I have no watch and it's driving me insane. I hate not having a watch, I need to know what time it is and find myself looking at my bare wrist over and over. Also, I have a new bag and it's taking a while to get used to. I've used a small rucksack thing for years now, slinging it over my shoulders when I go out, but the zip went and I couldn't get it fixed. Now I have a messenger bag and it just feels wrong. It also has about a million pockets and I keep losing things. But I transferred my badges and my sparkly lobster so things shouldn't feel strange for too long.

I've just posted to Shiny and New about my last two stories, and gah, I still get that knot in my stomach when I throw my stuff out in public like that. I know I did that anyway as soon as I posted them originally but this seems more like shouting, look at me! Of course nothing could ever reproduce the utter terror of posting to 852 Prospect for the first time, I swear I was shaking so hard I could hardly hit the keys. But yeah, Shiny and New, where I had the additional worry that the horns/tail/wings story wasn't GSF at all really. I mean, there's licking and needing and clinging together in a hot mess of men but actual sex? Not so much because I'm a loser who hates writing sex because, omg, I suck at it and would rather stick to the licking kissing stuff where there's touching and looking and a fade to black where they all have sex, the end

I have 6 boxes of Avon to sort out now. They're sitting in a stack in the middle of my living room taunting me. Strangely staring at them threateningly doesn't make them sort themselves. *stares* Nope, they still haven't moved.

Before I go and drown myself in bubblebath. Good luck to all you Nanowrimo people, I hope the words flow for you.

I lied, a non gip gip as the lovely escapist_xbq made me some gorgeous Chris icons because she's lovely like that. Thank you, Jessa *smooch* And you know, if anyone else would like to icon for me, especially group shots, I wouldn't say no ;)

I loved your stories, both of them, I'm just all crazed with work and out of touch, so my feeding back sucks lately. But yes, I can understand being nervous, and at the same time, your stories are amazing, so no fretting yourself any more than absolutely necessary, OK?

I'm so useless without a watch!

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

I should send you mine! I've got several and I never wear one.

[rikes]

I don't have a watch either! Or well, I actually do have a watch, but I don't want to wear it because it's uncomfortable when you walk with the crutches. And for some reason the daylight saving time thing made all the clocks at the university stop at 01:06, so I've been a bit confused at the university yesterday and today. :)

The first time I posted to 852 Prospect, I sat there with my hand hovering for the longest time, I was so scared. It was exhilerating though, wasn't it?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Once I hit the post button it really was exhilarating, especially when that first bit of feedback came in and I realised that people had actually read what I'd posted *g*

[kirsten-lynch.livejournal.com]

Aw, don't be afraid to post your stuff out there!! Even if there are critics, there will always be fans! :)

I forgot my watch today and I thought I would go nuts, especially since we were on a time crunch!!

If you want icons, you can put in a request over at couch_creations. The only reason I ask for people to request them there is because I have to really schedule my time wisely and it helps me keep track of who gets what and in what order. ;) Everyone is welcome to request icons, though!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's not fear exactly, more 'omg what am I doing!?' though that could be fear too *g*

I really can't do without a watch. I get paranoid that I'm going to miss stuff which is stupid because when I do go out I go in plenty of time. It's just a security thing I suppose.

I forgot about your comm! I'm so going to join now and get in a request. Thanks for the reminder!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Not having a watch makes me all edgy, like I'm going to miss something. I can understand why you don't wear one though. How's you leg now btw? Getting stronger?

All the clocks stopped at the same time? That's weird!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

*mwah*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

There's no need to explain. I totally understand being busy and seeing how hard you work I'm surprised you can read at all, so don't give it another thought.

Saying that, thank you :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You don't wear a watch?! What's wrong with you?! ;)

[rikes]

It's getting better and better every day! I still take the crutches with me every time I leave the house, though. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don't, but I want to have them with me in case something happens.

Well, all the clocks are connected so that they don't have to set each clock separately every autumn and spring, but this time somebody obviously fucked it up.

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with you?!

well, plenty, but I noticed my stress level went waaaay down when I stopped wearing one. There are enough clocks etc around that I'm not late for things either.

[boozlebomb.livejournal.com]

Man, I hate not having a watch as well. I haven't had one for a few months now (because I'm lazy and can't go out and buy another one) ...but I STILL go looking at my wrist all the time.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's it exactly. It drives me nuts because even though I know I'm not wearing it I still look at my watch *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

A less stressed you is a good thing so I approve of your no watch wearing thing :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's getting better and better every day!

That's wonderful news!

[riikkarocks.livejournal.com]

Oh! We were looking at the clocks today, wondering what had happened. Now I just want to know if they'll ever show real time again, or if we're eternally stuck at 01:06. ;)

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

*mwah* don't worry about your stories. you're a good writer.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

*smooch*

You're a sweetheart.

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

:-D

Hey, I think they started moving on the afternoon today! I don't know if they're showing the correct time, but at least they're moving! :)

[riikkarocks.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I went back to campus after writing that comment, and at least some of them were showing the correct time. Fascinating! ;)

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

I wanted to tell everyone I knew- I got feedback!! So exciting.

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

always for you.
