*clears throat*

So, I posted this weekend, and then accidentally put my post under private. It's now friends-locked here.

And after all that happened, I went to Cassis on Friday, which was fabulous - Cassis looks like every little Mediterranean town you see in the movies, and I spent the day lying on the beach reading.

It was beyond heavenly.

Ahh, to be lying on the beach reading (especially now that I have highly addictive reading material at my fingertips) somewhere warm. (Although, it did nearly hit 70 here today, but the rain shall return tomorrow.)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I miss rain.... but being some where warm was totally delicous. Especially with reading material. I'm going to go back home and be the only person who isn't totally disgusted with the weather. For a while, at least.

And god, aren't the Dresden books such perfect beach reads? Speaking of, how far away is the coast? You mentioned it was about 4 hours, right?

[pzb.livejournal.com]

Oh, the coast is only about an hour and a half or so away...but it isn't exactly lounge-y weather out. XD

Of course, it also depends on where on the coast you're wanting to go. But Florence is just under 2 hours. Where we went back in July was about 2 and a half (but so worth it.)

Well, then you can curl up under a blanket with hot chocolate on the couch. (Mmmmm, couch.)

Nice. I remember the beaches in Oregan. And you're south enough that the sea gets shallow and warm enough to swim in, right?

And you're south enough that the sea gets shallow and warm enough to swim in, right?

*snort* Oh HELL no.

At least, not me. I'm used to So Cal where the water is in the 60s, not the 40s. When we were out there in July, I could hardly put my feet in.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I guess I must have been further south then.

Yeah, coming to the Northwest from SoCal would give your a diffrent perspecitive oh how warm the ocean is than I probably have.

I usually to be able to just go to the beach in Washinton and go in the water - unfortunately, once I hit puberty, I lost that.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah...puberty takes some fun things away, but ultimately gives us other fun things....eventually. XD

I think it's a lot of what you're used to, too. My friend that we went with went tearing into the water like a madwoman, completely submersed herself. I got to about my ankles, shrieked, and ran back to the warmth of the sand.

[pzb.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why that posted as anoymous....

Stupid LJ...

Anyhow, I also wanted to share - I finally did it.

It's changed since the last version you got.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yay! EL!

Also, I really like your new icon. Totally envious of your iconning skillz. Nothing like the icon specifically made for your multichaptered fic. ^_^

[pzb.livejournal.com]

Hee, thankees. I've had that icon sitting, unfinished, for several months now. Never really liked it, but finally found a use for it (mostly, too, because I didn't have any other good shots of the two of them together and didn't feel like spending *THAT* much time on an icon last night. :D

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yeah, HxY need to be in more panel together. There needs to be an explosion where Yaone throw herself on top of Hakkai to protect him.

....and a plotbunny slouches into bethleham.

Speaking of, did you get the fic I sent you in e-mail yesterday?

[pzb.livejournal.com]

Yes, that does invoke plotbunnies galore.

And yes, I did. And I suck because I kept meaning to email you about it and kept forgetting when I was at the computer. XD But I quite enjoyed it, even for a Doku/Yaone fic. XD

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I'm glad, evan if it was DxY.

And don't worry about it - I have about a billion things I haven't posted yet because of internet issues and getting doc files in the right font so they don't look horrific when I past them into lj... And I almost wish you hadn't gotten it considering that I reread it today and oh my god where there some typos.

[pzb.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about the typos, hon.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been catching a number of typos in the Dresden books, of all things. I think they need to fire the editor.

Hell, when you posted a line from EL1 that you liked, I caught a typo there. XD

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

*Groans* But yeah, I've caught typos in books before. It always makes me feel so skilled, especially since I suck at it in general.

[pzb.livejournal.com]

I've caught one or two typos in my day (then again, I don't read as much as most) but geeeeeez....the Dresden novels are BAD!

