some people see the revolution

 Head over to help_pakistan, guys? The floods there have been really really bad, and the turn out so far is much too sparse. 

My thread is here. Offering words.

 Today is Mary's second-to-last day at home, and her last full day. I have been absurdly busy, but in the short moments I've been online, I have been SO pleased about all the vids being posted. (VidCon! though not all of them, I think.)

So a drive-by rec: Run With Me by chaila43 , which is essentially a vid about how River Song could probably take on the entire universe and WIN because she is just that awesome, and it is a vid to Speeding Cars by Imogen Heap, and it is just AWESOME, omg. Parallels! Wonderful cutting! The story of River and the Doctor done so well and so beautifully! It makes me giddy with joooy.

okay, off to play Alibi with family. considering that I have managed approximately four days to myself in the past four-five weeks, I'm pretty sure I'll spend most of tomorrow past noon hiding in my room having a nervous breakdown, finishing rewatching T:SCC or watching other stuff, and hanging out on Skype hoping to talk to people. See you!

 Things that have been happening - me having alternatively a fantastic time and then freaking out quietly 'cuz of all the socialness. 

A lot of late night watching House with my dad, because my mom's been using the laptop a lot for her own work and so I have nothing to do late at night. 

Transcribing for my mom.

Far too much solitaire than is probably healthy.

A lot of Ultimate Frisbee and rock climbing (one or the other six days in a row last week!) 

Hey, I turn 18 in like two months! and my sister turns 21 in three days, and my other sister turns 16 in 3 months, and my younger brother turns 13 in three months too. All these significant birthdays! it's weird.

Rewatching the entire first season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles yesterday and today, mostly today due to the cranked-up-to-11 cramps I had. 

Uh, Teen Court yesterday, which was interesting.

How did it get to almost 12 again? Agh, I have to stop DOING this. Goodnight!

Am all caught up on Leverage for this season! OH OT3 OF JOY AND BEAUTY. <333333 breaking beer bottles! shooting jealous glances! calling each other "baby!"! (Elliott NOT MINDING.) being made of WIN and WONDERFUL and breath-taking AWESOME. yessss.

in other news, even Leverage has not been enough for me to do some really bad mood switching today. UGH. so now I'm going to watch some of Alice, because it makes me smile A LOT, and then I'm going to go to bed. and hopefully wake up at a reasonable time tomorrow. heh.

 so tired. Mary and Aidan are here, having loads of fun. Beach, springs, games, etc. but my sleep schedule is completely screwed up and has been for a while and it's really catching up to me now that I'm doing things. 

<333 see you guys in a couple days. I've been checking my flist but overall I don't have to the energy to reply, and I really don't have the energy to do any indepth replying.

 + played a good two hours of Ultimate Frisbee today, with a lot of old friends and a lot of people I didn't actually know but were cool. Feels great, but now I'm really exhausted.

+ Been watching Primeval the past few days, which I will admit I got into solely for the hot guys (so shallow, I know). It's good, though! Just so little of it. D: I really love them all, and the plot isn't that bad at all. (And it does a better job at ripping my heart out with character death's than Torchwood does - which is basically what it is -  Torchwood + Dinosaurs - Everyone Having Rampant Sex + Some Sense - Aliens = Primeval.) 

+ Bed. So tired. And Mom interrupted me just before I hit post to send me off to do some more chores. 

 *facepalm* Am fairly certain my body doesn't even know the definition of good timing. But I am feeling pretty much all better today, which is good! Just the remnants of a sore throat. :D thanks for the good wishes, guys. 

okay! one not-fun-at-all thing (and possibly even triggering for sexual violence victims, due to his phrasing) - TWoP's Jacob says some really nasty things about Amy Pond (and looking at his recent recaplet of Vincent and the Doctor, he also uses the phrase "bipolar bullshit", which. Okay, I don't have the time tonight to discuss this, because I will melt down.)

In happier things!

Harborverse - I haven't talked about it in a while, but I've been poking at Part 2 for a bit, working out plot, and yesterday/today I figured out that I've been focused on the wrong area - Cedric isn't the focus of the story. It's really all about Holland, and I'm so pleased about that. I couldn't make her central before because I couldn't figure out what she was doing, but now she has a plot arc and a character arc, with joining the Provosts and various other Things, and I'm really excited to write her, and her with Cedric, and her with Awesome People of the Provost and Awesome Mafia Leaders and her with Magic Beings. And basically just excited to be writing original regularly again, omg. Donaghues, I have miiiiissed you. (Things I need to do - rewrite Part 1. Perhaps I will get the newest rough draft done for NaNo this year? I want to set a higher goal for myself, and it's really a completely different story than the original Part 1. Also rough drafted, which is crazy for me.) Yay writing! *flails hands* SO HAPPY.

So I watched an episode and a half of House with my dad tonight (yeah, I know, he watches House - it always surprises me, but I'm pretty sure it's more about the health things than anything). It was pretty fun! I don't think I'd watch it on a regular basis, but it was really nice to have something to do with my dad that we were both interested and active in - I think he liked that he got to explain most of the relationships and characters, as I only know the basics and character names, and that I was watching something with him. So yay!

I've friended several new people recently - for those of you who are relatively new, I'm Betsy (or Beth, or Elisabeth, or Be), I love writing and fandom and music, and in RL I exhibit many of the symptoms of bipolar disorder, which causes me problems. I dunno! It's pretty easy to figure me out, really. I love to talk to people, and chatter about fannish things. 

I HAVE SUCH AN AWESOME FLIST. <333333 You guys are just SO FUN and intelligent and smart and talented - it's really incredible. I love you guys so much, I really do. I've had some rough times lately, as you know, and your warmth and kindness have been indescribably helpful, as have you simply being your wonderful selves on my flist. 

 things I want: lots more indulgent world-building fic about a world ( Doctor Who  )

you know, the more things I hear about SPN S6, the more I get excited for it! it's sounding kind of epic. 

poetry is EPIC, guys! especially when you're relating it to fandom, which means that gid_hanasheh and motherlessguns are awesome and that everyone should watch them.

man, SPN is addictive, isn't it? and it spreads like wildfire! let's see. I got Lass hooked, Lass got Z and Wyrm into it (and I think others I don't know), Larm and I got Meto and Irish and Kate into it, and now I'm sort of worried for ALL OF YOU GUYS' SANITY. SPN will steal it! and rip your heart out! oh wait, you know that now. 

I want to watch Happy Town, because it's crazy and fun, but at the same time - it creeped me out SO badly, and that was just the first episode. I think I have to be very careful about how I'm doing emotionally before I finish watching it. 

I did, however, watch the SyFy Alice, which has been on my list for a long time, and Alice/Hatter is adorable, y'all. Also everyone kicks ass! I always enjoy that.

I get to plan hopeful college-visiting! YAY.

 I have been having A LIFE this week, guys! I went out like three or four times? I went to a movie! and the springs (twice)! and I actually Did Things with Real, Live People and I didn't even consider injuring anyone! not once! 

and now it is WHO TIME OMGGGGG.

JUST THREE MORE MINUTES. 

It's storming, but the lightning must hold off long enough for it to download! PLEASE.

(PS: No, seriously, did someone like TRAVEL FORWARDS IN TIME, find out my preferences in men, and then create Methos from them?)
