where the fuck did september go?

[seventhe]

October who?!

First things first: Manly Request Week is officially over. WOW. I'd never expected (1) to get that many or (2) that they would take so long. You can browse the finished collection here or browse by character in brokenprism's tags here.

I'm actually pleased with most of them. "Garage" (for bottle_of_shine) is rushed and I know it, but that's what happens when you write at work and you know you only have 20min to finish this piece and then you have to go home; however, the idea was good, and it may be expanded on, mostly because Seifer is now eating my brains. "Duties" (for scribe_protra) suffers from voice issues as well, but I've identified my problem there (which mostly involved starting with a piece from last year rather than starting from scratch! but ah well), so I think I've learned something!

Sigh. So now I have October to catch up on claims, work on "Shine Like Gold" and "How Not To Date Blondes", and plan out NaNo for November!

In other news, hilldo, is it true that every other member of the J-Squad got a piece on Friday night but you? HEE.

So really. Where did September go? And why'd it go so freaking fast?!

I thought Big Penis got a piece of the Manlove in Waffle House, though.

Ah yes, I guess he did. He did share a bathroom that is not meant to be shared with a really drunk guy. I would not share a bathroom with anyone that walks into waffle house and proclaims, "HI! I'm shit faced Bob!".

...that is, in fact, hilarious. So where was your lovin'?!

I ain't got no lovin. I went to visit a nice young lady at work earlier in the evening but other than that my only loving came from my breakfast sandwich which was fantastic.

Does anyone ever look at my journal anymore? *pouts*

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I STALK YOU.

Uh, I mean...

...

yeah.

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

Please stalk. I have no life on Mondays.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

So as soon as I'm an Akron student I can get in that thing too?

Cause, dude, hot tub.

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

You will have free access to the leisure pools and hot tub as long as you're taking one class. And all of your friends can come with you for $8. So start looking for your swimsuit!

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

That is so much awesome. I can't wait.

Now if only they'd call me back.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Does that mean you had a date?! Do tell.

Also, why are you always eating cake?

tags: i wish i had cake, the making fun of hilldo tag

[hilldo.livejournal.com]

No i did not have a date. Just some girl I had been talking to was working on friday evening and I told her i'd come up there and distract her, and I did. Seemed to go well in my opinion but of course I have not heard from her since. This is life.

Cake keeps appearing here, so I keep eating it. A better question would be why do random people bring cake in all the time?

tags: i am a girl, wtf is going on over my head that is making the walls shake???!!

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

It is only Monday. What, should she call you and be like "thanks for the distraction"? :P

I think it may be because you work with lots of older women. They like cake, I think.

tags: you are a girl, why isn't it lunchtime yet

[hilldo.livejournal.com]

No but I sent her a random message and got no love in return. Down with the no love. And i talk to her on IM pretty frequently so f u i'll be a girl if I want!

Yeah, and that is fine with me.

tags: down with no love, up with cake.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Sometimes people get busy. Don't write her off just yet.

I am jealous. I work with middle-aged men so I never get cake.

tags: down with the no cake, up with football tonight!

[hilldo.livejournal.com]

Yes I know. My brain just never stops thinking so it has to fill in the dead time with non-helpful thoughts!

Yeah I get food all the time. It is funny how we are both in the extreme minority at our jobs as far as gender is concerned.

tags: I said what about breakfast at tiffany's, too bad its philly vs. green bay...

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I had never thought about it that way but you're right. We both get to be the odd one out, wheeee.

tags: taking early lunch, i'm rooting for green bay, is freedom free? discuss
