OMFG I was so bored. ;_; That's what happens every so often at work. >.> It was a slow day, anyway, being that it was the day before a national holiday. I work for the gov't, so we were all chillin' at work, doing hardly anything of serious consequence. And my boss rocks! He looks at me at about 3pm and says, "What are you still doing here? Go home!" ^^ I got to leave 2 hours early! Wheee!

Fan fiction culling, fun. We don't have much on MM for us to do that yet. I don't even have a lot on the Court to do that. *shrugs* I guess I'm not that popular. Of course, MM is booming, much to my surprise. Got 39 members over at MMF. >.> The newest one seems interesting, as they found our site through some link that I can't ID. I've asked for a clarification out of curiosity. ^^ #

Hmmm.... {{gets the distinct impression that Laura was mega-bored}} #

Well, it's started. Today I spent time working on AFR so I can get all the changes I want to do finished before July 16th. I can't work on the fanfiction archive stuff until the 16th because I gave authors until the 15th to contact me as to what they want me to do with their fics that I will no longer be hosting. I realized a couple months ago that I'm hosting a lot of CRAP in the fanfic archive, so I'm correcting that mistake by being a bit more selective in the fics I will keep and accept. Plus I needed to convert some pages to the layout that has become the symbol of AFR. LOL ^^:; #

Looks like they fixed blogger somewhat. Now at least you can see the previous posts, etc. *sigh* Doesn't look like they improved anything. Just made new graphics and called it 'new and improved'. Meh...

Danny! Go read my blog! :D It's got Digimon silliness on it! *grins insanely*

OMFG. I hate Microsoft FrontPage. Sodding program likes to randomly exit out on me, without saving whatever I'd been working on. This makes life difficult when I'm trying to redesign the thrice-damned layouts of the websites here at work. *sigh* But that gives me something to do at least. Work's kinda dull for the most part when I'm downstairs. Listening to John be self-important or chewing louder than a cow two cubicles over is not my idea of fun. I've already got a little countdown up on my wall in my little cell. >.> 19...well, 18.5 days now until my summer shift ends and I never have to see John EVER again. Woot!

Ever have a song describe me? Hmm, not that I can think of, but I always hear songs that I think go really well with fan fiction ideas, or I get ideas for fics from songs. And yet I've never written a songfic. Go figure. At least that's how I get inspiration. ;) Maybe I should write a songfic sometime. I've tried starting them every so often, but I can't ever finish them. Sounds like a lot of the fics I start.

Speaking of fics I keep meaning to finish, the new and improved, Book-Five-edited version of the MM-based fic has stalled. Big surprise there. ;) We're all busy people, what can I say? Though, if what I'm thinking is going to happen later today happens--people stream out of the office as it's Independence day tomorrow--I'm going to sit down and write for a while, emailing it to myself and Mandie. It's so totally quiet in the office that I have nothing else to concentrate on, which can be very helpful. Maybe I'll have my headphones on too! ^^

Crap, that made me realize something! @_@ I'm dressed like Asakura Yoh from Shaman King today. What the hell? I did NOT do this on purpose. >.> All I need it to roll my sleeves up. *sigh* I don't do this intentionally ever. Unless I'm cosplaying, and then I'm usually wearing a cosutme I had to sew. Argh, I keep meaning to draw and be creative, and then I go and get all tired. ;_; I really want to draw, but I've been so tired this week that I could barely stay up to answer email when I was home yesterday. All I wanted to do was watch TV and go to bed. At least I have a temporary window-unit air conditioner! I [heart] the repairmen! Unfortunately, I can't have the a/c and my hair dryer going at once. I found that this blows the circuit. ^^; Well, I can turn the a/c off for the brief time it takes to dry my hair.

Meh, back to work. Will write fic-ness later! ^^ Aren't you all just so exicted? *laughs* #

Song Of The Day

Good Enough
Darren Hayes

If I woke up late Couldn’t get out of bed If I bought you a cafe latte instead
If I lied when I said 32 inches was the size of my waist And if I admit every
once in a while Even though I dig alternative style Occasionally I can be
caught dancin’ to Brittany And can I confess That art house doesn’t turn me on
But I like every single thing that Speilberg’s done

Could I be good enough Could I be good enough If the going got worse and the
worse got rough The days became endless and harder than tough I’d be good
enough Better than best would be simply to be good enough If everything I give
doesn’t seem like a lot If it’s all that I got Baby tell that could be good
enough

Where I grew up The rent was cheap But we always had enough to eat Didn’t have
fancy clothes I never really cared coz there were shoes on my toes And motherly
love I knew it like the back of my hand She always had a way to make me
understand I could be good enough I could be good enough If the going got worse
and the worse got rough The days became endless and harder than tough I’d be
good enough Better than best would be simply to be good enough If everything I
give doesn’t seem like a lot If it’s all that I got Baby tell me that could be
good enough

Coz I don’t know which way this road is gonna turn But I know it’s gonna be
fine But there are some days no matter how much I’ve learned That the road gets
tough And I don’t feel good enough But if you’re giving me some of that loving
Could you pass some over Let me cry on your shoulder and tell me baby I could
be good enough

If I lost my job And my hair fell out If I made no sense And I scream and shout
Would you laugh at me? Never take a word I say seriously And if I’m out in the
cold Waiting in the back of the line Too afraid to drop my name for fear of
decline

Could you tell me I’m good enough? Could I be good enough? If the going got
worse and the worse got rough The days became endless and harder than tough I’d
be good enough Better than best would be simply to be good enough If everything
I give doesn’t seem like a lot If it’s all that I’ve got Baby tell me that
could be good enough

I need to know that I could be good enough Because everybody wants to feel good
enough Show me baby Tell me Come on a prove it baby Give it to me


For some reason, I've been listening to this song all day. It's almost like this song discribes me for some reason. Anyone else ever had that? #

National Do Not Call Registry

My parents signed up for the NY state one and it works. We're unlisted already, but still get those telemarketers on the phone. This helps prevent them. The number of calls to our house dropped almost right away. However, it only counts for companies in our state. This is a nationwide version and I highly recommend it. It's good for up to five years before you have to register again.

I was also able to update my template. I changed the quote and it went through. Blogger appears to be running okay.

Also, our archives here seem to be fixed. Whatever was messed up with them is now gone. {{shrugs}} I guess the new version fixed it. #

Well, in case you didn't see my blog I did get it to work. *sigh* And I've realized that life would be so much easier if I didn't have to deal with some of my parents' attitudes. #
