Longest subject line ever.
Anyhow.
Yes.
It is my Friday night.
I worked hard today, man.
I was even productive after work: phoned up my Fifisister and sicced her onto the Buy Katy Stuff project. (Do I know how to delegate or what?) She immediately rattled off five or six places where she had seen such a thing, and said "Pff, I'll get it and send it tomorrow. No problem."
I've already spent three or four hours looking for such a thing, but of course I hadn't tried any of the places she listed. (Wal-Mart? Good lord, do we have such a thing here? I guess Target doesn't count.)
Fi-filona is the queen of retail establishments, so a much better handler of such a task.

I feel virtuous. Also, very sleepy. I almost zonked out prior to eating dinner but then decided to make myself stay up reasonably late instead. As it is I wake up at 6 without meaning to: I shudder to think what'd happen if I went to bed at 8:30.

To eat today I have had a dozen or so snap peas, the last from the garden I think, eaten raw as I picked them because I was hungry while I was watering the garden. (The experimental second crop has not yet sprouted. I am impatient. Although the lettuce has indeed come up.) Then I had half a chicken caesar salad over the course of four hours at work until I threw the wilted nasty thing out. Then I came home and considered my options, and opted to... Go to Anderson's and get an ice cream cone instead.
God, I am a poster child for healthy eating.
Looked at self in mirror. Looked skinnyish, but then looked up and was struck anew by the rather freakish aspect of the whole boob area. it's just... Not proportional.
But that's OK. They're my bodyguards. If I ever go completely crazy, I am sure each of them will have her own personality and will talk to me. Yeesh.

Wrote something last night, which was nice-- short fragment of early-middle-aged Eomer/Lothiriel, a product of both amusement at some RL tomfoolery and a bit of mulling I've been doing over Lothiriel's very difficult personality. The entire reason I am into fanfiction is that I have always loved Eomer, and so when i was looking him up in Google (it having just occurred to me that I could find information about LotR on the Internet OMG what with the movies and all), I found various fanfics. In most of them, he was slashed with somebody. And the few het ones all made Lothiriel anachronistic and, usually, tomboyish to a rather ridiculous degree. In response I wrote the poorly-researched but entertaining novella up at OSA, in which Lothiriel is an anachronistic femme fatale instead, just for variety. But then of course I had to take it seriously and start a for-real, non-A/U version that's how I really think the story should go (I do take these things too seriously, but then, that's partly what fanfic is about), and now she is an overbred, overeducated neurotic upper-class depressive too intelligent for her own good, who I love to pieces. I just wish I could finish the story, but all I ever get are fragments. And I was thinking how rare it is to find sympathetically Difficult female characters, but then thought perhaps my representative sample is too small...

Anyhow it was nice to visit them, I suppose my OTP, but the fragment as published on

treigylgweith isn't really comprehensive enough to get across any of what I really was thinking about. Still, I wrote something, which is a first for the month at least. I've been as dry as the weather. Maybe I'll get something done tomorrow.

And maybe Dave'll get a job tomorrow! Still waiting to hear back from the interviewer from Thursday.........
