and Bengal! They're all wonderful, and we can't thank you enough! And the tea! That was so sweet!

Thank you so much!