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Copy editor was clearly snorting glue that day?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

And yeah, a big part of it is how you're aclimated to. Well, it's not like I regret puberty - let's be real, besides all the fun, non sexy things that I got like getting to go to college, and friends, and all that sort of suff, it's not I got NOTHING fun on the sexy side - by exboyfriend and I had fun together, and okay, I'm not having much fun NOW but that will change when I find guys I actually want to date who don't have girlfriends and/or am no longer living in one room with a roommate and having dreams where everyone is passing around my vibrater and commenting on my tast in sex toys.

[pzb.livejournal.com]

Wow...you know, I had to re-read that last line there, because for a second, I thought you were saying someone *else* had that dream...

God damn, I need to go back to bed.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

If anyone here knows what kind of vibrater I have I'll kill myself.

Speaking of, did I tell you about that one night when I was having trouble sleeping, so I started plotting a fight scene in bed, which resulted in me tossing and turning and then out of the dark came -

"you're really restless tonight, huh?"

me: "ummm yes. Just can't seem to get to sleep, for some weird reason."

[pzb.livejournal.com]

*snort*

No, you didn't tell me about that. That is a bit creepy (but then, I'm used to sharing a bed, so I'm kind of used to it. But I can definitely see where that's weird....)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I just really drove home how little privacy I have.

*fantazises about having a room to myself*

[pzb.livejournal.com]

Not too much longer before you'll have your own room for a while....

Then back to school and in a bigger room to share at least. :D

Look, I'm trying to find SOMETHING positive here... XD

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Nope, and damn, am I so looking forward to it. Actually living with her has been pretty good lately, however last night I was realizing, again, that she has yet to buy either 1 toilet paper 2 or paper towels, both of which she uses. At one point she even said, 'I noticed you've been buying all the tp, so next time I'll get it, okay?"

And then I don't buy tp because I'm curious as to whether she'll follow through, and we end up running out and using paper towels (that I also bought) until I crack and buy more.

God I hate being a wife, especially when I'm not even getting orgasms for it. I don't LIKE being the person who's soley responsible for that kind of thing.

*shakes head*

I mean, I'm the one buying cleaning supplies, and you know, reading the email CEA sends up letting us know that we're going to have someone check that our apartment is bein kept up to stuff.

...and you didn't ask for that rant, sorry.

But yes, I'll have almost too weeks of a room to myself, and then I'll go back to sharing, but I would be nearly as bad because we won't be sharing/responsible for a bathroom and a kitchen, which is the main lingering frustration. Well, that and she seems to think it's okay to keep her sack of dirty clothes behind the door on MY SIDE OF THE ROOM. JUST PUT IN ABOVE YOUR CLOSET LIKE I DO, FOOL, AND STOP ENCROCHING ON MY SPACE! AND I HAVE MORE ROM BECAUSE I BROUGH A FRACTION OF WHAT YOU DID!

Damn it, I was trying to be positive too. Wow, we really suck at that, don't we? I think we should play to our strenghts and stick with the bitchy comments. ^_^

[pzb.livejournal.com]

...and you didn't ask for that rant, sorry.

*ahem* Must I pop you? I think we equally rant to each other. Don't even worry about it, hon.

One of my old roommates was like that. She'd promise to buy the next round of toilet paper, and we'd be using napkins before I would break down and buy it.

And even now, I'm not the one solely responsible. That's why Jim and I go to the store together.

The CEA comes up and checks on your room?

Have you kicked them into checking on that WiFi you're paying for lately?

Two weeks alone will be very nice, I'm sure. Because at least, in that instant, it's your mess and your mess alone to clean. No more cleaning up after her.

Oh, for the most part, I suck at positive thinking. I know it. I dare not try to pretend I'm a positive person - I know otherwise. :D

btw, I'd be throwing her bag of dirty clothes on her bed when she's not in the room. If she questions, I'd say it was in the way of the door (if that's the case anyway...doors not opening all the way are a strange pet peeve of mine...)
