REAL LIFE: Worst Game Ever

[sevendeadlyfun]

I swear, I keep meaning to post. It's like a whole writing avoidance disease with me. If only I could get someone else to do all the actual work of typing and posting and possibly living my life for me. That would make all of this so much easier.

I'm half-heartedly tooling around with a Faith masturbation kink fic, and it is very half-hearted. I started it March 13th and I'm only 283 words into it. So much for bringing it back.

Mostly I'm waiting for something awesome to wander into my head. I have a ton of WiPs but none I'm panting to write. So, for now, they stay slightly unfinished. I haven't had a single ficlet idea for the challenge. Well, one vague slightly lame one focused on Spike's thoughts on Connor and Angel set during Issue #29, but I couldn't get more than three sentences into that one before throwing up my hands. It'll come or it won't. In the meantime, I'm doggedly pushing through The Tudors in an effort not to be creeped out by Jonathon Henry Creeperton the Eighth.

I don't even understand why I'm watching it. Except for the train wreck value, it's the worst show I've ever seen (AND I WATCH TORCHWOOD, YA'LL). The history is fucked, the acting is somewhere between soap opera and Sham!Wow bad, and seriously? I'm terrified of the actor who plays the King. He has serial killer eyes. He's probably an adorable kitten cuddler and this may make him the world's greatest actor, but mostly it a giant disturb-a-thon THAT I CAN'T STOP WATCHING OMG.

Also, I got a volunteer position at the local FFSC (Fleet and Family Support Center) where I do such monumentally rewarding and fulfilling things as shred documents and answer phones. It's a start. Plus I'm applying to grad school and I need some killer references (I already have killer grades). So hopefully in about FOUR YEARS I'll be a licensed Social Worker.

Also also, I signed up for this year's Remix Redux. Mostly because I had so much fun panicking last year and I can't bear to give that kind of frantic insanity up. Plus, I think my remix was probably one of the best stories I've ever written ever and I'm hoping to hit that again. Of course, this could all blow up in my face, leading to my tragic internet death. But, no pressure, right anxiety_junkie?

Sorry the muse is being such a recalcitrant thing. Maybe Remix will shake something loose.

Is it wrong that your review of "The Tudors" is the first one I've read that's made me want to see it? You had me at train wreck and serial killer eyes.

You should totally watch it, because it is kee-razy stuff. I'm seriously kind of a little terrified every time I watch the show. If this portrayal is at all accurate (and that's by no means a given), Henry the VIII was a bipolar misogynist with narcissistic personality disorder. It's a whole level of WTF previously unknown to television.

And I am desperately hoping that Remix gives me a writing boostie. I am so tired of having no ideas.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers? I love him to death. Did you ever see BBC's Gormenghast from a few years ago? He's creepy in that too, but he's a hottie Irishman in Bend it Like Beckham.

You panicked waaayyyy too much at last year's redux, srsly. :P

Oh we're not at panic level yet. BUT WE WILL BE because that is exactly, precisely, and totally how I roll.

And that man is shudder inducing. I can't even watch him in anything else now because I'm afraid he's going to come at me with a marriage contract and an EPT. He specializes in creepy. It's like his oeuvre. So I will continue to call him Jonathon Henry Creeperton the Eighth in honor of his special talents of creeperness.

You've made me want to see it now! And as the actor's name meant nothing to me I googled him and found this dead marvelous youtube video about the show and so now I'm really wanting to watch it.
