I just want you all to know that I just got home from work... and I am about to fire up YouTube to watch ep98.  (Don't worry-- I haven't seen any posts yet-- I wouldn't think of refreshing the Tumblr until I've seen it.) ;)

This day has been SO LONG, you guys.  You don't even know!

Department head:  Have you updated your course descriptions?

Me: erhm.  No.  I... I'll find the time this weekend, I swear.

Dept. head: Okay.  I know it's a hassle to write the new ones, but the catalog prints soon.

Me:  Right.  I'm on it.

If he knew I've written more than 20k words of Lizzie Bennet Diaries fanfic over the past three weeks, he would so kick my ass.

So I owe stuff to multiple people here and I have about fifty different posts and messages that I really need to write.

But instead of taking care of that, I spent a hundred years this week getting the first two chapters of a fic into "post-ready" form (very difficult for me because I literally NEVER stop revising).

And then like an IDIOT I stayed up until... 2am? 2:30? last night polishing the third chapter so it could be posted before I went to sleep... despite the fact that I had to get up at 5:15. 

(Because I wanted to post it before it got canon-balled, so I felt like I had to get it uploaded before today's ep.) (and then today's ep actually didn't canon-ball it, so it turns out that I actually could have gotten some sleep.  #idiot)

And now I'm so over-tired that I can't even.  I'm going to have to throw in the towel and go to bed instead of making chapter 4 post-able.  Because I have made BAD decisions. Sort of like Lizzie Bennet made a bad decision when she didn't freaking PICK UP THE PHONE and tell him she LOVES him.

I just now arrived back at the place where I departed (four hours ago) from the "catch up on Tumblr" phase of getting home from work.

Four hours ago I read this post which led me to: writing some lyrics, digging through two boxes looking for an old mic, reinstalling an audio program that I haven't used since my last desktop melted down (at least two years ago... maybe three?), re-learning how it works, discovering I no longer had the old audio converter program either... eventually recording, converting, uploading, posting...

I must say it was not an evening spent efficiently.

(Don't get me wrong-- I don't regret making my little song.  I just wish I wasn't so bloody inefficient.)

I mean, I've been back at the Tumblr for at least an hour-- two hours? since I posted the song, and I haven't yet caught up on TODAYs Tumbling.

I love this fandom to death. I embrace all of you, I honestly do, but please, for the love of god, refrain from starting conspiracy theories if you haven't read the book. You are just stressing out the other P&P virgins and causing a lot of the long time fans to lose their cool. Remember when there was nothing but love and light on this tab? Lets get back to that.
