Dreams and guilty pleasures

[thrihyrne]

Some of you may not know that while I pretty much abhor TV, I do watch some things via youtube as guilty pleasures and/or my decompression. My recent ones, post-BSG, have been Canada's Project Runway (I love the American version too) and Australia's Make Me A Supermodel. Two nights ago I dreamed I was in Make Me A Supermodel. Last night, no joke, I was in the model side of the competition for Canada's Project Runway, not wanting the other contestants to know I was 20 years older than they were (I don't believe in the dream that I had any body other than my own, which is certainly not model material and does reflect my age), but then I was hanging out with Iman. We were buddies. Which is hilarious, because I don't particularly like her on the show, in fact.

Oh, my crazy subconscious. I laugh at you.

Been quiet of late as I'm writing a lot, working a few more hours at work for the next two weeks as I step into my supervisor's spot while he's in Argentina. My R/D is at my betas (already received one back! Thanks wolfiekins!), I've started my weasley_fest one, made loads of editing progress on M+M over the weekend and am writing the last of one or two new scenes before tackling the epilogue, and have found myself writing another PWP vignette in maculategiraffe's Slave Breaker universe.

Let the Muse Reign! Hope you're all having a good week; I think this one will really fly since I have so much going on. But I'm never too busy to at least read what you all are up to. I have seen all of the DW stuff, and I'm just going to stay here. I do have an insane journal account but don't bother with it. LJ is fine.

Oh thank god you're not decamping! This DW business has been ruining my mood a lot lately. :/

No, not decamping. I'm used to this environment. I mean, nearly 5 1/2 years??! It works. ;)

Have you EVER considered modeling?

I don't watch TV either, but I do watch ANTM and Project Runway and other really shallow stuff online. (Okay, I also watch Supernatural and the Daily Show online.) Bad TV is addicting, is it not?

I was a nude model in college for a couple of semesters to make some spending money...

I just like those particular reality shows. Since I do sew, project runway is especially fascinating. But I did get sucked into the only two apparent seasons of Shear Genius, which featured hair stylists. That, to me, is something that is sooooooo intimidating. I don't know why. :D

Wait! You finished the R/D already??? *panics*

First redsnake05 with her weasley_fest entry, now you with the R/D one. I still have to finish my flames_n_tats fic ...

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I started on it a while back because I wanted to have plenty of time for weasley_fest. Plus while working on M+M, I have to have other stories as diversions! Not to fear. (((consoling hugs)))

[nathaniel-hp.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose I really am too much of a procrastinator to finish things months in advance. I am only now starting on my paper which is due on Monday (mind you, it's all mapped out in my head).

I think I am actually a bit afraid of starting the R/D I have in mind. But what needs to be done, needs to be done!

What is DW? (Note how ignorant I am...I am pretty much unaware of all the political DRAHMAH going on about LJ too, LOL)

*HUGS*

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

DW= DreamWeaver or somesuch. It has the same kind of coding and open source stuff like LJ and their current attitude toward users is more how LJ was in the beginning. Whatever. I'm just staying.

Is there political drama? Thankfully I've missed that. :P

i just stumbled on some of the slave breaker stuff recently. intriguing that you are writing in it! i'll look forward to reading that.

Her universe really is so well detailed and believable without being so huge that you get lost. I actually wrote a story for her in her 'verse in February, found here (http://thrihyrne.livejournal.com/331907.html). People seemed to really enjoy it. ;) I'm enjoying getting to write smut again; my writing of late seems to have had not much of it and I miss it. *sniff*

So glad the creative juices are flowing! Do call when you come up for air. I waited all weekend by the phone... :)

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about that- I literally spent 2 hours on the phone Saturday morning, talking with my mom, cim_halfling and then my aunt; then on Sunday I had an hour-long talk with koshweasley and then at least a 45-minute talk with my stepmom, dad and sister Sunday. I was talked out!! I'll try again this weekend. You can always give me a buzz, too: Thursdays are the only weeknights when I come straight home from choir and crash because it's already 10:15 or so when I get home.

(((hugs))) Hope that you and yours are well!

Glad to have been of some assistance (???) with your awesome R/D.

Actually, I thought that I took TOO LONG to get it back to you!

***hugs***
