Dear Show,

WHY ARE YOU SO BORRIIIIIING?? 

Also, now that Owen has transformed into a total douche, lets get rid of him and keep Cristina's new hottie, k?

Wake me up when Meredith has a storyline again.

No love,
Me.

An enjoyable episode of Grey's?  I almost don't know what to do with myself.

( oh, derek shepherd )

So I'm still around.  Just quieter or something.  Less post-y?  That should be a word.  Anyway, yes.  I've been busy with school lately and lots of not thinking about just how close to adultdom I am right now.  7 more months until graduation...eeeek.  

Also seriously contemplating dying my hair dark brown again.  I like dark hair in the winter.  Why this is news, I do not know.

But yes.  I have a confession to make.  I still haven't been able to bring myself to watch the latest episode of Grey's.  Because just ohmygod, Show, why so boring?  These Mercy Westites (my new name for them because I've decided Westites rhymes vaguely with parasites.  And I do so love a good vague rhyme.)  But they are killing my love for Grey's.  And fast.  I'm hoping the ALL DEREK ALL THE TIME episode will do something to renew my love because it is very hard to work on LitToS with this much ambivalence going on inside my head.

Speaking of LitToS, ummm, I'm really very sorry about the lack of updates?  And I'll try to do better, but in my defense, fanfic is my fun hobby and when Grey's insists on being VERY VERY UNFUN it makes me not want to go play in that world.  Then there are the characters who have moved into my head and started living there lately (because that doesn't sound crazy at all), and I'm kinda way more in love with them than I've ever been with Meredith and Derek because, well, these ones are mine.  So yeah.  I've been writing a lot of my own stuff lately instead of fanfic.  Because that's kinda an important step in my super secret maybe write a book one day plan.  That said, I'm not abandoning LitToS and I do want to finish it and be a good little fic updater, so feel free to guilt trip accordingly. :D

 

So.  Grey's.  I hate these new people so much.

( I mean that was uniformly awful. )

Why is it that ABC can’t seem to air shows on the internet without them glitching all the time?? I think it took me about six hours to watch an hour long episode. Ugh. So anyways, I was pretty bored during most of Grey’s. And the tortuously slow pace of the stupid glitching feed did not help. At all.

( But at least there was a snippet or two of cute MerDer? )

The Office, ILU.  Lots.

( So, this is not so much a review as it is a list of things I loved. )

I don't often talk about my other TV love here (obviously given the lack of so much as one suitable icon).  But, you guys... JIM AND PAM ARE GETTING MARRIED.  Today.  In a little over an hour.  I do not even know what to do with myself until then.  Maybe bounce around uncontrollably.  That's sounding like a plan.  Because it's going to be a real wedding.  As opposed to a post-it.  And I will not have to call them "married" with little quotes around the word all the time.  (Remember my long standing post-it wedding grudge?  Yeah.  It endures.) 

So, yeah, you guys.  The unthinkable has happened.  Another TV show has trumped Grey's and slipped into the view it live spot.  At least for tonight.  Because, um.  Jim and Pam.  Married.  As in she's going to be Mrs. Pam Halpert.  And I am going to be weepy and delighted.  I feel a teensy bit guilty because it's finally a Meredith episode.  But it's a Meredith episode with Thatcher and Lexie.  And most likely Richard too.  And I am just sooo sick of their faces.  So, Grey's review will not be up until some time tomorrow.  But I may return later to post incoherent flailings about MR. AND MRS. HALPERT.  Yeah. :DDDD 

So that was a cute episode.

( But… )

Well, it didn’t make me cry.

( but Callie was gorgeous, yes? )

So, can I just say how glad I am that Ellen gave her baby girl a normal name.  Instead of, you know, calling her something like Acorn.  Or Thimble.  Whatever celebrities are naming their kids these days.  And it's a pretty name at that.  Stella Luna.  It sounds elegant.  It's fun to say, being all nice and roll-y on your tongue.  And it means Star Moon in Latin.  I'm all for things that go with the night sky.  It's twinkly up there.

Also, I love that the baby was born on the 15th and we're just now hearing about it.  Because it's a baby.  Not a publicity piece.  Oh, EP.  This is how you make my girlcrush grow. 

Also, also.  I need to do something about my layout.  It's all summer themed and it's just not so summery anymore.  I even wore a scarf today.  (Mad love for scarves.)  So yeah.  Changing it is in order.  Either that or moving to Australia. 

Oh, and flist, tell me things.  If you were to, say, backpack around Europe this coming summer (only in impractical shoes and with a stylish bag instead of backpack) where would you go?  Because I might possibly be going traveling this summer after I graduate, and while I'm very not inclined to rough it, I'm also not made of millions.  So I need ideas.  I'm currently thinking England (again) and Ireland because of the accents oh my god.  But yes.  Any suggestions? 

And Grey's tomorrow.  This is feeling very surreal.  It also means I should maybe figure out how to hook up the tv.

I still haven't decided if I'm excited for season six yet. I suppose I'll find out on Thursday. At any rate, here's the next chapter of Lit Toss. Complete with The Scene. You know the one.

