- Sent in my rough draft for inception_bang. Phew! It's the third story I started, and the second one that ended up not even being NEARLY 15k will probably end up getting posted before this one. Heh. Unfortunately, I like the other much shorter story better. Bleah!

- Furiously finishing my spn_j2_xmas fic. At least I know how it ends. There's just that damn middle bit that's giving me the pips. Again, a story I've started and scrapped THREE times. It's like a thing.

- WTF Universe?? RL is already kicking my butt, I don't need anything else. Argh!! *tiny ineffectual fists of anger are angry*

- I'm just going to look at my smiling Bradley Cooper icon for a little while and try to feel better about things. Hell, I'm going to pop A-Team in the DVD player. There's nothing like a tank falling out of a plane to make a girl feel better.

- Random compliment from lady at the gym may have gone a small way to making the world a little brighter. She basically said, "wow, you can tell you've been working hard, you're looking really fit". I actually see people at my gym (it's a smallish gym where most people know each other) and I sometimes think, wow, they've lost a lot of weight/look really good from the first time I saw them but I never say anything because AWKWARD. However, it's not awkward, it's just nice. I don't know, I just fret that someone will take it the wrong way.

- My kitten is trying to control me with her mind. Pity her mind is the size of a peanut, out of luck kitty. Oh... alright. I'll get you snacks. Maybe that will stop you LYING ON MY KEYBOARD... ARGH!!

I'm sorry the Universe is being unfair to you. Hopefully, it's just a phase and it'll go away soon? *crosses fingers*

Re: the Gym thing. If someone were to say that to me, I'd probably think they were messing with me. Actually, that's what happens. Sometimes my therapist or my doctor says I look slimmer and I think, "WTF? Are you on crack? I haven't lost a single gram" But if you mean it, then I'm fairly sure the recipient of the compliment will feel a lot better. :)

I know... I always worry that people will take it the wrong way... :/ Or maybe not know that it's a genuine compliment.

[intermezzo]

If it's any help? I can tell when it's genuine and when it isn't so if you feel like saying it? Go for it! :)

I don't know that I can say anything to make you feel better but I read this entry and I know how stressed I've been with school and stuff, so I felt like I had to comment...

As grad students, whenever we're feeling crappy, we have a tendency to post videos of kittens and puppies on each other's Facebook walls. You already have a kitten but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EgFbemSFec

I actually watched all 3 minutes of it.

Hope you feel better/kick life's butt soon!

Heeeee! Kittens just do not know that they cannot actually control the world.

If someone's been to the gym enough for you to notice them, and they look thinner/more fit, it's definitely a good thing to say something if you get the chance. I mean - that's what you're all there for!

Congratulations on being fit. I am a marshmallow. I long for fitness but there is no gym close and it's expensive. Bleh.
*and i'm too lazy to do it alone at home*

Cannot wait for more fic from you!!

Oh man, I'm still marshmallow like, just a... fit one?? I look fit compared to what I used to, rather than what an actual fit person looks like... hee!

*snerk*

I figure if you can go up stairs without huffing and puffing and don't keel over lifting your laundry around, you're probably okay.

Believe me, I never understood how people could run for any length of time and now I quite enjoy it. :D

[tabaqui]

Freak.

Running is the one thing i *hate* to do. Much rather do cardio-type stuff like bikes or kick-boxing or whatever. Running just......eh.
