I am not human.

(*cough* that title is a lot more appropriate on lj)

It's about 4:10 in the AM. I spent three hours trying to sleep, and got nowhere, and now I've been up for over an hour and I'm not tired yet. So I'm sitting here, not sleeping, and not fully awake. All my knitting things are in the bedroom and I'd wake the husband digging for them. (I started a new scarf in autumny colors, and am experimenting in embellishing a little bit with a few beads. Scarf is pretty--thick rusty orange yarn knitted together with thick grey/green/brown yarn--but I'm not sold on the beaded parts yet.) There's shit on TV and my CM dvds are also in the bedroom. I don't feel like watching much else. Maybe Spaced. Ah, fuck it. I think I might try forcing a few words of fic out, and we'll see how loopy and strange it is tomorrow morning/afternoon. Or I guess that would be later this morning/afternoon.

*sigh* Oh, this is ridiculous. My cat is snoring extra loudly. I think he's mocking me.

Good thing I don't work tomorrow. I'd normally be getting up about two hours from now.

Title: Miles To Go Before We Sleep, Part Eleven
Authors: innerslytherin and severity_softly
Pairing: Morgan/Reid
Rating: R/FRM this part (up to NC-17 for the entire fic)
Summary: After Reid goes off the rails in Texas, Morgan decides Reid needs a friend to support him through whatever he's going through. Several cases and "awesomely" bad sci-fi flicks later, they both realize "friendship" isn't exactly what they want...but sorting through the baggage that stands in the way of a closer relationship is more difficult than either of them expected. Starting immediately after "Elephant's Memory" and running beyond the end of "Lo-fi", this is a multi-chaptered, non-WIP fic.

Fandom meme: ( I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need )

Does anyone know of a file sharing site (like sendspace.com) that DOESN'T delete your files after they go inactive for a certain period of time? Someplace that, you know, I don't have to PAY for? (I'm poor, people. Seriously.)

I'm still working on the CM Hotch-Reid-Morgan mood theme, and I was looking back at the BoG theme I made over a year ago. You know, considering that was made before the DVD came out and I used mostly shitty caps because the DVD wasn't out, I still rather like the theme itself. I was thinking about re-uploading it for the BoG comm (because it's still amazingly active, considering how long ago that movie was out!), but I don't want to go to all the trouble (the computer I had it saved to crashed and I'll have to re-save it all) if it'll just go bye-bye again after a while... and I would Really Like the completed CM theme to stay available indefinitely when I do actually finish and post it. 'Cause, you know, I'm actually doing ALL of the moods this time, and it's a big project that I hope people will like as much as I do. :P

((ETA: Found one! (mediafire.com) Thanks snapelike!))

Also, I think I'm losing my mind, or imagining things... or something. Seriously, people on the intarwebz should just stop trying to confuse me. They're doing it on purpose, I tell you! On purpose! *siiiiigh* ;)

Meme from innerslytherin: First line of last 25 fics you wrote and try to find a pattern. At least 8 of these are co-written, so I'm counting only the first line I wrote in those fics. Also, some of these are unposted, and the first five are still wips. :P

( Part Nine )

1. All the cool kids have their Dr. Horrible icons, and now so do I. I realize I am late to the party, but whatever. Much loff and all that - wonderful, original idea, brilliant ending. LOFF.

2. I am in lust with Paget Brewster. She does voices on Harvey Birdman and American Dad. She's gorgeous and has skin like she's been ingesting arsenic. She photographs spreads, on occasion, for Suicidegirls.com!!! ROWR! I am in LUST. Total lust for her. *cough* >.>

3. I love that my knitting needles advertise themselves as smooth. Why, yes. Yes, they are very smooth... until I chew on them a bit. I CAN'T seem to not put these things in my mouth (which is a shame, because they taste wretched... the crochet hook is tasteless--and not in the sense that it tells dirty jokes at inappropriate times--but it finds its way into my hands and mouth with less frequency.)

innerslytherin says that I should knit myself a Reid is a Big Ghey Ghey-Boy Purple Scarf. I don't think that's knitted, now that I'm looking at it, but I might make myself a big ghey purple scarf all the same. That is actually within my skill level: Level Zero: Squares and Rectangles.

4. I reorganized all my folders on the laptop, and now I can't find a thing. How dare I put my CM screencaps in the "misc > tv > cm > caps" folder?! That's just logical!

5. I had more to say. I've had an emotionally shitty week. Bad mojo or something. Ugh, just sucky. But I felt like I was being whiny when I had all that typed out, and this post isn't going to go on my RL filter anyway. So, this is my happy face. Feel it. Or should I say fear it? I'm not sure.

6. Might dye my hair black again. Or maybe blonde. I need a change. If I wouldn't get fired, I'd go blue.

( Part Eight )

I got up this morning and left the apartment to find the clouds all tinted pink, obscuring most of a bright blue sky. The entire world looked bathed in a purple glow, and I wished I had time to stop and take pictures.



*sigh* It was probably just pollution.

School Shooting in Knoxville

And less than a month after that UU church shooting, too.

*sigh* What is happening to my city all of a sudden?

Title: Endogenous Opioid Polypeptide Compounds
Rating: PG-13/FRT
Pairings: Morgan/Reid
Word count: ~2,000
Spoilers/warnings/author's notes: Spoilers aren't overt, but fic includes references from The Big Game/Revelations up through Elephant's Memory, and (vague-ish) references to drug use. Beta'd by the wonderful innerslytherin. :)

(You didn't need a genius to tell you that exercise releases endorphins into your body that make you feel good, but he tells you anyway, and in much greater detail than you'd previously understood it.)

Okay, so innerslytherin and I write just way too damn fast together. We've handed off our 130K Morgan/Reid monster fic to a beta we trust, but since completing that, we have gone on to write over 60K worth of fic that we're just sort of... sitting on. We need a beta.

Knowledge of Criminal Minds fandom would be fantastic, but as I have very few people on the flist from that fandom right now, a general SPAG/consistency beta would be just fine. There are about 6 fics (I think), four connecting Morgan/Reid fics (approx 10k on the first 3 fics, and 20k on the 4th), a Hotch/Reid fic (about 13k), and an as-yet-unfinished Hotch/Morgan fic (that is over 7k now, and may very well turn into a Hotch/Morgan/Reid series *headesk*). Most of them are porny, but not kinky.

Any takers on any of them? Drop me a comment, or email me at severity.s@gmail.com.

Got here this morning, adjusted myself in my chair by pushing against the crossbar with my foot. The strap of my sandal ripped off (causing me to smash my foot into the desk), and I had to hobble around on one shoe and an achey foot until my husband came by on his way to work.

Been getting phone calls all day about groups we don't have, phone calls to managers that aren't being returned, and people who have left things and want to chew me out for it.

I also get this sort of half-laugh in my voice when I'm smiling on the phone, trying to be friendly with people, and this morning someone very brusquely told me they "did not appreciate my inappropriate giggling" when speaking with her, and that I was obviously not taking her seriously. First, I don't giggle. Second, I had to apologize for the way that I talk when I try to be nice to people: "I'm sorry, maam. I wasn't trying to be offensive." "Well, you are." Um, okaaaay... I'll just start being a bitch from now on.

Oh, and they can't seem to hire anyone that can cover my days off, so, yay for too many hours a week dealing with shit like this, too.

I can has sexay FBI agents having secks nao, and no moar work, pls?

innerslytherin likes Hotch/Reid now. I win.

That is all.
