The architect of her own survival

SNEAK PEEK AT MY NEW FIC (and what).
Also, I am a tease. In other words: that line is just a random snippet from the new fic (not even the title), I like it, and it applies to my life right now as well; ergo, it fits. Plus I'm not done with the whole shibang yet, but the section I've written so far basically could be its own dealio & I sort of want to just post it already (but I'm not gonna, which you all should be grateful for as it means ending on a less angsty note, most likely) so this is my compromise. I'm a complicated individual like that.
P.S. It's also possible I've already started writing down songs for my next Fanfic Soundtrack, which I will totally be posting immediately after the silly thing is finished. Haha. I HAVE A PROBLEM & I MUST BE STOPPED.
(pssst: sneak peek at that<--I love that song)
Moving on: welcome to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
divine_katie! Now that we are friends here too, you are extra special! To everyone else, you sort of already know Katie, as I've mentioned her once or twice, re: our wacky & deranged Facebook convos. Ohhh, if she only knew what she was getting herself into, friending me here. SO MANY WORDS. SO, SO MANY LONGWINDED WORDS.
In other news: I went to my ACA meeting tonight. ( It went really well. )
Lastly, here are my plans for the next three days. Muy exciting:
-tomorrow, I will take a walk and then I'm going bowling with my anxiety/depression meetup group.
-Wednesday, I am going to the beach with5brokenfingers (yaaaaaay), and possibly looking for work, if I have time. If not, I will do it on Friday, which is my free day.
-Thursday, I will finish my fic (yeah, right) & prepare for Bones. Or, as I like to call it: BOOOOOOOOOOOONES.
Continuing our (inter)National BSG Appreciation Week with a Vid of the Day, here's a lovely piece of ep-centric angst to stab you in the face by Adalla001 (those who'd like can refresh their memory of the ep by taking a trip on the wayback machine with my ole flaily recap/review. What fun!). A huge amount of my writerly mojo comes from listening to music, and this fic especially will owe many thanks to Bear McCreary & the BSG soundtracks (especially Passacaglia/The Shape of Things to Come. elaihgoiahogigh. You guys know how I feel about that song.) This vid not only uses music exclusively from said soundtracks, making it by default worth listening to at the very least, but it also does a unique job of editing frames together in time to the music in such a way as to make you really stop & *look* at each character, and think about them (especially Dee. God, my heart). And considering the entire thing is devoted to "Sometimes a Great Notion"--one of my favorite episodes (one of those I came to appreciate more & more with each subsequent rewatch, much like "Unfinished Business"), and one of the MOST FANTASTICALLY BLEAK THINGS EVER (haha, you know it's true!)--that's a very good choice for forcing the viewer to really focus on the characers for once, rather than just flitting from image to image via moving video. And I usually *don't* like slideshow format either, but this one is well-done, probably mostly because any shot one takes from this ep is automatically gorgeous anyway. So, yes. It makes the grade for me. Watch it.
