Sanity Is Relative

More tables!

Fri, 30 May 2008 02:15:34 GMT

I claimed a few more tables to give myself a little more room to manuever. I'm having fun so far. I've got a few more ficlets written, and hopefully something a little longer coming up. I've got Driver's Ed and church camp coming up for the next week, so there probably won't be a lot of posting, but I shall be writing and thinking.

Title: Bad Form
Author: artyrose/ Arty
'Verse: Criminal Minds
Claim/Characters/Pairing (whatever applies): Dr. Spencer Reid
Rating: PG-13
Warnings (inc. Spoilers): None
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Summary: Reid loses his primary source of blackmail.
Table/Prompt: Het/ Festive

At his first bureau “holiday party” (of course, it wasn’t a Christmas party) Reid found a very tipsy Morgan in a closet with a very naked and equally tipsy agent from narcotics. After squeaking like a small girl, he closed the closet door and ran. Morgan came to work the next day very hung over, and they never, ever mentioned it.

This cycle continued for several years. There would be some sort of festivity, and if there was alcohol Reid would inevitably stumble in on his co-worker, who would invariably be in various states of undress and intoxication. The worst two that he could remember were the first, because that one was the most unexpected, and that time when he and Hotch had been discussing the ban on magic physics in the bullpen (well, he had been protesting and Hotch had been ignoring him) and they walked in on Morgan and Garcia in an abandoned corridor. That one had not been fun. But, it had been a source of blackmail for several months. Against Morgan, that is. The idea of blackmailing Garcia filled Reid with terror.

So it came as a surprise for everyone when Morgan had managed to go a whole party without becoming intoxicated and without even getting so much as a phone number for a whole party. It came as even more of a surprise when he went to go get paper towels from a closet and found a very drunk Reid and the newest girl from counterintelligence making out in the closet. Both were, admittedly, fully dressed, but Morgan made fun of Reid for months afterward, and Reid’s primary source of blackmail dried up. It’s bad form to blackmail someone about something that you’ve been caught doing

My first Criminal Minds fic. My first fic posted in a long time.

It might be crazy...

...But I'm starting another fic challenge. I never finished the last, but this summer I'm trying to get into the habit of writing every day again, and I think this might help. Plus, I get to exercise a shiny new fandom. I'm going to claim Dr. Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds.

Oh, the group is mission_insane.

I bought Ink Exchange yesterday. It's amazing. Everyone on the entire planet should read it, and its predecessor Wicked Lovely.

Perhaps I will make a better post on Thursday. Not tomorrow though. Tomorrow I have an orchestra concert that my orchestra is not prepared for.

Fri, 23 Nov 2007 08:03:02 GMT

*waves*

I lose at this "posting more than once every five months" thing.

Life is good, and bad, and messy, but I'm okay with that. I've had an awesome school year, and my best friend in the whole world is moving away in less than a month. I'm in an interesting spot in my life.

I hope everyone has a magnificent day.

I just found lube in my parents' shower...

Hold me!

I mean, I know that they're both adults...But they're my parents. No sex allowed.

FRIEND MEME:
Here's how it works:

1. Reply to this post if you want me to tell you how cool you are!
2. Watch my journal over the next few days for a post just about you and why you rock my socks.
3. Post these instructions in your journal and give your friends a much needed dose of love and adoration!

Sun, 03 Jun 2007 19:21:38 GMT

I'm going to be gone for a week. Huzzah camping.

...I'M GOING TO MISS MY COMPUTER!!!

Thu, 31 May 2007 23:41:21 GMT

I have created an Insane Journal. I am not leaving LJ, but I want an escape route in case things get out of hand again. Censorship is a slippery slope, and I will not stand for any form of censorship.

In other news, migraines suck.

Sun, 27 May 2007 23:32:52 GMT

*waves* Hey kids. Been gone for a while. Life has sucked for a while. But non-suckage is on the horizon, so I'm okay.

A few things of interest have happened lately.

1. OMIGOSH NEIL GAIMAN! I always heard people talk about him, so when I saw a couple of his books in the used book store, I snatched it. Neverwhere was amazing. I am less in love with Anasi Boys, but that's okay.

2. School's out! I am very pleased. I think that I might have gotten straight A's, which would make me amazingly happy.

3. Friend drama, on all fronts. Icky, in general.

4. I'm going to go see Pirates III tomorrow, with a couple of friends. It should be fun.

5. Spring Awakening is very, very good. Mucho love.

6. I'm starting a full-length novel, possibly the first in a trilogy. The going is slow, since my muse went on a vacation during the last week of school, for essays and such, and hasn't come back yet. I've got a bit of the first chapter done, and have decided to work on outlining until my muse comes back. Overall, I'm very excited.

So, my life isn't sucking as much as it has for the past bit. Which is good. I'm reasonably certain that things are only looking up, so yay.

2:36 AM, and I'm Terrified Out of My Mind

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 06:40:43 GMT

It's 2:36 AM, and I just finished The Taking by Dean Koontz. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. I loved it, and loathed it, but most of all I was scared out of my mind.

Now, I've read horror before, and been pretty freaked out. But nothing I have ever read in my life could have prepared me for the pure, unadultarated terror that this book has put me through over the course of the past couple hours. I literally wanted to hide under the covers, or cry. Mindless terror.

But the end spoke so much to me of hope, that I can't say anything bad about this book. Even the body of it, which inspired such horror in me, was so deliciously well written that I could appreciate it through the horror.

