sleep is for wimps

[fan_eunice]

Halp!! I have once again failed at sleeping. I'm trying to stay awake until at least early evening so I can try and knock myself back on some kind of schedule that makes sense. But I'm TIRED. Need distractions. Talk to me. About anything. Please?

Possible random topics of conversation from the slush pile of thoughts currently in my head:

1. Eleventy and his faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace. I have not had a good squee fest about my Eleventy in forever (in part due to pure jealousy that I still haven't been able to see his appearance on Sarah Jane). I love him you guys. Still. Always. I have such great reserves of love stored up that he could probably kick a puppy in the Christmas special and my first reaction would be to assume the puppy was evil. Except even if the puppy was evil he wouldn't kick it. He'd be sad the puppy was evil and find a way to redeem it so it could travel with him, and take it for playdates with K9 an then the (formerly) evil puppy would somehow be key in defeating aliens and we'd all learn a Valuable Lesson about being kind to evil puppies.

2. Driving on ice. Last night I managed to get stuck at the bottom of a grade with no traction and then wedged against a tree when I tried to back up and had to hike all the way back down to the main house so my sister in law could come push my car with her jeep to get it out. WTF? How have icy roads/hills betrayed you?

3. The second Nightmare On Elm Street movie is fucking awful. And not awful in the way that some of the others are, in which I still love them despite their flaws. Awful in that it doesn't fit at all and doesn't even...like, the rest of them have moments that mash on my buttons hard even when they are ridiculous. The second one? I hate it. I made myself rewatch it when I was clipping for the vid and I resented every second of it.

4. Are you working on anything fannishly? Are you having fun with it? I am still chipping away at my festivid. It is going slower than I thought it would when I got my assignment, but I think I am making actual progress. And trying to remember that every vid has that point where you are staring at chunks of the timeline that you haven't figured out what to do with yet and it always feels like there is NO SOLUTION, and there always is a solution, and then you feel downright silly for declaring that you are giving up vidding forever in favor of knitting, because now the timeline is full and you MADE A VID and hey, there's this idea and a song...

5. Choose Your Own Adventure. Not the books, though damn did I love those things when I was 8, and I should totally get some for my niece and nephew, and if you want to pimp your favorites that you think I should get for them, that's cool. Just, I meant...whatever topic is on your mind.

I can hook you up with those SJA episodes if you need them. Let me know the best method -- I'm happy to burn a DVD or whatever you need.

bwahh! Sanctuary! My squee is MIGHTY! The show is good! I am writing fic and I will have more Sanctuary vids to make next yearrrrr, omg.

I have no festivid to work on, since I am officially out of vid mojo (used it up this year, omg so many vids) but I am cheering you on v. hard for your festivid. I shall be around for most of the day if you want to email me about it.

Between Eleventy and his face and Matt Smith and his hilarious lack of any filter whatsoever I don't know if I want to watch him be other less nice people over Christmas. On the other hand, my mother's head will explode while watching the Christopher Isherwood thing, so...
And eventually I will make that bloody Eleven vid. Eventually.

I have not driven on ice. I in fact came home without my shopping in order to avoid having to cross the roads containing people driving on ice. Ireland is not good at this snow thing. I mean, we're terrible. The roads are full of people going 'Argh! Snow! What do I do? I WANT MY MAMMY!'

ELEVENTY. Oh my goodness I ALWAYS HAVE SQUEE. HEARTS. THERE WILL BE MORE ELEVENTY AND AMY AND RORY SOON EEEE.

Yay for festivids progress! I have the source and the song and that's about it, but still. It's something! \o/

Eleventy totally snuck up on me. Like, I didn't even realize just how I felt about him until after the season was done and I watched some vid and was all "Awwwwwwww ELEVENTY!!!!"

However, I think you should watch Sherlock. That's where the action is, man.

I am sick with - something - and all I want to do is sleep rather than work on all the things I have to work on.

Also, I am trying to stay away from the Sherlock BBC Kinkmeme. Trying oh so very hard.
