Naughty me

I came to work yesterday with the full intention of working on my Christmas story. I'd talked about it the previous night with the GIND and Toni, and I was energized and ready to go to work after only reading two Salon stories.

The computer wouldn't read my disk.

I don't know why. My computer at home will read the disk. The computer at work reads other disks that my computer at home has read and written too. It is a complete mystery to me, but it meant that I couldn't work on the story yesterday.

So, today, I upload everything on that disk to my Yahoo!Briefcase so I can work on the story at work today. Except that I'm not feeling nearly so much energy and inspiration, now. And I'm going to Aiobheann's for a week, so I probably won't get much writing done. I hope to god this Christmas story doesn't turn into the year-long project that the Finale Chasers have become.

What Will People Think?

Chris Carter is having Annabeth Gish do a stint on on XF, with an option to become a regular in season 9. Is she going to be an interesting character, like Krycek, or a boring EvilSlut, like Fowley? My hopeful look at this is maybe we'll be able to slash Scully with someone who is on the show and isn't part of the Consortium.

Another bad idea

Tooling around the Internet, I found two nifty services I could add to my page:

Blogvoices

It adds a commenting feature to people's blog entries

Everyone.net

It would let me offer web-based @slashx-files.com e-mail addresses

I'm just afraid that no one would use such things. How embarrasing would that be? If anyone would be interested, drop me a line.

...a wonderful, terrible, awful idea.

Or words to that effect. It's from The Grinch, natch, and I've just had one. Doesn't slash fandom just need a musefic archive? I haven't started one yet, but I'm so completely thinking about it.

For those of you who don't know, muse fic would be those stories in which the author is confronted by her characters. One of the earliest I ever read was Amirin's Voyager story Fairness.

Revelation

Being in a present-buying sort of mood, and about to visit Aiobheann for the first time this weekend, I was at Lambda Rising picking up books, and one of the ones I got her (Aiobheann is on her honor not to look) was The Ethical Slut. It's the book I try to give to potential lovers. (Aiobheann and I are deep into this Buffy Season 3 Cordelia/Wesley vibe.)

I've never thought to get it for the GIND, or even lend it to her. In part, it's because we already apply most of the practical bits that apply to us, and I don't think she'd buy the emotional theory portions of it. And yet...

I think there's some part of me that believes one of three things, or rather, cycles through believing these things:

1. the GIND is really much straighter than she thinks and would never have sex with a girl. I suspect this has more to do with my ex-girlfriends (two out of two went straight after me) than the GIND.
2. the GIND could not possibly find me worthy of having sex with her. In my more sane and rational moments, I know this to be quite false. It stems from mostly unfounded belief c, to whit:
3. I could not possibly be worthy of having sex with the GIND. I have this low-lying conviction that the GIND is way cooler and more together than I am, and I think this fear stems from that. It's also an odd fear for me to have. I've never thought about people being worthy of one another in such a way. Sometimes, I'll evaluate whether or not I think two people are a good match, but I think the GIND and I are a good match. I'm just not quite, uh, worthy of her.

I full expect to get gently thwapped for saying these things (*ahem* read, the GIND should tell me I'm silly to feel inadequate, or she will be reinforcing nagging suspicion b. above), but at least now I know I'm thinking them. It's the first step to not thinking them, anymore.

Celebrating the New Year!

Getting off to a new start seemed to call for a makeover. So, the page looks new and I look new. I got a two-strand twist that, over the next two years, will slowly but surely turn into dread locks. Or at least, that's the plan. Yay, me! Now, if I just get back to that exercise class, everything will be copacetic.
