I'm sorry, dear :/. I spent half the day debating between warning you but spoiling you.

i'm glad you didn't, i had a midterm, and honestly, it would've still hurt

but thank you for thinking of me

I would imagine it's because she has an objective now (or increased urgency?). But they're playing the behavior change really obvious so I imagine she's a red herring.

increased urgency, probably

and i do think it's a red herring but i'm hoping no one actually thinks melinda's evil????? haha who am i kidding

Nah I hear ya. She’s talented, but too much too soon. Apparently she’s going to take a year off or something after her currently contracted work.

She's definitely a good actress. I mostly blame the internet for my JLaw fatigue; I feel like every single blog (and every single Buzzfeed article) is pushing 'OMG JLAW IS SO REAL AND SO ONE OF US OMGGGGGG BFFLLLLLLL", and I'm like "Dudes.  She's an actress.  She's an actress with a really well-crafted public image. Calm down." I think it's a really good idea for her to take some time off and step out of the spotlight for a while.

But she’s so WACKY.

IKR?  I SHOULD PRETTY MUCH BE ARRESTED FOR TREASON FOR DARING TO MALIGN AMERICA'S QUIRKY SWEETHEART.

Girl, my roommate and I are holed up watching Scorned Love Kills. My eyes have been opened forever.

Oh lady, you have FABULOUS taste in trashy TV.  Investigation Discovery is one of my very favorites. <33

LULZ, i decided to have guac and chips for dinner. followed by chocolate. now i need to decide if i want to refer to it as a 'guacolate' night or a 'chocomole' night. XD and there will be wine. OBVS.

I think 'chocomole' is the winner (but 'guacolate' is PRETTY CLEVER AS WELL)!  And DUHHHHHHHHHHH to wine!!  I WISH I had wine- this vodka is a poor substitute!

What I'm getting from this is that Phil Coulson would not be able to handle watching Toy Story.

I think he'd be cool with the first two, (albeit with some cringing at the scenes with Sid), but oh my god the third one he has to leave the room so the team doesn't see him cry

also the scene with Jessie in TS2 would break him but that destroys everyone emotionally, so I wouldn't worry too much!

OH, of course not.  That would just be silly!  :P

melancholicmermaid said: Ooh what ship was it? Sansan?

HAHAHAAAAA!!! No, my epic hatred of SanSan has been with me since the very beginning.  It was Ned/Cersei.  

lokiyan said: Sometimes I get stuff like that and I get guilted into writing that ship again D:

I totally get that impulse.  It's hard to feel like you're letting people down!  :/

starkfish said: what fic/pairing is that?? and yes, i totally agree. XD Or when someone likes all of my posts about a pairing I no longer ship and then starts following me, I just want to be like I’M SORRRRRRY!!!!

RIGHT???!!  Because aside from my core pairings (Jaime/Cersei, Jaime/Sansa), my shipping preferences have changed SO much over the past 2 years.  I'm sure that people understand that these things shift and evolve, but I still feel bad about it.

Honestly, I considered this the litmus test. If they weren’t super into it, I would ditch ‘em!

Haha!  We actually had a dude share his work yesterday, and he was SO UNWILLING to listen to critiques- he clearly just wanted everyone to tell him that he's brilliant, and even though we were presenting our criticisms in really tactful and useful ways, he was NOT hearing ANY of it.  But I'm really used to constructive criticism- I went to theater school, after all, where I got my ass handed to me on a daily basis.  So I was ready for the group to be not-that-crazy about my story.  But although they definitely gave me critiques, they were generally really positive.  They even compared my writing style to Patti Smith's in "Just Kids", which made me SWOON OFF OF MY CHAIR because that is my FAVORITE BOOK IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE.  <3333

YAY SO GLAD IT WENT WELL! :D Unfortunately I thought the beautiful nuances with Cersei would suffer in a non-fandom version but I AM GLAD THEY STILL GOT IT OMG. And YESSS YAY CREEPY SEX!! :D :D

To be fair, I DO think that I need to make "Cersei"'s involvement in the story a little clearer, since not everyone found her effective. BUT SOME PEOPLE DID!  AKA my kindred spirits!  :D  And HAHA as soon as they said that thing about the sex being creepy, I had to hold back a stream of giggles, because UNSETTLING ANGST-SEX IS WHAT JAIME/SANSA IS ALL ABOUUUUUUT.

hahaha that’s so great!

Thank you!!  It really was great- it felt good to sit down with other writers and talk about my work.  Aside from fanfic, I haven't shared my creative writing for years, and I'm glad that I'm doing it now.  :D
