Bad, Crappy Day

[crazydiamondsue]

I know...still no fic, just me rambling. I got up this morning, late as usual, and noticed I was incredibly blood-shot (no, not from anything fun.) So I went to put Visine in and felt this unusual and product-defeating burning sensation. My husband's Icy Hot had spilled all over the Visine, and I now had an eyefull of saline diluted Icy Hot!!! Insert your choice of expletive here. So I stayed home, burning, head-achy and pissy.

I've tried to watch S4 Angel (and, okay, I did feel better when Angelus was being all slashy about Wes and Faith said getting back into slaying was "just like riding a biker") but I still feel crap. Also, the beautiful tgray went to tons of trouble to make me a beautiful Spander background for my lj (should should have seen it - red with eyes of spike! and arms of Xander!) and then I had my husband try to upload Spike mood icons and we screwed the whole thing up! So now I have to wait until tgray gets home and fixes me. (Sorry about that, sweetie.)

I finished the first part of the Angel/Xander cowboy story I'm doing for nashmaveric and sent it off to adis723 for beta, but I can't seem to get back into it. "Sunday Morning" is totally not taking my phone calls, either. I'm feeling mighty depressed, y'all. (I have got to finish this story so that I can go back to repressing my redneck youth.)

To cheer me up, I friended some people I've been meaning to friend. Hope they didn't mind. Waves to kyrieane , amejisuto , piksa and reremouse .

and we screwed the whole thing up!

Um... Hello... I believe it was you and you alone who screwed the whole thing up.

Also my view of this morning:

I'm putting on my shoes, getting ready to go to work and a blood-curdling scream eminates from the bath room. Freaked the sheeeet out of me!!!

Crazydiamondsue may actually be underplaying how much this hurt. She wouldn't let me take her to the hospital tho.

I hope your feeling better baby, but do you think its a good idea to be staring at the computer when your eyes are in pain.

I'm heading home, so let me use the computer.

Love you

As an contact wearer whose had similar problems, I feel your pain, usually my expletive of choice is MotherFUCKer (please use proper inflections)

I did see the layout yesterday, it was purr-tee, then I saw this last night and was all, "WTF?"

Hope you feel better. *hugs and love*

Drive on up! I'll make room on the couch, we'll have an Angelusy good time. Yeah, so bummed about the layout fuck-up. I was all ready to bug my flist into gahhing over it, and then I screwed it up. Okay, I'm off to nap again, since the computer is about to ripped out of my grasp.

O_* DId I get the correct eye?

ooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuccchhhuh! My eyes are watering just thinking about it.

Wondered about were you had been.... Feeling better?

Finally got computer back from people who thought it would "strain my eye." Made brownies. Feel better. Would you still love me if I admitted that sometimes I cave to the urge for a fried bologna sandwich on white Wonder bread with Miracle Whip? 'Cause I do...(it's expensive all-beef deli bologna, does that make it less WT?)
And yes, you hit the eye!

Re: O_* DId I get the correct eye?

Pretty wallpaper, but I can't read!!!! As for the eye, I figured you are like me: left eye Lopez first. As to bologna sandwich, take out the mayo and add mustard and you have fucking heaven. Mayo is for cold bologna.

Feeling better? Feeling funny? I'm booooooored.

Hope your eye's all better! Can't imagine how that would have felt (sure as hell hope to never find out)! I figured you'd have to play with the colors some (especially on the links and stuff) but now I see that this reply box needs a lot of work... All black and can't read anything! *sighs* At least there's pretty boys...

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

There be pretty boys here! Yeah, the black lettering is kinda hard to see...but I love it all otherwise.
I kind of look like I have pink eye today, but otherwise I'm good. I'm hoping to finish my Angel/Xander cowboy story tonight (my beta is a doll: she just patted me when I suggested calling it "Angel and Xander: Even Cowboys Get the Lube") seriously, I'll probably just call it Rodeo. I'm thinking about arranging a slash girl event in OKC next May to coincide with the gay rodeo...just think of the hours of fun that would be! Drinking longnecks, doin' the two-step, cheerfully checking out hot cowboys who think it's cute that straight girls are staring at their buts, doing S/X stream of conciousness rambles over a beer and BBQ - you know you want it!

Beautiful, beautiful header with Spike and Xander. I hope your eyes are much better. Icy Hot on the Visine??? Good god. Was he trying to conduct a chem experiment?

I have Angel S4 but it may be a long time before I get a chance to watch it, because my husband really loathes Connor. I mean, he has to leave the room sometimes when Connor is on the screen. We managed to get through the end of S3 but S4 will be a challenge. I may have to power through most of it while he's on business trips.

I have a theory about why he hates Connor but I don't think DH will ever admit to this. When we first watched S3 and S4, when they aired on the network, our second child was not much more than a baby himself, so the storyline of Angel's son being kidnapped was kind of close to our hearts. It was actually a bit difficult for me to watch -- my hormones were flaky and I was very emotional about it. DH empathized with Angel to a surprising degree also, maybe paternal hormones were also in play, maybe he was also empathizing with my distress. Anyway, when Connor came back all snarly and hateful to Angel DH disliked that to a huge extent. I think as a father to two sons he knows that there will be conflicts with them when they are teenagers and it's not fun to contemplate. Right now when the boys are 6 and 4 their father can do no wrong -- he's their favorite person and hero. Anyway, DH does not like to watch Angel/Connor interaction.

So now we are catching up on Buffy S6 -- lots of good things there, this season is when Spike is at his most beautiful. If only I could reach into the TV and smack Buffy... "Lighten up a little, girl! Oh, and Xander, you're really not happy with Anya, you might want to think about someone else..."

I think that's a very good point. My husband doesn't like Connor, either. We don't have kids, but I think his dislike has more to do with the actor than the part. I like Connor okay, and I thought Vincent did a really good job with a mostly unsympathetic role. I just watched his scenes with Faith yesterday and was impressed with how he managed to convey being pissed off, turned on and shy all at once. I didn't care for the Connor/Cordy thing (who did?) but I enjoyed grown-up Connor more than the novely of "It's Angel! And he has a baby! In a demon bar!" I really liked the Connor eps in S5, and the storyline will always be worth it to me for the Darla staking herself in order to give birth scene. That will probably always be my favorite moment in Angel (well, besides the double sleeve stakes and swooshy coat - end credits!)

I think the scene where I have to give Vincent K. the most credit as an actor is the one where Connor is deciding whether to let Cordelia/Jasmine sacrifice the virgin. That was an incredibly powerful scene -- and I really, really did not know which side he would choose.