But I don't know if I would reccommend it. By the end, the only thing taht kept me reading was the knowledge that not knowing how it ends would haunt me even more than having read the book at all.

Wed, 04 Apr 2007 21:29:15 GMT

I have officially written fifty drabbles since Sunday night. I am very pleased with myself.

Also, I miss PPN. I hope it picks up again during the summer.

That is all.

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 00:18:58 GMT

Comment and I will:

1 - Tell you why I friended you.
2 - Associate you with a song/film.
3 - Tell a random fact about you.
4 - Tell a first memory about you.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7 - Tell you my favorite user pic of yours [if it pertains].
8 - In retort, you must spread this disease in your LJ [or blog].

Here goes nothing...

Well, it's been awhile since I've last posted. Sorry about that. Life gets crazy. You know the drill. I'll try to post more often.

I've got some great friends, some awful teachers, and a ton of work, so I haven't really had time lately.

I have been doing some writing though. I realized that I really don't have the stamina, as a writer, to do a long, well thought out piece. So I've been writing every night lately, to try to improve my stamina, and my thought process. They're very short, little snippets in time. If you'd like to drop by my account over at fictionpress, I'd love you forever and ever.

http://www.fictionpress.com/u/461982/

My favorite pieces are "Tragic" and "Another Way to Dance."

*huggles f-list* I've missed you!

IF YOU COMMENT...

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal.

Mrph. Sick. I hate being sick. Read all of the fanfic that has been put off for the past week though. Yay for clearing out my inbox!

On the other hand, I really don't want to go back to sleep. I slept fine all day, but after a night like last night, I think I'll just stay online all night.

NIghtmares really are horrible. No one knows how to scare you better than your subconcious. I woke up, terrified and sobbing, three times last night. I'm not even sure how I went back to sleep after the last one.

The only thing they all have in common is the location. It was a refugee camp, with some illness going around like a plague. Or maybe it was a death camp. I can't be sure.

THe first one I was lying in a pile of people. It took me a moment, but I realized that they were corpses. I tried to cry out, but I was too sick, and no sound would escape my parched throat. I heard one of my best friends outside the pile. I tried to cry out, to move, to do anything, but it was no use. I heard the sound of fire before I felt it. My friend had come to burn the bodies, unwittingly lighting me as well. All I knew was the feeling of fire drawing closer, and the stench of burning skin.

And then I woke up.

I went downstairs, got a glass of water, then steeled myself to go back to sleep. Usually I only dream once a night.

The second dream I was still ill, but in the begining stages. I was still fairly able bodied. I couldn't find my family. I was driven by some deep instinct to find my family, to keep them out of danger, to save them. I searched and searched, but nothing. My body was quickly succumbing. Finally I found them all, together, dead. I was too late to save them. I laid down with them, knowing I was next.

This time when I woke up, I was drenched in sweat. Took a shower, another glass of water, trying to calm down, to stop crying. Before I went back to bed, I took a peek in my nine-year old brother's room, to show myself that he was still there.

The last dream was the worst. It started out the same as the first. The frantic searching, my body starting to wear out as illness took it's course. This time, when I found my family, they were still alive. Barely. I tried to save them, but I wasn't soon enough. I held them all in my arms, looked into thier eyes as they died. Starting with my sister, and ending with my mother. I told my mother I loved her, as she lay dying, but I don't think she heard it through the sound of her own death rattle. I could do nothing to save what is dearest to me.

I woke up sobbing, wishing for dawn.

I didn't get any more sleep that night.

I don't think sleep will come for me tonight, after the memory of last night. Anyone have any good phic to reccomend? I've got a few hours to pass before dawn comes.

Sat, 25 Nov 2006 23:21:52 GMT

Sometimes I wonder if my mother actively tries to make me hate her.

When still in school I always wonder why I'm glad to be back at the end of each break. And then another break comes around and I remember.

Hey kids. Been sick all week, but I'm going to school tomorrow whether I feel like it or not. I'm sick of sitting on my butt and doing nothing.

But enough whining. Ghostie gave me the letter "M." Lesse what I can do with it.

Music- Okay, that one was obvious. But still, one of the biggest parts of who I am.
Mormon- Because I am one!
Majestic- Theater that shows the most amazing show on earth!
Mythology- Something I've always been fascinated with. The story of Persephone and Hades is a personal favorite of mine.
Myspace- Reeealy addicting.
Musicals- Again, obvious.
Metamorphoses- *huggles Ovid*
MP3 Player- This is the only thing that keeps me sane on the bus to school. Too many hormonal boys.
Microsoft- Microsoft sends my Dad a lot of crap in the mail for free. That's how I got my mp3 player, and I'm considering getting the Zune, in stead of the iPod, for Christmas.

Wow. That was harder than I expected. Or maybe I'm just tired.

Hey guys...Been a while.

I'd just like to say that for once in my life, I have had a normal weekend. Well, as normal as any I've had before. It felt...good. I wouldn't trade my life for normalcy, but a weekend of normalcy was fine. No bouts of depression, no watching as everyone else has a good time without me. For once I felt included, which is such a rare thing that I felt that I should record this.

In other news, I took a six-hour nap today. It felt ridiculously good.

Sat, 30 Sep 2006 12:08:12 GMT

Climbing out of a comprimising situation is hard, but I think I'm nearly there. I'm the happiest I've been in...years, really. It feels good.
