Last night I had to stay downtown for a work function which started an hour and a half after the library closed, so I had dinner beforehand with Anna Leah and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ophelias_heart. It was really fun and comfortable and there was too much wine, of course. At the event we had to go to I talked too loud and said the words 'fan fiction' approximately 135,006 times and was generally more of myself around other coworkers than I usually allow myself to be.
(Of course in the light of day I feel a little self-conscious about it, which is probably a surprise to no one, because you guys know what a freak I am about these things. I might have also inadvertently insulted Bess' social activity planning skills, and I know we definitely made her jealous, because she's an even bigger freak than me.)
Anyway, I friended someone from work on LJ last night! That's never happened before! It's really nice to talk to someone in RL about fannish things, ngl, and bless Anna Leah, she puts up with a lot of nonsense (like the threesome conversation) without even blinking, but she probably doesn't know what the hell I'm talking about half the time.
So that was fun, even though I expected the thing we had to go to to be pretty lame and boring.
In other news, I have ~600 words of Kurt/Puck fic and no obligations this weekend. Well, I have to work out. And I might have to help my sister with a sewing project. And I should mow the lawn. And clean the bathrooms. And vacuum. But other than that, no obligations whatsoever!
I promise not to spend all of my free time uploading ancient fic to AO3 and ignoring the fic I should be writing. Though I have started uploading some of my ancient BWOC fic that disappeared off the internet forever ago. Ordinary Boy is far too big for a single post (nearly 160,000 words! WTF) so I had to do it in chapters. That took forever. I'm scared to re-read any of it because I know the writing is going to make me cringe. I don't even remember what happens in that story!
ETA: During one of my epic fandom-related babbles last night, I somehow got on the subject of Doctor Who, which led to the mention of Mickey/Jake. (I think it's because I uploaded my sad handful of scandalously PG-rated Mickey/Jake fics to AO3 the other day.) And now I am wondering, has no one really ever written the epic fix-it fic where Jake finds a way back through the rift to bring Mickey home? Because FFS, people. Somebody needs to write that.
