Seriously, how am I conscious right now?

mortalcity: Girl and a wolf, sleeping together in the grass. (wolves | pack animals)
Yesterday was exhausting, and yet for some reason I only slept for two hours, then woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. My sleep schedule has been wonky all week, but this is definitely the most ridiculous it has been so far.

Saw Avengers with Jae and Pat and Caroline a week ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am going again today with Mat, in the middle of our regular weekly shopping and library expedition. With that on top of the Fringe season finale tonight, I might very well explode with fannish feelings, but I've accepted that.

However, that is not the primary reason for this post. I went on a secret mission yesterday. And in case you were wondering... I rarely go on secret missions that don't end in something fuzzy.

Now I'm going to try to go back to sleep, because I would like to be awake enough to not fall asleep in the theater, and actually process Fringe when it happens. Wish me luck.

And I heard your voice as clear as day...

mortalcity: Olivia Dunham. Text: "Real is a matter of perception." (Fringe | a matter of perception)
Oh my god, you guys. Oh my god, this episode of Fringe. I'd say "can we talk about it", except I'm not capable of talking. Just crying out of sheer joy that this show exists, like Kristen Bell crying over sloths.

We have hit that point in the season where everything is glorious, and I am just so happy. (Also, that episode could have gone on for, like, an hour longer and I would not have gotten tired of it. It was like an LJRP in TV form, in the best way.)

...um. In other news, meme! Because [personal profile] whatawaytoburn commanded it.
Happy Galentine's Day

Happiness hit her like a train on a track...

mortalcity: Girl lying on the sidewalk, with wings drawn in chalk underneath her. (angels | this is to New York City angels)
The magical beta-blocker-enabled revelations continue! ...mainly in that I am rediscovering the joy in everything ever, and also remarkably chill about everything else.

Today I did all my tags, and then took an hour's break to read fic, and then spent three hours writing. I was gloriously productive, and did not freak out or hate myself when I realized I'd gotten distracted and forgot to squeeze in another hour of writing before midnight. So awesome.

I haven't even freaked out about having to go to counseling tomorrow. Yet. That's still making me anxious and twitchy if I think about it for too long, but I'm not letting myself do that. In all other areas, I am so calm I almost don't recognize myself, and I like it this way.

Her carriage turned into a pumpkin, but she says she doesn't mind...

mortalcity: A city skyline over autumn trees. (stock | a sort of fairytale)
The tree just outside my dining room window (where my desk is set up until we can paint the office) is turning the most gorgeous orange color. I have never been fond of orange in the past, but every year autumn makes serious progress toward changing my opinion on that. There are a couple other trees further back that are edging toward firetruck red. My yard is prettier than yours. I'm sorry, it's just a fact. I only wish I had a camera. And that I knew how to work those lights out in the garden...

This is the best season, you guys. This is the best month. And I'm not just saying that because I was born halfway through it.

I woke up on my own before noon this morning, without an alarm or being dragged out of bed or anything. I smell like burnt sugar and ashes and death (in a good way), and one of my girlfriends is dragging me out in the world today (and I'm not letting her go home until I shove new Fringe at her), and it is autumn. Today is awesome.

A little cut, a little sting, you can get used to anything...

mortalcity: Girl and a wolf, sleeping together in the grass. (wolves | pack animals)
I am so. Fucking. Tired. Going on over 24 hours without sleep now.

Moving into the house tonight. Furniture shopping (and maybe car? God, I hope so) tomorrow.

Won't have internet again until Wednesday. If you need me for something (or just want to tell me something even if it's not terribly urgent), poke at [personal profile] thatrainbow, who does have internet at work.

Nnnngh. I am stressy and tired and I hurt and I will not get to watch Fringe tonight like I wanted, but... I get to sleep with my puppy tonight, on my own mattress, in my own house where no one's going to wake me up while going about their business, and I don't have to wear clothes while I do it. That makes me feel somewhat better.

"Is this PoliSci 101?" "Not remotely."

mortalcity: (Fringe | put on your best straitjacket)
I got distracted from doing... pretty much anything yesterday, thanks to citalopram withdrawal (no big deal, I just ran out of meds and wasn't able to get new ones for a couple days). This means I am behind schedule on my Fringe rewatch (as well as, y'know, everything else I need to do). MAINLINING ALL THE EPISODES, HERE WE GO.


( Episode Reactions: Fringe 1x02-1x05 )



...I think I'm done for the night. Time to play with writingthings for a while. (Chances I'm going to sleep before dawn? Slim to none. That's what [personal profile] thatrainbow gets for letting me sleep until four and bringing me coffee at 2 AM.)

"Call me sweetheart one more time, I'd really like that."

mortalcity: Olivia, alone on a pier. (Fringe | no more dreaming like a girl)
So I am going through the entirety of Fringe in preparation for season four. (OMG YOU GUYS I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS A S4.) Aaaaand since I mainlined it so fast the first time and didn't really post anything about it at the time... I am doing episode reactions now.

They're just my thoughts as I watch, and they will contain spoilers. Possibly for all aired episodes. If you have never watched Fringe and want to get caught up for the next season, [personal profile] newredshoes' How to get hooked on Fringe in about 10 hours is excellent. It only goes to the end of S2, so you are on your own for S3, but it's an excellent starting place if JJ Abrams' plotting terrifies you (and there is nothing wrong with being scared of that).
