I HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE IN DUBLIN!

And may I say, thank god. I leave in less than a month (!) and up until now, it looked like I was going to be sleeping in doorways. But hurrah! My housing application--submitted late because of a bureaucratic fuck-up (I still haven't gotten one of the packets I was supposed to receive in JULY)--was accepted, even though I was told it probably wasn't going to be AND I was even given an ensuite single instead of a double or something horrific like that. Now I have to go look up PEARSE STREET and check out my new neighborhood! Yay!

Also, in less vital but nonetheless wonderful news, I wrote some fic for sga_flashfic. It's called "Sexual Healing," it's extremely silly, and it's here. And people like it! Wow! I am so relieved because this was my first attempt at writing SGA humor and I of course convinced myself it was crap. As usual, my reaction to my own writing went something like this:

While writing 1st draft
OMG, I am TEH BRILLIANT!

First re-read
Huh. That sentence doesn't make any sense. And all of this "humor" is kinda...forced.

Second re-read
I SUCK. For the good of humanity, I must never touch a keyboard again!

Two days/a month and a half/seven years later
Hmm. Maybe some of this is salvageable.

An hour later
Oh, what the fuck. *posts*

But yeah, I'm glad I got over myself because from what I've seen, SGA readers are encouraging and responsive and wonderful and I love them.

I LOVE THIS FANDOM!!!

Ahem. Well, I do.

You have housing! Yay!

Sorry I didn't get to the SGA fic--it was a busy week at work, filled with conversations with the French RA that made me turn pale . . . like the one where she wanted to know what comments, endnotes, and footnotes were.

So when are you working/free over the next week?

Yay! I don't have to live under a bridge!

Don't worry about the SGA fic. I was being melodramatic about it, and besides, peoplelikeitOMG! No, seriously: I have never gotten this kind of response to a piece of fanfic. Ever. I have two pages of comments. Two pages. ::snuggles SGA fandom:: ::sics them on the French RA::

I have, I believe, Tuesday and Thursday off, and I'm not doing anything particular--but I'd love to see you. We should...um, well I never have any ideas, but anyway, we should. ;-)

I have to give notice soon. I am scared.

I have two pages of comments.

I had to kill Sydney to get two pages of comments on a fic. ;)

We should...um, well I never have any ideas, but anyway, we should. ;-)

Thursday night is good, or I also have Friday off, should you want to do something that doesn't center around dinner/drinks (like shop/lunch or whatever).

I have to give notice soon. I am scared.

I could send you a mock acceptance letter if that would help put you in the proper mindset of lying. ("OMG, look what I got in the mail today!" *waves letter around, then quits* )

We should combine forces and write THIS fic:

John & Rodney: *pages of pointless banter*
Sydney: *dead*
Vaughn: *possibly also dead?*
John & Rodney: *sex*

We'd get the most comments EVER.

I have to work Friday, but I'd love to do something Thursday. *thinks*

And I appreciate the mock acceptance letter offer, but I think that might be overkill. ;-)

Oh! And totally OT: I just caved and bought extra userpics. Do you know where I could find some good VM icons? Specifically some pretty pretty Logan ones?

[chele74.livejournal.com]

Most of my icons are from veronica_icons. I've poked around some of the other VM icon communities, but haven't seen much that I liked. *shrugs*

Ah yes, my stages of writing, too.
Except when there is either a deadline or the waiting-for-a-beta and I keep wavering between crap/good. I've been at the wtf-postit stage for two days now and am slowly making it worse.
