Whining

[allyndra]

Um, yeah. This post is all whining. Sorry. The list of things that are annoying and bad:

~ My voicemail has suddenly stopped working. When I try to retrieve my messages, I get that "The number you have dialed is no longer in service" message. Tech support has so far been less than helpful.

~I missed the series 3 finale of Doctor Who because I had to work late on Friday. And since it was not only the finale, but also the conclusion of a three episode arc, I feel all unfinished.

~I bought a copy of The Watcher's Guide: Volume 2 for BtVS at the used bookstore, and the first owner apparently smoked heavily while reading it. I'm trying to figure out a way to fumigate it. Does Febreeze work on paper?

~I baked brownies, and they have gone stale. It's a waste of good chocolate.

~Over the course of the weekend, I was forced to watch several episodes of Hannah Montana. Why didn't someone kill Billy Ray Cyrus before he spread his genes to another generation? Why?

~I am stuck on two overdue fics, and I just keep staring at them, saying, "Why is everything I write such crap?" It's so frustrating! If only I could transplant stories directly from my head to the page, without all this tedious finding of the right words.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

Right there with ya!

*sends BIG bar of chocolate and BIG hug*

sometimes the crap just keeps coming doesn't it? BUT, then you have a good day and it all seems worthwhile; hopefully today is better for you :D

and if not... try reading some really good porn ;D

Thank you! I'm doing my best to make it a good day today.

try reading some really good porn Ahhh, the healing powers of porn. :o) I'll have to try that. I already know not to read angst (even if it has a happy ending) when I'm feeling down, as I get completely depressed. But porn on the other hand ...

~big huggles~ We all need a good whine now and again

We all need a good whine now and again And I can't exactly whine to my boss that work interfered with my Friday night TV schedule, now can I? Thanks for the support!

Hmm, well you could ... Dunno how that would go down, though. I moaned to my boss a few weeks ago that because I work part-time, I have to fit a whole day's worth of conversation into half a day, and that's why I can't focus sometimes :oD

if you put the brownies back into the oven on like 300 or so for 15-20 minutes you can generally bake out the staleness (you can also do this with chips). It just gets rid of the excess moisture.

and what you write isn't crap. It's lovely and unique and always a fun presentation of whatever fictional world you're playing in, so THERE.
although I'm sure the writing itself is a bitch :)

In general I'm okay with my writing. I look at some of the truly brilliant fanfic out there and sigh a bit, but my own stories aren't too bad, for the most part. It's just right now I have these stories that won't come out. I keep trying, and what ends up on the screen is not what I intended to put there. Hence the crap feelings. *scowls at waiting Word document* I'll get past it eventually. I think I'm going to spend more time with a paper and pen, as ideas seem to come better to me that way than when I try to write via keyboard.

Your brownie-revitalization method works pretty well. Thanks for saving my poor defenseless brownies!
