So, after working on a story for about 25 years, finally writing it down and giving yourself RSI in the process, after getting the draft in when you thought you weren't going to make it, after hitting 55k when you thought you were going to struggle to reach 20k, after doing a second draft  and finally sending it off to be beta'd, what do you do? Take a rest? Have an early night? Catch up on some housework?

No. Apparently, you stay up all night...again (Yup. No sleep here) and podfic a story that basically has no punctuation in it.

Cause you're a masochist.

But then you do get to watch the ep : ) and take part in the wonderful Ask The Author thingy over on [livejournal.com profile] rlbivob

I think I'll try a nap now x

You are a total mental case, the best kind of crazy, but still, sleep needed, yes?

***hugs*** well fucking done for getting it all finished though!

Haha, yup I think 'mental case' is about right : ) It's kinda coz the recording took me longer than I thought and then I was supposed to be up so early, I just figured I wasn't feeling sleepy so I might as well stay awake. But that's 2am logic for you : )

Thanks for the hugs, Hun. SO glad it's nearly over : )

Hope you're feeling better today x

I found out that I lost out on the job, so I'm feeling a little sorry for myself, but it'll pass :)

So happy for you that you got this done hun, such an achievement! *hugs*

Oh, that's fucking poopy, I'm so sorry Hun. Let yourself eat a lot of ice cream and wallow for a bit, but then get right back on the horse, you just have to persevere. If only we could get paid to be fangirls, life would be so much easier!
Hope that lovely man of yours is taking care of you xx

It sucks bum! But I'll be okay, I'm still applying left right and centre, I'll find something. But yeah, I had a duvet day yesterday, cried a little and ate choccy, got work tonight so I'm pulling myself up by my boot straps.

I would LOVE a job as a professional fangirl, would that be great! And yes, he's taking good care, I got a fry up for dinner, more chocolate, hugs and a glass of cider, he's so good to me :)

I'm so jealous of meesasometimes. She has sex dreams about the boys all the time! I never do. Never. Not once in ten years ffs. *sighs* I have been dreaming of RLBIVOB though! Last night, Jensen introduced pregnant!Jared to another mob boss as "mia famiglia"! I'm totally grinning about it today! I'm hoping golden puts it in : ) x

I used to have sex dreams about them all the time too. (Favorite: Jared and I in bed. I had just got a new tattoo and he was post-coitally rubbing lotion on it. Doorbell rings and it's Jensen, bringing me Starbucks.) LOL

But I haven't had that sort of dream in ages. Now it's all ridiculous schmoop related to RLBIVOB Jensen spoiling pregnant Jared in ways that would never actually happen.

SIGH.

Hahaha, did he bring one for Jared too? That's just too funny.

I think once the boys start communicating, there will be schmoop, well, a psycho killer version of it. I think most of the soppy is going to be Jensen and Cal, I cannot wait for him to get mushy over that baby! : ) x

I used to dream abut Jensen doing all sorts of domestic chores for me, honestly. Jared and I would be going at it, and he'd be walking the dog or getting groceries...and he'd always bring me coffee at the end.

AJ, I DO NOT KNOW.

Oh Jensen and the baby is like...I almost truly can't think about it because it's just all dolphin noises in my head. I NEED IT. Also I am in need of a new update. Can't wait for this one. I am at severe withdrawal levels!!!

WTF! I'm laughing so hard I can't hardly breathe! OMG that is just perfect! Oh god, I can't stop!

Well, I guess as living arrangements go, that does sound pretty perfect!

It's been a week so depending on her RL stuff hopefully we'll get one tonight or tomorrow. I try not to ask as I know she goes as quickly as she can....

Oh Jesus I just noticed your icon. LMFAO! I give up...x
