on sentimental writing

Some nights it's hard to find the line between "aww, how sweet" and "hey, was that a honey-soaked sweat sock you just stuffed down my throat?"

On those nights, a wise woman knows to stop writing and go to bed.

morning

Is it bad that I've been awake for two hours, had one cup of tea already, and am still feeling very "bleeaaaaaaghhh?"

...It is definitely bad that I went back and forth three times on whether to put the question mark in or out of the quotations in that sentence.

Also, the federal and/or state government should really get a clue and realize that if they're going to make people go to jury duty instead of working, they should offer minimum wage for the time you're there, rather than just saying "here's $10 a day, enjoy the fact that you can't work for up to a week or more." Morons. And they wonder why they can't seem to get jurors anymore.

Vague underlying panic about everything in my life is still here, and becoming increasingly less vague or underlying. I hate hate hate hate hate being nervous about shit. I need Advantage for the cat, people to sublet rooms, a new permanent roommate, and a good second job all in very short order, and this is making me an excessively nervous Jen. Hate stress. Hate how stress never fecking goes away, no matter how many things I deal with. Hate trying to keep up with shit. Eeaaaagh.

drabble requests? please?

Okay, people - I've been getting bored here in the mornings.

How's that your problem, you ask? Well, partially because if I'm bored, I make a zillion and one pointless entries, and we all want to avoid that, don't we?

But mostly because I'd like some drabble requests. Consider this a reinstatement of my previous offer - give me any prompt, and I'll try to write it sometime in the next week. At Anne's instigation, I'll even include the possibility of writing in a universe of my own creation, with original characters. Call it a summer spree, call it boredom, call it a celebration of the fact that 99 people have, for some strange reason, decided to friend this journal... whatever you want.

Come on... you know you want to.

( Fandoms I'll Write For )

Or "other" - if you have a request you know or think I know something about, ask me and I'll try to figure out if I can do it!

I'm also reserving the right to write longer pieces off of any of these, because last time I got a few prompts that were just so cool that I could barely contain my enthusiasm. Whee!