So, these new Grey's spoilers are not making me happy.  I watch Grey's Anatomy.  Grey's as in Meredith Grey.  I have no interest in watching this new Everybody's Anatomy.  Especially when everybody only includes a measly TWO of the fabbity fab five.  I mean seriously, what is this crap?  I'm very, very happy that The Office is already making me giddy this year because I refuse to watch Mer-less, Izzie-less, George-less Grey's episodes live. 

In other news, the last year of college has officially started.  Real, official adulthood just refuses to stop creeping closer.  I have nine months to get used to the idea.  Just like a baby, only not as cute. 

Also, the next chapter of LitToS is shaping up to not take as freaking long as the last one did!  I haven't got the whole thing written yet, but I just finished writing The Scene.  The one that deals with Mer and Der and the forgotten proposal.  And I am jumping up and down a little here now.  I'll try to write, write, write super fast so that you guys can (hopefully!) jump up and down too.

Also, also? Joel McHale of The Soup has a new show that starts tomorrow, and I'm feeling extra excited and determined to watch it.  Because I have such a crush on him and all his snarkiness.  Also his ridiculously skinny ties.  They make me smile. 

So this post is way overdue. Chapter 18 took about a century to write. I blame my Grey’s enthusiasm being at an all time low. I know EP’s uber preggers and not around much, but Show, is it that hard to give me one measly promo pic of MerDer together? Preferably comforting each other? Because the majority of the season six news has just been oh so lackluster and blah, and I could really use a boost here. Think of it as a fangirl vitamin, k? I need them to function.

Anyway, I know I’ve been crap about replying to comments and posts and everything. I’m sorry! Now that I finally have the next chapter written, I’ll get around to that. And, if you’re still patiently waiting around for this story, thank you. You are a saint.

Which means I finally have time to breathe.  And this is nice, very nice.  Except for the part where I already miss all my cute little guys. 

( some july highlights )

So, yeah.  I've been a little not here lately.  Or a lot.  And I feel awful for my shameful lack of posts and comments and fic updates, so I'm making it official.  I'm on a semi hiatus through the end of July.  I'm not even sure a semi hiatus is an actual thing, but let's make it one because I'm writing the next chapter of LitToS in my occasional five seconds of free time.  And should I get it completed before the end of July, I'll go ahead and post it anyway.  So, yeah.  Semi hiatus, k?

In the meantime, I hope you guys all have a wonderful July.  I'll be back when summercamp is over.  For now, I'm off to enjoy my handpicked clover boquets, neverending storytimes and all the little hands I get to hold.  See you in August!

So, I know I haven't updated LitToS in forever.  And I'm sorry.  I really, really am.  Life's been keeping me very busy these days and probably will through the end of July.  But...I'm updating now.  And I'll update again as soon as I possibly can.  Many, many thanks for being patient and awesome and putting up with my snail-esque writing speed.  I hope everyone's having a great summer!

Soo, it seems I've used up all my magical free time.  Oh how I miss it.  The next update to LitToS is almost done, but I'm now watching my large army of small children all day everyday.  And I'm tired.  And exhausted.  Also tired again.  As soon as I fix the whole dead brain problem and think thoughts other than "Wash your hands for snack!" and "We don't run in our class!" I promise I will edit and post chapter 17.  But right now, I just want to sleeeeeppppp.

On the bright side, one of the kids made me a drawing of a blue-haired* me wearing a coconut on top of my head. 

*My hair is brown.  Also, I have never worn a coconut.  As a hat or anything else.

*obligatory twirl*

I’ve been wanting to do more than just change the header since pretty much forever, and now that I have been inundated with shiny, magical free time, I finally did it. Do let me know if anything is broken because I was tweaking the CSS all over the place and I do not actually know how CSS works at all. It was an ADVENTURE. Also, a headache. But, it is done, and I’m kinda in love with it a lot?

In other news, my subconscious apparently thinks that Susan Boyle and William Hung would make a good couple. Because that is what I dreamt the other night. It was such a convincing dream that I may have possibly googled it when I woke up to make sure it hadn’t already happened for real. But no luck. I was apparently the only one aware of the BREAKING NEWS going on inside my head.

In case you have been avoiding pop culture for many, many years…

( i will educate you! )

I spent the whole night watching the two of them engage in couch cuddling and have awkward conversations about touching. Inside of my head. While I was trying to SLEEP. Subconscious, what is wrong with you??

Except now, I kinda really want to set them up on a blind date for real? I mean, she can sing. He can do that thing with his hips. Clearly they’d both bring a lot to the table in this relationship. And with their shared experience appearing on reality TV, the conversation topics would be endless! Should they run out of ideas, they can always fall back on talk of awkward touching. Or, you know, if you’re my subconscious, start there first.

Slightly faster update you guys! Oh free time, ILY!

But I’ve been wanting to do this 70 facts meme that was floating around on the flist a few days ago. And now that finals are officially over, I have time to breathe. And, you know, talk about myself excessively.

( when i say excessively, i do mean excessively )
