Kotoba no Renkinjutsushi ~ 言葉の錬金術師 ~

An 8am phone call, complete with yelling, tears and recrimination. And I haven't even had my goddamn coffee yet. This family sucks. It really, really does.

More appointments this week than I can count, and one very looooooong job interview. And I'm so out of practice with bullshitting. I sat there smiling like a moron and acting all peppy when all I really wanted to do was grab the interviewer by the front of the shirt and yell why the hell do you think I want this job? It's a fucking JOB.

Got a call from the Obama people at about nine-o-clock at night. And that was about the only group of people who could solicit me at that time of night (or any other time, really) and not receive an earfull of profanity and a dial tone. They want help carpooling up to New Hampshire to do canvassing. And god help me, I'm actually considering it. Although after the phone call this morning I've decided that (at least in my head), it's no longer called New Hampshire. It is now The-Unfortunate-State-That-My-Crazy-Asshole-Mother-Happens-To-Inhabit.

One good thing - the viewing party over at T'Lara's Cinema of Squee is Amok Time this week. I need to stock up on a 12-pack to get through the drinking game. Actually, there might not be enough booze in Gloucester to get me through that episode (and if there's one thing Gloucester has plenty of, it's booze). Why do I need so much beer for one episode? This would be why:

note:I didn't make this (but I wish I had)

So all Spirk fans check it out at 4pm tomorrow and celebrate K/S day. I think TV was invented for the express purpose of showing this episode. That and so we might all see the glory of Kirk in those red tights. I want to build a religion around his ass in those tights. In fact, next time the Jehova's Witnesses come to my door, I'm going to tell them all about it.

Am I weird (well, weird-er) because spending my morning reading overwhelmingly angsty love poetry leaves me *less* depressed than when I started? Does this one make anyone else shiver, or am I just hopelessly emo?

... Or mostly just to cheer ME up.
I saw an OTP meme on my f-list and thought I'd make my own. So here goes:

1. What was wour first OTP?
2. What is your latest OTP?
3. Which OTP/fandom has most severely EATEN your life thus far?
4. What OTP/fandom do you hate?
5. What is one thing that you'd really like to see in your OTP/fandom? What AU/Plotbunny/cracky thing would you love to see happen?
6. Pick an OTP and sell me on it.
7. Look at all your OTP's/fandoms. Do they have anything in common?
8. Have you ever gone from hating an OTP/fandom to 'shipping it? How?
9. Direct me to your OTP's most representative fanwork (fic/art/vid, etc.)
10. Name one thing you love and one thing you hate about your fellow fangirls/boys.

Answer one question or answer them all. Go to it!

GAH! What is the world coming to? Spirk is *the* slash from which all other slash arose. Just ask Wikipedia! And we're getting spanked.

Fangirls: Go to AFTERELTON's Ultimate Slash Madness Tourney and help correct this travesty of justice.

I reiterate: GAH!
