The Joys of Abnormality.
How could I have forgotten what a wonderful day I had yesterday? I guess this morning made me forget. As well as a job interview at JC Penney's - blech. I don't want to work there! But I can't be choosy at the moment - seeing as how I need to raise a shitload of money before I fly off.
However, there is a light at the end of my poor tunnel - I think I have a Very Good chance at getting a job at a cafe that is just opening. I went there yesterday - for the third time - to see if there was any news, and the guy actually remembered my name (gasp!) and said that in a couple of days they would have everybody come in for an orientation. Not an interview - an orientation. And the place is about two minutes from my house by walking. And the guy is very cool, nice - and cute, too, which is always a plus. Hey, I can look, can't I? Besides, I can't not look at his eyes - they're absolutely gorgeous. Large, green with a little yellow tinge that make them look like grapes, only a few shades darker - simply beautiful. I'm a sucker for green eyes, what can I say...
And then Sam and I went to Starbucks while our laundry was drying itself and in the beginning I was pissed off at him and he was trying to get me to tell him why, and it was just bad, because sometimes the reason is stupid and I don't want to say it. I'll wait till I get over whatever it is that's bothering me and just move on. Sam tells me that that's a problem and that I shouldn't hold things inside, and that's why I'm depressed all the time. While I don't want to sound like an idiot (more than I have to, anyway). And then I told him. And then things got better. In fact, they got so much better, that I finally got up the nerve to tell him why I spend so much time on the computer and especially online.
That's right. I've fessed up to the fanfiction craze.
And you know what he thought? This boy, whose favorite book is James Joyce's "Ulysses", who's currently in the midst of reading "Finnegan's Wake"? He thought it was "great" and couldn't understand why I didn't tell him earlier or why I was afraid he'd think it was stupid. He actually thought it was great.
For all his faults, and mine, Sam can be so wonderful sometimes. I wanted to kiss him right then and there.
So, now he knows - and I don't have to be all secretive, like "a thirteen year old", as he once put it. It's beautiful.
And as I was walking to and from my appointment, I got a few ideas for a story that I'm currently writing and now am very excited about it. I just hope I can do it. Writing has been veryy difficult for me lately, so I hope that it come out all right. I think I might make it into a chaptered story in order to be able to really go in-depth.
And now I will send some "feel-good" vibes to Minnesota, so poor Sekhmet can feel just a bit better about the whole dogs-in-horny-heat drama!..

Sam sounds so cool--I'm glad that he was so understanding about the whole fanfic thing. I wish that I was so lucky. The *very* few people who know of my particular obsession with fanfic in general and Remus/Sirius slash in particular think that it's 1) crazy, 2) a stupid waste of time and 3) rather perverted. I tried to explain that I *like* writing that sort of thing, but was informed that it was *still* stupid and I'd be better off not wasting my rather negotiable writing talents on idiocy like perverted homosexual smut and try something that would a bit more mainstream. To which I usually reply "Fuck off."
I want to start a commune of Remus/Sirius slashers so that we could all live together and not worry about pissy, homophobic people who Just Don't Understand. Wanna join up? Sam can come along as an honourary member.....
Oh, and the dogs are not allowed until they can get their hormones under control.

Sam - yeah. He doesn't know about the slash aspect yet (he's not familiar with the characters, and I'll be damned before he finds out the twist of PoA before reading it!) - but knowing what I know now, somehow I don't think it would a problem. And he isn't homophobic in the slightest, so yeah... And to all those who think it's disgusting, wrong and a general waste of time I say: "Go! And live your lives out the boring way and die unhappy because you never bothered to actually learn the ways of the world and all that they have to offer!"
Wow. I am a bitch.
